He is a man who is passionate about gastronomy and is a one-of-a-kind talent and character. This is not fine-dining, it is a family restaurant so the service may misstep sometimes, but they are very attentive, earnest, warm and friendly.
The food is so good and the place is so charming and sophisticated you may overeach in your expectations. I won't waste time explaining what I had - I have tried everything and everything is absolutely delicious. From the first bite of the bread the server places on the table you know right away that Armando will be leading this dance. He is not subtle with his favors, but he is extremely deft. Chef Armando walks the razor's edge of seasoning on every layer of every dish, and always lives to tell the tale. I think by this point I have tasted everything on the menu and he knocks everything out of the park. The chef is Cuban and he has retained a number of Cuban classics on the menu and certainly Cuban cuisine informs everything he cooks. I would classify the menu as being very Spanish centric and the wine list likewise Spanish. When you enter, the space has the warm, familiar and simple sophistication of a true European bistro or trattoria. I almost prefer this because it keeps out the riff-raff for whom this sort of thing would be problematic. Let's start with the location, it is in an unassuming strip mall next to a check-cashing convenience. I wrote a stellar review after my first one-of-a-kind visit years back and since its been so long and the place has changed in many ways, I thought it was time for a new review. Past patrons call this staple South Florida eatery timeless, saying the ice cream is worth both the money and the wait.I am from the Northeast and I have been coming to Candela for 6 years, usually once a year during my annual trip to South Florida.
