Miami’s food scene is leveling up in 2025, and we’re here for it! From swanky Italian fine dining spots to cozy neighborhood bistros, the Magic City is getting a fresh wave of restaurants that are about to take over your Instagram feed—and your taste buds. Whether you're into high-end steak dinners, beachfront brunches, or Latin fusion with a side of vibey cocktails, these are the must-visit new restaurants in Miami this year.
📍 1350 Collins Ave, Miami Beach
If you’re looking for an upscale Italian experience that screams dolce vita, Donatella is set to be your new go-to. Expect house-made pastas like Black Truffle Cacio e Pepe and Linguini alla Vongole, plus Wagyu Ribeye and Dover Sole that’ll make you question every steakhouse you’ve ever been to. The chic, modern space inside a historic South Beach hotel adds to the drama—because what’s dinner without a little fancy?
📍 448 Española Way, Miami Beach
This one’s got dual personalities—The Window serves up classic American street food (think burgers, crispy chicken, and loaded fries), while The Joyce is a hidden 45-seat steakhouse with moody lighting and exclusive vibes. Expect premium cuts, bold flavors, and a speakeasy-style ambiance where you’ll want to be seen. Oh, and if you manage to get a table—flex it on the ‘gram.
📍 699 NE 1st Ave, Miami
Miami is getting a taste of Chicago’s iconic Maple & Ash, and it’s about to shake up the steakhouse game. This isn’t just any steakhouse—this is where you order the Fire-Roasted Seafood Tower (yes, it’s actually on fire) or the bold “I Don’t Give a F@k Chef’s Tasting Menu” if you’re feeling extra. The two-story, 22,000-square-foot space brings big energy, luxury, and a menu that guarantees a decadent night out.
📍 Wynwood
Casual Italian eats with farm-fresh ingredients? Say less. Rosemary’s is bringing a slice of the Italian countryside to Wynwood, featuring handmade pastas, sourdough pizzas, and spritz cocktails in a warm, rustic setting. Expect a laid-back yet impossibly cool vibe, making it the perfect spot for date night or a long, wine-filled lunch.
📍 Sweetwater
If colorful, tropical, and effortlessly fun is your vibe, Factoría de Azúcar is about to be your new favorite spot. The menu is stacked with salmon crispy rice, Peruvian-style fried seafood platters, and over-the-top milkshakes. Pair it with a cocktail that looks straight out of a Tulum beach club, and you’ve got yourself a whole situation.
📍 Brickell
Bringing Côte d’Azur vibes to Brickell, Claudie is a Mediterranean dream. Picture yourself sipping a rosé spritz, nibbling on lobster pasta, and living your best Euro summer fantasy (without the flight to Nice). The elegant yet chill decor, inspired by Picasso, makes it perfect for a boujee brunch or a sophisticated night out.
📍 Miami Gardens
If you love a lively atmosphere, solid bar snacks, and a hookah sesh with friends, Cru Lounge is about to be your spot. This Southern-favorite chain is making its way to Miami Gardens, bringing music, cocktails, and a whole lot of energy. The kind of place you hit up when you’re not ready to go home yet.
📍 Miami Beach
Brunch lovers, this one’s for you. Avalon by Day is serving up classic breakfast and lunch favorites right on South Beach. Expect avocado toast, burgers, fluffy pancakes, and a whole lot of people-watching from one of the best patios in the city. On weekends, things get extra spicy with DJ-fueled brunch parties.
📍 Little Havana
Bistro 8 is all about Mexican-inspired comfort food with a twist. Highlights include shrimp tostadas, whole roasted fish with adobo, and pork belly al pastor with pineapple pico. Think bold flavors, a cozy space, and an energy that feels straight out of Mexico City—but right in the heart of Little Havana.
📍 South Miami
For those who love a chill, cozy bistro with amazing food, Kitchen 57 is a must-try. The industrial-chic space is matched by a killer menu featuring baby back ribs, hand-cut fries, short rib grilled cheese, and steak frites. And let’s not forget the fluffy, oversized popovers they serve at brunch.
Miami’s 2025 restaurant scene is coming in hot, with new openings that range from luxe Italian fine dining to vibey beachside brunches and everything in between. Whether you're looking for your next date night spot, a boujee steakhouse, or a late-night hookah lounge, the Magic City has something fresh and exciting for you.
So, where are you eating first?
