"We wanted to ensure every guest truly gets to experience Cuba at its finest. We went as far as recruiting Cuban nationals and flying them in to live in Lebanon as not to miss a step into brining Cuba to Lebanon and the Middle East. We are confident that the Lebanese public will fall in love with the energetic atmosphere we have created from the very first look and taste of the authentic homemade recipes."
said Mr. Wassim Challita, CEO of La Bodeguita del Medio-Beirut.
The business venture comes to Lebanon following negotiations with franchise owners to ensure true representation of the Cuban franchise sensation in Lebanon and this includes an extensive training for food & beverage and service standards.
This new vibrating venue joins a host of selective locations to visit in Beirut and it is expected to become the reference for Cuban cuisine in the country and the region.
