Haiku
The Japanese kaiseki-inspired members-only restaurant Haiku has finally made its debut in Wynwood. When the pandemic pushed the restaurant’s 2020 opening date back, Haiku owner Jess Varughese veered a bit off the original path and opted to take the concept down a more exclusive route by offering a bespoke culinary experience for members. Haiku draws its inspiration from the multicourse kaiseki tradition while incorporating unique twists. The 1,500-square-foot restaurant features dramatic cathedral ceilings and will host private dinners for up to 16 guests as well as one-of-a-kind events featuring guests chefs and sommeliers. Each 10-to-12-course omakase menu will be paired with wine, Champagne and sake and menus will change seasonally.
