About Ariete

Ariete stands as one of Miami's most celebrated dining destinations, earning its Michelin star through Chef Michael Beltran's masterful fusion of Cuban heritage and French culinary technique. Located in the heart of Coconut Grove, this upscale restaurant showcases progressive American fare with deep roots in Miami's Cuban-American culture.

The modern farmhouse-style setting provides an intimate backdrop for dishes like the theatrical Canard à la Presse (duck press), venison with truffle twice-baked potato, and the iconic Florida Orange dessert. With its commitment to locally sourced ingredients and seasonal menus, Ariete delivers both familiar comfort and adventurous innovation.

The dining room, outdoor patio, and bar seating create versatile spaces for romantic dinners, special celebrations, and culinary exploration. At $100+ per person, Ariete represents fine dining at its most accessible—reservations are required, but the experience rewards with every meticulously crafted course.
