La Casa Buena Vista in Berlin

A fantastic restaurant where you immediately feel welcome. The food is excellent, and the owner, Janine, is absolutely wonderful. We had a marvelous evening, laughed a lot, and left with a smile on our faces. Thank you so much! We will definitely be back!

A truly wonderful restaurant 😘 We were there as a family yesterday and ate Cuban food for the first time. You can choose between really spicy and not so spicy. The food was absolutely amazing, the atmosphere is lovely, and the service is incredibly friendly and attentive. Even though we drove there and had trouble finding a parking spot, we were so impressed. In short: We'll definitely be back, no question about it, see you soon! Next time we'll take the tram. Best regards and thank you so much for the wonderful evening.

The cocktails used to be much better.

Hands down the best food I have rated in Berlin! The owners Janine & Ronny are absolute stars! So hospitable and will make sure you have a great time! Must mention the Mai Tais! Our favourites ;)

All I can say is: What a fantastic atmosphere! 😍 The staff and owners are very welcoming, friendly, and attentive, always making sure their guests have everything they need. The food and cocktails were incredibly delicious. I'll definitely be back.

A very nice atmosphere, as if you were in Cuba. Delicious dishes, very friendly staff.

Since the change of ownership, this Cuban restaurant has truly gained charm! Upon entering, you're greeted warmly and immediately made to feel welcome. The entire evening was characterized by a warm, informal atmosphere – you truly feel like the guest is the center of attention. The team is attentive without being intrusive and ensures that nothing is lacking. An all-round successful evening with great service, delicious food, and genuine hospitality – highly recommended! 🌴🇨🇺

I had the chorizo-stuffed chicken breast with mango, passion fruit, chili sauce, and rice. The dish was amazingly flavorful. Unfortunately, the portion size was very small. Without the baked nacos as a starter, this dish is only for those with a small appetite. The chicken breast wasn't stuffed either. Four pieces of chorizo ​​were attached to a wooden skewer underneath. The service was friendly, and I can still recommend the restaurant. Please note: Payment is only by debit card or cash.

A very nice and authentic restaurant. We received very friendly and prompt service. The prices are perfectly reasonable. We also had very interesting conversations with the owner. Should we Swabians ever return to Berlin, this restaurant would be a must. Many greetings to Berlin, and a heartfelt thank you from everyone (in the group) for the wonderful evening.

Very good service. Very tasty food. All around great.

We've enjoyed coming here for years, even traveling 80km for it. It's simply something different from the hundredth Greek, Italian, Mexican, or whatever. You'll have to expect a bit of a wait for your order, but you'll be rewarded with delicious food.

A definite YES! I was a bit unlucky with the chicken nachos, but the staff were very relaxed and friendly, 40 minutes before closing time. The menu, however, promises a culinary delight. I'll check that out another time.

Can't say about authenticity as it was my first cuban restaurant. The waitress was welcoming. Food comes slow but as expected. Everything was really delicious, although the plantain fritter was a bit stale. Worth trying!

I can only recommend it; everything is perfect, from the service and ambiance to the food and drinks. The value for money is also excellent.

Gemütliches Ambiente und gute Speisen. Natürlich auch tolles Personal.

I've lived in Weißensee for a long time and always wanted to come here – now I finally made it, and I wasn't disappointed! The food was incredibly delicious, the cocktails were fantastic, and the staff were simply warm and welcoming. In the summer heat, they even offered free melon and some friendly small talk – a very pleasant atmosphere. The prices are a bit on the high side, but they're absolutely justified – it was simply delicious all around. I'd definitely come back!

