Birthday dinner done right 🎂🔥 We celebrated at Emelina in West Palm Beach's Flamingo Park District — the FIRST Cuban restaurant in the world to earn a Michelin star, and one of the fastest restaurants ever to do it (just four months after opening 🤯).
Husband-and-wife chefs Osmel González and Camila Salazar aren't recreating classic Cuban food — they're reimagining it. Their question: what could Cuban cuisine have become with total creative freedom — no borders, no limits, no scarcity? The answer is Cuban flavor built with fine dining technique and ingredients from all over the world. Cuba, unrestricted, on a plate.
Every course told a story. Every bite was intentional. Worth every single penny for a birthday I won't forget. 🇨🇺✨
If you love food with this much soul and history, this is exactly the kind of spot we love spotlighting on our tours. Come taste the story of West Palm Beach with us.
