THE NEW HAUTE SPOT Globally acclaimed Israeli restaurant, HaSalon, is curating a dining experience like no other in Miami Beach. BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE
Israeli restaurant, HaSalon, down to Miami Beach on the heels of its other successful South Florida openings like Carbone and Sadelle’s Coconut Grove. HaSalon, renowned for its energetic atmosphere, transports you to the Mediterranean through both the cuisine and attitude — and is quickly becoming Miami’s newest hot spot. Formerly known as the iconic Miami Beach institution China Grill for over two decades, HaSalon found its new home on the corner of Washington Avenue, making the space more legendary than ever. Miami is the latest city to join the HaSalon brand, joining sister cities Tel Aviv, New York City, and Ibiza. Made for Miami indeed, HaSalon has garnered the attention of both locals and visitors for an outstanding, modern menu and an evening intricately curated to provide guests with a unique dining experience. “Everyone who comes to HaSalon for the first time tells me that they’ve never had an experience like it,” says HaSalon founder Eyal Shani, the beloved chef, MasterChef judge, and restaurateur with over 30 successful ventures to his name. “The mood gets more and more energetic and convivial as the night goes on and guests get comfortable, but one thing never changes: the line of cooks working very quietly, very consciously, on their food.”
