Lincoln Eatery Brings Quality Cuisine Back to Lincoln Road
Photos by @ThisIsSeba
Remember the good ole’ days of Lincoln road when you had a plethora of diverse options to eat, before it became one giant shopping mall. We do and we miss those days. Sadly they are never EVER coming back, but the Lincoln Eatery has just uplifted Lincoln Road’s cuisine prolifically!! Pop your mouth in for many bites to come…
The Lincoln Eatery marks the arrival of one of the 21st century’s biggest global culinary trends – the modern food hall – on Miami Beach. Located adjacent to Lincoln Road, South Beach’s famed pedestrian shopping, dining and people watching street, the highly-anticipated urban food collective will present a curated selection of 14 unique dining and drinking options featuring an eclectic assortment of culinary concepts. The final list of vendors will be announced closer to the grand opening, along with a schedule of events and activations throughout the entire opening weekend including family-friendly activities, photo ops, live music and happy hour specials.
As envisioned by its developers, Terranova Corporation, South Florida’s leading full-service commercial real estate firm, The Lincoln Eatery is poised to become a convivial hub on Miami Beach – a gathering place that celebrates the intersection of food, design and community in a setting perfect for Instagram-worthy moments. Designed by Arquitectonica – the iconic global architecture firm notable for putting South Florida on the world design map – The Lincoln Eatery occupies 9,600 square feet of street level space at the intersection of Lincoln Lane and Meridian Avenue. Once open, The Lincoln Eatery is destined to become a dining hotspot for locals and visitors alike, whether they’re seeking a quick bite, lively programming and events, a great drink or a chic space to meet, mingle, work or hang.
According to Stephen Bittel, Terranova’s founder and chairman, “We’re extending Lincoln Road’s footprint north with the development of The Lincoln Eatery as the anchor. Our goal with The Eatery is to work with local and national culinary entrepreneurs, providing the support and infrastructure they need to be successful; in turn offering an exciting, affordable new dining experience that will be authentic and new to the area. All of The Eatery’s tenants will be unique from one another, offering something for every palate. We are thrilled with the creative and delicious mix of cuisines and concepts that are joining forces us.”
Many of the Eatery’s tenants are new to the market, bringing authentic, and in most cases, homegrown made-in-Miami options to a wider audience with first time brick and mortar retail locations. Our faves were:
- Marble & Rye: A modern take on a traditional New York kosher delicatessen featuring old world deli staples with a contemporary twist.
- Patagonia: Serving authentic Argentinean pastries and sweets including empanadas and medialunas made fresh daily.
- The Tavern Bar: The Eatery’s central ‘drinkery’ will offer wine, beer and handcrafted cocktails.
- Toast & More: A French bakery serving a large selection of savory and sweet tartines, French pastries, quiches and of course, toasts.
- TYO Sushi: A fusion of traditional skill with modern tastes, incorporating Japan’s signature and time-honored sushi roots and spicing it up with today’s modern flavors.
Others great options include:
- XO Espresso Bar: A specialty coffee bar serving quality coffee, wellness drinks, organic teas and a wide range of small bites and pastries to match.
- Necessary Purveyors: Specializing in artisanal dishes inspired by the South from made to order sandwiches to granola jars that are approachable yet sophisticated.
- ChillN: A South Florida-based ice cream concept serving delicious flash-frozen ice cream with liquid nitrogen and a variety of fresh ingredients and toppings.
- Fresh Garden Bowls:A healthy fast-food alternative with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options to satisfy a modern healthy lifestyle featuring made-to-order salads, wraps and freshly squeezed juices.
- Manhattan Paletas:First South Florida location for the Mexican-based brand which has been serving all natural frozen paletas made from fruits and other flavors for over 50 years.
The Lincoln Eatery will offer flexible indoor/outdoor seating for over 200. A modern interpretation of the industrial food hall, The Lincoln Eatery’s design elements include glossy subway tiles and polished concrete floors. Overhead, a matrix of wooden beams evokes a lush tropical canopy. In late 2019, Terranova will open the project’s second phase – a spacious rooftop terrace with beautiful views of South Beach that will be open to the public for dining, drinking, special events and lounging. Other shopping and dining experiences in the district are online to open in late 2018 and 2019 including Genuine Pizza by Chef Michael Schwartz and The Cuban Coffee Cup.
One block north of Lincoln Road and within walking distance of the newly debuted and highly anticipated Miami Beach Convention Center, New World Center, the Fillmore Miami Beach and Miami City Ballet, The Lincoln Eatery is perfectly situated for post-shopping, before and after theatre dining and drinking. Convention center attendees will delight in this convenient option. Operating hours from early morning until evening. Located at 723 Lincoln Lane on Miami Beach. www.thelincolneatery.com;
