This Michelin-recognized Indonesian restaurant from New York has opened in Miami

At Wayan in New York’s SoHo neighborhood, husband-and-wife team Cédric and Ochi Vongerichten serve up the French-Indonesian cuisine that landed the restaurant with a recommendation in the Michelin Guide.

Now, the couple has arrived to bring Wayan to Wynwood.

Cédric Vongerichten, who opened the first Wayan in 2019 after training under his father, Jean-George Vongerichten, said that he aims to create something significant in Miami.

“Miami has always felt like a natural extension of Wayan,” he said. “The energy, the warmth, the proximity to incredible seafood, allows us to cook the food we love in a way that feels fresh, spontaneous and rooted in place. This residency gives us the time to really build something meaningful with the community rather than just passing through.”

Located in the former space of Norman van Aken’s Three, Wayan Wynwood features an open-kitchen layout, with six seats at the bar, 12 at the chef’s counter and 70 in the main dining room. There are also tables that can seat 20 outside. The design includes woven rattan light fixtures and a banana-leaf chandelier, with some of the material used in the design from Indonesia.

The Vongerichtens hope to create a space that “feels welcoming and soulful,” Ochi Vongerichten explained.

“We want guests to feel like they can settle in, share dishes and experience the hospitality that’s so central to Indonesian culture,” she said.

The menu highlights seafood, with starters like Key West shrimp satay, stone crab, wahoo tartare served ceviche-style and hiramasa (yellowtail amberjack) with ginger and turmeric dressing. There is also chicken and lamb satay, as well as cucumber mango salad and vegetable spring rolls.

The larger dishes highlight seafood, too, like grilled grouper ikan bakar (a chargrilled fish dish) and Thai basil, lobster noodles with black pepper butter and crab fried rice. You can order crispy red snapper or whole lobster. Non seafood dishes include pork ribs and caramelized beef tenderloin.
