Calle Dão is designed to pay homage to Havana’s once-thriving El Barrio Chino (Chinatown).

 Known as the largest such community in Latin America, El Barrio Chino occupied 44 square blocks of real estate in the late 1870s. As the Cuban and Chinese cultures mixed, a unique fusion of cuisine emerged. Today, El Barrio Chino occupies a small section of the narrow Calle Cuchillo – Knife Street - from which Calle Dão takes its name.

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. 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.
