Madre’s, which is Spanish for Mothers, was created by Jennifer Lopez to celebrate her cultural heritage and her family. Jennifer, who is of Puerto Rican descent, wanted her restaurant to serve Latin food, just like she had growing up. Madre’s serves dishes inspired by her grandmother. Jennifer wanted the interior of Madre’s to have an old style Havana feel with the help of interior designer Rachel Ashwell of Shabby Chic, the restaurant is warm, comfortable, and inviting. The main dining room has beautiful chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, which accents the antique sconces on the wall, and the white lace tablecloths. Booths near the bar have Habana style curtains that create an intimate feel. The tables are set with hand picked vintage china.
