One night in Miami, we headed to dinner at Michy’s, a French-Cuban restaurant run by Michelle Bernstein of Top Chef fame. (”Everyone thinks I’m the mean judge,” she laughs, but, I swear, she’s sweet as pie in person.) The genius of Michy’s menu is that everything (both appetizers and entrees) come in both full and half sizes, so you can order a bunch of dishes to sample. Here’s what we tried…
First up, we ordered the Bibb lettuce salad with crispy shallots, avocado, tomatoes, jack cheese and Serrano chile ranch dressing. Such a bright mix of flavors and textures!
Then we sampled the braised Alaskan cod with argentine chorizo, tomato broth and petite gnocchi. Warm and fragrant, each bite was a pleasant surprise.
And finally, we had the seared salmon with fried artichokes on top of farro, cipollini onions and lemony saffron nage. This hearty dish was my favorite (I’m a sucker for anything with lemon). Thank you, Chef Bernstein!
(P.S. Look how amazing the menu is.)
