Lee Brian Schrager, founder and director of the Food Network South Beach and Latest York City Wine & Food festivals, dishes on the most effective latest spots to dine during Art Basel.
After launching in Toronto, Sofia has made its way south to Miami’s sunny Design District, aiming to turn out to be Palm Court’s latest signature restaurant.
It offers each contemporary and nostalgic Italian classics like beef carpaccio (below), grilled octopus and rigatoni alla vodka.
Sip elegant, Italy-inspired cocktails (akin to the Nights of Cabiria and Sorrentino) or hard-to-find vino while having fun with live entertainment in Sofia’s glammed out, flamingo-pink spaces.
Gekkō, 8 SE eighth St.
Superstar rapper Bad Bunny and restaurant-nightlife mogul David Grutman (of Groot Hospitality) are the duo behind this Japanese-inspired steakhouse in Brickell.
Gekkō, meaning “moonlight,” immerses guests in a luxe and dramatic ambience: velvety banquettes, dragon motifs, wealthy wall coverings and rope-like draperies, across indoor and outdoor spaces. If the celeb sightings and Wagyu skirt steak aren’t extra enough, order the 24K Otoro — sushi sprinkled with glimmering edible gold.
Following an intensive revamping, the historic Mayfair House Hotel & Garden has reopened its doors in Coconut Grove.
The hotel’s namesake Mayfair Grill restaurant serves up wood-fired cuisine with Southwestern flavors from veteran Miami chef Sean Bernal. The wide-ranging menu includes blazing dishes like fire-roasted squash, aguachile, wood-oven cheese, braised lamb shank and Navajo breads.
Contessa, 111 NE forty first St.
Wine and dine your favolosi friends on this glamorous latest Northern Italian concept from Major Food Group. With Art Deco and Venetian twists, the restaurant evokes Lake Como, circa 1960.
Kick off your meal with a wide range of antipasti starters, followed by a number of pasta — possibly the decadent spicy lobster capellini or the rigatoni carbonara. Then dive into grilled branzino or a 40-ounce dry-aged bistecca Fiorentina for 2 before satisfying your sweet tooth with a scoop of homemade gelato or a slice of chocolate-hazelnut cake (above).
This brasserie, offering contemporary American cuisine that spotlights Miami’s cultural diversity, has just opened in the center of Wynwood.
A collaboration between chef Brad Kilgore and Broken Shaker’s Elad Zvi and Gabe Orta, MaryGold’s menu will offer each eclectic cocktails, just like the Plum & Pink Peppercorn (above), and exciting dishes. Introduce your taste buds to brioche beignets topped with jerk oxtail ragout and, for dessert, a Floridian spin on baked Alaska toasted tableside, with hints of citrus and spice-infused Haitian rum.
Klaw, 1737 N. Bayshore Drive
Situated within the 95-year-old Woman’s Club constructing, Klaw mesmerizes diners with its Spanish Renaissance architecture and breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay.
As for the food, entrepreneur Sasha Krilov and London-based restaurateur Mikhail “Misha” Zelman have introduced a latest wave of luxe surf and turf. Norwegian king crab (above) and bluefin tuna share plates with meat originating from Nebraska ranchers, all sourced by chef Michael Paley, with seasonal dishes rounding out the menu.
Helmed by certainly one of the country’s only female omakase chefs, Ambrely Ouimette, this beloved Austin, Texas, restaurant has now arrived at Miami Beach’s Esmé hotel.
With only three nightly seatings for 12 guests to take pleasure in a 17-course meal, it’s no wonder the spot mustered a 20,000-person-long waiting list during its pop-up era. As Ouimette told Time Out Miami: “If traditional sushi is taken into account an art form, I need Sushi | Bar to be checked out because the Banksy of the industry — illustrious, impactful and leading edge.”
