Claire De Lune has undergone some changes

to match our new "dinnertime jazz" format.

You'll still hear African percussion at its best with

and talented Marcel Anton on lead guitar, playing everything from

Soukous/Highlife to Afrobeat versions of Janice Joplin,

The Beatles, and soulful jazz hits like 'Summertime'.

This is the beginning of something special, so come out so

you can say 'I knew them when...."!

NEW BAND THIS FRIDAY - KULTCHUS BAND (Live Reggae/Soca/Calypso)


When you first hear the name you might think reggae. And you would be correct. But while the Kultchus Band does honor the reggae greats, like Robert Nestor Marley, Steel Pulse, and Lucky Dube, the band is not just reggae. The Kultchus ingeniously infuse contemporary music; from the likes of Jason Mraz and Five For Fighting, with reggae rhythms to bring smooth, mellow and enjoyable harmonies. The Kultchus also cover other genres of music; like sweet Caribbean Soca and Calypso – and with each member’s unique flavor, you will “feel to party”… every time!
The Kultchus Band is about fun. And about connecting people and spreading love through music. Come join Eddie Kultchus, Paul Kultchus, Nevo Kultchus, and Veira Kultchus… and feel the music!

If not there will be extras so don't be shy!

Friday night starts out with some nice tapas specials and the usual 2-4-1 happy hour, followed by another slammin' performance by JaJA LIVE! COME OUT AND JOIN US!

Welcome to the new lecafemimo.com!

As you can see we've updated our website. Special thanks to Eli Bistrong for her help with the photos. The new site is optimized as a communication tool to you our guests so we can inform you in real-time of specials, events and new menu items. For instance, did you know we are getting Heineken on Tap in the near future? (Now you do). Nothing like a crisp fresh Heineken drawn straight from the tap on a hot summer night. We are also getting ready to make some additions/changes to the wine list and menu, so stay tuned. Join the mailing list and have an espresso drink on us, and don't miss JaJA LIVE on a NEW MUSIC NIGHT, THIS FRIDAY APRIL 10th. Hope to see you soon!

Coming soon - $1 tapas style hors d'oeuvres during happy hour!

Ongoing - Le Cafe Presents: "Off the Cuff" with Sammy Figueroa


At age 19, Sammy Figueroa found himself living in NYC working at Sam Goodies. After months of selling records to Herbie Mann he was given his first break - sit in with the Herbie Mann band. He was a kid but they loved him. Two months later he was playing Montreaux Jazz festival and the rest is history…

Figueroa has never forgotten his humble but exciting beginnings. His mentors taught him the importance of being influenced by young, up-and-coming musicians and artists. "It feeds my soul' says Sammy, "it's more than just fun – it's necessary in order for me to continue creating, let alone living."

When Sammy and Joe Teskie (a student of improvisational music and friend of Le Cafe) first met, Figueroa could feel the connection and knew something great would grow from it.

When the opportunity came to reach out to his community and the beautiful people of South Florida through an opportunity to play improvisational music – Sammy jumped on it.

Figueroa and Teskie both said, "let's just play man – something "off the cuff"…

Join Sammy Figueroa and "Off the Cuff" every other Thursday from 8 pm – 11 pm.

STARTS THIS THURSDAY FEBRUARY 26, 2009 at 8PM.
