Inside Nu Stadium's Culinary Program: Michelle Bernstein, Brad Kilgore, and Miami's Best Bites on the Concourse
Premier Guide Miami ·
When Inter Miami CF’s Nu Stadium opened on April 4, 2026, it didn’t just raise the bar for MLS venues — it set a new standard for stadium dining in American soccer. Developed in collaboration with global hospitality leader Delaware North, the 26,700-seat stadium’s food and beverage program is a love letter to Miami’s culinary culture, anchored by two of the city’s most celebrated chefs and a concourse packed with local favorites.
James Beard Award-winning chef Michelle Bernstein leads Mercado MIA, a market-style concession on the main concourse offering grab-and-go items alongside stadium classics. Her menu includes Ham and Cheese Croquettes, Cuban Sandwich Empanadas, and Choriпán with Argentine chorizo on a baguette with chimichurri — dishes that feel unmistakably Miami.
“Miami’s culinary scene is as diverse and vibrant as the city itself, and that’s exactly what we wanted to capture at Nu Stadium. We’ve curated a program that celebrates local talent, delivers an unmatched premium club experience, and uses best-in-class technology to make every interaction faster and more seamless.”
The concourse lineup reads like a greatest-hits of South Florida dining: Coyo Taco on the Publix Terrace, Club de la Milanesa (Leo Messi’s favorite) in Section 129, Doggi’s Arepas with two locations, Café Bustelo Bar & Ventanita with Cuban coffee and Caracas Bakery pastries, La Birra Bar near the supporter section, Miami Slice at Sections 105 and 135, and the 185-foot Modelo Especial Bar — the longest stadium bar in MLS.
At the top end, Nu Club — a club-within-a-club nestled above the locker rooms — is led by culinary director Brad Kilgore, with a cocktail program by Harbour Club. The West Club, an all-inclusive experience for approximately 2,000 guests, features a food-festival-style atmosphere with rotating chef residencies and menus curated by Executive Chef Marvi Mapa. The East Club offers a more accessible premium entry point with Coyo Taco, Vice City Pizza, and Miss Crispy Rice.
Technology is woven throughout: Inter Miami CF and Sportservice have deployed autonomous checkout, smart queuing, and real-time inventory systems designed specifically for the intensity of halftime demand in fútbol. The goal is simple — less time in line, more time watching the match. Tickets at intermiamicf.com/tickets.
