The cuisine, cocktails and décor of Calle Dão strive to transport our guests back to El Barrio Chino when it was at the height of its existence. Executive Chef Humberto Guallpa has created mouthwatering dishes that seamlessly blend Cuban staples with Asian flavors, such as his Peking-Style Roasted Chicken, a whole chicken roasted with crispy garlic, shallots, tomato de árbol and cilantro with a side of parsley sauce. The cocktails, created by Mixologist Joy Daniel, also meld the old world with the new using historic names for libations with modern ingredients. The Ten Years’ War cocktail is made of red bell pepper infused Anejo Rum, ginger syrup, fresh lime juice, ginger ale and mint topped off with cabernet sauvignon. The 1847 is a bold sip of orange infused vodka, amaretto, fresh lime juice, ground ginger and sesame oil garnished with star anise and commemorates the year the first ship carrying Chinese laborers arrived in Cuba. Calle Dáo’s décor, the creation of its owner Marco Britti (Favela Cubana), is reminiscent of a sultry, old-world Havana restaurant with white-washed walls, distressed wood and whirring ceiling fans. Chinese artwork, spices and bright colors provide the accents. Step into a bygone era and enjoy a modern dining experience at Calle Dão.
