Opening a café/bar/restaurant is rarely newsworthy in itself. Aside from social media competitions and voucher deals, it can be difficult for traders to promote themselves even when they have the holy grail USP.

So I was impressed to see photos appear of Belfast’s latest eatery Café Havana which managed to attract the Cuban Ambassador to Ireland, Teresita Trujillo, for a visit from Dublin.

I’m not sure if PROs were responsible, or if this gem of an idea was orchestrated by the owners, but it’s nice to see a local business find their unique selling point and take it to the next level in order to get people talking about them.
