About Cafe La Trova

Cafe La Trova is a James Beard Award-nominated Cuban restaurant and cocktail bar on Calle Ocho in Little Havana, helmed by celebrated chef Michelle Bernstein and legendary Cuban cantinero Julio Cabrera. The concept pays homage to the classic Cuban cocktail bars of 1950s Havana, blending vintage glamour with modern Miami energy. The front bar serves expertly crafted daiquiris, mojitos, and original cocktails alongside Cuban bar bites, while the back dining room offers elevated Cuban dishes like vaca frita, croquetas de jamon, and whole fried snapper. Live music and entertainment add to the vibrant atmosphere, with trova musicians performing nightly. The stunning art deco interior, complete with checkered floors and vintage decor, transports guests to another era. Cafe La Trova is where Miami's Cuban heritage meets world-class mixology and cuisine.
