About Havana 1957 | Ocean Drive (1410) | Cuban Cuisine

Havana 1957 on Ocean Drive transports you to the golden age of Cuba with every bite and sip. Located at 1410 Ocean Drive in Miami Beach's Flamingo/Lummus neighborhood, this vibrant Cuban restaurant sits directly across from the beach, offering outdoor seating with prime people-watching views.

The menu celebrates classic Havana-era recipes — think crispy stuffed green plantains, slow-braised ropa vieja, vaca frita, Cuban sandwiches, and indulgent tres leches cake — all washed down with freshly muddled mojitos and tropical cocktails from the full rum bar. Live dinner shows every Friday and Saturday at 8pm bring the spirit of Old Havana to life with a Cuban trio performance and free salsa lessons.

Weekend brunch runs Friday through Sunday starting at 10:30am, with unlimited mimosas and Cuban-inspired egg dishes. Latino-owned and family-friendly, Havana 1957 is the kind of place where groups gather, tourists discover, and Miami Beach regulars keep coming back.

Price range is moderate at $$, making it accessible for most budgets.
