Editorial review•Feb 24, 2026

Avenue 31 Café arrives in Bal Harbour with a biography that does genuine explanatory work. The restaurant is a direct transplant of the Monte Carlo original at 31 Avenue Princesse Grace, conceived and operated by founders Stefano Frittella and Alexa Carcelli alongside executive chef Julian Baker, whose time is reportedly divided between Miami and Monaco. That transatlantic structure matters: this is not a Miami restaurant reaching toward European sophistication but a European all-day café opening its first American address inside one of the country's most deliberately affluent retail corridors — Bal Harbour Shops, second floor. The navy walls, white onyx ceramic counters, bronze fixtures, and light wood surfaces appear to reflect a house aesthetic already established elsewhere, not a decorating exercise assembled for this market. For a guest who has lunched in Monaco and expects consistency rather than reinvention, that specificity is presumably the entire point. The menu is reported to function coherently across the full day — an ambition that all-day dining rooms frequently announce and rarely sustain. Breakfast centers on the Egg Benedict Croissant and the Italian Omelet with Prosciutto Cotto and Stracchino cheese, both of which suggest a kitchen oriented toward considered enrichment rather than social-media volume. Later in the day, the Cacio e Pepe — made with Costa Rican organic peppercorns — is the dish that invites the most scrutiny: sourcing a single spice to that level of specificity is either a mark of genuine rigor or a menu-writing affectation, and accounts from diners suggest the former. The Tuna Tartare with crisp tempura and soy truffle and the Spicy Rigatoni Burrata complete a menu that is Italian in foundation without being rigidly regional about it. The outdoor terrace is consistently cited as the preferable seat when Miami's heat cooperates. A weekday lunch is the more deliberate visit; weekend brunch draws considerably heavier traffic. The Cacio e Pepe and Tuna Tartare are the dishes the kitchen's reputation appears to rest on — start there.

Editorial review by James Whitfield

Alma Cubana sits on Miami Beach at a zip code that usually means tourist-facing Cuban food with a faded mojo and prices calibrated to people who won't be back.