We celebrated a medium-sized family party (20 people) in June and didn't regret it for a second. The planning and advance discussions were relaxed, and we immediately had the impression that everything was in good hands. We gratefully accepted the recommendations for a Cuban buffet: 1-Crayfish Soup 2-Cuban Fricassee with Pork 3-Trinidad with Beef 4-Chicken Leg in Red Wine Sauce 5-White Rice + /Congris (Brown Rice with Beans) 6-Yuca Frita + Baked Plantains 7-Caribbean Salad 8-Tapas 9-Cuban Cake 🎂/Strawberry Cake 10-Fruit Salad (Guys, bring empty containers, God knows they won't be eaten). The cakes alone were amazing. Thanks again to the entire crew for the fantastic evening. Superbly organized, everything went smoothly, no empty promises, and you can tell that Janine & Ronny's employees enjoy what they do and are passionate about the company. (Hey, and there was even a traditional birthday present from the hotel! Nothing was forgotten.)

A little late, I'd like to thank you for my wonderful birthday party. Especially Janine and Ronny, who were there for all my guests and me with their dedication and unfailingly friendly manner. We'd also like to praise the food; the buffet was truly delicious. The cocktails were equally delicious. Thank you again for everything. Sylvia, Chino, Maxi, and everyone who participated.

I thought it was great. Very authentic food and drinks. I highly recommend it. The service was also really great and open to small conversations. I would come back anytime.

Unfortunately, it wasn't our thing. We've been to Cuba many times and imagined something different... a different atmosphere and different food. This was more like a bit of Cuba, a bit of a snack bar. Not a very nice restaurant per se... The drinks contain a lot of alcohol...

The service and the nachos were great. What wasn't so great was that the tip was automatically deducted when paying with a card.

A little too dark inside, but everything else is fine.

We were here last Friday afternoon—a bit naive without a reservation, but they managed to find us a table. Everything was absolutely perfect. We're still raving about the service, the wonderful ambiance, and the food. We'll definitely be back, but next time we'll make a reservation.

Give me a call, the cocktails are great

Vegetarian dishes are okay but not amazing (frozen vegetables). We had fun, and the dessert was great.

Very authentic Cuban cuisine, super delicious food, super tasty drinks, and the warmest hosts I've ever had the pleasure of meeting anywhere. Warm greetings from Koblenz, we'll definitely be back ❤️

Top-notch food and drinks. A great recommendation for rum. I had a quick chat with the owner. This is where you live and embody Cuba.

A Cuban restaurant in Weißensee? Let's give it a try. The service is really great. Attentive, fast, and presentable. But the food is more forced than skillful. It's tasty. But I got the impression that they want to cook Cuban and Creole dishes, but haven't really put any effort into it. Flavors can be adjusted, and dry herbs have no place in any kitchen.

Spectacular food 😍😍 and very friendly

We spontaneously stopped by for dinner today; the owner changed a month and a half ago due to health reasons. Ronny, "the new guy," is very nice, the kitchen staff has been retained, and the food is great. Happy hour from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. for cocktails; I highly recommend a visit!

Unfortunately, the owner has changed. Now I'm no longer welcome with my dog. The new owner greeted us with some rude comments, so we turned around immediately.

Very tasty food, very friendly service and great ambience, you feel like you are on vacation 😊

Very disappointed! Unfortunately, after the change of management, I can't comment on the food or drinks. Why? After driving all the way from Frohnau to Weißensee, we were greeted by the new owner upon arrival with such rudeness that we immediately turned around. I'd never had any contact with him before. We used to really enjoy coming to the Cuban restaurant, but that's no longer the case. It's a real shame!

Such a wonderful evening. I don't even know what to praise first. The atmosphere is so Cuban, you'd think you were on vacation. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff is incredibly attentive, cheerful, and fun. I think you'll have a lot of fun even if you go alone. Keep it up, and I hope to see you soon.

The food was 100% better than before about 4 years ago, highly recommended

The dishes are quite tasty and the atmosphere of the restaurant is very cozy 5/5

Very personal and friendly service and the best cappuccino in Berlin!

Always delicious! Always happy to come back. The waitress was really nice and sweet.

Thanks to Ronny and the team, I still give the service a 6th star.

