In the heart of Miami’s Little Havana, you find Café la Trova. A feeling of Cuba’s bygone years permeate the air.
The cafe is lead by world renown Cantinero Julio Cabrera and his team bring artisanal,handcrafted cocktails to life and James Beard Award Winning Chef Michelle Bernstein and her team bringing Cuban-styled dishes forth to savor. While there you also enjoy live music played by Trova musicians. Loved the feel!
I enjoyed two drinks. The first was a Cantinero’s choice. Just the right amount of tart and sweet! The other was a traditional red sangria.
For starters, we ordered the jamón serrano Croquetas with melted cheese and fig jam and the Maine lobster Croquetas with saffron aioli. They had the perfect consistency of béchamel sauce and were fabulous! I can’t say the same for the ceviche.
We ordered two main courses. We asked our server for recommendations. He proffered the Ropa Vieja. While I am not a fan of Ropa Vieja, I thought this one was delicious. Made from the skirt steak (churrasco) accompanied with white rice, black beans, tostones and avocado cream.
Our next selection was the traditional Cuban Lechon. A braised mojo marinated pork shoulder with steamed yuca, crispy pork skin, mojo and pickled onions. I was told it was fabulous.
Just an overall great feel! Love the vibe of the main bar area and the live music by the Trova players. #cafelatrovamiami #cubannostalgia #cantineros #trova #nostalgia #greatevening #makingmemories
