The Whet Palette MICHELIN Guide FL 2023: Miami’s NEW Bib Gourmands

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE

“The 2023 MICHELIN Guide Miami, Orlando and Tampa will be unveiled at 6 p.m. May 11 at LoanDepot Park in Miami.

Chefs and restaurant teams will learn in real time whether their establishments have received culinary distinctions such as MICHELIN Stars, Bib Gourmands or other professional award distinctions. The event is by invitation only.“

Last February, the MICHELIN Guide announced eight exciting additions to the selections in Miami. Now, at least one category is receiving another advanced teaser. The MICHELIN Guide just announced 8 new additions to the BIB GOURMAND Florida category.

Congratulations to the following restaurants:

“Jaguar Sun (Miami, Contemporary cuisine)
This local favorite cooks as well as it shakes, offering a winning combination of excellent house-made pastas and balanced, creative cocktails. Warm Parker House rolls and Caesar salads stacked to the sky are opening acts to an umami-packed mushroom tagliatelle or spicy strozzapreti with plump mussels, ‘nduja and breadcrumbs. A warm, personal staff makes everyone feel like a regular.

Rosie’s (Miami, Southern/American cuisine)
Kudos to husband-and-wife chef team Akino and Jamila West. The notably Southern menu covers a generous amount of ground. Deviled eggs with chicharrones, biscuits in guanciale gravy and fluffy banana pancakes with vanilla custard are primo brunch favorites. Heartier hits, like fried hot chicken and waffles or a generous fried fish and grits with collard greens, satiate larger appetites.“

Taste of Chengdu (Orlando, Chinese/Sichuan cuisine)

Psomi (Tampa, Greek cuisine)

Otto’s High Dive (Orlando, Cuban/American cuisine)

Norigami (Winter Garden, Japanese/Sushi cuisine)

Isan Zaap (Orlando, Thai cuisine)

Gorkhali Kitchen (Tampa, Nepali cuisine)

There’s still one more week to discover the full list, if any of the 2022 Bib Gourmands (see below) retain or lose their category, or move up to the One Star list. The countdown is officially on…
