COTE Miami

COTE Miami is the Design District branch of COTE, the Korean steakhouse group that also runs a restaurant in New York, and it was recognised in the Michelin Guide 2025, which lists it with one star. As the name suggests, the concept brings Korean barbecue together with the format of an American steakhouse.

Beef is the focus of the menu. If you are new to Korean barbecue, ask your server to recommend a combination of dishes for your group, as sharing is the natural way to eat in this style of restaurant. COTE To-Go also offers takeaway for lunch and dinner, which is handy if you are staying nearby.

The restaurant serves lunch daily from 12pm to 2.45pm. Dinner runs from 5pm to 11pm from Sunday to Wednesday and from 5pm to midnight from Thursday to Saturday, making it one of the later dinner options in the district. Reservations can be made online and by phone, with reservationists available daily between 12pm and 10pm. Booking ahead is advisable for weekend evenings, while lunch is usually easier to secure at short notice.

COTE suits groups, couples and celebrations, and it is a good choice if you want a lively, social meal rather than a quiet one. Prices are at the upper end of the Miami market, so check the menu online before you go. Private dining and events can be arranged with the restaurant's events team.

Because the restaurant serves both lunch and dinner every day, lunch is a useful way to experience the cooking at a less busy time, and it fits neatly into a morning of shopping or gallery visits in the Design District.

The restaurant is at 3900 NE 2nd Avenue in the Miami Design District, where several garages are within a short walk, including Palm Court Garage at 140 NE 39th Street. Combine dinner with an afternoon looking at the district's public art, such as the Fly's Eye Dome in Palm Court, or a visit to the free Institute of Contemporary Art. Michael's Genuine Food and Drink and Mandolin Aegean Bistro are nearby if you are planning several meals in the area.
