Nothing says refreshment on a sweat-stained Miami afternoon like a long, cool glass of
fruit smoothie at this popular juice and veggie stand - try the sugarcane juice for
something particularly sweet and bracing. The produce is pretty fresh and flavorful too.

If you've never had a
frita
(Cuban-style burger) make your peace with McDonald's and
come down to El Rey with the lawyers, developers, construction workers and every other
slice of Miami's Latin life. These
fritas
are big, juicy and served under a mountain of
shoestring fries. Plus, the
batidos
(Latin American milkshakes) definitely bring the boys to
the yard.
Versailles
CUBAN
Versailles (ver-
sigh
-yay) is an institution, one of the mainstays of Miami's Cuban gastro-
nomic scene. Try the ground beef in a gratin sauce or chicken breast cooked in creamy
garlic sauce. Older Cubans and Miami's Latin political elite still love coming here, so
you've got a real chance to rub elbows with a who's who of Miami's most prominent Latin
citizens.

At the risk of engaging in hyperbole, we can't imagine a better way of starting the day than
a garlic bagel at this little deli. Breakfast (bagels and more traditional eggs, meat and pota-
toes) is the way to go; you'll be hard pressed to spend double digits, and you'll leave satis-
fied.
