In a town filled with clubstaurants and fancy out-of-town imports, a low-key, no-fuss, high-quality wine bar was a welcome addition to Miami's dining scene when it arrived in 2024. Located in Little River, Magie opened as a counter-service wine and snack bar where guests pair bottles of wine or craft beer with no-fuss snacks in a lovely, dimly lit setting. The snacks range from tinned fish and caviar to an array of charcuterie choices, designed so you can vibe as if you're having a wine night at home. It's the perfect spot to top off a date-night dinner or to catch up with an old friend. Founder Caroline Strauss, a veteran of the Miami restaurant scene, wanted to create "a pop-up space for the community to hang and do their thing" — a description that fits Magie to a T. (And so popular that a Coconut Grove location debuted in 2025.)
