Few chefs have elevated the cuisine of their native land to the
pleasurable extreme of Nuevo Latino Master Chef Douglas Rodriguez who is
so comfortable replicating the recipes of his grandmothers he can
transcend the tastes of home to create the tastes of the future! All of
his restaurants have proven to be an evolution from simple rustic fare
to transcendent riffs on the Latin "Cocina" - a place redolent of tender
pork, herbs and garlic that transports the diner to faraway lands.
De Rodriguez Cuba combines traditional Cuban recipes
prepared with confidence and simplicity and then a second tier of the
chef's most inspired recipes from across Central and South America.
Perhaps the most important spot in the beautifully appointed restaurant
is the ceviche tasting bar, the showcase for the kitchen's daily musings
on fresh seafood, tangy lime marinades and a changing variety of peppers
and spices that create truly flavorful and refreshing bites. Start the
meal with a variety of tapas, a potent rum mojito and then explore the
flavorful offerings merely kissed by the grill or roasted low and
slow!
Whether stopping by for lunch, hitting the pool deck
for happy hour or joining with a few of your closest friends and family
for a traditional pig roast, an evening at De Rodriguez Cuba offers a
taste of old Havana! Slip on some stilettos, find a real guayabera and
bring along a cigar to stoke up after dinner by the sea and get ready to
experience the flavors that make Douglas Rodriguez one of the most
influential Latin chefs in the country.
