MIKA Unveils Stunning New Interiors at The Plaza Coral Gables, Elevating Miami’s Dining Scene
MIKA by six Michelin-starred chef Michael White has unveiled its lavish new interiors at The Plaza Coral Gables, a masterpiece designed by the acclaimed Bishop Design. As White’s first standalone venture in Miami, MIKA is the result of his collaboration with Alex Pirez and Matt Safchik, offering a refined yet approachable dining experience. The restaurant highlights White’s signature take on coastal flavors, blending the best of Italy, France, and beyond with South Florida’s rich seafood and fresh produce.
The menu is a celebration of culinary artistry, featuring delicate crudos, house-made pastas, and expertly grilled proteins. Guests can pair their meals with classic cocktails and selections from an extensive wine list, housed in a stunning 1,700-bottle cellar. Devotees of Chef White’s cuisine will recognize iconic dishes like lobster burrata and fusilli with bone marrow, while also delighting in new offerings designed to capture Miami’s essence—such as spaghetti with blue crab and caviar.
MIKA’s philosophy is all about balancing high-quality ingredients with uncomplicated elegance. As White describes it, MIKA is “truffles in blue jeans,” where refined flavors meet effortless sophistication, all infused with the warmth of genuine hospitality.
The restaurant’s interior design reflects a timeless Mediterranean aesthetic, with natural stone elements, warm textures, and handcrafted lighting that create an inviting and luxurious ambiance. MIKA aspires to become a neighborhood favorite, offering the perfect setting for everything from intimate dinners to business meetings and chic evenings out.
With its exquisite cuisine, impeccable design, and welcoming atmosphere, MIKA is set to redefine Miami’s dining scene, bringing an unparalleled level of sophistication to The Plaza Coral Gables.
