Miami’s Newest Restaurant Openings, Now on Resy
Want to know the latest — and greatest — restaurant openings in Miami? You’re in luck.
From Massimo Bottura’s exciting foray into the Miami dining scene to a proper celebration of the Mediterranean, we have you covered with this continuously updated list of hot new debuts.
And if you’re seeking out some beloved Miami spots that are now bookable on Resy, we’ve got you covered here.
Brother’s Keeper Miami Beach
Newly added!
Because this Miami Beach cocktail bar makes for a very fun night out. Get ready for tuna poke nachos (a Resy staff favorite), jerk wings that beat Bobby Flay, and expertly chilled martinis with sea salt and olive oil, all against a moody backdrop of glass-block windows and purple neon.
Cru Lounge Miami Wynwood
Newly added!
A growing nightlife chain with roots in the South, Cru is known for its lively atmosphere, hookah offerings, bar snacks, plentiful cocktails, and more. In short, it’s a party vibe that fits right in here.
Otto and Pepe Wynwood
Newly added!
The sleek room, natural woods, and earth tones might feel a little serious, but once you see the pop-art mural on the wall, and caricatures of Otto (the pasta) and Pepe (the wine bottle) hanging around the dining room, bar, and patio, you’ll be reminded to have a little fun. That’s easy at Miami’s first “pasta bar,” where you can watch all the rolling, twirling, and saucing action in the kitchen.
Torno Subito Downtown Miami
World-renowned Italian chef Massimo Bottura has landed in Miami. With outposts in Dubai and Singapore, expect the unexpected — a colorful, whimsical 1960s Italy vibe and incredibly creative dishes and drinks to match.
Havana Beach Miami Beach
Newly added!
Here’s a something-for-everybody restaurant that focuses on the culinary pleasures of Cuba’s cuisine (like a classic Cubano sandwich, lechón asado with Moro rice and yuca, and Cuban-style fried chicken), but also offers burgers, pasta, pizza, Mexican dishes, and more — all of it as delicious as you want it to be.
CASA NEOS Downtown Miami
With two floors of sandy hues, hand-carved woods, and natural fabrics, Casa Neos is an oasis that celebrates the Mediterranean and Miami. Warm flatbread with various dips, a grilled rack of lamb, Greek salad with aged feta, and Sicilian ratatouille with a Solara (tequila, papaya, and coriander bitters) in hand hits right.
Yaya Coastal Cuisine Upper Eastside
With its earthy vibe and stunning, sunny décor, you could be somewhere in the Mediterranean. But in reality, you’re on the water in North Miami, sipping martinis made with olive-washed vodka and sharing whole branzino or lobster Cobb salad. The bayfront and skyline views go on for days.
Recoveco South Miami
Everything is seamlessly curated and intentional at this haute South Miami spot, from the choice of silverware and the earth-toned palette to the wine list. Dishes burst with flavor and are full-on stunners, from red snapper swimming in savory horchata to the crackling-skin chicken. The menu changes often, so know you’ll just have to go back.
ViceVersa Downtown Miami
This is the place for Negroni lovers — the ones who love Italian spirits, vermouth, and amaro — or at least, want to know more about them. Stop for a margarita knock-off made with Borolo and marmalade (Brucio in Bocca) or a spritz, definitely stay for some crudo or pizza, then ponder whether life is better in Milan or Miami.
Felice Brickell Brickell
Fitting into the neighborhood quite nicely, the group behind the Felice and Sant Ambroeus empire brings Tuscan-inspired fare and wine to the financial district. It’s clubby and intimate, with plush leather booths, great art, Negronis, and ragus. Felice (it means “happy”), indeed.
Piegari Ristorante Wynwood
Whether it’s the Messi effect or not, Argentinian restaurants are having a moment in Miami. This first U.S. outpost of the Buenos Aires celeb-packed spot is among the best, both in design — the massive open kitchen and live pasta makers are part of the show — and food. Expect things like delicate chitarra tossed with tomatoes, empanadas, and other Italian and Argentinian staples.
Itamae AO Midtown
You could hear hearts breaking when Nando and Val Chang announced the closing of their wildly popular Itamae. The good news: It’s now an intimate jewel box of a space next to their other restaurant, Maty’s. This isn’t just Nikkei cuisine by some of the country’s most exciting up-and-coming chefs, it’s an omakase experience that takes the concept to the next level.
