Superbe ambiance. Service was ok. Food was . One stop shop. A lot of variety and themes all in one place. Did I mention they also have a roof top. Definitely recommended. read more

This place is awesomeeee. The last time I was here was in 2019 and I always kept thinking I need to go back. Well I was not disappointed. There is an awesome thrift/ vintage shop inside where I made some fun purchases, there was another cool boutique inside to browse and do some shopping. The foodhall did not disappoint and the rooftop bar was super fun! The bartenders were all super friendly and made conversation with the customers! read more

One of the first places I visited when I moved to Miami 3 years ago and I still frequent it! Great vegan options, amazing diverse food choices, great shops/vintage store and THE ROOF TOP! Apart from it being #AVibe, the drinks are great, happy hour rocks and the people that work at the Citadel are always so cool and friendly. Something I also love is that people come with their families for food and to play Jenga while others, me and my friends, come for drinks and bites. 100% a recommend from me. Great place to take out-of-town friends visiting and even better for a date night, Sunday Funday or girls-night-out! read more

The Citadel - Veggie Massaman Curry - HUGE PORTION and Amazingly Delish! - Food Court Near Me - Miami, Florida

Opened in February of 2019, the Citadel is the latest and largest entry into Miami's food hall craze which is a popular concept in Europe. Located in the area known as Little River or Little Haiti depending on who is talking it actually has a parking lot which is a rarity for Miami. The Citadel takes it's name from the Citadel La Ferriere, a fortress that sat on a top of a mountain between 1805 and 1820. It allowed Haitians to gain their independence and stave off European invaders. It is a symbol of the Haitian people's resistance. The building was a First Federal Savings & Loan Bank in 1951. It was remodeled in 2016 but it's MiMo (Miami Modern) architectural style was preserved. The 62,000 square foot building has 15 different food and beverage stalls, a 5,000 square foot rooftop bar called Vue, a marketplace called Finery, and a radio production studio broadcaster Entercom Communications on the third floor. My girlfriend and I ventured out on a rainy afternoon to do some food exploration. The vendors in the Citadel include 33 Kitchen: Peruvian, Ash! Pizza Parlor: wood-fired Neapolitan pizza restaurant, Bachour: pastries and gourmet chocolates, Bianco Gelato: Italian gelato, Il Nuts: Israeli nuts, seeds and snacks, Manjay: Caribbean cuisine, Festival Manjay's: Indian, Meet 'n Cheese: charcuterie, Palmar: Chinese, Rare Burger: hamburgers, Taquiza Casa de Masa: Mexican, Palma Juice Co.: salads and juices, Vice City Bean: coffee, and Sakaya Kirtchen/Society BBQ: Chicken and BBQ. There is also a full bar spanning the north wall from which I ordered a delicious La Pera cocktail. After we did the full tour my friend decided on pizza from Ash! and I had the Totopos from Taquiza. You can order at the stalls or there are servers working in the food hall with portable credit card machines and you can order from one of them. Seating is at communal tables, high bars, and smaller tables. For dessert we could not pass up the pastries at Bachour. They had a much smaller selection than what is offered at their Coral Gables restaurant but what they did offer was just as delicious. I had a coconut cheesecake pastry and a chocolate croissant to go. It was fun to explore all of the different places to eat. Prices are not inexpensive but the quality of the food is high. I would like to go back to check out some of the other places i missed. I would also like to try the rooftop bar which was closed on our Sunday afternoon visit. read more

Ambience is A1 david at the rooftop bar was a genuine staaaaaaaaar be back soon to check out the food hall.

I happened to come across this place when I was looking for Lao food because-cravings. It's in an up and coming part of town but once you walk through those doors you're in a whole different world. We went for the Lil' Laos restaurant booth. We placed our order for: khao poon, chicken wings, pork ribs, papaya salad, and rice. The khao poon was very sweet and mostly veggies. But still good for a quick craving. The papaya salad was not that good IMO. But A-for effort. Ribs and chicken wings were great. Before getting our food we noticed the seafood restaurant booth and decide to do a chef's choice half dozen, which was great. There's also a bar in the citadel, so I did a margarita which was perfect. They also had a coffee/bakery goods booth, so we did a few cappuccinos to finish our lunch off. Overall, I really enjoyed the music, cleanliness, options/variety, and etc. There were employees who walked around and cleaned off tables and were very nice. Next door there's a clothing store, but if you're around my age and like beach wear/clubbing attire there's a boutique across the street called Mabel love with all the cute outfits you can think of. read more

While the roof top has great views, the service has much to be desired. The drinks tasted like they there made by someone who is opposed to drinking. The prices in the menu do not reflect the prices on the bill. Bottom line, great view, so so service and very expensive and badly prepared drinks read more

