Real Cafe - Spanish restaurant in Miami - 9600 SW 8th St #11, USA

The octopus was really really good and had great flavor. Tried both spanish beers they have on tap Mahou and alhambra roja. I liked both but my favorite was the alhambra roja because it was a stronger beer. My brother ordered their chicken breast with a parmesan sauce and fries and he said the sauce was on point plus the portion of chicken was very good. Stayed their to watch the Real Madrid game and the atmosphere was excelent.

Honestly, I could barely find the place at first and was the first dinner party when we arrived. I was able to have a conversation with the waitress about what to order and their specialties which led us to ordering several appetizers. We loved their Cod croquettes or croquetas de bacalao, the calamari was a huge portion and their chickpeas appetizer was a huge hit. My wife and son had a traditional paella which was so large, it would've fed 4 people and was only $20pp. My Cod or bacalao was just $20 as well. There was a local singer whose set started at 9pm and was very good as she interacted with the crowd. This place is reminiscent of an old dive but the food was so good you thought you were at a high end restaurant. I'll definitely return especially on a Friday when they have a flamenco style singer performer.

Be aware, a mandatory service fee (20%) will be added to your bill; if you are planning to see an artist performing there, that fee will be in your bill also, so you will be paying 20% on that as well. On top of that, they will ask you for tip at the end,,,, That for me is called scam.

The first thing you must have to be an sport bar and host a team fans club is a decent streaming service, yesterday was the 3rd time I went there to see a Real Madrid Game, as the last two times, they streamed the game using a fake system (well know miami as “la cajita”) with lot of delays and interruptions. Food and environment are good but come on guys pay for espn or other good streaming service.

Very nice place with good music and a very nice,atmosphere for an audience of middle-aged people

Beautiful place to enjoy.nice staff.

Scammers, they charge you much more than the bill and they don't even want to give you water when you leave. They are a total scam. I do not recommend this place. Horrible service.

Walked in on a Saturday night and found we were the only customers at the restaurant. That should have been a clue to get up and leave. The “musicians” were setting up and the tables were all over the place. Every item we ordered on both the food and the menu they were out of-really?!?!? On a Saturday night you are out of wine and half of the things listed on the menu?!?! Never again!!!
