Wayan arrives in the heart of Wynwood, Miami’s creative epicenter—where bold murals, street art, and an ever-evolving cultural energy set the tone. Following the growth of its flagship in NYC, a year-round home in Aspen, and a seasonal summer presence in East Hampton, the Indonesian-French restaurant—led by husband-and-wife team Ochi and Cedric Vongerichten—found a natural next home in Miami. Known for vibrant Southeast Asian flavors layered with French technique, Wayan offers bold, shareable dishes alongside playful, tropical-leaning cocktails designed for long nights and easy conversation. The Wynwood opening marks Wayan’s first Miami outpost: a New York restaurant group stepping into Wynwood with the same spirit—relaxed, expressive, and meant to be shared.