The rooftop experience is over the top(no pun). The beat meal I had was the Jerk Chicken Bites from Manjay. Seasoned to perfection my boy! My other two orders were great as well. The Salmon Crispy rice was very tasty and the oysters really hit the spot. Shoutout to the bartender that was working 4/23 in the morning, because the drinks were fire read more

Definitely a good concept in an area that is gentrifying. Venue (3/5) I only sat inside the food hall. The rooftop was closed when I went. Sit at the bar and walk around and order food at different venues. Great place to sit and try different foods. Saw dogs, small groups, dates.... Cute place but I can see seating be an issue, not as many .... Food (3/5) wide variety. Got a poke bowl that was fantastic and some raw clams. Price tag was steep for the area. This is what ruined it. Either way decent bar foods to share. Maybe better during happy hour, I'd like to try that. Service (4/5) great! People were nice and found me to give me my order. Bar tenders were awesome! read more

I came to the Citadel for a quick business meeting that ended up being a 5-hour adventure of food, drinks and fun. I was pleasantly pleased to find well-lit FREE parking available behind the building. I was also excited that we ended up being there during happy hour. The $5 margaritas are actually quite good. You must try the coconut margarita! The cayenne pepper added a nice touch of spice without overwhelming the drink. I'm not certain of the brand of tequila that was used and I'm not a big tequila fan anyhow, but for $5... who cares?! This is a really cool place that has a food hall concept; a growing trend for foodies. It's the Barnum effect. There's something here for everyone! We started off with two margaritas and then ordered some tacos from Taquiza (shrimp tacos and the corn tacos). While the shrimp tacos had decent sized shrimp and were good in flavor, I do find that $5 per taco for the size of the taco was a bit expensive. The price for the size makes me less likely to order from them again. Since we were there so long (and needed to soak up some alcohol) we also ordered a pizza. We ordered the Geronimo Pizza (sans carne) and the truffle pizza. Both were unique in flavor and very good. I'm a big fan of fresh mozzarella or buffala on my pizza so this was a pleasant surprise that I found a place that would serve me the burrata/buffala on my pizza just the way I like it, creamy and amazing! Overall, I will return to the Citadel. I love the location in Little River. You get great food and a chill spot without all the hustle and bustle or headaches of Wynwood, Brickell and Midtown. read more

The Citadel is yet another food hall that popped up in Miami. This one, however, is located in an upcoming neighborhood called Little River which I drive by almost every day. I remember this building was abandoned for years so I'm glad that they have finally started revitalizing this neighborhood. I came here on a Sunday morning after church. I think it was around 11:30 and there was nobody there except for the vendors and 2 couples. And I was Ok with that because I had the entire food hall to myself...LOL :) There are about 12 vendors inside including a coffee bar, gelato, burgers, Chinese food, pizza, and tacos just to name a few. There's also a long bar on one side of the dining hall. Just keep in mind, the food offerings here are not your run of the mill food court so prepare to pay a premium. Palmar happened to be one of those vendors so that's where I ended up getting food. I ordered the 63 Degree Egg Fried Rice and it was mighty delicious. It was $11 so it's pretty affordable but if you add protein, its $5 more. While I waited for my food, I actually made my way to the bar and got a Spicy Bloody Mary. You can also order cocktails once you've sat down because they have bar runners roaming around the dining area. My drink was $12 so it's pretty much across the board among other food halls I've visited. One advantage of this food hall was the free parking behind the building and there's also plenty of metered parking. Another bonus was the rooftop but it's only open from 4pm to close so I will just have to come back and check it out. From what I've heard, they have live music on some nights and $5 happy hour. Oh BTW, there also a Museum of Sustainability Pop-Up exhibition next door that's also worth checking out. read more

Went for Tuesday trivia and happy hour . Was a disaster , trivia did not go on , lychee martini $10 tasted zero alchohol too sweet and fruit tasted rotten, beer $5 came from a can and only poured half cup, had to ask for the whole can. Ordered pizza $10, waited patiently 40 minutes politely asking , bartender did not care -at all- until we got another to intervene , then still did not care, said its "lost" and would refund , I pointed to the pizza place 20 ft away and said I'm starving for dinner can you please go get a pizza for me that I paid for already? . The answer "no" . Answer to I'm starving , "no, go buy another one at regular price because happy hour is over"- that after an hour now of waiting and fustration . The happy hour food that we got , croquetas $1 taqueria $1, Misubi $2 empanada $3(?), was not worth it at all incredibly small and very poor quality almost not edible wouldn't even pay .50 for them if a choice . Left hungry fustrated and starving .ruined our night out. Paid the 18% tip in advance so I'm the sucker read more

