Best Restaurants Open Monday in Miami 2026

Why a Monday list matters in Miami

Plenty of Miami kitchens do close Monday, the tasting counters and the smaller chef-owned rooms among them. But the city's biggest rooms run on a visitor economy that peaks midweek, so the Design District and Brickell scene restaurants treat Monday as a working night. The result is that some of the hardest Miami reservations are easier to land on a Monday than a Saturday.

The order below leads with the Michelin-starred rooms, COTE and Stubborn Seed, then the scene tables at Carbone, Zuma and Komodo, and closes with the one-star neighbourhood room Boia De. Every name links to its full review, and hours are checked against each restaurant's published schedule and reservation platform. For the rest of the week, start with the Miami dining guide.

The Monday list

COTE Miami

Korean steakhouse · Design District · about $100–160 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 12:00–15:00 and 17:00–23:00

Simon Kim's COTE holds a Michelin star in the Florida guide and remains the Design District's hardest table, a Korean steakhouse at 3900 NE 2nd Avenue where every seat has a smokeless grill. The Butcher's Feast, a fixed run of four cuts with the banchan and the stew, is the order, and a full dinner lands around $100 to $160 a head. It opens Monday for lunch and again from five to eleven, so a Monday booking is the easiest week-night way into a room that sells out its weekends.

Stubborn Seed

New American tasting · South of Fifth, Miami Beach · about $130–185 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 18:00–22:00

Jeremy Ford won Top Chef before he opened Stubborn Seed at 101 Washington Avenue in South of Fifth, and the room now holds a Michelin star. The format is a seasonal tasting menu, precise and produce-led, running roughly $130 to $185 a head. It opens Monday from six to ten, a rare Monday service for a starred tasting room, which makes the start of the week the calmer time to sit the counter or a quiet two-top. Book ahead on Resy; even a Monday fills here.

Carbone Miami

Italian-American · South of Fifth, Miami Beach · about $120–200 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 17:30–23:00

The Major Food Group revival of mid-century Italian-American dining sits at 49 Collins Avenue, and the spicy rigatoni vodka and the veal parmesan are the dishes that built its reputation. A full dinner with the tableside theatre runs $120 to $200 a head. It opens Monday from half-five to eleven, every night of the week, so a Monday seat is one of the more attainable ways into a room that turns away weekend walk-ins. The bar takes a few without a booking.

Zuma Miami

Japanese izakaya · Downtown Miami · about $90–160 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 18:00–23:00

Zuma's contemporary izakaya sits in the EPIC Hotel at 270 Biscayne Boulevard Way, with a robata grill and a sushi counter feeding a downtown crowd. The miso black cod and the robata skewers are the signatures, and a Monday dinner runs about $90 to $160 a head. It opens Monday for dinner from six to eleven, with the river-view terrace among the better Monday seats in the city. The bar runs a lively Monday, so book the dining room if you want the quieter end.

Komodo Miami

Southeast Asian · Brickell · about $80–140 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 18:00–22:00

David Grutman's three-storey Southeast Asian room at 801 Brickell Avenue is as much a scene as a restaurant, and the Peking duck and the dim sum are the orders that hold up. A Monday dinner runs $80 to $140 a head before the cocktails climb the bill. It opens Monday from six to ten, and the Monday crowd is the closest this room comes to calm, which is the night to come if you want to hear the table rather than the music. Reserve on Resy for the dining room.

Boia De

Italian · Little River, Miami · about $70–120 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 17:30–22:30

Luciana Giangrandi and Alex Meyer run Boia De out of a strip-mall room at 5205 NE 2nd Avenue in Little River, and the Michelin inspectors gave it a star for cooking that punches far above the address. The crudo, the pastas and the chicken-liver toast are the order, and a dinner runs $70 to $120 a head. It opens daily including Monday, half-five to half-ten, so the smallest, most personal starred room on this list is also one of the few open every night of the week.

How to book a Monday table in Miami

Miami is a Resy city for its scene rooms and a phone-and-Resy mix for the starred kitchens. COTE, Carbone, Komodo and Zuma all take Monday bookings on Resy, and a Monday slot is markedly easier to land than the weekend, so use the start of the week to get into the rooms that turn you away on a Saturday. Stubborn Seed and Boia De both keep Monday counter and bar seats that suit solo dining in Miami. Entertaining clients on a Monday? COTE's Butcher's Feast and private-feeling booths suit impressing clients over dinner, while Komodo's three floors and Brickell address work for a larger Miami team dinner.

Frequently asked questions

Which upscale restaurants are open on Monday in Miami?

Several of Miami's best rooms keep a full Monday service. The Michelin-starred COTE in the Design District and Stubborn Seed in South of Fifth both open Monday, as do the scene tables at Carbone, Zuma and Komodo, and the one-star neighbourhood room Boia De in Little River. Because Miami dining runs on midweek visitors, a Monday booking is often easier to land than a weekend one at the same rooms.

Is COTE Miami open on Monday?

Yes. COTE opens Monday for lunch from noon to 3pm and for dinner from 5pm to 11pm at 3900 NE 2nd Avenue in the Design District. It holds a Michelin star in the Florida guide, and the Butcher's Feast of four cuts with banchan is the order, around $100 to $160 a head. A Monday booking is the easiest week-night way into a room that sells out its weekends; reserve on Resy or by phone.

Are any Michelin-starred Miami restaurants open on Monday?

Yes, three on this list. COTE in the Design District, Stubborn Seed in South of Fifth and Boia De in Little River all hold a Michelin star in the Florida selection and all open Monday. Stubborn Seed runs its tasting menu Monday from six to ten, and Boia De serves its Italian small plates daily including Monday. A starred Monday dinner is genuinely achievable in Miami, which is unusual among US cities.

Is Monday a good night to get a Miami reservation?

Monday is one of the best nights for a hard Miami table. The marquee rooms run on a visitor economy that peaks midweek, so they keep a full Monday service while turning away weekend walk-ins. COTE, Carbone, Komodo and Zuma are all materially easier to book on a Monday than a Saturday. Use the start of the week to get into the rooms that are impossible on a weekend, and book on Resy ahead.

Where can I eat well on Miami Beach on a Monday?

On Miami Beach itself, Stubborn Seed and Carbone in South of Fifth both open Monday. Stubborn Seed runs Jeremy Ford's Michelin-starred tasting menu from six to ten, and Carbone serves its Italian-American classics from half-five to eleven. Both sit within walking distance of South Pointe Park, which makes a Monday a strong night for a Beach dinner. Reserve ahead; both fill even on a Monday.
