  • La Casa is more than just a restaurant; it is the crucible of the Robaina family, from the 91-year-old great grandmother to the latest great grandson and everyone in between. Located on the ground floor of a 1950s modernist house with a well-ventilated outdoor terrace and enclosed air-conditioned room, its menu is dedicated to international fusion. Look for spinach crepe stuffed with chicken jardinière, Galician style octopus and Marinated clams. Thursday night is sushi night and a wonderful Japanese chef presides.
