15 September 21-27, 2023 miaminewtimes.com | browardpalmbeach.com New Times | Contents | Letters | news | night+Day | CuLture | Cafe | MusiC | Cote Miami Simon Kim has brought Cote, his New York cross between a Korean barbecue restaurant and a traditional steakhouse, to the Design District. The restaurant offers a selection of Waygu beef, including American Waygu and A5 Japanese Wagyu — the latter sourced from the Miyazaki prefecture, where true Wagyu are raised. The steaks are dry-aged for a minimum of 45 days in house and then seasoned with a mixture of British Maldon, Himalayan pink, and Korean thousand-day salts before being presented raw and cooked to order tableside. If you have a taste for cav- iar, Cote’s menu includes Regiis Ova Kaluga Royal Hybrid and Petrossian Tsar Imperial Daurenki caviar. It came as no surprise in 2022 when Cote Miami earned a Michelin star. 3900 NE Second Ave., Miami; 305-434- 4668; cotemiami.com CY Chinese Restaurant The minute you step into this Sichuan-style North Miami Beach hideaway, your senses fall prey to the overwhelming perfume of ren- dered beef fat and chili oil. Take, for example, the hot pot, in which beef fat is the central in- gredient; the rich, savory aroma is the yard- stick by which most Chinese folks judge the quality of hot pot. A simple chicken broth, made by simmering carcasses with ginger and garlic for three hours, is poured on top just before the dish is sent out to the dining room. Bring a big group so you can order as many of the accouterments as possible. Also be sure to pace yourself: One of the most joy- ous moments of hot pot comes at the very end when the broth and spices have reduced, along with everything that’s been cooked in them, into a rich, flavorful brew that makes the final few bites truly special. 1242 NE 163rd St., North Miami Beach; 305-947-3838; www.cychineserestaurant.com Doce Provisions Lisetty Llampalla and Justin Sherrer run Doce Provisions, a gastropub that epitomizes Miami in a nutshell: part Cuban, part Ameri- can. The original restaurant, located in the center of bustling Little Havana, seats only about a dozen patrons, who come for this perfect marriage of dishes: Cuban sand- wiches and fried chicken, tostones and disco truffle fries, lechón asado buns and shrimp po’ boy tacos. The restaurant became so pop- ular that there are now two additional loca- tions — one in Brickell and another at the Shoma Bazaar food hall in Doral. 541 SW 12th Ave., Miami; 786-452-0161; doceprovi- sions.com/doce-provisions-little-havana. Doma Tucked into Miami’s ever-evolving Wyn- wood neighborhood, Doma has blended clas- sic Italian flavors with a dash of innovation since opening in 2018. The chic, minimalist ambiance is warmly welcoming, great for a date night, hanging out with friends, or meet- ing the in-laws. Cacio e pepe pasta, a signa- ture dish, surprises with a delicate floral twist from Szechuan black pepper, while the soft egg, a starter, is abetted by a Parmesan espuma. Topnotch cuisine and attentive ser- vice have earned Doma its rightful spot as a vibrant player in the neighborhood, drawing devoted locals and curious newcomers alike. 35 NE 26th St., Miami; 786-953-6946; domawynwood.com Eating House Miami As one of Miami’s first true pop-up restau- rants, Eating House stands as a culinary gem not just for its creative riff-style menu, but also for its ability to pivot and expand with- out losing sight of its ethos: delivering sim- ple, well-executed fare. When Miami native and Chopped champ Giorgio Rapicavoli opened in 2011, the popular Coral Gables restaurant introduced diners to dishes that are now cult classics. While Rapicavoli’s ro- tating specials continue to offer edible ex- ploration, mainstays have become forever favorites. Take the heirloom tomatoes pre- pared with a fish sauce vinaigrette, peanuts, and coconut milk. Or the housemade tater tots complemented by a Coca-Cola-spiked ketchup. And you can’t scroll the Eating House Instagram feed without a glimpse of the bucatini carbonara: a warm egg yolk mixed tableside into a generous bowl of dente pasta coated in a black pepper cream sauce flecked with nibs of heritage bacon and black truffle — it’s a dish that will haunt you with cravings months later. Pro tip: Don’t sleep on the weekend brunch. 128 Giralda Ave., Coral Gables; 786-580-3745; eatinghousemiami.com El Mago de las Fritas Sure, El Mago de las Fritas dispenses diner- like fare from its old-school cafeteria-esque dining room. But you’re not here for just any dish. You’re here for the Cuban hamburgers, AKA fritas. From the orange-hued beef cho- rizo patties to the almost-too-soft Cuban rolls and the topping of handmade potato sticks, El Mago’s frita is one of the best iterations in the Magic City. You can order a basic frita, but se- riously consider a double with cheese. What- ever you do, don’t forget to add a fried egg on top. Look for the “Big Magic” — a Big Mac-like frita with a tostone as the middle bun.