A piece of Cuba in the middle of the city – an unforgettable evening! It was my first time in this restaurant – and definitely not the last time! I was thrilled from the first moment: the service was warm, attentive and completely perfect. As soon as you enter, you feel as if you have immersed yourself in a small shop in Cuba - the lovingly designed furnishings and the atmosphere radiate pure Caribbean attitude to life. The team is incredibly friendly and makes you feel completely comfortable. Particularly noteworthy are the owners Janine and Ronny, who make the evening something very special with their authentic nature and passion for what they do. Everything from the culinary point of view was also at the highest level: the food was not only a visual highlight, but also an absolute hit in terms of taste. The chef knows his craft - every dish was perfectly seasoned and prepared with love. And the price is really great too 👍 A real gem – highly recommended!

Delicious! Super friendly staff. Perfect to reach with a wheelchair.

The staff are all very friendly and accommodating from the bartender to the server. What you ordered comes quickly and reliably. We ended the evening with a few drinks. The cocktails are strong (especially the Buena Vista Speziale) so you can taste the alcohol. It was a bit too much for my taste, so I was a bit jealous of the non-alcoholic versions. These taste great (but have no fun factor 😉). In terms of price, everything is completely okay. I would come back.

I would only give this place a bad rating because I don't want to not get a table. Please also introduce it for delivery.

Good drinks, fair prices, attentive staff. On the door there is a sticker with the bat crossed out (Bacardi), there is only Havana Club here and that's a good thing. I hope the store still exists, I want to come back. Have the Victoria Siempre!

An incredible selection of very tasty dishes. I can recommend the potato soup.

Very friendly service, we didn't have to wait that long for our food and it tasted good. The cocktails were really tough and I had a lot of fun afterwards.

Rustic restaurant with friendly staff. The food was excellent.

That was great and not too expensive 👍

Before our visit, we made reservations as recommended and also saw that there could be waiting times. According to the website, you should bridge this with an appetizer. No sooner said than done. We ordered the large appetizer platter. This came after 70 minutes! Unfortunately, I have to say that, in my opinion, none of the starters justify this preparation time. We actually had to push a bit for the main course because we still had an appointment. This came quite quickly. The courts just weren't really convincing. The vegetable pan with rice was returned almost untouched. These were cooked (frozen) vegetables with rice. The comment of the condition was just - well tastes are different. Unfortunately, the filling of the burritos was mostly rice with a bit of meat. The atmosphere is very nice and the service is generally very friendly and attentive, but also a bit disorganized. The price-performance ratio isn't really right here and the long waiting times can unfortunately only be explained by the suboptimal organization in the kitchen. This criticism is not meant in a bad way, perhaps it encourages us to rethink the concept and adapt it to the capabilities of the kitchen and the service.

Nice and friendly service, nice audience! Delicious food and a good selection of rum :)

One of my favorite restaurants for years. Cozy, authentic, lots of regular guests.🤗

We made a reservation by phone at very short notice because the Pequeña Havana in Berlin was closed for vacation. So we got around to trying something different. It was a lovely evening with friends at La Casa Buena Vista. The service was nice and the food was very tasty. We'll definitely be back. We liked it a lot ❤️❤️❤️

Was there for the first time, staff is very friendly, food also tasted very good. I'd love to come back.

Lecjeted eat good prices, you also like to wait longer

The food is very delicious to me, I normally don't like dried meat and I ordered tamales and it was ground corn with dried meat. The service was very friendly and it was very clean.

Very nice service and super tasty food. A little insider tip.

A really nice place to stay and the food was delicious!

A great recommendation! In addition to the really good atmosphere with typical Cuban music and lovingly selected furnishing accessories, the service staff is very nice and attentive. And the food is absolutely excellent. If you enjoy absolutely authentic Cuban cuisine, you don't have to fly so far away, just come here to the restaurant La Casa Buena Vista...

Easy to reach. It's great that the tables aren't too close together. Very friendly service and, most importantly, the food tastes good. For carnivores and also for the others... there is something to be found.

Our regulars' table has been going there for over three years now. Eating is always a dream. The waitresses are always friendly and accommodating and from the first visit you have the feeling that you are part of a small family where you can simply feel at home.

