El Cuba Libre — Restaurant in Tameside

Oh my word! This place is AMAZING!!!!! Without meaning any disrespect to The Sportsman, when you walk into the pub downstairs, your first thoughts are 'am I in the right place?' and 'it's a bit of a dive'. DO NOT BE FOOLED...

You need to go upstairs to the restaurant which is homely despite the need for social distancing.

The tapas plates are divine. We had meatballs, chicken and chorizo, yellow rice and chicken, mushrooms in a blue cheese sauce, vegetarian tortilla, patatas bravas, crispy cod and garlic bread. The cod was the most delicious fish EVER! The batter was the lightest batter I have tasted in my life. I hate blue cheese, but in the sauce it was gorgeous! Everything was perfect!

Our waiter was attentive without being obtrusive or irritating. My daughter said the mojito was the best she'd ever had.

Superbly cooked and very tasteful. Only slight letdown for me was lack of cocktails even though are advertised. Chips looked like out of the bag. Very good service even though only 1 front of house on. Very kindly given some beef in gravy from the Sunday dinner leftovers when it could of easily been thrown in the bin. My belly definitely appreciated the kind gesture :) The 3 tapas and glass of wine is a absolute bargain at just under£12, very good portions and very hot...

This is a wonderfully diffrent experiance. You have to walk through the pub down stairs to get upstairs but its a fun little find. The food is lovely and authentic and reasonably priced the drinks are also cheaper than your average restraunt. We went with a celiac friend and his 2 year old son also with celiacs and they did not struggle to find plenty of gluten free options. Give it a go i promise you will enjoy...