FIVE STARS FOR CITADEL - ONE STAR FOR MIAMI SHORES FISH MARKET It's a shame that they don't have their own listing so I can review them directly and rarely do I take the time to do this, but we were super frustrated with our last order there and I had to vent about it. We have ordered from there tons of time as we love their ceviche. Although expensive ($22.95) for a rather small serving, it's very good and has always been very satisfying. However, we purchased 2 today (upwards of $45) and literally there were like 4 pieces of small fish chunks in each of the cups, the rest of the cup was a huge lettuce leaf and some onions. Regularly I wouldn't point this out, but we truly felt robbed, especially from a place that we order from all the time. read more

I came to Citadel everyday when I visited Miami and lived around there. It was a beautiful space! They have so many different foods choices so you will never feel bored after one time visit. And actually you will want to go back for other foods. I tried the Chinese food and Caribbean food the first day. And bbq the second day, and the gelato the third day. And everyday I have Vice City's coffee. I just enjoyed this beautiful space and good foods. The cocktail drink is nice too with a nice bar. By the way, I'm a foodie artist. I draw for some popular restaurants and food magazines. Check out my "Yummy Art" at my Instagram @qululululu and website Qululululu.com read more

The place is very cute , we went on a Tuesday night around 630pm. the crowd was decent. There is a lot of options for food they all sounded delicious. The Elote was DELICIOUS! And the ribs / brisket were also pretty good. The only thing i found a little crazy was the price for a pizza , we had gone to share some stuff and a pizza was on the list, for a small sized pizza it was $17 , that's pretty steep in my opinion lol. But everything else was decently priced. read more

So this place popped up on yelp as a happy hour spot, so we stopped by. It was set up like a cafeteria with different venues to eat at in one big space with seating in the middle and a bar along the back wall. We ended up getting tacos at taquiza and omg they were fantastic. I tried the mushroom one, the carnitas and the shrimp as well as the one with goat meat and they were all delish. We also got the chips with salsa and guacamole. Yummy!! I mean so far the best in Miami and I love love and live for tacos!! At the bar, the girl was very sweet and had one of my favorite tequilas (avion repasado) so I have that with my tacos and I was very pleased! The place is huge and can take big or small party's. They also had a lot of desert booths though I was too full on my 80 tacos lol but they looked so delish! The place wasn't busy at all but suspect that if it was, it would be popping!! I will be bac for sure! Also there is parking in the back for free :-) read more

First place I ever see that charges you for ice and to order drinks "neat". (Just the spirit). Management of the rooftop acknowledged that they charge us more because they were not able to water down the drinks. (They we're not able to shake it with ice before pouring it on the glasses). So they charged us $4 extra per neat drink plus another $2 for "rocks"... Such shame.. the place is nice the waiters are nice and the food is good but this is unacceptable... read more

If you've ever been to New York, this place KIND of has Chelsea market vibes. It's not nearly as big BUT they have great food, dessert and drink options. I went during happy hour and basically all drinks were $5. Pretty cheap for quality, great tasting drinks. Also $5 drinks in Miami? You can't go wrong. The place itself has modern rustic vibes, so it's very aesthetically pleasing (if you're into that). read more

I love the building and ambience along with the crowd. Unfortunately the food was horrible. I had the Churrasco, salad and fried Yuca from 33 Kitchen and I was very dissatisfied. The steak was rubbery and the salad had an unbelievable amount of lemon juice. Since I was still hungry I tried a burger with no bun from the Rare Burger spot and again I could have had a better burger from any school cafeteria that would have been better. Sorry but the only time I would return is if I had dinner prior. I hope improvements with quality food comes soon. read more

One of Miami's newest food hall establishments to open. Nothing too fancy about this place, but amazing food & a chill ambiance suited for any occasion. Bring a date, bring friends & even make a family night out. I was shocked to discover that they have provided two free parking lots for customers in addition to street parking. Price points range from $7-20 per item depending on what your tastebuds are. Food types includes Mediterranean, Caribbean, Asian Fusion, Pizzas, tacos, burgers....and a full bar! The Tasty: We ordered from three restaurants. "33 Kitchen" (Mediterranean) we ordered the grilled octopus w/a sweet potato purée. Octopus was really tender & not chewy. The potato purée pairs perfectly with the cilantro flavor. "Taquiza Tacos" we ordered their elote & quesadilla. Their tacos & quesadillas are served on a purple tortilla with fried cheese within the portion of meat & other ingredients. Gives each bite a fun experience. "Manjay" (Caribbean) we ordered their Griyo. A crispy outer layer of pork, but soft and juicy meat under. Comes with a cilantro & pickled onion rice that's really good. read more

