Niu Kitchen

Niu Kitchen brings the flavors of Barcelona to Downtown Miami through a chalkboard menu of authentic Catalan small plates crafted by Chef Deme Lomas. Housed in a rustic, dimly lit space with glossy concrete floors, the restaurant pairs a come-as-you-are attitude with serious cooking, think charbroiled oysters branded tableside with a hot coal, branzino tartare with white garlic cold soup, and hearty seafood paellas.

The rotating list of natural wines and craft cocktails complements a menu built for sharing among friends. Recognized in the MICHELIN Guide for its good cooking, Niu Kitchen draws locals and visitors alike who want an unpretentious yet elevated dinner experience in the heart of downtown.

With moderate-to-upscale pricing and a trendy, romantic vibe, it's equally suited to a date night or a lively group dinner. Expect attentive, casual service and a menu that rewards adventurous eaters willing to try something beyond the usual Spanish tapas spot.
