About this Event
The Friends of Flor Fina dinner isn’t just a meal, it’s a celebration of culinary creativity, community, and connection in the heart of Ybor. Unlike a traditional chef’s tasting, this evening blends approachable cooking with the immersive flair of a live demonstration. Guests don’t just dine; they watch, learn, and engage with the artistry behind every dish
Step inside Las Novedades for an intimate evening that blends storytelling, live culinary demonstration, and a four-course dining experience. Hotel Haya’s culinary team invites you to gather “Friends of Flor Fina” around the table for a one-night-only event where approachable, elevated cooking meets the magic of performance.
Your evening begins with an heirloom tomato starter paired with a bright, garden-inspired cocktail of heirloom tomato shrub, fino sherry, lime, and dill. From there, the menu unfolds through three interactive chef-led demonstrations:
- Fresh Pasta: Pappardelle alla Gricia with roasted sweet potato, eggplant, guanciale, pecorino & basil
- Crisp Perfection: Pan-fried Chicken Cutlet, a Milanese-style Caesar with anchovy-garlic-parmesan beurre blanc
- Sweet Finish: No-bake Cookie Butter Cheesecake with salted caramel & dark chocolate paired with a decadent cocktail of sherry, bourbon cream, and spice
Thoughtfully paired wine selections and handcrafted cocktails designed by our bar team accompany the evening’s menu.
*Pricing includes dinner experience with curated cocktail and wine pairings, gratuity/taxes*
This is a 21+ event. $10 Event Valet Parking available or nearby metered city street parking.
