You’ll Be Transported To Old Havana Dining At Havana Rumba in Kentucky
While it would be wonderful to be able to instantly teleport to locations around the globe just to grab that unique cuisine, it’s not exactly possible, is it? There are, however, a few places around that can make you feel like you’re really eating weinerschnitzel in Germany or pho in Vietnam, and we’ve found one such incredible eatery that’s bringing the Caribbean right here to the Bluegrass State. Havana Rumba is just like stepping into old Havana.

Havana Rumba’s story begins with immigration—the owner, Marcos Lorenzo, came here from Cuba in 2000 to seek his very own American Dream. With his dream grew a culinary celebration of Cuba that customers keep going back for.
There are actually four different Cuban restaurants around the city, all owned and operated by the same man. Today we’re focusing on Havana Rumba Restaurant & Bar on Shelbyville Road in Louisville.
So the next time you’re wishing you had a door that led to fantastic cuisine around the world, head to Louisville and check out Havana Rumba Restaurant & Bar.
