Cactus Club Cafe brings its blend of elevated everyday dining and high energy from Canada to Downtown Miami. The new outpost, inside the Citigroup Center, is the British Columbia–based brand’s 35th location and its second in the U.S., following a recent debut in Boston.
The restaurant offers an upbeat, stylish atmosphere fueled by energetic music, polished design and a menu built for broad appeal.
“The food, design and energy are on par with some of the best restaurants in North America, but at a price point that invites people to come often,” Cactus Club Cafe president Andrew Latchford said in a statement. “Whether it’s lunch, afternoon drinks, dinner or late-night vibes, we’ve created something for everyone and every occasion — elevated but never pretentious.”
Executive chef Greg McCallum leads the company’s culinary program, describing the menu as “modern North American food that is inspired by the places and cuisines we love.” The menu includes light items such as sushi, Scallop & Shrimp Ceviche and Lemongrass Noodle Salad with an option to add chicken, salmon or tuna. Bowls include Crispy Tofu and Tuna Poke, while Butternut Squash Ravioli With Shrimp is a highlight of the pasta menu. For carnivores, there are a variety of steaks, and handhelds range from tacos to burgers. Desserts include Key Lime Pie, a Six Layer Chocolate Slice and a London Fog Crème Brûlée.
The beverage program boasts the chain’s famous frozen drink, The Bellini, as well as a variety of margaritas and classic cocktails, a sommelier‑selected wine list and international beer offerings.
The 11,500‑square‑foot space seats more than 280 diners, with a bar, lounge, semi‑private dining room and patio.
Cactus Club Cafe is located at 201 S. Biscayne Blvd., Miami. For more information, visit cactusclubcafe.com.
