New Miami Restaurant Scene: February 2025 Roundup

Miami's restaurant scene never stops evolving, and February brought us several exciting new openings worth your attention. As your local food guide, I've rounded up the most promising new spots that opened this month. While I haven't visited all of them yet, these are the places that have caught my eye and deserve a spot on your radar.

Japanese Invasion

Dojo Izakaya (148 Giralda Ave, Coral Gables) has already made it onto my must-visit list. Created by the team behind Zitz Sum, this Japanese spot offers pork chop tonkatsu, kampachi with yuzu kosho, and okonomiyaki. Their octopus yakitori looks particularly impressive!

Over in Brickell Key, Ikigai (615 Brickell Key Dr) brings Mexico City-style sushi to Miami. Their menu features visually stunning tiraditos, nigiri, and handrolls that I'm hoping taste as fresh as they look.

NYC Makes Its Mark (Again)

In typical Miami fashion, we've welcomed another New York transplant. Rosemary's Miami has landed in Wynwood (322 NW 25th St), bringing their herb garden concept to our city. Expect pasta dishes, branzino, tuna crudo, and plenty of their namesake herb grown right in their garden.

For Wine Lovers

The Grape Ape (7400 SW 57th Ct, South Miami) might sound like an experimental fruit, but it's actually a charming new wine bar. They're serving Spanish-inspired small bites like manchego croquetas, patatas bravas, and pan con tomate to complement their wine selection.

French Flair in Brickell

Claudie (1101 Brickell Ave) brings French cuisine with a seafood focus to Brickell. Look for prawns, dover sole, and niçoise salad on the menu. And yes, in true Brickell style, there's a $350 wagyu porterhouse and a "smart casual" dress code.

Quick Bites

• The Spot (3301 Coral Way): A new coffee shop serving pastries and iced lattes (not to be confused with the barber shop chain!)
• Arcano (259 Giralda Ave, Coral Gables): Latin American flavors divided into "land, earth, and sea" categories
• A'Riva (1766 Bay Rd, Miami Beach): Mediterranean-Italian spot with tableside eggplant parm (I'm curious to see what that involves!)
• Amand (635 Brickell Key Dr): Health-focused café with açai bowls, sandwiches, and smoothies
• Fogo De Chao (8815 SW 72nd Pl, Kendall): The famous Brazilian steakhouse opens its third Miami location
• Tacology Wynwood (2701 NW Second Ave): Their third Miami outpost, bringing more $13 tacos to Wynwood
