November saw the openings of additional locations of popular restaurants. Planta Queen, the Asian-centric sister of South Beach's Planta, opened in Coconut Grove; TacoCraft opened an additional restaurant in Fort Lauderdale; and Pura Vida introduced a store in Miami Beach.

Sadly, Miami lost two of its most innovative restaurants. Ember and Kaido were casualties of the COVID-19 pandemic, with chef/partner Brad Kilgore officially deciding to not reopen either Design District spot. 

In December, look for Marcus Samuelsson to finally open Red Rooster and for Bunnie Cakes to arise in Downtown Doral.
