Miami’s Art Basel and New Year’s crowds have a new dinner reservation worth making. Sexy Fish Miami, the Japanese-inspired restaurant known for its elaborate interiors and late-night energy, has rolled out two limited-time culinary additions this November — a dessert collaboration with pastry chef Antonio Bachour and the arrival of white truffle season.
The timing lines up well for anyone planning a trip to Miami over the next two months. Art Basel floods the city with gallery openings and after-parties in early December, and Sexy Fish has built a reputation as a pre-game dinner spot for people heading into the Miami nightlife circuit, DJ sets included. With truffle season and a dessert collab both running through the holidays, it’s shaping up as a dependable stop for dinner before whatever show or party comes next, straight through New Year’s Eve.
The headline item is the Black Sesame dessert, a collaboration with Antonio Bachour of Bachour in Coral Gables. Bachour has built a following in the pastry world for his technical, layered desserts, and this one follows that template — a black sesame mousse layered with pineapple-yuzu cream, pineapple-yuzu-cardamom jelly, lime cake and citrus whipped ganache. The $25 dish is available exclusively during dinner throughout November, pairing the nutty depth of black sesame against brighter citrus notes.
Running alongside the dessert is Sexy Fish’s white truffle season offering, which kicked off today and runs during both lunch and dinner service. Guests can have fresh white truffles shaved tableside onto their dishes, priced at $12 per gram, through the restaurant’s white-glove service. White truffle is a seasonal ingredient with a short shelf life, typically sourced in the fall months, so the window to add it to a dish is limited compared to a lot of the restaurant’s other offerings.
Sexy Fish operates as part of a global group with locations in London, Dubai, and Las Vegas, and the Miami outpost has leaned into the city’s mix of fine dining and nightlife since it opened. The restaurant frequently pairs dinner service with DJ sets and live entertainment later in the evening, which fits the pattern of Miami spots that double as a warm-up before a bigger night out.
Both the Bachour dessert and the truffle program are running now, with the dessert collaboration set to continue through the end of November. For anyone building out a Basel week itinerary or a New Year’s Eve dinner plan in Miami, it’s worth adding to the list.
