If you can’t make it to the track this year to chow down on the frankly annoying frank (yea - I said it), we have compiled a list of wondrous opportunities throughout the Magic City for you to sip and sup on.
The Loews Bistro Collins
I discovered Golden Goat Classic Osetra Caviar a few months back at Collin Cowie’s dinner party. And calling it delicious would be an understatement. Golden Goat since gone viral with that $100 caviar-topped hot dog, and now you too can enjoy it from April 30 to May 3rd at the iconic Loews oceanfront resort’s Bistro Collins. This exclusive steakhouse menu will offer caviar on everything - like Fast Lane Caviar Sliders with Black Opal wagyu, quail egg, aioli, micro-greens, and a generous hit of caviar. The menu’s designed to pair with the kind of wine or martini that makes you forget you’re not actually trackside. So why not sip on a Belvedere 10 martini served with a caviar-topped oyster? J’adore!
Pro Tip: You don’t need race credentials at The Loews, just a reservation so take note of what might be the only place all weekend where you can actually sit down, relax, and still feel like you’re part of the action. @loewsmiami @goldengoatcaviar // 1601 Collins Ave., South Beach
Rosemary’s
I’m simply obsessed with Rosemary’s in Wynwood. Aside from their culinary expertise under the helm of Chef Justin Garriga, their beverage program is also worthy of noting. Crafted specifically for the big week, the Grand Prix Sour was conceptualized by their bar wizards and is prepared with Bacardi 8, Braulio, fresh lime, egg white, and Angoustra Bitters. It’s worth the visit!
Pro Tip: It pairs well with their Calamari Fritti. @rosemarys.miami // 322 NW 25th St., Wynwood
Giselle Miami
If you’re dreaming of decadence with some of the best views in Downtown Miami, this rooftop is offering a show-stopping F1 Flaming Surf & Turf for a very McLaren priced $500! In proper Giselle fashion, the F1 Flaming dish is flamboyant - boasting a table-side presentation of 48 oz Australian wagyu tomahawk and 2 lb Maine lobster designed to serve 2–4.
Pro Tip: Situated above E11ven, pop on down after for some debauchery. Because, why not?! @giselle.miami // 15 NE 11th St., Downtown
Casa Neos
Casa Neos is generally not open for Friday brunch….but guess what? In proper Greg Galy fashion, the man behind Riviera Dining Group has flipped the script in honor of the high-speed week. Case Neos is partnering with Shellona St. Tropez for the three-day soiree - this means starting May 1st you can sup on their beloved Greek Omelette and Avocado Aegean Toast, alongside lunch favorites such as the Faroe Island Salmon Burger and 7oz Grilled Hanger Steak while jamming out to ADRIATIQUE! Tres chic, as per their usual.
Pro Tip: If you cant make Friday, on Saturday the 2nd at the Beach Club you can rock out to Mestiza, and on Sunday May 3rd to Seth Troxler. @casa_neos // 40 SW N. River Dr., Riverside
Hell’s Kitchen (takeover) by Chef Michelle Tribble
A two-day Race Week takeover at Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen by Chef Michelle Tribble is not to be missed. Tribble is turning it up with her five-course tasting menu, alongside a Formula 1 car installation wrapped in Ramsay branding, rotating works from F1 artist Paul Oz, and a curated drop of rare memorabilia from F1 Authentics. It’s part dinner, part spectacle, and very much a scene. On Saturday evening, guests can enjoy a dinner or on Sunday May 3, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. you can opt for brunch/lunch!
Pro Tip: Book the Sunday lunch if you actually want to enjoy Race Day. You’ll get the full experience, without the crowds, chaos, or sunburn. @hellskitchen // 333 Biscayne Blvd. Way, Downtown
The Dead Flamingo Bar (takeover) for Jack’s Garage
As part of the Jack Daniel’s and McLaren Racing fan experience that is touring with Formula 1, this three-day pop-up is cool for the casual. If you’re 21+ and in the mood, hit Jack’s Garage - a free, high-energy activation that will feature live music, DJ sets, and most-importantly exclusive Jack Daniel’s cocktails. There will also be our beloved McLaren F1 show cars and racing simulators.
Pro Tip: Drinking and driving IRL is a NO, but nobody’s stopping you from kicking back a Jack and getting in the F1 racing simulator. @thedeadflamingobar // 1728 SW 8th St., Little Havana
Andres Carne de Res
Although Andres Carne de Res created no specific dishes created for F1 week, this experience is cool AF for fans of the risky sport. On Wednesday, April 29th, head over to Andres’ Lincoln Road location for the perfectly programed evening. Starting at 5 p.m., enjoy their Happy Hour, followed by a “Stop & Go experience” (whatever that means) with Bon Bon Bum. And for the kicker - at 9, there will be a LIVE Q&A with Colombian racing legends, the father-and-son duo Juan Pablo & Sebastián Montoya.
Pro Tip: Stay after the Q&A for the party, because if you’ve ever been to ACDR in Colombia, you know it will be a banger. @andrescarnederes_miami // 455 Lincoln Rd., South Beach
