April can best be described as the month of healthy eating in South Florida.

Jackson Hall opened with six health-conscious concepts, while Vegan Fine Foods offers an entire marketplace of plant-based goods.

Other notable openings include Chotto Matte in Miami Beach and Malibu Farm at the Eden Roc.

In May, look forward to the opening of Stephen Starr's El Vez and Tap 42's largest location.
