Description:

  • Havana set a new culinary bar for Bar Harbor's restaurants when it opened in 1999 in what was then a town of fried fish and baked stuffed haddock. The spare, sparkling decor in an old storefront is as classy as anything you'll find in Boston, and the menu could hold its own in any big city, too. Chef/owner Michael Boland says his menu is inspired by Latino fare, which he melds nicely with New American ideas. While the offerings change weekly, expect items like appetizers of monkfish seviche, Cuban-style beef tenderloin-and-pineapple brochettes, or Thai tofu with a plantain crust. Entrees could include choices as adventurous as spicy Chilean black-bean stew, tuna seasoned with guajillo chiles, grilled pork chops rubbed with maple sugar and chiles, and filet mignon rubbed with Cuban coffee and black pepper with a topping of garlic butter and spicy honey. Finish with an equally dazzling dessert such as pistachio-mousse popovers with chocolate Cointreau sauce, a pecan tart sided with cinnamon gelato, or a tres-leches (three-milk) cake.
