Brickell's most cinematic Côte d'Azur transplant just opened a new chapter for the midday hour. CLAUDIE, the South of France-inspired flagship from Riviera Dining Group — the team behind Miami hotspots MILA and CASA NEOS — has officially launched its Power Lunch: a $38 two-course prix fixe served Monday through Friday from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM, designed to deliver an unhurried, fully realized Riviera meal inside a workday.
The Power Lunch is built around a choice of starter and a main course, with the option to add a dessert for an additional $7, and the full à la carte lunch menu is available for diners who want to extend the meal.
Head of Culinary Chef Michaël Michaelidis leans into the elevated bistronomy that has defined CLAUDIE since opening — Caviar Linguine, Table-Side Gazpacho, the kind of dishes that nod to the South of France's most iconic plates without trafficking in nostalgia. The format is built for the Brickell workday, but the food never reads like a compromise.
To understand why the lunch matters, it helps to understand CLAUDIE itself. Opened in February 2025 at the corner of Brickell and SE 8th, the restaurant is an homage to "la cuisine du soleil" — the Mediterranean culinary art form pioneered by the legendary Roger Vergé — and a deliberate translation of the Côte d'Azur's elegance, warmth, and sense of unhurried pleasure into a Miami address. Riviera Dining Group built it as the third pillar of a portfolio that already redefined contemporary fine dining in Brickell with MILA and CASA NEOS, and the ambition is visible from the moment you step inside.
The room is the work of OV & Co. in collaboration with renowned Spanish designer Lazaro Rosa-Violán — and it functions less as an interior and more as a stage built around light. Above the dining room, a sculptural ceiling treatment moves with the day, modulating the way light pours into the space from morning sun through the long Mediterranean dusk.
Saturated terracottas, sun-bleached creams, and citrus-grove greens layer across custom millwork, hand-painted ceramics, and quiet, art-grade upholstery — a palette that reads as a love letter to the Riviera's painters, with shoutouts to the regional muses (Cocteau, Picasso, Éluard) whose work has shaped how the world pictures the South of France.
CLAUDIE's signature scent — sun-kissed fig trees, sea spray, the faint herbal note of garrigue — is woven through the room itself, the kind of detail that signals you're inside something built for the senses rather than the photo. The lighting shifts with the hour, the curtained ceiling adjusts to the angle of the Miami sun, and by the time service moves through the afternoon, the room has effectively transitioned from a bright lunch reception to a softer, more contemplative late-afternoon mode — all without a single switch being flipped.
