St. Roch Market Miami is a self-described “contemporary, multi-vendor food hall brand, hailing from New Orleans.” For a little background of St. Roch Market, see our post on its original location. You can find this new Miami food experience in the heart of the Design District at 140 NE 39th Street, Suite #241.
The Space
When I arrived at the second-floor space, I was greeted by a lovely swing area. The swings reminded me of the ones outside of the Perez Museum – a scene perfect for Instagramable moments. There was also seating outdoors for patrons of St. Roch Market to enjoy their meals in the lovely Miami weather.
My eyes were drawn to the bar when I entered St. Roch Market Miami. The bar is situated at the center of the space. The walls are lined with a variety of eateries that will satisfy pretty much any of your cravings. Patrons can place their order at any of the food concepts, and then dine at any available table or bar space.
The Food
Where do I begin? You are bound to find some food to fall in love with when there are eleven food concepts to choose from. Food concepts include Israeli, Vietnamese, Southern eats, Peruvian, etc. – so many that I was unable to try them all. St. Roch Market Miami has gifted Miami with a little bit of its home cuisine through Elysian Seafood – a food concept serving up delicious and authentic New Orleans cuisine. Charbroiled oysters are my absolute favorite food to eat while visiting New Orleans. When I saw those oysters listed first on Elysian’s menu, I had to try it. Dare I say, those oysters were better than some that I have had in New Orleans! Elysian also serves New Orleans classics like seafood gumbo and shrimp po’boys.
After the oysters, I tried something new and different. Itamae serves signature rolls, among other things, with Peruvian flare. I had the pleasure of trying their Acebichado Roll. It was stuffed with the daily catch of fish, sweet potato, and greens, all topped with ceviche. Simply delicious! I want to eat it daily (I just might).
I also tried some Italian food at Dal Plin. Many were raving about the handmade pastas. The most suggested dish was the Prosciutto di Parma Cappelletti – pork stuffed pasta in a cream sauce with ham and peas. Yummy!
But Wait, There’s More…
The beverage that accompanied my food is called the Market Elixir. The General Manager suggested this drink. I am so happy that I obliged. Vodka based, the Market Elixir was the perfect refreshing compliment to my plates (yes, plates).
Of course, I had to end the night on a sweet note. Enter Chef Chloe and the Vegan Café. Their freshly baked sweets are so popular that they were almost all sold out by the time I got to their stall. I was able to nab a Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookie. It was the perfect way to end my gastronomical experience.
The Bottom Line
I give St. Roch Market Miami 7 out of 5 charbroiled oysters (yes, it’s that good). The space is upscale yet laid back. The food is delicious and the variety is amazing. The service is pleasant and helpful. St. Roch Market Miami, you’ve won me over and I’m sure the rest of Miami will soon follow!
