The name “Ola” comes from “Hola”, the spanish word for “Hello”. And this is how The OLA Miami Restaurant at the Sanctuare in South Beach greets everyone. OLA is famous for its Latin American Cuisine, with some oriental influence (See location & Contact info at the end of this post).

NOT INTO SUSHI?

And if you are not into sushi or sashimi, don’t worry! The place also offers a tasty menu of steaks and meats (“churrasco” prepaired). For dessert my recommendation is the Key Lime Pie.
