Born in 1926 inside The Watson Hotel, Celia’s Kitchen and Social Bar has always reflected Miami’s vibrant spirit. What began as a tropical hideaway grew richer in 1959 when Cuban newcomers brought their culinary traditions to the city and our kitchen.
Today, it’s a modern gathering spot for craft drinks and Cuban-fusion dishes. From our famous Cuban Sandwich and Empanadas to refreshing mojitos and classic daiquiris, every bite and sip celebrates Miami’s history, flavor, and community.
Start your day with a satisfying breakfast featuring classic favorites and local flavors. Enjoy eggs made your way, omelets, pancakes, Belgian waffles, avocado toast, fresh seasonal fruit, pastries, and Cuban-inspired specialties, paired with freshly brewed coffee, café con leche, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and other morning beverages. Whether you're looking for a hearty breakfast or a light, refreshing start, there's something for every appetite.
Enjoy a flavorful midday meal inspired by Miami’s vibrant culinary culture. Our lunch menu features fresh salads, hearty sandwiches, Cuban classics, handcrafted burgers, and shareable appetizers, alongside favorites like Ropa Vieja, grilled chicken, mahi mahi, and churrasco. Whether you're looking for a light bite or a satisfying lunch, each dish is prepared with fresh ingredients and bold tropical flavors.
As the sun sets, indulge in a dinner experience that blends Caribbean, Cuban, and contemporary flavors. Savor signature entrées including Churrasco a la Brasa, Camarones Enchilados, Grilled Mahi Mahi, and Ropa Vieja, complemented by handcrafted cocktails, fine wines, and premium spirits. Complete your evening with decadent desserts, from Abuela's Caramel Flan to classic cheesecake and house-made sweets, for a memorable taste of Miami.
