South Beach bakery and juice bar Café Bastille recently opened a second location of its all-day café in downtown Miami. The Parisian couple behind the French-themed menu took inspiration from their travels — and, of course, Paris — to create the menu. The establishment is known for its selection of hearty breakfast dishes, light lunch fare, coffees, and pressed juices. Brunch any day of the week with the restaurant’s selection of bottomless mimosas or sangria and bloody marys by the pitcher. Open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.

This week, Canada-based Joey Restaurants opens the first Florida location of its Joey brand at Esplanade at Aventura, the city’s new open-air shopping and dining development. The two-story restaurant offers a unique menu designed by the group’s team of globe-trotting chefs including executive chef (and Top Chef Canada winner) Matthew Stowe, in collaboration with a three-time James Beard House guest chef, an Iron Chef from Japan, and a Bocuse d’Or veteran competitor. Dishes take inspiration from a variety of international cuisines from sushi and steaks to pasta and sandwiches. Don’t miss the signature “Steak & Ravioli Bianco,” a decadent sharing plate that pairs grilled sirloin with ravioli in a truffle beurre blanc sauce. A bar program highlights an in-house sommelier and handcrafted cocktails. Opens Thursday, July 13.
