Come to Old Cuba with our delicious Sunday Brunch in DC! Here at the Georgetown Waterfront, we pride ourselves in serving authentic Latin inspired cuisine and our Brunch is no exception.

It’s almost noon and your attempt to brown bag it is not cutting it. How about you take a step back to simpler times with a delicious Cuban Sandwich from Cabanas in DC?

This classic Sandwich became common lunch food for workers in both the cigar factories and sugar mills of Cuba and the cigar factories  around the 1900′s.  In Cuba (where it is more commonly known as a mixto), the sandwich was, and still is today, served in kiosks, coffee bars and casual restaurants. In Tampa’s bustling Latin enclaves, it was served in mainly in cafes catering to workers in the cigar industry. By the 1960s, Cuban sandwiches were also common on Miami cafeteria and restaurant menus, as the city had gained a large influx of Cuban residents.

In 2010 MSN Local named the Cuban as one of the “15 essential sandwiches.”

Try one today at the premier Latin American Infused Restaurant on the Georgetown Waterfront! We make our with Abuela’s Recipe: Cuban bread, not so dissimilar from Italian bread, is heavily buttered and topped with pork loin (roasted daily), ham, Swiss cheese, crunchy pickles and mustard. It’s flattened thin on a sandwich press call a plancha for gooey, meaty perfection with a pleasant pickle crunch! YUM!

Experience the flavor of Authentic Latin American Cuisine and escape to Cabanas for a romantic dinner at Georgetown’s Washington Harbour. Hid away in one of our private cabanas or enjoy the patio overlooking the beautiful Washington Harbour Fountains and the Georgetown Waterfront while the weather is still nice this Fall. To quench your thirst, enjoy frozen margaritas, a wide variety of Tequilas, Cuban mojitos, and sangria.

Come on over!

Want to add some Latin flavor to your Halloween festivities this weekend?  We’re going to be dancing and trick-or-treating all night long, so come to the D.C. waterfront and party at Cabanas to celebrate Halloween and the next day’s Mexican holiday, Dio de los Muertos (“Day of the Dead” in Spanish.)  Chilled drinks and a chill down your spine—that’s the way to spend Halloween!

Ice cream: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry. . . . avocado?! Most certainly not a traditional flavor found in the aisles of your local grocer, avocado ice cream does exist! Thanks to copious amounts of ripe and rich avocados in Brazil, cooks have been finding creative culinary uses for the tropical fruit.  Check out TLC’s recipe for avocado ice cream!

After you try your hand at this Brazilian treat, come out to Cabanas for a refreshing Caipirinha to round out your Brazilian escapades!  Mmmm yes to Brazilian food and drink in DC!!

What is the spiciest product commercially available that comes complete with a Guinness Book  of World Records “hottest food product” status, limited 999 bottle production AND (!) a disclaimer that you have to agree to upon purchase?!

It is the Blair’s 16 Million Reserve sauce!  This sauce contains pure Capsaicin Crystals – Caspian is what makes peppers spicy.  So Blair’s is selling absolutely distilled and completely concentrated fire!!!

True to our Latin character, we simply adore spicy foods.  That’s why we serve our Calamari and Rockfish with a little bit of kick!!
