Gaia opening first U.S. restaurant & flagship location
Miami’s dining landscape is preparing for a notable arrival this spring. GAIA, the internationally recognized Greek Mediterranean restaurant concept founded in Dubai, has officially announced its first United States location, set to open in Miami Beach in March 2026.
The expansion marks a pivotal step for the award-winning brand, which has built a strong following across Monaco, Doha, London, and Marbella since its 2018 debut. Now, backed by Fundamental Hospitality, GAIA is positioning Miami as the gateway to its American chapter, a strategic move that reflects both the city’s global appetite and its evolving fine dining scene.
True to the brand’s established identity, GAIA Miami will carry forward the signature aesthetic that has defined its international locations. Guests can expect whitewashed walls, natural limestone textures, abundant greenery, and Cycladic-inspired design details, all interpreted through Miami’s coastal lens.
One of GAIA’s defining features, the signature Ice Market, will anchor the Miami location. The display presents a rotating selection of fresh fish and seafood on ice, allowing guests to select their preferred catch and choose their preparation style.
This interactive ritual has become central to the brand’s identity worldwide, reinforcing its emphasis on ingredient quality and guest participation.
