Little Havana

Walk into Little Havana and you've traded Margate's seafront for Havana's heart. The place thrums with colour and life in a way that feels genuinely transported, not theme-park forced. You'll find yourself ordering a second mojito before your mains arrive, watching locals and visitors alike tucking into plates of ropa vieja and fresh seafood that tastes like someone actually knows what they're doing back there. It's the kind of spot where you can rock up solo on a Tuesday and still feel part of something, or bring a crew and commandeer a table for hours.
