The Best 10 New Restaurants In Miami To Check Out Now
October 2020: The food and drink landscape is vastly different than it was last month now that Florida moved into Phase 3, and Miami is somewhere adjacent. We’re seeing fewer new openings as established restaurants work to resume business, but a few newbies have made it to this list. There’s Caja Caliente’s second outpost, a stationary food truck parked in the Design District. Buya also opened up in the vicinity, bringing izakaya-style dining to Wynwood. And not too far from both is Ironside Pizza’s adorable new bakery, La Giulietta, where fresh-baked pastries and strong Italian coffee flow freely.
You rule the city’s food scene: You’ve wined and dined at the best restaurants in Miami, and if someone wants to know where to get brunch in Miami, you’re their go-to egg master (and pancake master… and mimosa master!). The coffee shops in Miami? They know your name, they know your order and they know you mean business. But there’s always something new to discover, and new to learn—that’s part of the reason you love the Magic City. Stay up to date—and stay reigning supreme—with our guide to the best new restaurants Miami is welcoming to town right now.
1. Caja Caliente
From food truck to brick-and-mortar to food truck again, Caja Caliente’s second location, now open in the Design District, harkens back to the Cuban restaurant’s early days spent roving the streets of Miami. Owner Mika León is keeping her truck parked this time, slinging her signature Cuban tacos, handheld bites (such as the empanadas and yuca rellena), pan con lechón and other lunchtime favorites. Caja serves an extensive menu for being a small truck (there’s lots of fresh seafood on deck) and even provides shaded outdoor seating for folks looking to enjoy their meal onsite.
2. Buya Yakitori + Izakaya
Buya (not to be confused with Bulla, another popular after-work spot) brings the izakaya concept to Wynwood. Japan’s answer to the British pub, it’s a laidback restaurant for folks whose dining preferences include craft beer and upmarket street food. The latter category is stacked with shareable choices like the assorted small plates of skewered meats grilled on charcoal and Tokyo-style corn, plus bigger dishes you can keep all to yourself, such as the duck dumpling hotpot. Seek it out on that one cold day this fall when you’re craving something seasonal that’s not made with pumpkin.
3. La Giulietta
Ironside Pizza is one of those neighborhood gems that still merits the overused idiom and now its sister bakery, La Giulietta, is expanding on the notion. Located just next door to its pizzeria sister, the cozy, sunlit space doles out fresh pastries and strong Italian coffee along with an assortment of wood-fired bread. Get flatbread-style pizzas and artisanal toasts (the avo with poached eggs is a favorite at brunch) plus fresh soups and salads.

Miami Real Estate Market Update:
Family Of Late Video Game Executive Sells Palm Beach Mansion To GOYA Foods Heir
The family of the late Ryan Ashley Brant, an executive for successful video game companies, sold a Palm Beach mansion for $11.35 million.
The 7,743-square-foot home at 111 El Brillo Way was acquired by 111 El Brillo LLC, managed by Andrew Unanue, the head of Pennsylvania-based AUA Capital Management and part of the family that founded Goya Foods. The buyer obtained a $7.2 million mortgage from M&T Bank.
The price equated to $1,466 per square foot. The seller was represented by Christian Angle of Christian Angle Real Estate while the buyer worked with Dana Koch of the Corcoran Group.
The home last traded for $6.6 million in 2011. It was built on the 0.69-acre site in 1995. It’s one lot west of the beach. The British Colonial Estate has seven bedrooms, 8.5 bathrooms, an outdoor loggia, a library, a home office, a balcony and a pool.
Brant was the co-founder of Take Two Interactive Software, the holding company that owns Rockstar Games, which developed the popular Grand Theft Auto games. He also founded GreenScreen Interactive Software. He died in 2019 at 47.
Unanue is the grandson of the founders of Goya Foods, one of the largest producers of Latin foods. He was chief operating officer of Goya Foods, but he left the company in 2004 to start a family office that invests in various businesses.
