Riviera Dining Group, the hospitality company behind concepts like Mila, Ava MediterrAgean, and Casa Neos, is working to open a brand-new restaurant featuring flavors from the French Mediterranean.
“Nestled in the heart of Miami, Claudie is more than just a restaurant—it is an homage to the timeless elegance and enchanting magic of the South of France,” says the restaurant’s page on the Riviera Dining Group website. “Inspired by ‘la cuisine du soleil,’ a culinary art form pioneered by the legendary Roger Vergé, our menu brings together the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean with the spirit of the Côte d’Azur.”
A few dishes from the upcoming restaurant’s menu were revealed in a recent list by the Miami New Times of 2025’s most anticipated openings.
“The menu will feature flavors of the South of France with standout dishes like caviar linguine and tableside gazpacho,” said the Miami New Times coverage. “Renowned for bringing the vibrant spirit of the French Riviera to Miami, RDG seamlessly blends Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with elevated entertainment and immersive design.”
“At Claudie, we honor the South of France’s rich history as a gathering place for artists like Paul Éluard, Jean Cocteau, and Pablo Picasso, who found inspiration in its unique light, artistic flair, and intoxicating blend of sun-kissed fig trees and ocean breezes—all captured in our signature scent,” the website continues. “Our mantra, ‘Carpe Diem,’ captures this timeless essence—an invitation to savor life with exuberance, elegance, and freedom.”
