SOMI has just become SO SPANISH as Barceloneta Mercat\/Bistro has opened in late December just off Sunset Drive at 58 Court (former location of Poblano and Origin).\u00a0 For those who have travelled throughout Spain, the concept will be very familiar \u2013 good people coming together to enjoy good food and drink.\u00a0 With red brick, woods and accent lighting, the space has been transformed into a cozy, familial bistro which transports the guest to another gastronomic culture with the traditional Catalan tradition of \u201cMercat\u201d dining.<\/p>\n

The concept was developed by Manual Suarez-Inclan, who comes from Madrid, Daniela Rezai and Executive Chef Juliana Gonzalez.\u00a0 Daniela and Manual both studied hospitality and culinary arts at the acclaimed Les Roches school in southern Spain.\u00a0 They first opened in South Beach in December 2011, and within the year sought out another location.\u00a0 \u201cSouth Miami is very much about family and neighborhood, and our concept was a perfect fit,\u201d says Daniela.\u00a0 \u201cMany of our customers in South Beach come from this area, so it\u2019s like greeting old friends, and making new ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniela reports that one of her dad\u2019s favorite Spanish proverbs is \u201cThe belly rules the mind.\u201d\u00a0 Guests at Barceloneta will find a superb\u00a0 menu, one in which Chef Juliana has married the traditional with the innovative.\u00a0 Chef Gallo notes that the Bistro Lamb Shank and Rabo de Toro are among the favorities served up; and they also make their own hand-made choriso.<\/p>\n

The \u201cOld World\u201d wine list is an impressive collection of select wines from Spain and France, and for a cocktail in the afternoon or evening, their mixologist has created drinks inspired by many bars in Spain.<\/p>\n

Playful energy and joy permeate the premises, which comes from the passion that the owners bring to the table.<\/p>\n

Open Tuesday through Sunday, 12-12. |\u00a0 5850-B Sunset Drive | 305.665.0020<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
