Queen Miami Beach takes over the historic Paris Theater building on Washington Ave
Celebrating the city’s history, Queen Restaurant & Lounge breathes new life into the iconic Paris Theater, built in 1945 by famed Art Deco architect Henry Hohauser, restoring the property to its original intended glory with over-the-top 21st-century splendor. Recognizable by album covers and music videos of Madonna, U2, J. Lo, Christina Aguilera, and Ricky Martin, the thoughtful design emulates luxury and allure. From the Rat Pack era of the 1950s to the hedonistic nights of the 1990s, the Paris Theater has evolved. It is reborn for a new generation with the creation of Queen Miami Beach, set to open on February 2nd, in the 5th street corridor of Miami Beach.
Extending the ultimate dining experience, the restaurant seamlessly blends superb Japanese cuisine and world-class hospitality with today’s bold modernity of elevated nightlife. With renowned interior designer Carlos Rodriguez of ModPlay Studio at the helm of Queen Miami Beach’s unrivaled design, guests will be amazed at the re-imagination of the space inspired by the preserved architectural details from the ’40s.
World-renowned Chef Julien Jouhannaud, known to oversee several Michelin-starred restaurants in New York and most recently led the culinary teams at Annabelle’s in London, serves as Queen Miami Beach’s Chief Culinary Officer overseeing local Chef Mitchell Hesse, leading as Queen Miami Beach’s Executive Chef. Together, the pair has created a carefully curated menu that blissfully marries French techniques with Japanese ingredients. Designed to be shared and intended to delight the senses, every dish is infused with superior flavor, dazzling creativity, and authentic, fresh ingredients.
“I look forward to being a part of a new chapter of Miami’s restaurant scene. Queen Miami Beach will offer a fully immersive experience of all your senses. Let the show begin!” – Chef Julien Jouhannaud.
Queen Restaurant & Lounge will take guests on a culinary journey through Japanese gastronomic traditions with a modern approach. Dishes range from small plates to a curated raw and marinated section to sushi platters and seafood towers, which then segue into heartier main courses. A premier hand-selected butcher’s program revolves around the highest-grade American and Japanese Wagyu and exclusive Prime Grass-fed beef. At the same time, sushi offerings complement the dining experience with the finest seafood sourced from Japan and beyond.
Queen Miami Beach will open Tuesday through Saturday, from 6 pm until late, located at The Paris Theater | 550 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139. For more information, reservations and updates, visit www.queenmiamibeach.com.
