Versailles Restaurant THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS CUBAN RESTAURANT℠

Versailles Restaurant, The World’s Most Famous Cuban Restaurant, has been serving tasty Cuban cuisine and culture to the South Florida community and tourists from around the world for four decades. Soon after it opened its doors in 1971, Versailles quickly became the gathering place and unofficial town square for Miami’s Cuban exiles. Today, it remains the unrelenting gauge of the community’s pulse.

Not surprisingly, Versailles is typically the first place politicians visit locally to garner support from the Cuban exile community, and the restaurant is equally a favorite among the media for gathering commentary and footage of the community’s take on social and political issues. It is not uncommon to see local, national and international media set up camp in Versailles’ parking lot, where they’re sure to get a flood of local viewpoints.

La Ventanita "The Window"

 

For years, “La Ventanita” at Versailles has been the go-to hub for conversation within Miami’s Cuban community. Welcome to its online home, where the lively discussions of yesterday’s Cuba, today’s politics and tomorrow’s local events continue in a digital space.

Cuban Coffee at Miami International Airport

Well-known throughout Miami and South Florida for serving authentic Cuban cuisine, both Café Versailles and La Carreta have multiple branches at bustling Miami International Airport. Both use the same coffee blend and brewing methods and each year their six combined ‘café corners’ at the airport serve up more than two million cups of Cuban coffee (or Café Cubano) — an intense shot of espresso brewed with sugar — to help fuel passengers and airport employees alike.

Versailles Restaurant is conveniently located on Southwest 8th Street, in the heart of Miami’s Cuban Community.

Oye Cuban Grill A Great New Addition to PInecrest

Oye Cuban Grill has hit Pinecrest like a breath of fresh air, or should we say Mojito!  The unique OYE Cuban Grill is a relatively inexpensive, quick-service restaurant serving authentic Cuban fare that features Cuban sandwiches and platters as well as Cuban pastries and Desserts.

OYE’s well organized quick-service style restaurant permits customers to order their food selections from the large posted menus and have their orders delivered promptly to their tables from well-trained food runners. Moreover, the distinctive aroma of the Cuban cuisine is ideally suited to promote the authenticity of the freshly prepared food and is a notable and appreciated customer appeal.

The vision of the OYE Cuban Grill was created by the active managing partners – Hector F. Gutierrez, his son, Ian (a recent graduate of George Washington University, and Howard Rodriguez, the first cousin of Hector Sr. Another of Hector’s son, Christopher, is presently attending Catholic University, and upon graduation will also be joining the OYE organization in a management capacity. Their nostalgic Cuban history includes their family’s past, their struggles and successes, their abiding love of the USA, and their siblings inheriting all of the indigenous traits of Cuban Americans now experiencing the American dream.

The business name, OYE, “Organization of Young Entrepreneurs” clearly depicts how the children became American educated and are now establishing a piece of the American dream by developing and managing the first of many planned OYE Cuban Grills.

Inspired by our family’s recipes and tradition of Cuban cuisine. Our vision is to fuse our Cuban food heritage with our passion for the American lifestyle.

Original Cuban Sandwich "Sandwich Cubano"

Photo by JCStrutz

Ingredients

• 1 loaf Cuban bread.
• 1-ounce regular mustard
• 4 dill pickles
• 5 slices boiled ham or Virginia ham
• 2 slices roast pork
• 1 slice imported Swiss cheese.
• 1-ounce butter

Directions

• Cut Cuban bread to desired size, common size is 7 inches.
• Next, slice open the bread down the middle.
• On the topside of the bread spread 1-ounce of mustard, evenly across.
• Then place 4 pickles on top of the mustard.
• You then place 1 slice of Swiss cheese on top of the pickles.
• Slice ham to desired thickness, recommended size is 1 1/2 ounces per slice, the thinner the better. Now fold each slice of ham in half and place evenly on bottom of bread.
• On top of the ham, place slices of roast pork, 1 1/2 ounces per slice.
• You then join both halves of the sandwich.
• You are now ready to grill your Cuban sandwich.

Use a sandwich grill if you have one, a waffle iron if not. Spread butter on top of the bread evenly. Close the grill, smashing the sandwich. Leave the sandwich in the grill until the top of bread turns to a golden brown, and the top is crisp. Approximate time is 4 to 6 minutes. After the sandwich is crispy and the cheese has melted, remove the sandwich carefully and slice it diagonally, from corner to corner. DO NOT USE A MICROWAVE OVEN!

Typically served by itself or with a choice of french fries or fried green plantain chips ("mariquitas").

Cuban Sandwich "Sandwich Cubano" Miami Style

For those of you that enjoyed the Cuban Sandwhich recipe, I am sorry to say that those who wrote it "Three Cuban Guys from Miami" who manage three other websites dedicated to Cuban food and restaurants, had a problem with me posting their recipe on my blog.

 

Not only was I providing links to their sites, not only was I promoting their sites for free, not only was I promoting their two cook books, They still had a problem.

 

As always, we comply with everyone's request, we always provide direct links and full credit to the authors, in this case what can I say, these are just three cuban guys from Miami.  Well, I'm a Cuban guy from Miami and I share.

 

Don't worry, we will get you the best Cuban Sandwich pictures and recipes we can.  There are plenty of recipe sites out there that collaborate and share.

 

Tune in for the next Cuban Sandwich.
