Do bare in mind this is not a comprehensive guide. It is a mix of the places which are either dear to my heart, I have a history with, I really enjoy, bring back good memories or I feel an emotional connection to. I don't have the bandwidth to go into every story, but for example, even though it isn't so upmarket, Hotel Bristol reminds me of the exciting times when I had just turned 18 and would pop down the pub with new friends for fries and crazy times. It continues to remain a legacy on Cuba Street and while it may not serve goats cheese croquettes, its a place I still love a little bit. There are many other great places, not included on this list, which are also awesome and YOU might have included. If so, let me know in the comments below what your pick would be! I've limited the list to Lower Cuba St but really it is sort of mid-lower. There are other places around the total end of Cuba St but I just zoned in on the area around the laneways for simplicity.
