What began as a passion project quickly grew into something more for Luxe Picnics by Les—evolving from curated beach picnics and charcuterie boxes into a boutique market and café known for its European inspired offerings. The concept blends creativity with experience, offering a place to gather and enjoy thoughtfully prepared bites in a setting that feels inviting, relaxed, and designed for connection. Founder Les, a self-taught charcuterie artist, draws inspiration from her Spanish and Italian heritage, bringing a distinct perspective to every detail. Inside the boutique, guests can explore Florida’s first build-a-box grazing bar, customizing selections of cheeses, meats, and accompaniments, prepared and packaged on the spot. The menu extends to pressed bocadillos, waffle and croissant sandwiches, salads, and vegan and gluten-free options, alongside Cuban espresso and mocktails. Through private events, collaborations, and catering, Luxe Picnics by Les creates experiences that feel personal, elevated, and memorable.
