Riviera Dining Group Unveils Claudie in Brickell, Miami
The highly anticipated restaurant Claudie has officially opened its doors in Brickell, Miami, marking the latest venture from the acclaimed Riviera Dining Group (RDG). Following the staggering success of their flagship location, Mila, identified as the second-highest-grossing independent restaurant in the U.S., Claudie aims to elevate the culinary experience with its unique blend of French-Mediterranean cuisine and Riviera-inspired hospitality.
Inspired by the French Riviera
Nestled in the heart of Miami, Claudie takes its inspiration from the timeless elegance of the South of France, promising an escape to the Côte d'Azur. The dining experience is led by Chef Michaël Michaelidis, known for his esteemed background with renowned culinary figures like Alain Ducasse and Joël Robuchon. Under his stewardship, guests can expect a menu that highlights the vibrancy and richness of Mediterranean flavors, showcasing classics with a modern twist. Signature dishes such as the Table-Side Gazpacho, reimagined for a contemporary palate, and the decadent Pâtes Aux Langoustes reflect the attention to detail and artistry that Claudie embodies.
Among other offerings, guests can indulge in classic Escargots, grilled Gamberoni, a Truffle Toupie Macaron that combines innovative flavor profiles, and a luxurious Crustacés seafood tower.
A Feast for the Senses
The ambiance at Claudie is just as noteworthy as its culinary creations. Designed by the acclaimed creative teams at OV Co. and Lazaro Rosa-Violán, the space exudes a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere, utilizing natural materials like wicker, wood, and stone to echo the charm of the French Riviera. The restaurant boasts a stunning 2,470-square-foot terrace, offering seating for 104 guests amidst lush greenery, making for an intimate al fresco dining experience. A centerpiece fountain, inspired by classic French jewelry, adds a captivating touch to the outdoor space, which is enhanced by three magnificent bronze sculptures by artist Ada Da Silva.
Inside, the dining room showcases Mediterranean charm through glazed tiles, handcrafted furniture, and a dramatic circular chandelier that mimics the radiant sun. For private gatherings, a special dining room adorned with a mural by Victoria Krylov offers an exclusive backdrop for an unforgettable experience.

Galy insists that Claudie is dedicated to creating exceptional dining experiences that reflect slow living and a deep appreciation for beauty and culture.
