In a city known for glitz, Queen Miami Beach somehow raises the bar. Housed inside the iconic Paris Theater on Washington Avenue, this Japanese fine-dining destination blends over-the-top design, world-class cuisine, and old-school glamour into one jaw-dropping experience.
Queen isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a visual spectacle. Originally built in 1945 by famed Art Deco architect Henry Hohauser, the Paris Theater has been fully reimagined by entrepreneur Mathieu Massa as a modern palace for high-end dining. Every inch of the space, from the Italian mosaic floors to the gold leaf-covered moldings and velvet-draped mezzanines, feels meticulously curated to wow.
Acclaimed interior designers Samy Chams and Carlos Rodriguez preserved the theater’s Art Deco bones while adding bold, contemporary elements—think a hand-carved golden Iris sculpture, a kaleidoscopic LED dome ceiling, and an omakase counter tucked away on the second floor. The result is one of the most visually stunning restaurants in Miami.
But Queen is far from style over substance. The menu, led by Executive Chef Christopher Robert (formerly of Gordon Ramsay’s Lucky Cat), is a thoughtful blend of Japanese culinary tradition and French technique. Expect premium sushi, extravagant seafood towers, grilled Wagyu, and shareable small plates, all executed with high-level precision. The drink program is equally polished, with rare spirits, artful cocktails, and a standout wine and champagne list featuring a partnership with Louis XIII.
For those looking for an even more exclusive experience, Queen offers Queen Omakase, a chef’s counter helmed by Chef Max Kamakura, as well as Aiko, a private dining room designed for intimate celebrations.
Queen Miami Beach isn’t just about dinner—it’s about making an entrance, soaking up the scene, and savoring the entire experience. In a city that thrives on spectacle, Queen manages to deliver something truly rare: elegance with edge.
