Eataly is finally coming to Miami with new Aventura Mall location
After quite a long wait— Time Out Miami first reported on the news back in 2022 —Eataly is finally coming to the Sunshine State. Yes, the NYC-born Italian food emporium, which has more than 50 global locations spread across the United States, Italy, Japan, Brazil, Turkey, South Korea and more, is opening its first location in Florida at Miami's Aventura Mall in spring 2025. On Thursday, June 12 at 3pm, Eataly will debut a two-level store at the luxury shopping mall, on the Third Level near Nordstrom. As at other Eataly outposts, the Miami edition will celebrate Italian culture through markets, counters, cafés, restaurants, and educational offerings "that explore the best food and beverage options Italy's 20 regions and the world has to offer," per the brand. As one of the premier shopping destinations in the country, we couldn't be more thrilled to partner with Aventura Mall and the team at Turnberry on our first location in the state of Florida,' said Tommaso Brusò, CEO of Eataly North America. 'Our mission with Eataly Aventura is to transport guests to Italy without ever having to leave Miami-Dade County, and we are very much looking forward to bringing Eataly's one-of-a-kind experience to the community here.' The 30,000-square-foot space will feature two sit-down restaurants, a caffè with several quick-service counters, a retail section with house-made and made-in-Italy products, a wine store with a dedicated Riserva room, and a cooking school. As for the restos, diners will find La Pizza & La Pasta—a 300-seat concept specializing in Neapolitan-style pizza and artisanal pasta, naturally—and Il Pastaio, a 90-seat outlet dedicated to the art of fresh pasta. The quick-service counters will include La Pasticceria (a pastry depot with cakes, croissants and other baked goods), Panini (a counter dedicated to focaccia, panini and farcita) and Il Gelato, scooping freshly churned gelato and sorbetto creations. And the marketplace will be a home cook's haven, selling everything from pantry staples such as extra virgin olive oils, canned tomatoes, sauces, and bronze-extruded pastas to sweets, a diversity of salumi and formaggi, and special-occasion picks like gift boxes, caviar, and panettoni. Alongside the hundreds of Italian imports, customers can also find high-quality produce, meats, and grab-and-go meals from the made-in-Eataly line. Served from counter to restaurant, a selection of house-made fresh pasta (produced onsite daily) is available for cooking at-home. There's also a wine shop that focuses exclusively on Italian wines. Following opening day on June 12, Eataly at Aventura Mall will host 10 days of free, open-to-the-public programming in celebration of the new store, including producer showcases, hands-on tiramisu-making workshops, complimentary wine tastings, and more.

3 best al fresco weekend dining spots at Marina Bay Sands for views & vibes
Weekends are all about unwinding and recharging before embarking on a new workweek. If soaking up some vitamin D, enjoying picturesque views, and breathing in fresh air sounds like your kind of vibe, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands has a lineup of al fresco dining spots perfect for a laid-back day out. Whether you're bringing family, friends, your significant other, or even your four-legged companion, this is the perfect place to kick back and let the weekend roll by. Craving a laid-back American brunch, planning a family-friendly feast for a big group, or looking to impress on a romantic date with oysters and champagne? We've got you covered! Read on as we dive into 3 must-try weekend dining spots at Marina Bay Sands. Yardbird Southern Table & Bar transports the bold, comforting flavours of the American South right to Singapore's shores. And with a title like Best American Restaurant voted by Time Out Miami, get set for a delicious Southern indulgence! Kicking things off with a strong presentation is the Chicken & Waffles (S$48++). It features 4 pieces of fried chicken stuffed in a quirky rooster-shaped basket, accompanied by 3 slabs of cheddar waffle, and chilled spiced watermelon cubes. With its golden-brown, crispy skin and juicy, tender meat, each piece of fried chicken was pure finger-lickin' goodness — a one-way ticket to flavour heaven! I love watermelon as a fruit, but spiced watermelon? That's a first! Each juicy cube had hints of minty basil, and the gentle heat that kicked in after a while was an unexpected twist. Macaroni and cheese fans will swoon over the Lobster Mac & Cheese (S$79++). Served with an entire Boston lobster, the unctuous macaroni is slathered in a heavenly marriage of 5 artisanal cheeses — one of the best I've had! The Crab Cake Benedict (S$30++) came in 2 stacks consisting of fried green tomatoes, crab cake, and a poached egg, with a crispy, long piece of grilled bacon on top. I drizzled the rich Hollandaise sauce generously and then proceeded to obliterate the flawlessly poached egg with a little assistance from my fork and knife. The chef behind this dish deserves an award. Who would've thought swapping the usual muffin bottom for breaded green tomato would make such a game-changing difference? Paired with the fresh, sweet crab cake, the oozy poached egg, and the other elements, each bite was pure bliss. The Donut Tree (S$18++) arrived on an attention-grabbing bare jet-black tree, with 6 crispy, sun-kissed donuts in 3 varieties hanging like peculiar 'ornaments'. The Oreo one was satisfying, while the pistachio had an earthy, addictively-chunky bite. But what really took the spotlight was the bacon-glazed donut, topped with crispy, salty bacon chunks and a sweet icing finish. The Bourbon Bacon Chocolate Cake (S$28++) stood tall with 4 layers of rich chocolate sponge. The cake was infused with a light bourbon chocolate cream, crowned with crackling bacon and a drizzle of caramel. It was paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Once again, the savoury-sweet combo totally charmed me. Never in a million years would I have imagined chocolate, crispy bacon, and bourbon in a cake could taste that amazing!

