Gabriel Aubry’s Fuego Food
Finally made it out to Cafe Fuego for brunch yesterday with Audrey. Here’s what we ordered:
- Ensalada Verde Mixta: A harmonious blend of crispy mesclun greens, hearts of palm & skinned carrots accompanied with a light garlic glaze
- Cubano Sandwich: A concert of warm pork & ham celebrated with mustard, pickles & perfectly aged Swiss cheese, on crisp Cuban bread
- Cafe Fuego Macaroni de Queso: Baked macaroni with the symmetry of bubbly manchego, spirited mozzarella and smooth cream cheese
The mac & cheese was a tad soupy but tasty. The salad was good. But the Cuban sandwich was over-the-charts YUMMY. Definitely going back for seconds and trying the other dishes out too.
Halle Berry’s boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, is the co-owner of Cafe Fuego with business partner Stephane Bibeau. Cafe Fuego is located @ 9 St. Marks Place, New York, NY 10003.
And be sure to check out the Cafe Fuego bathroom. There are choice newspaper clippings of Halle and Gabriel plastered on the walls including their last mention in Page Six.

i was wondering about this restaurant. thanks for the review. i’ll have to check it out.
God, the food sounds so good. It’s got my mouth watering. Dammit should’ve taken a lunch break today!!!
I like Halle and Aubry together. I know he’s a model and good looking but I don’t find him sexy. Anyways, I still hope Halle and Aubry make it. It looks as though this relationship is good for both of them. They’d make some beautiful babies together.
oh God, im glad you enjoyed your meal b/c i enojoyed mine. Loved the mojitos.
What did you think about their photos being in the bathroom?
I thought it was amusing. I pointed at them and laughed. Of all places, those were the only mentions of the two of them in the entire restaurant… that I noticed.
Gabriel is such a hottie ! I really hope his restaurant works well, not like the Fashion Café … mouhahahah ;)
JJ–glad you had a good experience at the restaurant and plan to go back. Clips in the can–funny but a little tacky, amusing reading material while doing your thing. Let’s hope there won’t be as many posts and trash from the blog on the opening. Anyway, thanks for your review and Monday funny.
I went there when it first opened, before most people knew about it and I thought the food was AMAZING. I had the Ropa Vieja and my friend had Pollo a la Plancha, both were so good. They didn’t have the clippings when I was there, but it’s amusing that they do now.
Stop it, I am salivating with all of this talk of food. The food pictures are mouth-watering. His smile isn’t bad either. Wishing he and his partner the very best of success. Will definitely have to go there the next time I am in town.
What a hoot about the clippings for interesting entertainment in the bathroom, what a riot, but I guess that’s Halle’s personal touch with her funny sense of humor. Am really glad that a couple more people have had a great experience there. A couple of my friends who have been at various different times enjoyed themselves too.
Has anyone there yet for brunch? Have heard good things. Just curious.
Haven’t been there yet, due to my busy schedule preventing me from going into the city. Have heard brunch is as good as their lunches and dinners.
Jared,
Meant to mention this earlier–Have been a fan of your site for awhile, it’s probably one of the better celebrity sites on the ‘net. I am glad you gave them a good review after the bashing over the last two weeks that got somewhat out of hand, no offense I thought I got on tmz.com, perezhilton or concreteloop by mistake. Nothing wrong at increasing readership, but not at the expense of disrespecting people.
Nothing wrong with people doing more than one post under the same name or in response to someone’s question, but I do agree with a couple of the comments by some of the posters myself included mentioning about that a lot of the comments were probably by the same folks, I don’t know but it’s very possible and a better way of filtering those posters as well as people probably making up email addresses. Probably some sick high school prank. I seriously doubt over 300 different people made individual posts to the article on the opening.
This sounds like a good Cafe. I hope that Halle has found happiness with Mr Aubry. She has certainly gone throuh a lot in her personal relationships. Hopefully, she has found contentment. Much success to the Cafe and Halle and Aubry.
LOL3…please don’t go there…there either all talked out or really don’t care. Am glad the restaurant is doing well .Let’s hope posters can stay on the topic of the restaurant or if they’re mention as it only relates to the above picture or the clippings. If ya’ll still want to keep it going to the post on the opening.
Wasn’t trying to be mean in my comment LOL3, I hope they do well too. Just tired of the drama. We all should just let them be all of us. I’m sure if Jared had any gossip he would have mentioned or will post it. The comments really should stay on the topic.
Not trying to spread any negative karma–still think the clippings in the bathrooms are very gauche and not funny. Very poor taste. I’ll get over it.
Thank God, my parents had class. It’s one thing to have a 50s-60s map of Paris in my parents bathroom, actually it was fun having a geography lesson while going to the can or the same period B/W cocktail party wallpaper in our kitchen powder room.
Dang …. was hoping for some good ole romantic gossip on the two beautiful lovelies who are Gabriel and Halle. Pictures of Gabriel and Halle in the restaurant …. relationship sounds pretty serious to me. So glad to read that JJ enjoyed a wonderful meal at the restaurant.
