Founded by renowned bartender Julio Cabrera, who was born in Cuba, and award-winning chef Michelle Bernstein, who was born and raised in Miami, Café La Trova was designed as a tribute to classic Cuban culture, food, and hospitality.
Since opening in 2019, Café La Trova has earned acclaim as one of the 50 best bars in the world. The restaurant drew additional attention when Bezos and Sánchez were spotted having dinner and drinks there, while enjoying live music, in September 2022.
A year later, the Amazon founder announced he was moving to Miami from Seattle. The Bezoses now live on Indian Creek Island, also known as Miami’s “Billionaire Bunker.”
From the moment I arrived at the restaurant during my visit to the city, it was clear why it has become such a fixture in Miami’s dining scene.
