This French restaurant from a famous baker has quietly closed in Miami
Another Miami restaurant has quietly closed its doors this summer.
There was no announcement or press release from Tablé by Bachour, which opened in 2023 at 180 NE 40th St. in Miami's Design District. But now the spot, which was located in a former Prada showroom, has apparently shut down for good, its doors and windows covered with floral and otherwise decorative prints.
The elegant restaurant, which served French cuisine as well as the pastries for which Puerto Rican-born chef Antonio Bachour is famous, opened during a frenzied culinary period for Miami. The post-Covid era was in full swing, and the Michelin Guide had arrived in 2022.
Tablé marked a notable, ambitious change for Bachour, who's best known in Miami for his bakery-café Bachour in Coral Gables and the now-closed Bachour Restaurant & Bar in Doral.
It's uncertain when exactly Tablé (pronounced tabLAY) closed, but its last Yelp reviews recorded at the end of May 2025. Subsequently Yelp reviewers reported it closed. A Google search also marks it as permanently closed, as does OpenTable if you try to make a reservation.
In 2023, Bachour told the Miami Herald that the Design District was the perfect location for his upscale dream restaurant.
'It was the perfect match for this concept,' he said. 'I love the Design District. I love to walk there with my wife on the weekends and to have lunch. For me, it's the best place.'
The bakery-café Bachour in Coral Gables, which was designated as Bib Gourmand by the Michelin Guide, remains open. A Bib Gourmand is awarded to restaurants that serve quality food at affordable prices.