Looks yummy. Worth going to?
Hey Jared…got a question re: the clippings so if/when the relationship will/may sour does that mean the relationship will then really be in the crapper . Just kidding. More hype? Classy?
BTW, I know for a fact 1-2 who are responsible for posting at least half of the posts on this thread (and have never been to the restaurant). And posted half or 160+ of the comments on the opening piece from 1-2 wks. ago using fake emails addresses and multiple email addresses, etc. (probably causing 50-65%+ comments/responses) I guess some of us are sicker than others. How sad. Not being rude to ya jared, just wanted you know so ya didn’t think that many people actually answered your blog on that article.
On the opening article, you never mentioned what you had ordered and how the food and service were (other than your description of Aubry and what he was talking to the bartender about which totally fine if your into that)? Did you order anything? I seriously, want to know what you thought of the place, food, service, decor. Was it crowded or slow? Etc. Thanks.

Hey you, I don’t care anymore who is posting, as long as they are posting. It doesn’t matter who is posting as long as there are a lot of posts! I just repeated myself…
Anyhow, I figure that Jared gets the picture that people are interested in Gabriel and Halle. Just like with Brad & Angie, Jared will be trying to please the fans by being the first to get the new tidbits. So bring on the posts!!!
GoHalle–Maybe you could be right….the articles are in the frigging bathrooms…not the lobby/foyer, dining area, his office, bar…the frigging bathroom/s…doesn’t mean anything…other than if Aubry is responsible for the interior decorating which was mentioned in the other article comments…very yucky…still using Halle to draw customers in and he knows JJ will report it.
Although I wish the restaurant well and them well too–the more I read this crap, I think it’s all hype, I am sorry, really not trying to start anything, and don’t have any respect for him or Halle. God, I really hope the relationship isn’t hype either, because if it is how could you let yourself go over the last few years, I am sorry. We all want to be loved, cared for, catered to, etc. on some level but why make yourself so desperate.
I really hope you can get it together and make things work out seriously. Let’s hope Aubry doesn’t turn out like Jack Denison. Just because you played Dottie, you don’t have to end up like her and your well on your way. I will pray for your safety and well-being. Don’t say you totally happy all those pix and videos don’t lie especially as much as twirl on the astral plane and send **** out to cosmos. You need to get more centered and have your insides and outsides match, they’re still not in harmony.
Believe me you really don’t want to know what goes on in her head. It ain’t all pretty. And yes, I really am psychic and make a living at it as a second income for real.
Brad and Angelina is one thing ( god knows if my friends posted there too, doubt it). Halle and himbo is another. I just really don’t get it. On the other thread sites…there really aren’t a lot of posts on some of them. People really don’t care. You logic is very high schoolish, sorry not coming from a mature woman who wouldn’t be posting such silly comments. At least the beginning posters if really real wanted to hear about the place. You may be right JJ is probably loving it either way and bringing more attention to the restaurant and them to validate their relationship. Guess it be interesting to see if my multiple posting friends will still post after your insult to their intelligence.
Hey, you are still here… still interested in this post that nobody cares much about. Please!
Don’t care about the number of posts, etc. How insulting to insinuate they’re as popular as B & AQ or T & K, etal or will ever be.
The more I read about this place and the relationship I am totally turned off. Whatever happens to the place so be it. Whatever happens to the relationship–they both deserve each other—both are shallow self-absorbed media whores–I don’t know how you all can live with yourselves.
Halle, I stood by ya for years when **** was always flying, if anything bad happens, ya have been warned all along, you get what you deserve. You really are a **** and you have really sold yourself to the devil on this one. You know longer look glam, sexy. How tacky walking out of the restaurant with a drink in your hand. You aren’t all that with your plastic/botox body parts. Don’t care if the comments bring you and your ***** closer together. Don’t care if you have his kid, marry him (if you do the prenup thing), bankroll his restaurant, etc. God are you so ******* desperate to be loved that you’ll settle for anything. So much for the 12 steps, you definitely have relapsed on this one with your no nothing life.
It doesn’t surprise me if she does flit about in the cosmos, no wonder she’s never grounded and is all over the ******* place.
Really couldn’t care less about the number of posts, I don’t think they’re that popular. I think they look utterly ridiculous. Nothing classy about him or his restaurant or the relationship (and whatever attracts them together—Halle’s twat (if they really do have sex that often or at all ) and Gabby’s love for Halle’s money and so called prestige. A-list my ass, she belongs on Kathy Griffin’s D-List (sorry Kathy for the insult). If he truly loves her regardless of the photos, reports,etc. I will be amazed and will stay for the long haul and is really not an *******–I really will be amazed.
Both are stupid ***** deserving each other and whatever happens to them, the restaurant, etc. Halle, you’re definitely slumming with your new ***** and have sold your soul to the devil on this one. Can’t wait to see what you, Vince and Sam (Karen her publicist) come up with for damage control when all is said and done.
