Creating a fusion of Asian-inspired tapas with a
distinct emphasis on pork, three enterprising Latin
restaurateurs have opened a chain of cafes in the shadow
of Carlos Zapata's behemoth Publix supermarket on the
western edge of the South Beach warehouse district.
Serving updated gastropub fare like housemade pate,
sausages and porkbelly, the trio hope to provide a
unique dining experience in a cool tavern-style
atmosphere.
Admittedly not for the slight of
appetite nor the dedicated vegan, Pubbelly's kitchen is
a veritable laboratory of pork recipes with the house
signature McBelly slider sandwich taking pride of place
on a menu that includes bacon-wrapped dates, roast
suckling pig, baby back ribs, pork belly dumplings, pork
confit udon and vegetable side dishes of pork mofongo or
bacon miso brussels sprouts!
Upscale hop-heads will thrill to the
extensive craft brew menu which features a full roster
of international beers from wheaty German Hopf Helle
Weize to Belgian Delirium Tremens and Japanese Hitachino
Classic. A brief sake cocktail menu compliments the
Asian street food selections and a well-edited sampling
of boutique wines pairs perfectly with the gastro fare.
Serving every night until midnight with an extra hour
Fridays and Saturdays, Pubbelly makes a great late night
date spot for adventurous foodies and budding oenophiles
seeking a little extra swine with their wine.
