Wayan NYC brings its beloved French-Indonesian cuisine to Miami for a limited-time Wynwood residency
Cédric and Ochi Vongerichten, the husband-and-wife team behind the acclaimed New York City French-Indonesian restaurants Wayan and Ma•dé, announce that Wayan will pop up in Wynwood, bringing their signature French-Indonesian cooking to Miami from January 16th through May 2026.
Located at 50 NW 24th St, Miami FL 33127, the Wynwood residency will showcase Wayan’s vibrant, shareable menu, inspired by the bold flavors of Southeast Asia and informed by classic French technique — shaped by Cédric’s upbringing and training under his father, Jean-Georges Vongerichten — and thoughtfully adapted to highlight local seafood and seasonal ingredients, including the region’s beloved stone crab, Key West shrimp, Wahoo, and more.
“Miami has always felt like a natural extension of Wayan,” says Chef Cédric. “The energy, the warmth, the proximity to incredible seafood, allows us to cook the food we love in a way that feels fresh, spontaneous, and rooted in place. This residency gives us the time to really build something meaningful with the community, rather than just passing through.”
The space reflects the warm, transportive spirit of Wayan’s downtown Manhattan flagship while embracing Miami’s sun-soaked aesthetic. Anchored by an open kitchen, the layout includes six seats at the bar, twelve at the chef’s counter, seventy in the main dining room, and twenty outdoor seats. Natural materials and an earthy color palette define the design, with wooden elements, lush greenery, and handcrafted details inspired by Indonesian craftsmanship. Select materials and wall elements are sourced from Indonesia, adding texture and cultural depth. Woven rattan light fixtures, a banana-leaf chandelier, and soft ambient lighting complete the space, creating an inviting environment for shared plates and lingering meals.
“Our goal is always to create spaces that feel welcoming and soulful,” adds Ochi. “We want guests to feel like they can settle in, share dishes, and experience the hospitality that’s so central to Indonesian culture, while still feeling connected to where they are.”
The menu highlights Wayan favorites alongside dishes created specifically for the Miami residency. Guests can begin with a selection of satays, including Key West Shrimp with sambal matah and key lime, Chicken with peanut sauce and lime,Lamb with sweet soy and pickled pepper, offered a la carte or as a combination platter.
