GK Bistronomie Wynwood, a gastronomical gem that lies just off of Wynwood’s main road, is the Peruvian inspired bistro that offers something special for just about everyone.
The endless menu options feature sushi rolls, ceviche platters, tiraditos, and more. Using a variety of locally sourced, organic ingredients and modern techniques, this spot has become quite the neighborhood favorite.
Rafael Perez Cambana, executive chef and owner of GK Bistronomie Wynwood, is an internationally renowned chef who has received the honor of “Grand Chef” important guide of hotels and restaurants in Europe, Relais & Châteaux (Relaischateaux.com), for the most making him only the third Latin American chef to receive this title. His career spans throughout many local, South Florida-based locations as well, including “The Setai” in South Beach and executive chef and partner of “ZRestaurant Group,” managing five of the most successful restaurants in Ecuador.
Cambaba also led Key West’s most luxurious establishment “The Restaurant” on Little Palm Island, where he went on to meet Philip Harbin.
They both led The Little Palm Island kitchen to reach the glory it is known for today. In August 2017, Chef Philip returned to South Florida after spending three years leading a culinary team in Abu Dhabi, where he began to open the new Novikov Bar & Grill concept on S. Biscayne Boulevard. However, after catching up with his old friend, Chef Rafael, the dynamic duo decided to team up again in order to drive the GKB Restaurant group to the next level. Today, the two are a force to be reckoned with, adding new dishes to the GK Bistronomie menu every season.
GKB Wynwood offers a special lunch combination, made especially for locals, in which tourists get to partake, too. GKB’s #LunchForLocals takes place between noon and 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday.
