Victor’s Café

Victor’s is a breezy tropical space run by waiters with semi-formal demeanors and pencil mustaches, who politely warn you when you’ve ordered too much food. As for the food, expect things like the house-special roast suckling pig marinated in fresh lime juice and garlic. Well-made mojitos contribute to the mellow, tropical-vacation ambience, exaggerated in the adjacent room, the Cuba Lounge (dark-burgundy upholstery, a portrait of a scowling Roberto Durán), which feels like a cross between a Havana bordello and a place where Hemingway might have enjoyed suffering through a bout of writer’s block.
