A Culinary Journey

section title underline

Every dish has a backstory

Our menu is a collection of culinary memories, told through seared wild salmon, slow-braised carne mechada, herb-seared filet mignon, and fire-roasted vegetables.

From the golden sweetness of tostones with pink garlic shrimp, to the coastal brightness of LIMA ceviche and the dark yet silky warmth of CACAO & CARAMELO, each plate is a chapter from JJ’s journey and Olivia’s cocina.

Let your taste buds travel one dish at a time.

"Do not miss"

An absolute gem of fine dining level experience in a small but lovely boutique restaurant. Fabulous blending of Mediterranean and Latin cuisines. Creative, open kitchen, very reasonably priced. Service is impeccable. Do not miss

"Best restaurant in Orlando!"

This is hands down one of the best restaurant in Orlando! The prices could be twice as much and it would still be worth every dollar.

"A remarkable dine in experience"

It was a remarkable dine in experience. Took my wife for a date night & I will definitely be back. The service, environment and flavorful food was great & I was intrigued when they told me they do catering! I will definitely consider them for my next family gathering

"One word: YUM"

One word: YUM. The chicken was marinated for 72 hours and it showed. The steak was tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked. The vegetables were bright and well but not over seasoned. Food here is treated with love
