Kathia Joseph, a Haitian entrepreneur raised in France, transformed her near-failed restaurant into a profitable hookah lounge before launching Casa Matilda in 2024. Despite challenges, her determination and refusal to give up have led her restaurant to attract celebrities and earn strong reviews. Joseph's journey from a translator in film and TV to a restaurateur reflects her adaptability and commitment to quality in a competitive dining scene, showcasing her innovative approach amidst the trends of South Beach's restaurant culture.
Joseph's knack for betting on herself is what led her to open Casa Matilda, a Miami Beach steakhouse, in early 2024.
I'm the type of person that never gives up. I said that I'm not going to close.
As many South Beach 'clubstaurants' focus on keeping up with trends, Casa Matilda is working to define itself by its fresh cuisine and detail-oriented service.
In her first year of running the business, the Washington Avenue restaurant has welcomed celebrities ranging from rapper 50 Cent to actor Cuba Gooding Jr.
