Boia De

Boia De occupies a small room in the Bravo Supermarket Plaza on the Little Haiti and Upper East Side line, marked by a neon pink exclamation point next to a coin laundromat. Chef-partners Luciana Giangrandi and Alex Meyer opened it in June 2019 after running a Miami food truck and pop-up, and it earned its first Michelin star in 2022, retained through 2026. The dining room seats roughly two dozen.

A Michelin-starred kitchen of that size is where alcohol-free drinks usually get worst treatment: the wine pairing is central to the experience, the covers are few, and there is no room behind the bar for a second programme. Boia De instead runs a named Zero Proof section built with the same precision as the food. The Sober Surfer leans into tropical Miami — coconut, pineapple, Pathfinder. Strawberry Fields Forever is clarified and layered, built on strawberry-cucumber oleo with lemon and basil oil. Clarification is a technique that costs time and yields a drink that looks like water and tastes like fruit; nobody does it for a menu they consider an obligation.

An Aplos Cup and a non-alcoholic Untitled Art IPA round out the list, so a guest who wants a beer with pasta has one.

The Greater Miami CVB has noted that the restaurant brings the same precision to its mocktails as to its food, singling out the Sober Surfer. That is the correct read: this is not a bar with a good NA list, it is a kitchen whose standards happen to extend to the glass.

Book well ahead — two dozen seats and a Michelin star is a difficult combination. It is a full restaurant with a wine list, not an alcohol-free venue. The neon exclamation point beside the laundromat is the only signage — it is easy to drive past, and that is deliberate.
