Michelle Bernstein will be very busy during this year's Art Basel.

The James Beard Award-winning chef will not only operate two pop-ups at Miami Beach Botanical Garden, but she will also be the official caterer for Art Basel events.

Slated to open December 2, the pop-ups will be modeled after Michy's and Crumb on Parchment.

The first, dubbed Michy's Miami Beach Pop-Up, will seat 100 guests per night and offer a four-course meal. The menu will be created exclusively for the pop-up and will cost $135 per person -- plus an optional $55 for wine pairings.

Things will be a little more casual at the Garden Café. There, Bernstein will proffer a bill of fare similar to what she serves in the Design District: salads, sandwiches, soups, pastries, and layer cakes.

"To have the opportunity to showcase Miami's culinary flavors to such a discerning and intellectual audience of that, which frequents Art Basel in Miami Beach, is a great pleasure," she says.

Michy's Miami Beach will be open Tuesday, December 2, through Saturday, December 7, with seatings available at 6:30 and 9 p.m. Tickets are available at michysmiami.com, or call 305-759-2001 for more information. Reservations are required.

The Garden Café will operate Tuesday, December 2, through Sunday, December 8, and will be open Sunday through Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Thursday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome at the café.
