La Pata Gorda Coral Gables — this is not just a restaurant, but a true breath of Cuban sunshine in the heart of the elegant Miami district. Here, the flavors of traditional Cuban cuisine come to life in every dish, and the atmosphere transports guests to the cozy streets of Havana, where spices smell, music echoes, and every meal becomes a little celebration.
Everything begins with the menu — generous, vibrant, colorful, like Cuba itself. Here, dishes are prepared according to classic recipes, with each plate embodying not only flavor but also character. Ropa Vieja — tender stewed beef with vegetables and sauce, Lechón Asado — juicy roasted pork with a crispy crust that crunches on the teeth, Tostones — fried plantains that make you want to order them again and again. And, of course, Arroz con Pollo — a dish cooked in Cuban families for generations, here tasting “homemade” but with restaurant elegance.
But La Pata Gorda is not only about meat. The menu features many fresh seafood options — for example, Camarones a la Plancha (grilled shrimp), served with light sauces to enhance rather than overpower the marine flavor. For vegetarians — a different story: the restaurant offers an interesting selection of vegetable and legume-based dishes, which are no less flavorful and impressive than traditional cuisine.
Everything is prepared only from fresh ingredients — that is the principle. No compromises, no artificial components. Everything — like at a real Cuban market: fragrant, bright, lively. That’s why the food here is not just filling but soulful — leaving behind a warm satisfaction.
The atmosphere is another advantage of the establishment. The interior of La Pata Gorda combines Cuban classics with elements of modern comfort: wood, ceramics, subdued lighting, bright accents, open terraces — all to extend the evening and leave lasting impressions. Step out onto the terrace with a cocktail, watch the life of Coral Gables, and savor your favorite dish — the perfect evening in Miami.
Talking about cocktails, it’s worth mentioning the bar menu: Mojito, Cuba Libre, Daiquiri — in every sip, the rhythm of the island, the coolness of sugarcane rum, and the festive mood. Moreover, the restaurant has its own signature mixes that will pleasantly surprise even experienced gourmets.
La Pata Gorda Coral Gables is a place where authentic Cuban cuisine meets style, and every guest becomes part of a small culinary journey. If you’re looking for a place to relax, enjoy good food, and feel that life is a pleasure to be savored slowly, you've found it.
