North Market is pleased to announce the addition of Pablo's Havana Café, the newest merchant to join the community of "best-in-class" businesses at North Market Bridge Park in Dublin, Ohio. Owned by Pablo Taura, the new business will serve world famous cuban sandwiches and homemade cuban cuisine.
Inspired by the home cooked meals of his family, Taura opened his authentic Cuban restaurant in Powell, Ohio. Pablo’s Havana Café first opened its doors in December 2018. After a successful year of operation, Taura expanded the restaurant with an additional 1,000 square feet allowing for more guests and private event space for private bookings and wine tastings.
"I was inspired by the home cooked meals of my mother Sonia and grandmother Anita. I decided to take a chance and bring the diversity of the Cuban cuisine to Powell, and now I am excited to work with North Market Bridge Park to further expand our operation. I cannot wait to share my family's recipes with the Bridge Park and wider Dublin communities!" -Pablo Taura, Pablo's Havana Café
The Pablo’s Havana Café menu features their signature sandwich “El Cubano”, the Cuban Sandwich, made with Cuban bread, fresh roasted pork, honey ham, swiss cheese, sliced pickles, and mustard; all pressed to perfection using a panini press. Additional menu items include tostones, croquetas, empanadas, homemade soups and salads, as well as traditional Cuban desserts.
"As a huge fan of Cuban cuisine and after meeting Pablo, I knew he would make a wonderful addition to the North Market community. His food is authentic, comforting, and above all delicious. I'm delighted to welcome Pablo's Havana Café to the Market family!" -Rick Harrison Wolfe, Executive Director + CEO, North Market
Pablo's Havana Café will occupy the merchant space north of Hoyo's Kitchen on the east aisle of the building. Construction will begin in the coming weeks with an opening date estimated for late fall. An announcement will follow when an opening date is finalized.
