La Bodeguita Cubana

La Bodeguita Cubana is a Cuban restaurant located at 44 rue de Cuire in the Croix-Rousse district of Lyon, France, near the Mur des Canuts and the Hénon metro station. It is run by Hugo and Aliucha Aguilera, who welcome guests into what the restaurant describes as a genuine Cuban eatery, or "restaurante cubano de verdad." The venue occupies two large dining rooms decorated with wood and Cuban craft objects, creating a warm atmosphere accompanied by Cuban son and bolero music. The menu features Cuban and Caribbean specialties such as tapas, mojitos, cerveza y picadillo a la habanera, gambas, cochinillo al horno (roast suckling pig) and feijoada, along with set restaurant menus. The restaurant positions itself as a place of escape and vacation-like warmth in Lyon, with salsa "dancing in the kitchen" and a convivial, family-style approach to food. La Bodeguita Cubana operates as a private, independent business rather than part of a chain or listed group. Its website, bodeguitacubana.fr, provides information on reservations, menus, events and directions, and carries a copyright notice dated 2012. The restaurant is active and remains a local dining destination in the Croix-Rousse "village" quarter.
