"La Fresa Francesa seems designed to trigger core memories for anyone who’s ever been overfed while getting their cheeks pinched in a grandparent's cluttered living room. So, just about every major culture on the Miami pie chart. This is a romantic restaurant filtered through a Hialeah aesthetic, with straightforward French dishes. But La Fresa's location in one of Miami’s most Cuban neighborhoods does peek through in dishes like the pastelito de foie gras and guayaba. There aren’t many restaurants left that appeal to several different generations of Miamians. But here you’ll see abuelas on date night next to two 20-somethings unloading gossip between bites of steak frites—and every one of them is grateful to live in a city where this kind of place just makes sense." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
