You could win a meal for two at Escudo De Cuba
Our friends at Escudo De Cuba have kindly offered a meal for two for one lucky winner in our latest prize draw worth £60. This is a restaurant with more than a little ambition – because it also houses a night club, dance class and comedy venue! Having run the award-winning Cuba Libre restaurant in Islington for over 20 years, the team moved to trendy Dalston last year, establishing the vibrant Escudo de Cuba restaurant.
The restaurant is East London's only Cuban eatery and serves London diners with authentic Cuban cuisine, tapas and classic cocktails. Our lucky winner can enjoy their choice of traditional Cuban dishes, home made empanadas and delicious tapas. And to drink? How about a Mojito, Cuba Libre, Ginger Latino or refreshing non-alcoholic mocktails? If you’d like to check this venue out for yourself look out for their salsa lessons and comedy nights as well as their exciting menu.
Escudo De Cuba is open seven days a week from midday until midnight. It’s in London’s hippest neighbourhood at 20 Stoke Newington Road, Dalston, N16 7XN, not far from the Hackney Empire, performing arts centre.

Venue
“Escudo de Cuba has everything you can ask for; lively and positive atmosphere, wonderful staff, and excellent service. It made our night. We were all absolutely satisfied and I would highly recommend this restaurant as starting point for a night out.
Undoubtedly 10/10.”

Jordan H
“I was very impressed by the quality of food and the very welcome service from Escudo de Cuba.”
Ella Darling
“There's a certain pedigree to this restaurant, bar and homage to all things Cuba - it's from the guys behind Cuba Libra, the popular Islington spot of similar influence. They've upped sticks and moved the whole shebang to Stoke Newington Road, so expect more of the same - just a little further east.”
