La Màrtola

Drawing inspiration from the culinary treasures of the Italian, French, and Spanish Rivieras, La Màrtola is Buena Vista’s newest gem that’s quickly becoming a local favorite. The minimalist yet chic interiors provide the perfect backdrop for a culinary journey that leaves you eagerly awaiting each course. Start with delightful appetizers like local heirloom tomatoes with goat cheese or Iberian ham with crispy chips. A standout is the Neapolitan-style pizza, especially the Portonovo, adorned with buffalo mozzarella, ricotta, and mortadella, all topped with pistachio and orange zest. The menu also features wood-fired meats, fish, and vegetables, perfectly complemented by an extensive wine list. The best part? The gelato al fior di latte is curated by gelato maker Simone Bonini. Create your own treat by pouring fresh espresso over the gelato, and then add toppings of your choice.

RedFarm

Wondering what happened to the notorious Mr. Moe’s space in Coconut Grove? It’s now home to RedFarm, a celebrated New York transplant specializing in elevated Chinese cuisine. The space has transformed into a modern, relaxed hotspot, with an entryway adorned with eye-catching Mallard decoy ducks. Here, you can indulge in dim sum, noodles, and Peking duck, which is so good that China’s Central TV has hailed it as the best outside of China. Beverage director Shawn Chen’s inventive cocktail menu features libations like the El Sabio—a captivating mix of Gran Centenario Reposado, ancho reyes, ginger, grapefruit, and Kaffir lime, topped with yuzu foam. Don’t miss the shrimp and snow pea leaf dumplings, the three chili chicken with Yaki-Soba noodles and vegetables, and “Ed’s” pastrami egg rolls, which are even more addicting when dipped in a creamy honey mustard sauce. Finish your RedFarm feast—because you will have leftovers—by ordering the ice cream sandwiches in flavors like coconut, chocolate, strawberry, and pistachio.
