Little Havana Restaurant |
|
(Restaurants - Cuban) |

|

Distance:
~4.85 mi * |

Description:
NORTH MIAMI. While the rather mundane decor probably doesn't earn this neighborhood treasure a second glance from most tourists, locals know that the kitchen at Little Havana serves up some of the most delicious and reasonably priced eats around. Traditional Cuban fare is the specialty, and menu favorites include the likes of fried pork chunks, lamb, chicken croquettes, and lobster – all of them served with healthy portions of black beans and rice, plantains, and yucca on the side. Of course, a perfect accompaniment to any meal here is their potently famous sangria, which can always put you in that Havana frame of mind. Reservations are not accepted, so it's best to arrive early if you don't want to wait for a table. |

Description:
SOUTH BEACH. This restaurant is a bit classier and more elegant than most Cuban favorites, with uncluttered decor and original Cuban tiles on the floor. If fact, YUCA stands for Young Upscale Cuban Americans, so there's no question about the demographic the restaurant seeks to attract. Clearly not aimed at traditionalists, the menu features innovative dishes that center around traditional Cuban ingredients, such as yucca stuffed with picadillo of wild mushrooms, served on a bed of sautéed spinach with beef and carrot vinaigrette. The chef skillfully blends Cuban and Italian cuisine with the sun-dried tomato and basil gnocchi, served with veal picadillo inside a basket made of yucca shoestring fries, the whole mixture topped with tangy Tetilla cheese. The bar upstairs draws crowds with live music. |

David's Cafe |

Description:
SOUTH BEACH. The simple ambience at David's ranges from the minimal yet colorful dining room to the bright, cheerful cafeteria counter, which draws throngs of hungry folks at lunchtime. Area business people and Cuban-native regulars sit side-by-side enjoying bracing cafe Cubano and plenty of delicious, spicy-fresh cuisine. Try the chicken in garlic sauce with white wine and herbs, or the fabulous Cuban sandwich, dubbed by regulars as the Cuban Big Mac, which features pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard. Croquettes are a popular choice at lunch – one bite of the thick sandwiches, pressed between slabs of flaky Cuban bread, and you'll know why. No reservations. |

Description:
SOUTH BEACH. Luxurious Mark's greets guests with rich mahogany furnishings, linen wallpaper and finely upholstered seating. Then they're treated to chef Mark Militello's New World fusion cuisine, which capitalizes on South Florida's excellent seafood and tosses in a dash of Caribbean spice. His creations range from Chilean sea bass with fresh white sardines to yellowtail snapper with couscous and shellfish. Perfect for an intimate rendezvous or a business dinner. Great bar, too. |

Larios on the Beach |

|

Description:
SOUTH BEACH. This is Cuban done South Beach-style – that means with glitz, bright color, and ultra-chic decor. Young Cuban-Americans and trendy folks of all colors, creeds, and ages make this restaurant a mob scene on weekends. If you want to commune with the elbow-to-elbow crowds, Friday and Saturday are ideal. But if you want to dine on Cuban specialties in relative peace, come earlier in the week. The beans and rice is flavorful and hearty, as are the roasted chicken and the Palomilla steak. The prices are a bit higher than at many Cuban eateries, but the party crowd says the ambience and hip clientele are worth every penny. Reservations recommended. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. For Cuban cuisine set to a pop beat, don't miss this cafe owned by singer Gloria Estefan and husband Emilio. Vivid colors, Latin beats, and plenty of bongos (of course!) get you in a festive mood, and the authentic Cuban cuisine is served with creative aplomb. Come early to enjoy a satisfying meal of roasted chicken marinated in orange and lime or the traditional Cuban strip steak. Wash it down with an exotic tropical drink, and then prepare to hit the dance floor, which starts hopping around 11pm. This is a great place to make a night of it. Reservations recommended. |

Description:
LITTLE HAVANA. The name and decor may be French, but Versailles's cooking is Cuban all the way. Patrons swoon over deliciously authentic food and the dining room's opulence, complete with candelabras, gilt-framed mirrors and tuxedo-clad waiters. Still, everything's not as upscale as it sounds – the vibe is relaxed and dishes are happily affordable. Ropa vieja, made with zesty shredded beef, is a fine introduction to the bold cuisine, and arroz con pollo may forever change your opinion of chicken and rice. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. Little Havana is crowded with great ethnic eateries, and this Spanish favorite is one of the best. The authentic décor, including colorful paintings, Spanish singers and flamenco dancing, transports you to foreign shores. The taverna-style ambience is backed up by traditional Spanish cuisine, including great tapas (try the fine manchego cheese and the garlic-sautéed shrimp), tasty paella and a broad range of filling tortillas. The well-stocked wine cellar offers the best vintages Spain has to offer. |
