From May 25 through June 5, Havana bar and grilll will play host to renowned Latin/Caribbean chef, Mitchel Ramos and featuring his own tasting menu based on his favourite dishes. Mitchel Ramos from Puerto Rico - the Island Nation of Puerto Rico is most at home with the flavours of the Caribbean.  According to Ramos, “Caribbean food is first and foremost simple in nature with explosive flavours”.

Latin/Caribbean cuisine always known for not having the finesse in techniques or presentation, Mitchel is going to take a different approach to the cuisine based on the roots of Latin Caribbean cuisine after all the culinary experience and knowledge that he attained from different countries.

Mitchel Ramos began his culinary journey at the age of five while living at home in the island nation of Puerto Rico with his parents.  While he was in his teenage, he was able to guide and teach by a number of celebrity chefs to expose himself to both traditional Puertorrican Creole cuisine and Caribbean cuisine ranging from Cuba as far as Barbados cuisine and regional dishes and also European cuisine. 

Soon after decided that it would be time to leave the Puerto Rico for the United States in order to broaden his knowledge and skills, he went to Rhode Island to refine his understanding, passion and development of his New England contemporary cuisine. 

Short after decided that his next stops in his culinary journey of learning was New York City and Florida in which he learned the real beauty of classic, elegant yet relevant contemporary approach.  Throughout his stay, he got lots of opportunity to work alongside with a number of celebrity & award winner Chefs such as Chef Daniel Boulud and interne with chef Yamaguchi - long time friend of Chef Nobu to learn traditional Japanese sushi technique.