Catch Miami Beach South of Fifth
Fresh air and a bird’s-eye view of the surroundings are hallmarks of Catch restaurants around the globe, whether it’s in the Meatpacking District in Manhattan or West Hollywood in L.A. The Miami Beach outpost has it all: An opulent Art Déco vibe both inside and out, lots of cocktails and bubbly, truffle sashimi, Cantonese lobster, and hot rock Wagyu prepared tableside.
Gold Standard Sushi Wynwood
Like a sushi speakeasy hidden behind a secret door inside Whitman’s, this roving omakase experience brings everything you’ve come to expect from high-end tasting menus: A welcome round of sparkling wine or Japanese whisky, a small counter with a handful of seats, and 16 courses of elevated nigiri, sashimi, and more, each bite more impressive than the last.
Tacombi – Brickell Brickell
Once a Volkswagen bus on the beaches of Yucatán, then a beach-meets-retro hot spot in New York, Tacombi clearly feels right at home in Miami. This fourth location offers the same stellar taco menu (al pastor, carnitas, carne asada, and occasionally birria), plus pitchers of margaritas and housemade aguas frescas. The lush outdoor courtyard, two bars, and open kitchen are part of the fun.
Mangrove Downtown Miami
More nights should include jerk fried chicken sandwiches, coconut peas and rice, griot and pikliz, and vinyl vibes. Cocktails take a detour through the Caribbean; things like the Hotstepper combine passionfruit with housemade hot sauce.
KYU Miami Wynwood Art District
Warm tones and earthy elements play a balancing act with the fiery spirit of this (reopened!) mainstay. Don’t worry: Kyu’s iconic roasted cauliflower, Korean fried chicken, crispy rice, and sesame-crusted short ribs are all here. But don’t overlook lighter newcomers like crunchy kale — texture is everything.
Aoko Edgewater
Sushi made with pristine fish and subtle, creative flourishes doesn’t require flashing lights, bottle service, or even a sign on the door, and this Edgewater spot proves it. From the hand rolls (like aji with chimichurri) to the nigri and rolls, everything is graceful. If you can’t decide what to get, the omakase’s the way to go.
La Màrtola Buena Vista
Pretend you’re languishing somewhere along the Adriatic, a place where you can get wood-fired grilled meats, local fish, and bright vegetable dishes bursting with freshness. Add in the gorgeous La Filiale pies, and you have this must-stop in Buena Vista.
MUCHAAACHOS Miami Beach
There’s a real love of Argentinian fútbol and food at this Normandy Isles spot (think of the extra a’s as what a crowd roars any time Argentina scores). Go for the grilled cowboy steak for two, chorizo links, or the skirt steak with tomato, mozzarella, and hand-cut fries. Stay for the Argentinian wines, vermouth, or a Fernet and coke.
Bodega Mezcaleria Coral Gables Coral Gables
Distressed leather loungers, reclaimed wood, dim lights — it’s exactly where you want to be sipping a mezcal old fashioned whilst snacking on crispy pork belly topped with caviar. The intimate 26-seater is a vibe, a hideaway for those in the know.
Abbalé Telavivian Kitchen – Aventura Aventura
There’s so much more room at this second outpost of the popular Telavivian restaurant. That means better chances for chef Sam Gorenstein’s warm pita and salatim, crunchy cauliflower with tamarind glaze, and flat-iron steak shashlik. Brunch is exceptional, as are cocktails; sip an arak sour at the bar any time.
Motek Brickell Brickell
Like the other Motek locations, this is the perfect place for all-day brunch, especially when shakshuka and various mezze are involved. The Arayes burger (beef kofta kebabs stuffed into a soft pita with tahini and harissa) tastes even better in larger indoor and outdoor digs with a cocktail by its side.
Tacombi – Wynwood Wynwood
Once a Volkswagen bus on the beaches of Yucatán, then a beach-meets-retro hot spot in New York, Tacombi feels just right for Miami. This third location brings the stellar taco menu (al pastor, carnitas, carne asada, and occasionally birria), plus pitchers of margaritas, and housemade aguas frescas to a bustling, vibrant corner of Wynwood.
Oise Ristorante By Brad Kilgore Wynwood
Miami, say hello to itameshi. The delightful Italy-meets-Japan mashup cuisine takes center stage at Oise, where James Beard-nominated chef Brad Kilgore brilliantly fires up dishes like gyoza in brodo, meatballs in red miso tomato sauce, and black sesame tiramisu.
