Common in the South Florida area, ventanitas are little windows where you can order Cuban coffee, pastries and even cigars on the go. These unique establishments also provide patrons an area to socialize while embracing the local Cuban culture. Two of my favorites are cortaditocoffeehouse and versaillesmiami . Where are your favorite Ventanitas?
Cuando vivía en Venezuela ya escuchaba de lo emblemático que es comer en Versailles si vienes a Miami.
Después de conocer a lulyvalls y conocer la historia del restaurante y de la corporación familiar siento una gran admiración por el abuelo Felipe, la familia Valls y el aporte cultural hispano que han hecho en USA.
Versailles es el restaurante cubano más famoso del mundo y hoy celebró sus 50 aniversario 🎉 y obviamente comí croquetas, medianoche y mariquitas 🤤

May 2022 - The day Brandon officially became a doctor! One of the most rewarding parts of my life and our family’s lives has been watching Brandon become not just a doctor, but an empathetic and sensitive practitioner who truly wants to be in medicine for all the right reasons. He is the most patient and thorough person I’ve ever met, and his biggest critique he received throughout medical school was that he “spent too much time with patients” because when they were talkative, he would always listen. Sometimes when people are in the hospital, someone listening to them can change their entire day. Brandon is a bright spot for so many people who are in a tough place.
His journey wouldn’t be possible without the love and support of his incredible parents and family who sacrificed anything and everything they could to help him succeed. He was the first in his family to go to college, and he overcame many barriers with their selfless support. My parents have also been such an important part of his college and medical school years. We couldn’t have done it without them either. Something as major as a medical degree takes a community effort, and we are so grateful for everyone who has been there for Brandon over the years.
When we first started dating and I was in high school, he talked about where he wanted to go to medical school from our first date. This has been such a long road (and still not over - 4 more years of residency!), but I wouldn’t give it up for anything because I know the world needs him in this role. We need people like him, who are good listeners and empathetic humans to keep bringing the “care” part to the forefront of healthcare.

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝟱𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗱𝗮𝘆 - 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 • 𝗠𝗜𝗔 | Fúfu con Masitas (de cerdo) 🇨🇺 When I landed in Miami six months ago, top on my list was finally going to the venerable versaillesmiami I know that many have strong opinions about where the best Cuban food is served in Dade County but as a person interested in the story of food, it seems only respectful to make that pilgrimage.
The Fúfu, smashed green plantain, as a component of this dish points to the culinary influence of West Africa that migrated with the slave trade. Cuban fúfu is more seasoned with garlic and firmer in texture than its West African originals that are intentionally “plainer” to be vehicle for stews. (Please flick back to my posts from February 20, 2021 and October 26, 2018). Also, only in Cuba did the dish keep its West African name whereas it is known as mofongo in the Dominican Republic.
Quite recently, I learned the word “masitas” aka chunks from studying menus and surmise that the default meat is pork. This pork is seasoned and crunchy, which is a nice foil to the softer fúfu texture. Pictured here is the appetizer portion.
As a language learner, I noticed the placement of the accent mark, which is different from many accented Spanish words where the stress is on the last symbol. Does this mean that FOO-foo is the intonation that came from Westerm Africa whereas I would pronounce it as foo-foo without any stress indication as written in English. If anyone knows, please leave in the comments below. Many thanks in advance.
Update: Betty’s comment below makes sense to me and consistent to what I learned through the years. I am guessing that I saw a typo.
Who`s needing a mid-week pick-me-up? I know I am! And a Cuban coffee from versaillesmiami will definitely do the trick!
•
Seriously this little cup packs a punch - a little will do the trick! (Swipe to see how much is in my little cup.). But this morning I`m already thinking a double might be in order. ☕️x2

If you find yourself in Miami, you gotta try the famous Cafe Versailles - they have amazing Cuban sandwiches, pastries and cuban coffee. Now if only I was back in Miami...🌴

Alex + George (aka: mr.eats305 )
This is another beautiful couple I have had the honor to document and get to know! So sweet! So loving! So kind! And so much fun! So much so that the rain could not stop us! Originally they wanted a colorful, fun and location hopping photos throughout Little Havana BUT the rain had other plans 🤣 and I’m not complaining!
Sadly, as much as I would have LOVED to capture their wedding and shared their story with you through my images, I was already booked. 😭 Nonetheless we got to share this time together and it went AMAZING!
If you have your eyes set in a specific photographer, book them as soon as you know! Dates fly and hearts will be broken!
Be on the look out for more cute scenes from Alex and George’s engagement session!

A sad day in Cuban Miami history. Posted withrepost • 305ssom Posted withrepost • willychirino Hoy recibimos la triste noticia del fallecimiento de Felipe Valls, Un gran cubano que con su capacidad de trabajo y su astucia para los negocios, nos dió El Restaurante Versailles, La Carreta y otros que se convirtieron en el lugar favorito para el exilio cubano salir para manifestarse en cualquier ocasión. Siempre amable y listo para ayudar en las causas a favor de la libertad de nuestra patria. Mis condolencias para su familia y sus seres queridos…Descansa en paz amigo.🇨🇺🇺🇸❤️😢

Possibly the best coffee I’ve ever had, at maybe the best bakery even. The food of Miami was seriously such a treat 🤤
These were my faves & ones I’d recommend! Be sure to save this for later! 📌
☕️ Versailles Bakery: Cafecito, cafe con leche, y Cafe La Carreta (their own premium espresso). Also enjoy croquetas, pastelitos, y empanadas.
🍕For some authentic Italian (at least, the family sure seems authentic, I’ll see more on the pizza this fall!), try La Leggenda Pizzeria along Española Way. We had the Margherita of course, as well as the Salame & Bell Peppers, two of their award winning pizzas — and we see why they won awards!🥇
🌮 Pink Taco: hopefully coming soon to Vegas, or so we were told! Go during happy hour! 💖
🍦Azucar: Abuela Maria was my fave flavor, but they have SO many to choose from
⛓️ Ball & Chain: bar right next to Azucar! Delicious drinks, good vibes, and great to see Calle Ocho.
🫔 La Industria: inside Bayside Marketplace, this place had delicious empanadas! Caught them as they were closing, but it was delicious.
🦜 Margaritaville: Whether you love it, or love to hate it, Florida sure has you covered here. This was our first ever time at one, and you might just find me and javronan at the next one down the list!
What did we miss that we need to go back and try? 😋

Pairing oxtail and skirt steak from Versailles with a bottle of Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon 2020.
The Austin Hope is a classic Cabernet from Paso Robles. Young but very approachable.
PodoBelly: 9/10
Versailles is a famous Miami establishment for Cuban cuisine. The food is comforting and the service was terrific.