A great little restaurant with a great ambience, very tasty food and good drinks. You should have a little patience, especially on weekends. It's worth the wait.

Berlin charm meets Cuban flair! An all around positive experience. From being greeted to eating and saying goodbye... A very warm team with extremely tasty dishes. Unfortunately, the residents are unreasonable, so you have to go in from 10 p.m. But that was also explained lovingly and understandably. We'll be back :)

Read the previous reviews and decide to try this place, very tasty and good cocktails, so nice to try a new cuisine!! Internal deco also very nice, would be lovely to play Cuban music, or a bit louder can be heard sitting outside:)

You just have to go there. Anyone who loves Cuba. A moment to feel close to Cuba...

It's cute. If you're in the neighborhood, check it out.

Top always almost on our doorstep.

Nice and kids friendly. Lovely service. We will definitely come back.

The food is delicious but when it's your birthday and your friends want to prepare a nice surprise, it seems like the service is 100% against it. It was the case this time. They were not helpful even when my husband wanted to pay for it. No matter what would have been nice (a special cocktail or a piece of cake). They just didn't want to. Very unfortunate!

Super delicious restaurant! Food is very good! Waiting times for the food to arrive are quite long, but it's even more worth it! (+- 1 hour) Unfortunately, the waitress doesn't go any further to ask for drinks or anything else. If it's purely about food 5 ⭐️ But due to the lack of service I only give it 4 stars. Thanks !

They take their time, but the food is worth the wait. They provide toys for kids while waiting to make the waiting easier for families too 🙌🏽. Wi definitely come back and bring friends. Try the Presidente beer 🍺

One of the best foods. Loved the place. It has outdoor seating and the staff was kind enough to move the table a bit so that we could adjust the Kinderwagon right next to us. The food was really tasty. We ordered from the Chicken menu and i am definitely going there again. Cocktails were done really well and made sure to take advantage of the Happy hour between 19:00 and 20:00.

Great little restaurant with delicious Cuban dishes at fair prices, the cocktails also taste really good. The staff is friendly and attentive. And you can really organize your private celebration here. We recommend! Thank you Andreas and team 😀

Was here by chance yesterday and got a fantastically delicious Santa Cruz. I thought I was probably just lucky, but also stopped in for dinner today - unplanned. All I can say is: a feast for the palate and eyes!!!

The memory card is very good here! There are typical Cuban dishes with meat, fish, vegetables and fruit. Alcohol is also of high quality here! Highly recommended!

Nice place with a super friendly team.

Fast service, good price/performance ratio, delicious cocktails 🍸 The only thing you should avoid is the small table right next to the toilet (heavy visitor traffic)

Consistently great cuban food over the years, perfect after a day at Weißensee. You may need to reserve in advance but it’s worth it!

Angels work there Never had such good and friendly service. Food tops everything.

cozy, warm, friendly, toilet clean but cold, but warm water for washing your hands, attentive staff, food takes a while, but freshly prepared and tasty...it's worth the wait...

Very tasty food and excellent cocktails.

Great restaurant. The food was very tasty, the service was great and very friendly.

Definitely the best Cuban restaurant in Berlin. Large portions at low prices. Unbeatable in terms of taste. The food is freshly prepared, is always delicious, sometimes takes a minute longer but the wait is worth it. The Cuba Libre's are always well mixed 😜🍹🥃🍻🥂 Absolute recommendation 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Cool restaurant with Cuban flair. Food and drinks were good and reasonably priced. Staff nice and friendly! A minus point for the opening times, although this is not due to the restaurant.

You miss your land, its Cuban flavor... I urge you to visit "La Casa Buena Vista" in Berlin. You will not regret it, the food is Excellent, the service is first class, the atmosphere is very Cuban and welcoming, its music and its surroundings will make you feel in our land. I will repeat the visit. Thank you for the excellence and details.

Nette Bedienung, gute Cocktails, super Essen.

