After more than a year dark, Havana Harry\u2019s is coming back to Coral Gables.<\/p>\n
The Cuban comfort-food room at 4612 South LeJeune Road has been a Gables fixture since 1995 \u2014 birthdays, graduations, Sunday lunch, the table you take visiting family because everyone already knows the menu. Centurion Restaurant Group, which has owned it since 2022, is reopening it this fall with a brighter dining room and the same kitchen logic: big plates, approachable prices, the dishes people actually order.<\/p>\n
The room gets a lift \u2014 green leather booths, mosaic tile, greenery, Cuban-inspired art \u2014 without turning into a concept. \u201cOur responsibility was never to reinvent Havana Harry\u2019s,\u201d said Carlos Centurion, founder of Centurion Restaurant Group. \u201cIt was to protect what generations of guests have loved, while building a restaurant that will serve this community for many years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
That group also runs Bulla Gastrobar, Pisco y Nazca, and Beehive Kitchen. Here, the brief was simpler: keep the recipes.<\/p>\n
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner return daily. Expect the usual stack \u2014 tostones, croquetas, Cuban sandwiches \u2014 plus the plates that built the place: ropa vieja, arroz con pollo, lechoncita, and the signature Chicken Vaca Frita, shredded chicken saut\u00e9ed with onions, garlic, and their seasoning blend until it crisps. Mornings are caf\u00e9 con leche, cortadito, colada. Dessert is flan, tres leches, cakes, and the \u201cOverdose\u201d milkshakes.<\/p>\n
Michelin has listed it. Locals have argued over it for three decades. The point of this reopening is that the argument can start again.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t wait to welcome our guests back,\u201d Centurion said. \u201cFamilies have been asking us every week when they can return, and now we are finally ready for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
