Next month, on May 9th, Miami will welcome a new food hall—Time Out Market Miami, the first outpost of this food hall in the United States outside the infamous Time Out Market Lisbon, which is considered the number one culinary attraction in the destination. The new eatery, located in Miami Beach, will bring together some of the city’s best food, drinks, and cultural experiences under one roof.
On site, guests can experiences dishes from James Beard award-winning chef Norman Van Aken who will toss up artisan-style pizza at Beach Pie, celebrated Chef Miguel Massens who will reign the demonstration kitchen for three months, and well-known local bars such as the Broken Shaker, Sweet Liberty, and Generator Hostel Miami will be creating cocktails.
Located off Lincoln Road and 16th Avenue, Time Out Market Miami, will house 18,000 sq. ft. of space featuring 18 eateries, a demo kitchen, and three bars. The market will be open daily from 11 a.m. (some eateries will start serving coffee, juices, and breakfast at 8 a.m.) to 11 p.m. and on Fridays and Saturdays until midnight.
“We couldn’t be more excited to open the doors to Time Out Market Miami in this great city; it is our first Time Out Market outside of Europe and in the US. We look forward to adding something new to South Beach and making Time Out Market a must-visit destination for both locals and visitors,” says Didier Souillat, CEO of Time Out Market in press materials. “Our guests can choose from culinary masterpieces, delicious tacos, vegan fare, sushi bowls, beautiful patisserie and more. True to our mission to democratize fine dining, everything will be affordable. When Time Out Market Miami opens, the hottest tables in town will be communal.”
The demonstration kitchen will allow for a lineup of rotating chefs from up-and-coming culinary gurus to accomplished chefs looking to reach new audiences who will showcase their talents. The first chef to head up the demo kitchen will be Miami-born, Cuban-American Chef Miguel Massens who has worked at Michelin-starred restaurants such as Daniel in New York and The French Laundry in California’s Napa Valley. Massens will head up the demo kitchen for three months as he showcases dishes from his forthcoming restaurant, Anatolia. Diners will also have the chance to experience a 5-course prix-fixe tasting menu on select nights while sitting at the only open-kitchen counter in the market while they watch the chef in action.
