Diners’ Choice Winner for three consecutive years, Villa Azur is a South of France-inspired culinary and entertainment destination known for its avant-garde cuisine in the heart of South Beach. The enchanted open-air courtyard is one of the most distinguishing features of the restaurant, enabling guests to dine and dance under the stars, creating an unparalleled atmosphere. French staples like Tuna Tartare can be found intermingled with other flavorful plates big enough to share, like the Grilled Whole Branzino or 32oz Dry-Aged Bone-In Striploin, and aside from its savory mains, sweeter offerings by way of dessert and cocktail feature a Vegan Macadamia Cheesecake and Dark Chocolate Gâteau. The restaurant and lounge pride itself on offering guests a one-of-a-kind experience with unique programming all week long, including “The Original Thursday Night Party,” with themed greeters and live entertainment ranging from saxophonists to dancers and DJs.
