24 DECEMBER 1-7, 2022 miaminewtimes.com | browardpalmbeach.com NEW TIMES | MUSIC | CAFE | CULTURE | NIGHT+DAY | NEWS | LETTERS | CONTENTS | The newly reimagined CocoWalk, an open-air lifestyle center an- choring Coconut Grove’s commer- cial district is the perfect location for Narbona Restaurant & Farm Market, a family-owned Uruguayan leading company founded in 1909. A few miles away from the colonial town of Carmelo, Uru- guay, are the lands that bear fruit to Narbona’s Winery and Farm, where technology, experience and tradition are combined to produce boutique wines and other unique products such as cheese, yogurt, olive oil and pasta. Narbona Restaurant & Farm Market opened its first location in Key Biscayne in early 2021, and it has been ramping up its expansion through Florida in the search to combine organic ingredients from its farms and to offer a unique farm-to-table culi- nary experience and retail section where local customers can pur- chase their farm-raised products to enjoy at home. Situated on the ground-floor of CocoWalk, the 8,253-square-foot specialty market and eatery is then Narbona’s second location in Florida, and opened in August 2022 featuring a butcher shop, a gelateria, a dry pasta shop, a bakery and curated retail market with a wide selection of gour- met cheeses, craft beers, wines, and coffees. The almost 200-seat café has an expansive indoor and outdoor dining area, where guests can enjoy breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner and sip on handcrafted cocktails. Patrons seeking a more intimate setting can host group dinners and events in Narbona’s private room. A haven for enophiles and cheese lovers, the epicurean market also hosts a variety of tastings, in which guests can indulge and sample different wines, coffees, specialty cheeses and gelato. “Although our dream be- gan in Uruguay, we were thrilled to open in the heart of Coconut Grove because it’s an established neigh- borhood that places great em- phasis on a healthy and organic lifestyle, which perfectly aligns with the freshly grown produce and high-quality, specialty foods we serve,” said Jerónimo Canton, owner of Narbona.“ Our main goal is to share our family’s way of life, which is to find the perfect pair- ing for each moment, offering sensory experiences that last a lifetime.” The ambiance will center around treating patrons like neighbors and providing them with superior customer service as they select and taste the market’s high-quality products and enjoy freshly prepared foods from its dining menu. Narbona’s robust restaurant menu features starters such as tuna tartare, traditional home-made empanadas and fried zucchini blossoms. The menu also offers brick oven baked Uruguayan pizzas, and freshly prepared pastas like spinach and potato gnocchi in a gorgonzola sauce with crispy prosciutto, baby arugula and salted walnuts and shrimp and crab ravioli with heirloom cherry tomatoes and basil in a creamy, spicy pink sauce. Signature dishes include “Entrañita ‘’ comprising a 12oz prime skirt steak with sweet baked potato and chimichurri sauce and Branzino served with grilled vegetables and gremolata dip. Customers are encouraged to save room for Narbona’s freshly made desserts including gelatos, crepes filled with its signature artisanal dulce de leche, and its famed baked me- ringue-based Pavlova Narbona.
