Restaurateur Mark Soyka first rose to culinary prominence when he opened News Café on Ocean Drive in 1988—Miami Beach's epicenter during the early 90s heyday. Cafe Roval, his first opening in 15 years, is a buzz-worthy addition to MiMo’s burgeoning dining scene. The restaurant is housed in a historic coral-rock house done up with vintage oil paintings, chandeliers, and gilded mirrors. It's the perfect setting for globally inspired dishes like Mediterranean mussels, sprouted chickpea cakes, and short-rib grilled cheese. Be warned: tables at the lavishly green outdoor patio are especially hard to come by during weekend brunch.
