Seafood rice with octopus in a blue cast-iron pot at CAYA House, Palm Beach

The menu draws on ten Latin and Caribbean food traditions. Local catch comes with Creole sauce and tostones. Colombian-style seafood rice arrives with octopus, and tuna sashimi is dressed in a tamarind leche de tigre.

Heartier plates include pan-fried duck breast over green herb rice and braised lamb shank with Caribbean polenta. For dessert, the tres leches comes with passion fruit.

The garden setting and a broad menu make it an easy choice for a family dinner. Live music plays on select evenings. Send your date, preferred time and party size, and we confirm the table by email once it is booked. The meal itself is paid at the restaurant.
