New On Resy: Miami’s Newest Restaurant Openings

From the legendary Cipriani family comes a cafe-market at Mr. C Residences that distills their signature Italian hospitality into something far more everyday. Here, espresso, housemade pastas, and a rotating spread of pastries and gelato carry the same polish as their formal dining rooms, just in a more flexible, all-day format. Drop in for a quick coffee or linger into aperitivo time at this new neighborhood refuge.

In a neighborhood that keeps reinventing itself, Le Bouchon du Grove endures as the real thing. Paul Bocuse-trained chef Christian Ville has spent three decades cooking the unfussy, from-scratch French food that defines the classic bouchons of Lyon, France: duck leg confit, moules marinières with proper frites, onion soup crusted thick with Gruyère. A complimentary glass of Champagne arrives the moment you sit down — the signal that you’re leaving the bustling Grove behind for a meal worth lingering over. 

David Foulquier’s intimate Persian-French bistro spent years as downtown Miami’s best-kept secret. The Little River reincarnation is its grown-up self: 14,000 square feet of wood-fire ambition, with sharable Persian plates (think housemade za’atar bread with delicious dips, crispy rice tahdig, and spiced kebabs) to a high-ceilinged dining room that feels as expansive and arrived-at as the city itself. When dinner winds down, the Lion’s Den lounge upstairs is just getting started. 

The L.A.-born supper club that made chicken tenders a luxury item has a home on Biscayne Bay. The kitchen plays it straight on the classics (those tenders, with hot honey and buttermilk ranch, are as good as advertised) while slipping in a stone crab salad that would only exist in South Florida. Add a no-photos policy, nightly live entertainment, and a waterfront terrace with boat slips, and Delilah is less a dinner reservation than an occasion. 

What happens when a Mexico City-inspired menu meets the warmth of a Coral Gables home? Casa MX channels the capital city’s layered food culture into vibrant, comfort-driven dishes — from bright ceviches and aguachiles to hearty plates like carne asada with mole negro — all designed to be shared slowly over agave-forward cocktails that give you every reason to stay. 

The sushi river at Tokyo Tuna’s South Miami outpost is exactly what it sounds like: a flowing stream of small boats carrying freshly made plates to your seat. Trust us, it’s less gimmick than it is a genuinely fun way to eat well (though you can order from a server, too). Grab the spicy tuna crispy rice when it floats by — it’s got truffle unagi sauce and perfectly crisp rice — or wait for the Jeff roll loaded with salmon, shrimp tempura, and honey with a crunch of seaweed on top. 

Cactus Club Cafe brings its Canadian-born approach to elevated everyday dining to Miami, marking only the second U.S. outpost for the brand. The expansive, high-energy space centers on a lively bar and a menu that covers a lot of ground — sushi and starters alongside pastas, steaks, and sammies. Add bold artwork, a polished-but-relaxed crowd, and frozen Bellinis that feel tailor-made for Miami, and you’ve got a place built for just about any plan. 

What looks like a great neighborhood bar turns out to also be one of Downtown Miami’s better restaurants, and that’s exactly the point. Chef-driven comfort food built around Florida-sourced ingredients means the smoked fish dip served with fried saltines and a near-legendary cheeseburger hold their own against anything in the area. Order a shell-tini — a briny martini made with oyster shell-infused gin — and settle in. 

The Living Room distills everything the storied Italian brand does best into a more intimate lounge experience. Set up like an elegant private residence, Cipriani classics, polished cocktails, and unhurried hospitality take center stage here. You can come for a drink, or extend your evening into a leisurely dinner. This is Cipriani at its most relaxed, social, and effortlessly stylish. 

This is a tasting-menu restaurant where the priorities are clear: focused cooking, serious sourcing, and very little distraction. Chef Jeremy Ford builds the menu around what’s coming off his Homestead farm, letting local ingredients shape dishes that change often. Prefer something more straightforward? Beauty & The Butcher in Coral Gables offers a more approachable, steak-driven take on Ford’s culinary philosophy. 

Aguasal brings the spirit of the Mediterranean to Miami Beach, channeling the sun-soaked flavors of Mallorca, Morocco and Mykonos. Set inside the Andaz hotel and flowing from indoor dining to an open-air patio, the all-day restaurant comes to us from chef José Andrés. Expect a seafood-forward menu of Mediterranean techniques and Florida influences, served with a sense of ease that fits the setting. 

Hailing from NYC, Wayan brings the husband-and-wife team of Cédric and Ochi Vongerichten to Wynwood, offering a vibrant, shareable menu inspired by Southeast Asia and reworked for South Florida. Expect bold flavors built around local seafood — think stone crab, Key West shrimp, and wahoo — layered with spice and precision. Trained under his father Jean-Georges (yes, that one), Cédric Vongerichten brings that culinary pedigree and personality to a French-Indonesian concept that feels novel. 

Just as its name promises, Torno Subito is back, reopening after a hiatus with a new home inside the Moore Building in the Design District — and the move suits it. The restaurant’s playful approach to Italian cooking feels right at home in a space that celebrates creativity and design. Expect familiar flavors reimagined with wit and precision, delivered in a setting that matches the food’s sense of fun. 

This live-fire steakhouse bridges Patagonian asado tradition with the flavors of coastal Italy. Run by a fellow Argentinian with a long personal friendship with the Messi family, The Amalfi Llama serves a signature Milamessi — a panko-crusted beef Milanesa draped in pomodoro and melted brie — that stems from a recipe the soccer star’s mother personally taught to the kitchen. In fact, the Messis, who have a reserved family table, are known to be regulars. 

Brooklyn Chop House takes the classic steakhouse playbook and flips it with bravado, blending premium cuts and familiar indulgence with Chinese-American flavors. This is where dim sum meets dry-aged beef. Designed for big nights out and shared dining, it’s the kind of place you come for a splurge and stay because the energy never dips. 

Key Wester Abram Bissell brings his Michelin-caliber training home here, channeling years at The Modern and Eleven Madison Park into a restaurant rooted in South Florida waters. The seafood-forward menu leans into Latin and Caribbean influence (lobster and mussel sancocho is a standout) while a fresh raw bar underscores the quality of the catch.  

This is where you bring friends to show off Miami — or where you go by yourself when you need a reminder of why you live here. Set along Biscayne Bay, the open-air restaurant pairs waterfront views with easygoing coastal fare and a scene that hums from midday through sunset. Come for the breeze and the boats sailing by, and make sure to start off with some smoked fish dip.
