Casa Matilda: Elegance and Upscale Dining in Miami Beach

The female-owned restaurant blends great steaks with inventive Mexican-inspired dishes.

At times, one needs the type of dining experience that glows with elegance. And, to get this experience, one needs to step into a place that’s unforgettable as well as full of class. When it comes to feeling pampered at a restaurant, the ambiance should feel like it’s not just a place to gather and enjoy great food and drinks with others. It needs to feel magical and as a great escape from the outside world.

Casa Matilda in Miami Beach is that type of place. It’s an environment where visitors will not only find themselves immersed in a gorgeous dining room right out of your favorite fairytale, but they will indulge in some of the best dishes and cocktails that you could ever find in the bustling area of South Beach.

The décor is impressive and modern, mixing in pieces that celebrate Mexican heritage, as well as plush seating and deep lush colors that will envelop you in elegance.

Casa Matilda is a female-owned restaurant, a Mexican steakhouse that blends great steaks with inventive Mexican-inspired dishes. The restaurant is owned by Kathia Joseph, who also owns Matilda’s Taco Bar next door, also a Miami Beach staple offering classic Mexican dishes.

The menu is as unexpected as it is perfect, and it’s a unique one where one can celebrate during the meal with a bottle of expert-selected wine and a multi-course meal. It’s the type of place where you forget it all and immerse yourself in a forest-inspired and glittering hideaway.

The food at Casa Matilda includes mouthwatering Mediterranean flavors and a focus on prime-cut meats. We recommend trying out a few dishes to share with your party; that way, you can explore everything that the restaurant has to offer and leave pleased that you took the culinary journey.

In Casa Matilda, diners will be met with an inspired menu where there’s something offered for every palate, craving and taste. Their signature dishes pair well with the fancy environment, dishes that are presented beautifully and prepared with love.

During our visit, we were impressed with the vast selection of dishes. Their signature dishes feature flavors that have been expertly crafted, and we had the chance to indulge in what was an out-of-this-world dining experience.

During our journey, we began with a signature cocktail from the bar, where expert mixologists mix flavors and spirits with care. Think of spirits such as mezcal, tequila and vodka, all in harmony with distinct ingredients sure to please the pickiest cocktail enthusiasts. The selection of wine and champagne and spirits is extensive, and the knowledgeable and caring staff take their time to make sure you pair the perfect drink from the start to the end of your meal.

This might be a tough feat, being as how their signature tequila cocktails are as refreshing as they are creative. And when it comes to wine, you will come face to face with a selection of over 120 options to pick from, all meant to be enjoyed as you take your time dining in a room that shines with elegant décor and vibrance.

As for the signature dishes, I recommend digging into their Yucatan Style Mexican Ceviche, Duck Carnitas Tacos, Oaxaca Crab EnchiladasPrime Bone in Ribeye, USDA Prime Dry Aged Porterhouse and Grilled Mediterranean Butterfly Branzino. All of them, and many more on the menu, are mouthwatering selections to relish in and enjoy.

Make sure to visit this haven of upscale dining and elegance located in Miami Beach’s South of Fifth neighborhood, a place that perfectly fits in with the stylish feel of the area. You won’t regret it.

Casa Matilda is now open every day for lunchtime from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., dinner time from 5 p.m. to 12 a.m., and cocktails until 2 a.m. from Thursday through Saturday. For more information and to book reservations, visit casamatildasteakhouse.com.
