French Bistro Argentinian Steakhouse is a delicious experience in every way
MIAMI — French Bistro Argentinian Steakhouse may be a mouthful to say, but it's also a delicious experience in every way.
Tucked away in Palmetto Bay, this charming eatery is run by Melina Traituros, a pint-sized bundle of energy and mother of three girls, who often needs a step stool to greet her customers face-to-face.
"We bought the restaurant three years ago and this is like our home," Traituros explained with enthusiasm.
The restaurant's unique concept came from an unexpected source: her daughters.
"When we bought it, my daughters came and told me, 'Mom, we have to say it's Argentinian too because after the World Cup we say come on French Argentina... celebrate it all,'" Traituros said.
Behind the scenes, her husband Christian Ramirez made a bold career change, trading 14 years in aeronautics to return to his true passion for cooking. He's crafted a menu that honors their family's rich heritage, seamlessly blending traditions from France, Argentina, Italy and Uruguay.
For Traituros, the restaurant is more than just a business.
"I love it. I totally love it," she explained. "This is my home and I like to have fun here and meet the clients, who to me are friends."
Return to the South Beach Wine & Food Festival
The couple's success has earned them a spot at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival for the third consecutive year.
"It's lovely. It's party party party. It's more than drinks, more than food. It's an experience," Traituros described.
Their standout dish, the Flank Steak al Malbec, is a testament to their culinary fusion. Cooked for three hours with herbs and vegetables, it's their unique take on beef bourguignon.
"This is a dish my mom used to make at home in my childhood, like a Sunday lunchtime in cold Buenos Aires," Traituros reminisced.
The menu seamlessly transitions from Argentina to France with elegant escargot prepared in a traditional butter, parsley, and garlic sauce. Their octopus chimichurri, served with roasted potatoes and kalamata olives, rounds out the international offerings with a perfectly tender texture and beautiful sear.
You can catch French Bistro Argentinian Steakhouse at the Steak and Whiskey event in the Miami Design District and at Sunday's Grand Tasting Village during the South Beach Wine and Food Festival.

Italy didn't begin its campaign until now, as it was in the UEFA Nations League quarterfinals. It lost on penalty kicks to Germany in that round.

What you need to know about Trump's new travel bans
President Trump is rolling out new travel bans on 12 countries and travel restrictions on 7 countries, citing national security risks. Morning Brief hosts Brad Smith and Madison Mills discuss more about the restrictions and how they fit into the broader immigration crackdown. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Morning Brief here. President Trump is imposing travel bans and restrictions on 19 countries citing national security risks. Here's what you need to know. Citizens from 12 countries, including Afghanistan, Haiti, Iran, Sudan, and Yemen among others will not be allowed into the United States. Additionally, travel to the US by citizens from seven countries including Cuba, Sierra Leone, Venezuela, and others will be partially restricted. The proclamation does call for periodic reviews of the restrictions and the president said the list is quote subject to revision based on whether material improvements are made, end quote. Are there any exceptions to these rules? Yes. Some examples, the restrictions do not apply to lawful permanent US residents, immediate family with certain immigrant visas, adoptions, special immigration visas for US government employees, athletes and coaches traveling for events like the World Cup or the Olympics, and case by case exceptions are also allowed. Why did President Trump create the ban? Well, according to the White House, the restrictions are the latest actions of a broader immigration crackdown. The President, citing a recent attack in Boulder, Colorado saying it underlines certain dangers posed by foreign nationals. Let's take a listen. The recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted, as well as those who come here as temporary visitors and overstay their visas. We don't want them. Are these kinds of policies new for President Trump? No. President Trump imposed travel bans in his first term as President. After a back and forth with the Supreme Court, a ban on citizens from seven nations, five Muslim countries, as well as North Korea and Venezuela was upheld. This ban sparked protests and confusion across airports in the US. President Biden revoked those bans after taking office in 2021. Now, part of the consideration as well, even with the acknowledgement for the video that was played a moment ago here and the video that Trump had posted on social media was that the person in that, the suspect and the terrorist that he was citing here was actually not from any of those countries in this list of the ban as well. Correct. And I think it's incredibly important context for our viewers that this is likely to get a push back from lawmakers across the country due to its lack of constitutionality.

Talking points as England continue World Cup qualifying campaign against Andorra
England continue their World Cup qualifying campaign with an away match against Andorra on Saturday, played in Barcelona. Here, the PA news agency takes a look at the talking points ahead of the game. Destination USA Thomas Tuchel visited the Spanish Grand Prix at the weekend but is taking this match seriously (Bradley Collyer/PA) Victories over Albania and Latvia in Thomas Tuchel's first two games in charge in March set England on the right path to North America next summer and they currently top Group K after two games, though their biggest rivals Serbia are yet to kick-off their campaign. However, a victory over the minnows in Barcelona will put Tuchel's men one step closer to the World Cup ahead of September's toughest game of the group in Serbia. The German is not taking the game lightly, naming his strongest possible squad, including players who are going to the Club World Cup later this month. Brothers in arms Trevoh Chalobah earned his maiden call-up to the senior squad after an impressive season for Chelsea and he has his sights on history. If he is able to get on the pitch against Andorra – or Senegal in next Tuesday's friendly – he will follow in his brother Nathaniel's shoes by representing England, making the Chalobahs the 21st set of brothers to play for England. Only two of them have been post-war, Bobby and Jack Charlton and Phil and Gary Neville, while Trevoh will be hoping his international career lasts longer than the six minutes 54 seconds Nathaniel managed in his one and only appearance in 2018. The heat is on England are already preparing for the extreme temperatures they are expected to face in next summer's World Cup and they have spent the week training in the 27-degree heat of Spain rather than at St George's Park. The players have been doing acclimitisation testing this week, consisting of cycling in sauna-like temperatures, and taking scientific tests on their core body temperature and reaction to heat. They will get some in-game experience of it against Andorra as well, with temperatures expected to be in the mid-20s when the match kicks off on Saturday tea-time. Ivan the great Most people thought Ivan Toney had sacrificed his England career when he made a money-spinning move to Saudia Arabia last summer, but Thomas Tuchel has brought him back into the squad. The striker scored 23 goals in 30 Saudi Pro League appearances for Al-Ahli, helping the side to win the AFC Champions League Elite competition. With Ollie Watkins also back in the squad after injury, captain Harry Kane has some competition in attack. Down Andorra out? England won 5-0 against Andorra last time they met (Nick Potts/PA) This match is not a question of whether England will win, but how many goals will they score. Andorra are well down the FIFA rankings, in 173rd and below Papa New Guinea and St Vincent and the Grenadines, and have only ever won four World Cup qualifiers – two of them against San Marino. England have a healthy record against them, winning all of their six previous meetings to an aggregate of 25-0 and should strengthen that.
