Chef Michael Beltran 🐌✨ — a true Miami original and chef/owner of Ariete — is shaping the city’s culinary voice with every dish he creates.
Born in Hialeah and raised in Little Havana, his cooking is rooted in the traditions of his Cuban heritage, where food is about connection, culture, and community. Today, that spirit meets refined technique across his acclaimed restaurants, including Michelin-starred Ariete.
As a Snail of Approval Honoree, Chef Beltran exemplifies a commitment to good, clean, and fair food — honoring local ingredients, storytelling through cuisine, and the people behind it all. 🌿
✨ Taste his vision at the Snail of Approval Tasting Party — an unforgettable night celebrating the flavors and future of Miami’s food scene.
Join Slow Food Miami for the highly anticipated 15th Annual Snail of Approval Tasting Party on Thursday, April 9, 2026, at the breathtaking Carillon Miami Wellness Resort.
