Acclaimed Chef Michelle Bernstein has returned to Miami with Cafe La Trova, a restaurant and cocktail bar that's a celebration of Cuban culture from the 1950’s. Known for her fresh, flavorful, Latin-inspired cooking Bernstein is dishing up authentic Cuban dishes - in her own signature style (think paella croqueta and beef empanadas) - washed down by classic cocktails prepared by Cantinero-Bartender Julio Cabrera.
