This Miami Design District food hall just got new vendors — and a new name, too
The food hall in Miami’s Design District has a few new concepts to try — and a brand new name, too.
The former St. Roch Market, which was also known as Politan Row after a legal dispute over the original name, is now Mia Market. Macromia Group, made up of husband-and-wife team Barre Tanguis and Cecile Hardy Tanguis, brought in Chef J.D. Hilburn to be the new culinary director.
With the name change comes new faces and new food. Gone is the Peruvian Nikkei concept Itamae — owners Val and Nando Chang opened a restaurant across the courtyard. Remaining are Dal Plin (Italian); Hot Lime (Mexican); Jaffa (Mediterranean); Tran An (Vietnamese); and COOP (Southern). Sabal Coffee; and The Bar at Mia Market provide beverages.
Here are the new concepts at the food hall, which has indoor and outdoor seating:
Ruby Dee’s
Led by Chef Daniel Roy from The Generator Miami, this spot focuses on seasonal and vegetable plates. Standout dishes include Kusshi oysters with cucumber mint mignonette, a pine nut and mushroom salad and a wagyu picanha sandwich.
Foirette
This concept comes from J.D. Hilburn, who enlisted Karen Ruedas and Tristen Reyes bring classic cooking techniques to Mia Market with rotisserie chicken and porchetta as well as pulled chicken and pork sandwiches. There’s also a “shattered schnitzle” sandwich with porchetta, potato salad, cucumber and lingonberry on ciabatta.
Osom Bites
Owner Roxana Morfe of Hot Lime, the Mexican vendor at Mia Market, creates sweet and savory crepes. Favorites include the Veggie Lover and Cheesecake, or diners can dream up their own creations.
“We’re so excited to reintroduce Mia Market to the community under our direction,” said Barre Tanguis in a press release. “By adding fresh concepts from up-and-coming and established names from the culinary scene to our existing beloved roster of chefs, we feel confident Mia Market will become the go-to destination for foodies looking for the ultimate community-focused dining experience.”
