Nearly 20 restaurants and cafés opened in Miami in February, making the notoriously short month (that was longer than usual) one of the busiest so far in 2024.

In February, a whopping 18 restaurants, speakeasies, and bakery/cafés opened across Miami and Broward County. From Lucky Cat's highly anticipated Miami Beach opening and Hampton Social's frosé-filled debut in Brickell to the openings of popular New York Chinese restaurant RedFarm in Coconut Grove and New York's beloved bakery/café, Maman, opening in Wynwood, foodies have plenty of new spots to check out in March.

Here's a look at what opened and closed this past month in the Magic City and what's coming next to Miami's booming culinary scene.
