Café La Trova

Get ready to dive into the vibrant heart of Miami's Little Havana, where rhythm, flavor, and flair collide at a spot that's as much a celebration as it is a bar. Here, Cuban culture isn't just on display—it's alive and kicking every night. Imagine stepping into an energetic fiesta where the drinks are as lively as the music, with every cocktail telling a story. The atmosphere is electric, thanks to a house Son Cubano band that lights up the room with traditional tunes, while DJs keep the beats fresh on weekends.

Behind the bar, the legendary Julio Cabrera brings his Cuban bartending expertise to life with a menu that dances between classics like daiquiris and inventive creations like the El Guayabero—a tantalizing mix of reposado tequila, guava marmalade, cayenne-agave syrup, and lime. Meanwhile, James Beard-award-winning chef Michelle Bernstein crafts a dining experience with dishes that transport you straight to Cuba. Think juicy mojo-marinated lechon and crispy whole boneless snapper, each bite an explosion of authentic flavors.
