Miami’s Newest Restaurant Openings, Now on Resy
Want to know the latest — and greatest — restaurant openings in Miami? You’re in luck.
From a Pujol alum’s Little Havana hot spot to cozy enoteca courtesy of Major Food Group, 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.
CARBONE VINO Coconut Grove Coconut Grove
Newly added!
Consider this Carbone a cozier enoteca, something more for your every day. Of course you’ll find favorites (Caesar alla ZZ, spicy rigatoni vodka, veal parm), but don’t overlook the daily specials and something extra for the kids (spaghetti bambini, anyone?). While the wine list is beyond expansive, daily by-the-glass selections keep things interesting.
Bistro 8 Little Havana
Newly added!
Vibrant, colorful and cool, this Little Havana spot features comfort food with a Mexican twist (the chef hails from Mexico’s lauded Pujol, after all). That means shrimp tostadas with refried beans and salsa macha, whole roasted fish with adobo and fresh tortillas, and pork belly al pastor with pineapple pico de gallo.
Kitchen 57 South Miami
Newly added!
Bringing all the neighborhood vibes with its cozy, industrial-chic look, Kitchen 57 is the place to go for baby back ribs and hand-cut fries, short rib grilled cheese on challah, chicken parm with linguine, and grilled steaks. Big poofy popovers with jam are impossible to resist at brunch.
Kiss Speakeasy Miami Beach
Newly added!
Steps from its bigger sibling Kissaki, this tight cocktail bar has a lot going for it. Cool and cozy design? Check. Wagyu tacos and caviar cornets? Absolutely. Cocktails with boatloads of flavors and flair (and sometimes fire) round out the experience.
Barra Vieja Doral
Newly added!
Chef Julian Medina pulls inspiration from Mexico’s beaches for this downtown Doral stunner. On the menu, you’ll find fresh ceviches, aguachile verde, plump jumbo shrimp marinated in garlic mojo, and tacos stuffed with octopus or spicy lobster. Margaritas with a Tajín rim hit just right.
Sra. Martinez Coral Gables
12 years after closing their award-winning restaurant, acclaimed chef Michelle Bernstein and husband David Martinez have reopened Sra. Martinez in Coral Gables, and the result is a stunner. Think pink terrazzo floors, plush seating, and live music, with returning staples (like croquetas, but this time in carbonara and paella flavors) and dishes like mushroom shawarma, aged steaks with Spanish chimichurri, and sherry cobblers.
Jon & Vinny’s – Allapattah Miami
It’s fitting that Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo make their way to Miami (they got their start in Florida) with their version of Italian-American-via-Los Angeles staples. Think little gem lettuce salads with Calabrian chile dressing, crunchy mozzarella sticks, meatballs, damn good pizzas (the L.A. Woman is a classic), tonnarelli cacio e pepe, rainbow cookies, and soft serve.
Malka West Palm Beach West Palm Beach
Chef Eyal Shani brings his kosher Mediterranean headliner to West Palm Beach via Tel Aviv, and the same classic whimsy is on the menu. Expect familiar dishes like his “a very Israeli hummus so close to perfection,” the famous Malka schnitzel, and “whole fish roasted on a terrifying fire.” Pro tip: The espresso martini with tahini defies everything you know about espresso martinis.
Ensenada Miami
Direct from Brooklyn via a Cosme alum, this vortex of mariscos and mezcal has a decidedly Miami edge. The stunning array of bright aguachiles and ceviches, vibrant cocktails, superb tacos, and al pastor sliced from a proper trompo, fit right in.
Babette Coral Gables
There’s a little bit of magic happening at this Coral Gables bistro covered in greenery. Maybe it’s chef Daniel Chavez-Bello’s touch with beef or beet tartare, cavatelli with lamb ragù, or scallops with ginger “leche de tigre.” Or it’s the lovely room befitting the gorgeous dishes. Either way, you’re bound to have a memorable evening.
Ossobuco Coconut Grove Coconut Grove
Though it’s named after a delicious meaty dish, the vegetables are just as much of a highlight at this swank and stylish spot. At the hand of chef Guillermo Eleicegui, smoked beets with ricotta mousse, grilled baby carrots, and sweet and sour cauliflower are perfect matchs for the wood-fired tomahawk, bone-in ribeye, and picanha. Creative cocktails and DJs set the tone.
a’Riva Miami Beach
You don’t need to be a member to dine at the Harbour Club’s restaurant, but it does feel like a place where you can conduct business during the day and grab drinks with friends well into the night. The dining room is posh yet comfortable, and the patio feels like a lush Mediterranean garden. Crudos, pastas and spritzes abound.
MIKA Coral Gables
At this high-end establishment, Michelin-starred chef Michael White (whose iconic Marea introduced high-end Italian seafood to New York) brings vivid Mediterranean fare to Coral Gables. Don’t miss White’s most notable creations — a langoustine carpaccio and pasta with octopus and bone marrow — which anchor the menu here, too.
Sunny’s Little River
There’s a lot about this Little River steakhouse that makes any day better. It’s the expertly crafted martinis plucked from a “pick your path” menu, the shrimp cocktail and chilled oysters, steaks grilled over oak with fantastic sauces, and a black cod in mussel broth if you’re sticking to the seafood route. Most of all, it’s the vibe that’s equally vintage and contemporary at the same time.
Margot Bar & Bistro – South Beach Miami Beach
If you love Bar Lab’s Margot Wine Bar downtown, you’ll double down on its South Beach sibling. It has the same moody-cool vibe but a lot more on offer, including a full menu (yes to the hand-cut tartare and chips, hamachi ceviche, and ‘nduja rigatoni with stracciatella), plus excellent cocktails and natural wines.
Mona Lisa Miami Miami Beach
At this dynamic Miami Beach spot, the aesthetics take inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting (and the restaurant’s namesake), but it’s far from the bucolic scenes behind the lady with the smile. On the menu, expect sticky short ribs, crispy lobster, and tableside caviar bumps with tequila shots. And the night only goes on from there.
Mother Wolf Miami Design District
Once you take in the spectacle of Roman influences throughout the space — Murano glass chandeliers, terrazzo floors gold marble tables — you get to the root of chef Evan Funke’s menu. The staples are all here: cacio e pepe, rigatoni alla carbonara, pizzas, fried squash blossoms, and the cream-filled maritozzi, or Rome’s most famous dessert.
Brother’s Keeper Miami Beach
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
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
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
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.
