The best new restaurants in Miami run the gamut from a 1930s-inspired steakhouse in Bal Harbour to a fried chicken sandwich shop in Coral Gables.

Fooq’s

The original Fooq’s was an eleven-table nook near Club Space downtown, a genuine “if you know you know” spot that shuttered in 2021 and spent five years away. It came back in January in a very different form: a 14,000-square-foot former warehouse in Little River with three-story ceilings, a custom wood-fire grill, and a Persian-influenced American menu. Roel Alcudia, who ran kitchens like Mandolin and The Cypress Room back in the day (the OG’s know), just joined as Culinary Director with a brand new menu. Seems like if you haven’t been yet, there’s no better time to check it out

Pro Tip: The $95 Fooq’s Feast is the move for groups – shared dishes across the menu, and you come out well under the à la carte average.