Just over a year old, Maison Boulud is a romantic, French restaurant by celebrity chef, Daniel Boulud, that stretches over 2 levels The decor is glamourous and perfect for date night at the basement, while the first floor exudes a resort-like charm overlooking the Singapore waterfront. Swing by with your other half or friends and indulge in the Brunch Set Menu (S$68++) — a fantastic choice if you're hankering for French brunch classics over the weekend. It includes the Lobster Eggs Benedict, a beautifully crafted masterpiece so stunning that I almost couldn't bring myself to dig in. With luscious spinach, fresh lobster, luxurious poached egg, calamansi Hollandaise, and micro greens on top, it was an exceptional brunch food to revel in. 30 Italian restaurants to relish in Singapore For the Eggs Any Style, take your pick between sunny side-up and scrambled eggs, that comes complete with charred grilled farmers bread, Toulouse Sausage, haricot beans in tomato sauce, bacon, and creamy spinach. The French Toast was a buttery, sweet respite from the two savoury dishes we had earlier. Its partners in crime? A vibrant berry compote and a tangy, airy yogurt espuma. Of course, who wouldn't say yes to croissants? The Viennoiserie consists of a croissant and pain au chocolate, paired with classic butter and a duo of jams — enjoy them just the way you like! What better way to kickstart your lovely brunch affair than to take advantage of their weekend Oysters & Bottomless Champagne promotion? The Set for one (S$98++) includes 2 hours of free-flow Duval-Leroy Champagne, half a dozen French oysters, and 3 kinds of tartare. We tried the Set for two (S$196++), which has an extra 10g of N25 Caviar and 6 more oysters. We turned our attention to the centrepiece of the table, a 2-tier metal bowl display filled with ice. The bottom layer featured a dozen freshly-shucked oysters while the top showcased the opulent caviar with a trio of tartares. Enjoy the briny pops of caviar that burst with divine oceanic essence. Have them on their own, pair them with blinis or potato chips, or alongside the crab, salmon, or tuna tartare. Slurp on oysters imported from France such as fine de claire and speciale. Feast on them with some punchy shallot mignonette or the good ol' spritz of lemon. To experience Maison Boulud's delightful French fare, click here. Those words sound familiar, don't they? 'It's RAAAAAAW!' — famous from none other than Gordon Ramsay of Hell's Kitchen, the mastermind behind Bread Street Kitchen. This decade-old waterfront restaurant continues to charm diners with its industrial decor and signature checkerboard floor tiles. You can also head outside with your family in tow as you relish in a variety of elevated yet comforting British European specialities. Available only on Sundays, the BSK Roast (S$45) features 4 succulent slices of USDA prime striploin, Yorkshire pudding, roasted potatoes, carrots and seasonal vegetables. The beef slices were a carnivore's dream — tender, rich in taste, and matched wonderfully with the velvety brown jus. Be sure to save some of that sauce to dunk the crispy, fluffy Yorkshire pudding. Those seeking something healthy and authentically British can go for the Avocado Croast (S$28). A luscious blend of buttery guacamole and earthy mushy peas fill the flaky croissant, adorned with 2 perfectly jiggly poached eggs, peppery arugula, and parmesan shavings. Nothing says 'weekend' quite like a generous slab of Lobster Roll (S$45). Experience the taste of the sea with succulent lobster chunks tossed in a zesty fennel and apple salad, all finished with a velvety Maria rose sauce.
