style 

"Less is more."

This simple philosophy defines Chef Mia Castro’s cooking style.

Her approach is minimalistic, refined, and ingredient-driven—always placing the spotlight on what’s fresh and seasonal. By sourcing ingredients at their peak, she lets them speak for themselves, using only what’s necessary to enhance their natural flavor. The result: food that is vibrant, clean, and never overworked.

Born in the Caribbean and classically trained in French technique, Mia blends Latin boldness with European finesse. Her dishes carry deep Puerto Rican and Latin influences, brought to life with bright colors, simple preparations, and elegant plating. These influences are balanced by her Mediterranean mindset, a focus on balance, freshness, and nourishment. Her Mediterribbean style is grounded in clean eating—favoring meals that are low in saturated fats, processed sugars, starches, and dairy, but always high in flavor and visual appeal.

Every plate reflects her attention to detail, culinary precision, and love for simplicity. Her food is artfully presented but never fussy. It’s designed to nourish the body, excite the palate, and reflect the harmony she strives for in life and in the kitchen.
