Welcome to Ola in Miami Beach
Chef Rodriguez is famous and said to be the one that has put Latin American food “on the Table”. Click on his name to see some recipies.
I was very anxious to go there and taste the Food, as Ingelin had told me a dinner there is a must when in SOBE’s Art Deco District.
As we arrived early in Miami Beach to be, there were no need to reserve a Table (for normal dinner time, you should).
We were met at the entrance by a Swedish, charming lady, Annika. Table for 2 was waiting for us. Lovely atmosphere. Latin American music (I love it). And a tropical back yard. What more could a Norse wish.
They wished us welcome even from a busy Kitchen
Nor Ingelin or Papa are big eaters, so we went for mojitos. Many different tastes. Artistic presented and heavenly tasty. Served quickly. Recommended by us. World travellers as we are. LOL.
Here is some of our mojitos:
Oysters Rodriguez
lightly fried, served over fufu and creamy horseradish spinach, served w/ huacatay sauce
Foie Gras & Fig Empanada
anise empanada dough, foie gras, almond fig cake over watercress salad, duck serrano & black trumpet vinaigrette.
Food for papa
this was very good, but what was it? Chevre.
Mystery Meat Balls
with callampa mushroom sauce.It’s a secret…just trust us
heavenly - the name of this mojito? Go and ask. haha
resh diced tuna, crispy shallots, diced jalapeno, paprika, lemon oil, roasted garlic & ginger aioli
Caviar Arepa
colombian style yellow corncake served w/ crema nata, quail eggs & ossetra caviar 18 (w/1oz caviar 25)
We went out and felt very well. And extremely comfortable feed.
Then it was Party Time in Miami.

Very lovely, TorAa. I thought you could only drink mojitos...see: I learn something every day!
Very interesting cuisine, great shots, happy Papa and daughter!
Wonderful! I love trying new foods and I tried many on our trip too.
So you had an gastronomic sensation too then - like we had in Brussels last weekend. Your report and all the pictures makes me feel hungry again LoL
Oh - what a wonderful evening. And all of the photos to boot! Gee I never take photos inside.. You beat me..
Oh boy, seems like you always have fun!
My mouth is watering, sluurrrp!
Oh, my! It's almost a CRIME to show me the photos... and the menu!!!!!!
Hand me a BIG towel, for all the drooling....
Half the pleasure is for the eyes!
Fortunately it is very early 5.30.( I am like all old people, they use to get up with the chickens especially when they are retired and don't HAVE to get up ) and I am never hungry in the morning. Otherwise .... looks so good ! So you are almost ready for your silver honeymooon, very nice destination !!
I have a question how many children do you have exactly ? I know Ingelin but didn't know that you have a son too. Or must have missed it. I only ask the number of the official once !
We spent Christmas in Amsterdam this year at my son's. I am not so keen to go would have prefered to celebrate here. If it would have been London where we used to go for Christmas many times !! These Christmases were the bests I ever had since my son is an adult. And all the friends over there. But Amsterdam at Christmas ?? They are not big Christmas celebrators and I doubt very much that there is a lot of decoration in the city, that costs too much. They are v e r y "economic" (stingy) ! and then this dutch girl friend who doesn't even say thank you when you offer her something ... Her friends are completely different why didn't he choose one of them ?? And the former girlfriend was a darling ! Sigh !
Hey Tor! Looks like y'all are still having a blast! Everything looks excellent ~ YUM! :-D
Yummi- foie gras empanada is my favourite of the appetizers!Best in the world!Thanks for a lovely evening!See you soon in Argentina!Det blir så kos!Klem Ingelin
Je ne connais absolument pas la cuisine sud américaine! Mais cela semble très appétissant! Je viens de "m'enfiler" un super POT AU FEU que Pierre a commencé cet après midi! Donc je suis pleine comme une ... truie, disons!!! J'en ai encore l'eau à la bouche! Les photos sont très belles!
You are quite the partier, Tor! I just know Ingelin is very proud of you! :)
This looks like someplace I would enjoy. What a culinary adventure with your sweet Ingelin!
