What To Wear To Miami's 3 Hottest New Restaurants
If there’s one thing we live for in Miami (besides our championship-winning Heat, obvs), it is the opening of a new restaurant. Since anyone who is anyone has an outpost in the 305, we've got plenty to choose from, but with so many different cuisines, it’s hard to determine what to wear. Surely, a French beret wouldn’t work in a Robata grill, just like a kimono wouldn’t work in a Southern grill (Note: Do we even own a kimono? Doubtful). But we've got you; here are three spankin’ new restaurants that are bringing some serious culture shock to the city and providing three very separate (but deliciously equal) dining experiences. Check out what you should wear to the freshly opened Dominique French Bistro, Georgia’s Union and Katsuya in the SLS Hotel.

Dominique French Bistro

About time Miami said bon jour to some fine French dining, which seems to be having a culinary renaissance in our city. So make like Amelié at Dominique Bistro and feel romantic, as the food is as delicious as the ambiance is sweet. We’ve fallen in love with the space — a French country home meets a modern Miami glam pod.

Keep your palate classy with some Terrine de Foie Gras Classique, steak-frites, and a rich fondant au chocolate (that’s a steamin’ lava cake, for those who don't parlez) to finish it off. Best of all, when the weekend hits, Dominique transforms into a lounge, spinning the hottest French electro beats and hosting some pretty posh fêtes.

So when you go, try an outfit that conveys a refined Right Bank look with a hint — or a whole lot — of seduction. Choose a flirty top with a pleated skirt and some dainty heels to channel both romance and poise (two things the French have in spades). Top it off with romantic accessories like charm bracelets and a simple, chic clutch. You may not be in the City of Lights, but with a flirty look and a glass of rosé, you'll certainly feel transported.
