Major Food Group Brings Its French Vision to Miami

Dirty French Steakhouse sits on Brickell Avenue as the Miami expression of Major Food Group's celebrated French bistro concept — a restaurant born from the creative partnership of Jeff Zalaznick, Chef Mario Carbone, and Chef Rich Torrisi. The trio built Major Food Group into one of the most recognized hospitality companies in the country, and Dirty French carries that reputation south.

French Cuisine with a Bold Contemporary Edge

The kitchen's approach is rooted in the timeless classics of French cuisine, but the execution pushes those traditions into something sharper and more alive. The original New York location earned a description from The New York Times as a place that "makes your head spin in a wonderful way" — a line that captures the spirit the Miami steakhouse inherits. The menu balances the comfort of bistro cooking with the ambition of a kitchen that draws on global influences, making French cuisine feel both familiar and genuinely surprising.

Signature dishes from the broader Dirty French canon — such as the Mushroom Mille Feuille with Red Curry and the Chicken for Two with Crêpes — illustrate how the kitchen honors classical technique while staying thoroughly contemporary.

A Room That Stays Late

The dining room at Dirty French is designed for lingering. Guests move from dinner into cocktails, from cocktails into glasses of Chablis, from Chablis into freshly made beignets. The energy builds as the evening goes on rather than winding down — a quality that defines the Dirty French experience across its locations.

That commitment to the table extends to the wine program, which earned Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence in 2023, a recognition that reflects genuine depth and curation rather than a perfunctory list.

Breakfast Through Dinner

Beyond its identity as a French steakhouse destination for the evening, Dirty French Miami spans the full day — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — alongside private events and a bar program that stands on its own. The range makes it a rare address on Brickell that works for a morning meal as readily as it does for a late dinner with wine pairings.
