Restaurant Name: Mojito, food & drink

In July 2007 a new restaurant opened its doors. It's a Caribbean restaurant where you can go for a drink, lunch or dinner. There is a variety in different types of tables, seats and chairs, all in bright colours. From the outside you don't have the slightest idea what to find inside, so we were very surprised to find this wonderful ambiance in the middle of the modern part of the citycentre.

We liked the Cuban music that is played, like the Buena Vista Social Club. They have the real Cuban Havana Club rum (the dark 7 years old) and cigars from Nicaragua. The bar is open till 2am. In the next future there will be live salsa music. For the kids there is a nice playing ground. It's also possible to have cooking lessons.

Favorite Dish: The soups and salads for lunch look delicious. For dinner I had shrimps Caribbean style. There are also good looking vegetarian dishes.
