Arcano Presents De Raíces - Special Edition - An Exclusive Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration Of Cocktails, Cuisine, And Culture

South Florida Sun Times

Oct 1, 2025

Built Into The DNA Of Arcano Restaurant, Which Opened Earlier This Year In The Heart Of Coral Gables, Is The Innate Joy, Unbridled Spirit, And Culinary Greatness Of Hispanoamérica. Its Very Concept – As Imagined By Husband-And-Wife Owners Juan Diego And Nicole Canahauti, Embodies A Gourmet, Globe-Trotting Jaunt Through The Many Regions That Hispanoamérica Encompasses. So Much So That Once A Month, The Restaurant Hosts Noche De Raíces, A One-Night-Only Event Spotlighting A Different Destination, Complete With Music, Food, And More. Having Said That, It Should Come As No Surprise That Hispanic Heritage Month From September 15th - October 15th Annually, Would Carry Special Significance At Arcano. Furthermore, Since Opening, The Canahautis Have Dedicated Themselves To Community Partnerships And In Keeping With That Are Donating A Portion Of The Evening’s Proceeds To The Coral Gables Community Foundation.

On Friday, October 10th at 7:30 p.m., Arcano will host an exclusive three-course dinner created in collaboration with a special guest, celebrated Chef/Restaurateur Pedro Mederos of Kojin in Coral Gables. This limited-seating, one-night-only culinary journey -- a special expanded version of that monthly dinner series, Noche de Raíces -- will feature a special welcome cocktail/cocktail reception with passed bites, followed by a three-course collaborative dinner featuring paired cocktails. Guests who prefer a non-alcoholic option will enjoy a bespoke mocktail pairing crafted by Arcano’s bar team, ensuring the same elevated experience with every course. And as any Arcano fan knows, this Coral Gables gem is as revered for its drinks as it is for the cuisine; in fact, it was recently honored as the premier cocktail destination in The City Beautiful by none other than Coral Gables magazine.


Guests looking to maximize their dine can enhance with the Chef's Table VIP Experience, an exclusive add-on (additional $50 per person), which includes all General Admission benefits plus a range of elevated offerings. Benefits include: priority seating at the Chef’s Table, where you'll be welcomed with a cocktail reception hosted by Chef Pedro and Arcano’s expert bar team; an additional fifth tasting course crafted specially for VIP guests paired with a premium spirit pour and a parting gift of a pre-batched Arcano cocktail, perfect for extending the experience beyond the evening.


The evening will be elevated by the soothing sounds of live Latin jazz, evoking at once an elegant yet lively aura very much in tune with Arcano’s nightly reputation as a soulful yet sophisticated spot.


“As proud members of the Coral Gables community, it brings us great joy to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by sharing the flavors and traditions that inspire Arcano,” says Juan Diego Canahuati. “Noche de Raíces is more than a dinner, it’s an invitation to honor our roots, connect through culture, and raise a glass to the richness of Hispanoamérica.”


Chef Pedro Mederos, the guest chef for the evening, is the Chef/Co-Owner of Kojin in Coral Gables. He is a passionate culinary professional of Cuban descent with a unique style equal parts daring, creativity, and technical precision, which will play a role in reinterpreting the global roots of Hispanoamérica. Since launching Kojin in 2024, the restaurant has garnered critical and popular acclaim for the combination of Chef Pedro’s wildly inventive cuisine, warm, welcoming service, and impressive wine and sake program.


Arcano is also proud to partner with Coral Gables Magazine as the exclusive media partner for this special occasion. Liquor sponsors include Ron Zacapa Centenario & Casamigos Tequila.
