James Beard award-winning chef Michelle Bernstein, 49, has been one of Miami’s foremost chefs for almost two decades, as well as a staple on foodie TV. After opening a raft of lauded restaurants, including Michy’s, a pioneering spot on then-desolate Biscayne Boulevard, she’s just opened her newest, Café La Trova. It’s on Calle Ocho and is decorated with a winking nod to the 1980s. (Check out the bar in back.) The menu features updated Cuban classics, plus Bernstein’s signature bread pudding; even better, the drinks program is run by her longtime associate, Julio Cabrera, whose cantineros make classic daiquiris, mojitos, and grenadine-spiked presidente cocktails.
