See all- After Travel Club Meeting lunch at El Ambia Latin RestaurantEl Ambia Cubano Restaurant, Melbourne, FL
Great fresh,authentic cuban food, lovely atmosphere and decoration, outdoor sitting, water view, live music,
Link to Restaurant
El Ambia’s seating is outside, sheltered though its patio may be. Inside, you sit at plain wooden tables or, if you prefer the counter, on conga drums amid décor that is pre-Castro Havana, from the films on the television to the art on the walls.
Lyn Dowling for Florida Today said: The latter includes the uniform coat of Alfredo Hernandez, the heroic pilot who flew a Cuban airliner to freedom years ago. He owns El Ambia, and you have to smile when you enter because the place is just so . . . Cuban. El Ambia really does not have what your white-tablecloths-and-tuxedos-style restaurants — wonderful in their own right — would serve in their dining rooms. It’s what your fled-from-Fidel neighbors would serve at their dinner tables. The menu is exactly what you’d expect: lots of pork, including sandwiches, plus seafood, chicken and beef, fresh seafood and dessert. - Christmas Day Spectacular featuring Disney Springs, Celebration & Gaylord Palms!The Red Ginger Restaurant in Suntree/Viera, Melbourne, FL
