This Michelin-praised restaurant announced it's ‘pressing pause' in Coconut Grove
Another Michelin-recognized restaurant in Miami is closing, this time after only a year. Sereia, the Portuguese restaurant from chef Henrique Sá Pessoa and the Miami-based Sault Hospitality, announced that the restaurant's last day of service will be May 31 on Instagram. The post hints that the closing of the upscale restaurant at 3450 Main Hwy. in Coconut Grove is temporary, perhaps just for the season, although there is no specified reopening date and the tone of the post betrays more than a little wistfulness. 'As the tides shift and the heat of summer settles in, we at Sereia are pressing pause to rest, recharge, and dream up new flavors for the season ahead,' the post says. 'Our final dinner service before the break will be on Saturday, May 31st. This quiet stretch of time allows us to reconnect with everything that inspire us — the sea, the seasons, and the soulful ingredients that define our tables. Let's make these final evening ones to remember. 'Come raise a glass, indulge in your favorite dishes, and help us celebrate a beautiful season while we reflect on all the joy, beauty, and connection that filled these walls.' The post went on to thank guests for 'your warmth and presence at Sereia and your continued support. You are part of the magic that makes this space what it is. We look forward to welcoming you back soon, with new stories to tell and flavors to share.' Sereia, located along a quiet stretch next to Chef Michael Beltran's Ariete, was the first U.S. restaurant for Sá Pessoa, who's best known as the force behind Alma in Lisbon, which earned two Michelin stars. 'We're not a traditional Portuguese restaurant,' he told the Miami Herald when Sereia opened last spring. 'But we still wanted to keep the rustic flavors of Portuguese cuisine.' The kitchen, led by chef de cuisine Miguel Massens, focused on a seafood-heavy menu, including one of Sá Pessoa's signature dishes, the stunning bacalau a brás, made with salted cod and fried string potatoes with an egg on top. The restaurant was added to the 2025 Michelin Guide in January, along with Cotoa, Grand Central, Palma, Torno Subito and Itamae Ao, which went on to earn a Michelin star. Grand Central, at 7919 Biscayne Blvd. in Miami, is also temporarily closed. The Sereia news comes on the heels of another Michelin-starred restaurant announcing its closing: EntreNos, the farm-to-table spot operating four nights a week out of Tinta y Cafe in Miami Shores, will end service at the end of June.
