Description

Step into Qubana and feel the warmth of Havana-meets-Yorkshire: bold flavours, generous plates and an interior with real character. Housed in a striking former bank, Qubana mixes Spanish and Cuban influences—tapas, hearty sandwiches and imaginative cocktails—served in a space of high ceilings, glowing lights and a rooftop for balmy evenings. The menu balances affordable lunchtime specials with shareable plates for a lively night out; friendly staff can tailor portions for groups or relaxed two-person meals. Come for the flavour, stay for the atmosphere—Qubana turns ordinary dining into a small celebration.

The quality and service of food are very good, however the price is a bit higher.

Friendly happy service, lovely surroundings, great use of historic building. Open kitchen. Good variety of dishes on tapas menu. Curried goat was lovely, very tender and tastey. Why not a 5 across the board? 1 Tried at 8.15 to book table by phone to be told none available and last orders 9pm, found plenty available online up to 10pm, and booked for 8.45. Were plenty of tables on arrival and walk ins were seated after 9.30. Took quite a while for someone to greet on arrival, despite two staf

Party of 6 adults 1 child. We were looked after very well by the lovely staff and the tapas dishes we chose were plentiful tasty. Why only 4 stars overall then? I have an almost pathological hatred of being ripped off over the drinks in British restaurants! £7.10 for 175 ml wine, £3.40 pint of coke, £3 small bottle ginger beer. Anyway we'll probably go back again for the food but avoid the drinks other than water!! Sorry to mention this but otherwise happy.

Came here today for lunch and the place was packed, and we were warned that we might have to wait 15-20 minutes for our order to be taken. That was fine and we were seated and ordered drinks. Me and the other half both chose the lunchtime special of a sandwich, chips and a drink. We both upgraded our sandwiches and chips so it worked out at £6.50 each, which we both thought was an absolute bargain because of the quality of the meal! I went for the Philly steak and chunky chips, my steak was cooked exactly to my liking and tasted fabulous! My other half had slow cooked pork and ham with a really nice sauce on, and he was reluctant to share any with me! ; will be going again on payday :D

Qubana is lively and energetic, with music and animated crowds; it’s a fun, social environment rather than a quiet, intimate venue.

Yes — there are bar stools, comfortable booths and larger tables across upstairs and downstairs levels to suit different party sizes.

More information

If you’re unsure how much to order, the floor staff are used to tailoring portions for groups — many guests are advised to choose just a few tapas per person and are pleasantly surprised by how filling the plates are. Also, if a dish seems oddly cold, ask: some items are occasionally served cooler by design or due to timing, and kitchen staff will often correct it quickly.
