Café Laurel

Café Laurel is a Miami café blending Parisian style with tropical and Cuban influences. Its everyday menu ranges from breakfast pastries and Cuban sandwich croissants to salads, chicken rice bowls, burgers and steak frites. The café was created by chef Michael Beltran and Ariete Hospitality Group, and its website notes that the space occasionally returns to a more formal French brasserie format for special events. Its current French connection is present but not exclusive.
