Versailles

You haven't experienced Cuban Miami until you go here. Don't pronounce it like the French. Call it ver-sai-yes. The heartbeat of the city—the place where aging Cuban stage divas, politicos, kids in... read more

Hy-Vong

Tiny and sparse. Fine, French-influenced Vietnamese food made by a lone cook and served by a lone waitress. At its busiest, the wait between appetizer and main course can make you ravenous. But the... read more

Exquisito

No-frills eatery as authentic as any place you'll find in Miami. Waitresses will call you mi amorcito (my little love) and coax you to finish everything on your plate. If you want a hardcore Cuban ... read more

Order a medianoche, or midnight sandwich: ham, roast pork, Swiss cheese, mustard and pickles on a soft, sweet egg bread, just a tad toasted on a sandwich press. This place and its sister Versailles... read more

Great place to watch the Cuban power types roll up in their Benzes. Traditional, from the chorizo and manchego cheese tapas, to the paellas, to the graying gentlemen in suits and Miss Clairoled lad... read more

2B Asian Bistro

An unlikely spot in Miami's predominantly Cuban neighborhood, Little Havana. Fun, funky spot for Thai, Japanese and sushi. Much like an accidental tourist that decided to plant some roots. 2B is on... read more
