One thing that Coral Gables is lucky enough to have is a
long list of great restaurants. There
are times where you have a craving and there are times you keep hearing about a
new place that you want to try. This is
one of the raves about a new restaurant in the Gables – Bulla Gastrobar.
Bulla is the brainchild of a former owner of Por Fin which
just so happens to be next door. Carlos
Centurion loves the gastrobars in Spain and put one right where it needed to be
– in the Gables. Gastronomy is the study
of good eating and at Bulla Gastrobar that is exactly what the place is about.
Located at the corner of Ponce de Leon and Andalusia Avenue in
the heart of the Gables, Bulla Gastrobar is absolutely fantastic. Bulla (pronounced boo-ya!) is full of
excitement and a fun atmosphere.
Everyone in there is smiling and having a blast while enjoying good food
and great wine. It is described as a
Spanish tapas bar and features a menu that looks delicious with smaller plates and
large ones as well. When you look around
the place, you see people taking a bite of something then looking at their
friends with big eyes that suddenly roll back in their heads. That is followed by repeated “yums.”

| Arroz a Banda |
A couple of our favorites at our table were Huevos
Bulla, a combination of organic egg, homemade potato chips, Serrano ham, potato
foam, truffle oil and Arroz a Banda which is paella type dish that leaves you
wanting more. As for drinks, the Sangria
is delectable but the Moscow Mule is one you definitely want to try (but be
careful).
The Heart of the Gables
Coral Gables is filled with great places to eat especially
along and around the Miracle Mile. One
of the city’s greatest attributes is being able to walk from place to place. In real estate terms, Coral Gables is
considered to be “very walkable.” When people venture into our quaint little
city, they are taken aback by how everyone who lives in and around this part
walks everywhere. That is one of the primary
reasons people choose Coral Gables rentals or property for sale close to the
Miracle Mile.
From residences in condominiums like the Gables Club,
Ten Aragon or any of the other well-known buildings to living in close-by
neighborhoods like Coral Gables Granada, Country Club, Gables Riviera and
others, a big draw is how close they are to shopping, dining and simply
enjoying the “City Beautiful.”
This part of Coral Gables has its own unique character as
most of the homes have that classic old Florida architectural appeal that you
simply do not see in newly constructed homes.
The details inside many of the older homes reflect the time and attitude
of the people who have called the Gables home for decades. Outside, whether in one of the neighborhoods
or along the streets surrounding the Miracle Mile, there is a sense of
community that is hard to find in many parts of the area and even the state.
The Perfect South Florida Atmosphere
Bulla Gastrobar reflects this attitude and has a very cozy
atmosphere as well. If you are looking
for something new and different to try or are new to the area, let us suggest –
no tell you – to try Bulla Gastrobar. It
has fantastic food, awesome libation and the perfect South Florida
atmosphere. We promise you want be
disappointed.
