MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
Kaya occupies a small bungalow-style building in the Mills 50 district. Inside, there's a quirky charm along with views of the open kitchen. Diners enjoy a tasting menu served in multiple courses, some with more than one element. Expect a modern spin on classic Filipino dishes with local seafood and central Florida produce taking center stage. Kinilaw na isada, a ceviche-style dish with madai and finely diced fruit in a vinegar sauce is a stunning dish that wakes up the palate for a strong start. Then, the menu changes often, but you may enjoy kare, a rectangle of braised fork-tender oxtail resting in the classic and flavorful peanut stew/sauce, along with various vegetables. It's served with their pitch-perfect garlic rice, served classic or with a luxe update with King crab.
Gastronomy & Sustainability
"We are proud that more than 90% of our produce comes from Florida farms. We center our work around the Filipino value bayanihan, a spirit of communal support. We have built Kaya with the intention to improve the local restaurant-farmer-community ecosystem from how we hire and develop our team to partnering with local artisans, sourcing our produce and seafood as locally as possible, minimizing waste through intentional and creative utilization of byproducts."