Tolles Ambiente. Leckeres Essen.

Absolut empfehlenswert, wenn man die kubanische Küche testen möchte. Liebevoll eingerichtetes Restaurant. Wir kommen schon seit Jahren hier her.

Sehr leckere kubanische Speisen, der Service und das Ambiente waren super. Es ist wirklich ein Besuch wert.

Mala atención, así que me retire

Immer wieder gerne, für größere Truppe unbedingt reservieren.. Alles frisch zubereitet,deshalb ein bisschen Zeit einplanen-halt kein Imbiss...und dann einfach genießen

Wir waren sehr gespannt da wir noch nie kubanisch essen waren. Die Speisekarte liest sich wie eine Mischung aus spanisch und mexikanisch. Was großartig ist, es gibt extrem viele kleine Speisen. So das wir uns 4 verschiedene bestellt haben und so viel probieren konnten. Es ist alles frisch gemacht und SEHR lecker. Es gibt auch eine Auswahl an Zigarren und leckere alkoholfreie Cocktails. Service war sehr zuvorkommend und das Ambiente mit der Musik hat Charme. Ich kann es nur empfehlen. Parkplätze sind in der Straße vorhanden.

Ja einfach mal vorbeischauen ab 17 Uhr ist geöffnet Dann einfach Cocktails und das Kubanische Essen genießen.

Reservierung über Homepage hat schon mal funktioniert, Umbestellung von zwei auf vier Personen telefonisch - ebenfalls. Das Essen sah vielleicht nicht wie in einem 5 Sterne Restaurant angerichtet aus, schmeckte aber sehr gut. Eine Gruppe Kubaner neben uns - für eine Unterhaltung nicht hilfreich - umsetzen an einem anderen Tisch, gar kein Problem. Gelungener Abend, gerne wieder, empfehlenswert. PS: Ich hasse Reis...Congris - Das kubanische Nationalgericht - der Hammer!

Geheimtipp: Endlich mal wieder was essen, was man nicht an jeder Ecke bekommt. Gute Auswahl und frisch zubereitet...Auf frisches Essen muss man eben ein wenig warten, was in dem netten Ambiente aber nichts ausmacht. Die Preise sind sehr gut und mit Getränken und Alkohol nicht vergleichbar!! Die netten Bedienungen runden das ganze ab... Alles in allem...Es lohnt sich. Danke 🌹

Wir wurden sehr freundlich bedient. Das Personal war reizend und ist sogar auf unsere kleine Püppi ( 3 Jahre) eingegangen. Es ist ja nicht immer so leicht mit Kleinkindern essen zu gehen. Hat alles super geklappt. Essen war lecker und Ausstattung liebevoll her gerichtet.

Ich habe mein Geburtstag dort gefeiert....super gegessen und eine tolle Bedienung...wir kommen gerne wieder...Preis-Leistung Verhältnis ist supi😍😍😍

Ok wir schaffen alles, und ihr.

Das Restaurant liegt an einer verkehrsberuhigten Straße und hat schöne Außenplätze. Der Gastraum ist aber auch sehr schön. Die Speisekarte ist mit vielen Speisen gespickt, die ich nicht kannte. Alles was ich gegessen habe, war sehr lecker. Das Getränkeangebot ist vielseitig. Wer mag, kann sich auch eine kubanische Zigarre gönnen. Die Kellnerinnen sind sehr nett. Reserviert euch besser einen Tisch, es kann voll sein. Toiletten sind sauber. Mit dem ÖPNV kommt man super hin. Fahrt bis zur Haltestelle Weißer See. Parkplätze gibt es im begrenztem Umfang. Fazit: Geht bzw. fahrt hin, es lohnt sich.

Das beste Kubanische Restaurant in ganz Berlin. Hier bekommt man authentische kubanische Küche. Die Bedienung ist sehr aufmerksam und das Essen sehr geschmackvoll. Ich komme immer wieder gerne!

Bedienung war super, sehr nett und freundlich . Essen war sehr lecker und üppig .
