Dinner was phenomenal, from the steak tartar and carpaccio octopus to the rabbit paella and Chilean sea bass. The sea bass was so great we had to get 2. Really we would've loved to get 2 of everything!

Fantastic. They had a decent number of gluten free options. The anchovies were the best I’ve had in the US. Paella flavor balance was superb. Oh and the chocolate ganache was actually the best dessert I’ve ever had. I’d fly to Miami from Cleveland just for that dessert.

We live an hour north in Delray, and this is still our go to dinner date spot. Dishes are light, and flavors are intentional. We really appreciate the consistency here.

12/10 will be back. Don’t sleep on this spot!
The charred oysters are not a dish, they are a life event. Smoky, briny, buttery perfection that made me question every decision I’ve ever made that didn’t involve ordering more of them.
Pro tip: be like me. Order the charred oysters as a starter. Then, when the server asks about dessert, ignore all social norms and order the charred oysters again. Sweet? No. Satisfying in a deeply emotional way? Absolutely.

One of my Miami favorites. Service is always thoughtful and excellent and food is so solid. I can never leave without the pa amb tomaquet and José is the sweetest ❤️

Small but well designed restaurant with a nice ambience. The service was wonderful - we really enjoyed all the staff. The boquerones with the tomate were delicious, we ordered it with a side of their toasted bread which was the perfect crispy exterior & soft fluffy interior. The steak tartare was fantastic - had ours topped with a soft fried egg to add that luscious yolk. Paella for main course - was a special with rabbit & escargot. Finished with the creme Catalan - delicious.
This is my go-to for a healthy lunch! Absolutely amazing everytime! So healthy, delicious and amazing vibes! I always feel so good after eating since they use raw ingredients and no seed oils! They also have GF options! I recommend getting the salon, sweet potatoes, carrots and beet sauce. So delish! One of my favorite lunches in Miami!

If you only have one night to dine in Miami, this is the spot! Chefs Lomas and Cabrera put their hearts into every dish, and the team makes you feel like family. Great wine selection and top-tier music. ¡Gracias!

I love this place - easily one of the tastiest restaurants in Miami. The atmosphere is simple, but the food more than makes up for it. Every dish is packed with flavor and creativity, with combinations that feel both unique and comforting. A real hidden gem for anyone who cares about amazing food

I’ll fully admit—I’ve written a review for Niu Kitchen before, but it deserves another. I’ve been in this industry for 16 years, worked alongside some of the top chefs in the game, and grew up with my grandmother, who was a chef at the Waldorf. I’d like to think I know what I’m talking about. And I can say with absolute confidence: Niu Kitchen isn’t just one of my favorite restaurants in the U.S.—it is my favorite restaurant in the United States.
This little slice of Spain in downtown Miami is understated at first glance. But once you sit down, you’ll feel it: the warmth, the soul, the authenticity. What sets Niu apart—beyond its incendiary food—is its people. While so many restaurants around them are turning and burning through staff, Niu has kept the same loyal faces for nearly a decade. That kind of consistency and heart is rare in this industry, and it shows.
I’m grateful this gem survived the pandemic, because they deserve every bit of praise. The food is transportive. I lose myself every time I dine here—each bite better than the last. The Bronzino tartar is a must, the legendary ous (only on Tuesdays, so book ahead!) is a revelation, and the squid ink arroz will stop you in your tracks. Don’t miss Chef Deme’s new clam dish, a family recipe from his mother—it’s soulful, heartfelt cooking at its best.
For me, no trip to Miami is complete without a visit to Niu Kitchen. It will forever hold the most special place in my heart and truly feels like home.
