Two Stephen Starr spots. One neighborhood. You’re killing us, Bal Harbour. Killing us. Wave and say bonjour to Le Zoo, a new homage to the Parisian cafés of yore for foie gras parfaits and healthy date-night Bordeaux pours. It’s now open, this is what it looks like, and this is the menu. Yes, Stephen Starr of neighboring Makoto fame has assembled a
If a new restaurant opens in Midtown and no one is around to see it, did it really open? Um... yeah, probably. But today, we need not concern ourselves with such philosophical matters. Because we all saw Apeiro Kitchen & Bar coming. Yes, that massive Mediterranean spot that you may have noticed parading its imminent arrival around Midtown is finally
Things are afoot at the Thompson. Things that are weird and wonderful and... we’re wasting time here. Let’s just get right into Talde Miami Beach, a gritty Asian joint with an affinity for ’80s and ’90s hip-hop and, apparently, shipping containers. It’s open now. (Here’s your slideshow and here’s your menu.) You have questions. We welcome questions. Fire
Kyu. It’s a Japanese word that describes the level of mastery you’ve achieved in an activity. Like, say, martial arts. Or... could be just what you’ll say when you need some duck burnt ends in your life. And so the magic word of the day is: Kyu. It’s Wynwood’s first Asian barbecue spot, it’s from two Zuma alums, and it’s open right now. Before we get
A date is a thing where one person courts another in various ways. French 27 is a sprawling new establishment that’s now open in South Beach for food-and-drink-related occasions best enjoyed in the company of others. A date at French 27 is a good idea. Let’s proceed... You’ll step inside and be greeted by a massive rose-petal-strewn fountain gurgling in
The Super Bowl in five words: Broncos. Panthers. Commercials. Beyoncé. Queso. Great. Now that that’s out of everyone’s system... Time to focus on Ichimi, a new oasis of noodle bowls, crispy pig ears and sake in the ramen-barren wilds of Coral Gables. It’s open now, and here it is in pictures. There’s a former Momi Ramen and Lure Fishbar chef cranking out
Today, we’d like to direct your attention to Miami Supercar Rooms, which is quite possibly the first automobile art gallery with a full-fledged bar and dinner scene in the country. It’s open as of today in Wynwood, and here’s what it looks like. Here now: a breakdown of the essentials... It’s a car art gallery by day. In a generously sized lot in
“This is a great movie. Thank you for taking me on this movie date. I would like some liquid-nitrogen popcorn now.” What’s that? You’re not equipped to fulfill that request? Looks like we got here just in time. The Tuck Room did, anyway. It’s a new post-movie eating and drinking establishment with fire pits, homemade guarapo cocktails and, yes, smoking
The Place: Pao by Paul Qui. It’s a new date-night contender that’s a bit Filipino, a touch Japanese and a whisper French. It’s open now at the Faena Hotel Miami Beach, and we’ve done the not-so-dirty work of properly surveying the land for you. Here now: our findings... The Hype: There’s a big-time chef behind it. The Reality: Yep. That’d be Paul
The Grove renaissance. It’s going to happen any minute now. Any minute now... Three... two... and here’s Ariete, a new place to eat a few grilled oysters, drink some wine and get to know the occasional special someone a little better.
