At Pilar, we aim to capture the essence of Cuban food, serving many traditional dishes, but from a modern, updated approach: we use the best ingredients, and utilize local suppliers as much as possible, make everything from scratch, and strive to find the perfect balance in all our food.Cuban Food, like all Latin American and Hispanic cuisines, has a unique character, with its Spanish roots being its most prevalent feature. Traditional Spanish stews, such as Caldo Gallego and Fabada (both rich bean stews), croquettes, which are sold all over Spain as well as in Miami, and the prevalence of Spanish chorizo in many dishes, all reflect Cuban food’s deep Spanish roots. That combined with the parallel African influences and tropical ingredients (black beans, plantains, corn, yuca) gives Cuban food its distinct taste.
