Lincoln Road Is Now Miami Beach’s Culinary Hotspot

Key Points

Lincoln Road on Miami Beach is cooking up more than sunshine and sidewalk strolls—it’s becoming a culinary battleground for global powerhouses. From Colombia’s legendary Andrés Carne de Res to L.A.’s celeb-favorite The Nice Guy, high-profile players are betting big on this historic pedestrian strip.

Lincoln Road’s Restaurant Revival

The pedestrian mall welcomes eight new culinary concepts, with names and numbers that demand attention.

• MILA, already raking in $52 million in annual revenue, is setting the bar high.

• Newcomers like Oro, El Carnival Churrascaria, and Zaytinya are staking claim alongside international brands like Prince Street Pizza and Negroni Caffe.

These aren’t small-time operators:

• The h.wood Group (Delilah) is bringing its signature vibe to 7,000 sq ft at 1657 Michigan Ave. for The Nice Guy

• Noble 33, behind hotspots like Casa Madera, plans to open Mēdüzā Mediterranïa in 2026.

• Andrés Carne de Res, the iconic Colombian eatery, made its U.S. debut with a massive 10,000 sq ft, four-floor venue last October.

💡 Why It Matters for Investors

With a footfall of over 10.8 million annual visitors, Lincoln Road is a rare pedestrian zone in car-heavy South Florida.

• The strip benefits from proximity to Billionaires' Row and is surrounded by new luxury developments like the Rosewood Residences, One Soundscape Park, and the upcoming Thompson Hotel.

• Hospitality investments like the Grand Hyatt Convention Center Hotel and Citizen M are expected to flood the area with high-spending tourists and professionals.

This convergence is supercharging retail rents and boosting tenant desirability.
