Miami’s Global Palate: Why You Need to Visit Wayan

It’s wonderful to see top chefs opening restaurants with more different ethnic cuisines in Miami and doing it well, from the menu offerings and  exciting and very different taste sensations, to the décor and service. Such is the new French-Indonesian Wayan in Wynwood that’s the creation of dynamic husband and wife duo Cedric and Ochi Vongerichten. You might recognize the last name --- Cedric is the son of star chef Jean Georges. The couple brought the Wayan concept from downtown Manhattan where it opened in 2019. It’s currently one of the only Indonesian restaurants in the Michelin Guide in America.

A New Premier Spot for Celebrations: Bagatelle Miami River

Several girlfriends’ birthdays are coming up and now I know the new restaurant that’s a wonderful new choice for a dinner celebration, Bagatelle Miami River. Many restaurants say they’re “an experience” but this one really is: the lovely outdoor terrace inspired by the golden age of the Cote d’Azur with view of the river and Miami skyline; eye popping presentations, many tableside; delicious cuisine from Michelin trained chefs;  live music; and warm, friendly service. And then there’s the Sunday brunch in a large bar area with cabanas, live music and dancing,  with "a beach vibe".

The Bar, The Food, The Feel: Why We’ve Already Made a Return Visit

Coconut Grove is fast becoming “the” place to be, so no surprise that the savvy Major Food Group recently opened the second Miami outpost of its very popular Carbone Italian restaurant here, albeit with new twists and a new name: Carbone Vino. The concept leans into a wine-centric menu while paying homage to the original restaurant on Thompson Street in New York. It reminded me of New York’s Little Italy in its neighborhood feel, though a little “glammed up,” comfortable, and with professional and friendly staff. Carbone Vino has the signature restaurant dishes and some new additions. We really enjoyed it.
