Chef Michelle Bernstein's La Cañita expands to Kendall
Award-winning Miami chef Michelle Bernstein is heading to Kendall next month.
Driving the news: Bernstein's restaurant La Cañita, which has a smaller space in Bayside Marketplace, is expanding to the Palms of Town & Country.
State of plate: The menu will feature Latin and Caribbean cuisine, like croquetas, empanadas, oxtail lasagna and locally caught snapper with ginger mojo de ajo.
The craft cocktail menu includes a classic Mojito made with four year Flor de Caña, the Presidente with housemade grenadine and the Brownie Old Fashioned, with Rye, Strega, brownie port and house bitters.
The vibe: An "island-kissed rum distillery" with an outdoor patio and live music.
What they're saying: La Cañita co-owner David Martinez, who has partnered with Bernstein on Miami staples like Cafe La Trova and Sweet Liberty, said the restaurant is a "labor of love."
"Our goal was always to give our guests an exciting, fun experience that was reasonably priced without compromising flavor, quality or ambiance."
