Nardo’s is a dark, atmospheric place with heavy wooden furniture, that looks like a big old Parisian bistro. It feels like it’s been here for ages but it was only opened in 2002. There are always lots of Cubans in here as the food (Cuban with Spanish slant), is very good, cheap and comes in huge portions. It’s always pretty full, but climb the stairs, sit on one of the chunky old rocking chairs, and you usually get a place with 10 - 15 minutes.