This is one of the many food halls that are opening up and I'm here for it! It gives me the chance to try different restaurants all at once! First off the parking isn't the best to be honest. They have a small parking lot but it fits maybe 20 cars but they do have street parking behind that. And unless you know what you're looking for, you might also miss it because they name isn't that big. But once you're inside, you're in awe! To the right there's the food hall and to the left there seems to be some ping pong tables and a lounge type area. I think it's multiple floors but I didn't explore that much when i went. I sat at the bar cause it was still happy hour and got a beer from MIA brewery for $5 which was great! It was bustling with people for it being a weekday but it's family friendly because I saw a lot of kids. After happy hour ended I decided to get some food and after walking around a bit, I decided ok Taquiza tacos and I'm so happy I did. A lover of tacos, I decided to get one of each taco, a shrimp, a chicken, a barbacoa and carnitas taco. They're very basic to be honest but bursting with flavor and come in a blue corn tortilla which is pretty cool. The food was made fresh and pretty quick and they have a seating area right there. I can't wait to come back and explore more of this place! read more

JUST AN AWESOME SPOT Love the huge open dining area. There are a ton of restaurants to choose from. Great spot to come with friends. The rooftop lounge is great as well. Feels like a nice hidden away gem. Went to the rooftop with my husband a couple weeks ago for dinner and it was very romantic. We had a wonderful time. So happy that we discovered this place. We had driven past it so many times before actually stopping in. Glad we did! Check it out. You won't regret it and it might just become your new favorite spot. read more

Only thing I hate about this place ... the fact that it opened the year after I moved from the hood Other than that detail, this is everything that little Haiti / Mimo district needed. I went on a Sunday expecting to have to spend 20 minutes of my life looking for parking, but they have a parking lot! I CANNOT CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT! Beyond that HUGE detail, this place is adorable. They did a phenomenal job on the decor, making it a spot that is trendy (full of foliage and cool tile work) but not unapproachable. Make sure to bring your diet (and wallet) there are over 10 booths of delicious food to try from Indian to pizza, burgers and smoothies. There is something for everyone. read more

Yay, another food hall! I love that these food halls are popping up all over Miami. It's a great concept to bring together some of the great local spots where the clients have options! We're all about options today. I love that I can walk over to the bar, grab a drink and then walk around to grab a taco and some Korean fried chicken. And then I could also get pastries and desserts! Super cool. Great space for big groups and still nice enough to catch up with a friend. The decor is so nice - very modern rustic (I don't even know if that makes any sense). There's also a roof top area that I've heard can be rented out for events. One side of this multi-space doubles as their marketplace for vendors to sell their handmade goods. When its not being occupied by vendors, there's many tables and chairs. Oh! They have happy hour on Tuesdays to Fridays from 4 to 8 pm. This place is quickly becoming more popular each week. I hope the prices don't skyrocket and that the parking doesn't get too difficult. read more

Collective vendors cook their fare to be served on the rooftop. Good non presumptuous ambiance and great drinks. If you feel like having a bite i recommend the Haitian conch fritters as far as drinks I recommend Uno, Dos, Tres as the choice...but that's just me. Shout out to Ashley! She was awesome, very unlike what I usually deal with Miami wait staff. She was funny, charming and very helpful. read more

Ok this is really 3.5 stars because there is really a lot of awesomeness here. I wish I could give this new foodhall five stars because it really is pretty cool. There are several vendors and the layout is pretty cohesive and the options are varied and can satisfy everyone's cravings. I, per usual, wanted Peruvian so I opted for 33 kitchen because I was so excited to see them there since they're no longer in the grove. Well. The food was delicious ... but what was really awful was getting a sample size portion of ceviche for almost $20. Most fish based cebiches are already slightly under that as it is and are properly served. So I would probably never order from there again. They were by far the most expensive. The cocktail area is cool and drinks are very reasonably priced. One of the drinks we got was quite bland and the bartender re made it without a second thought and nailed it. Sakaya per usual made some killer wings and food - at reasonable prices. Loved their KFC. The vendors in the second part of the food hall were already wrapping up when we got there but it looks like that would probably be worth going back to check out again while sampling some other vendors. read more

A cute new food hall (one of MANY opening in Miami) of lots of known Miami restaurants. Some Miami favorites such as taquiza, Sakaya, and bachour have locations here, as well as some other local businesses. The communal tables and bar area are cute, with natural wood and string lights. The bar cocktails sounded great and from the ones being taken to tables near me, looked great too. We ordered a classic burger from rare burger and the pork Katsu sandwich from sakaya. The burger was pretty good (although nothing out of this world) as was the sandwich. The sandwich was actually a full fried pork chop, bone and all, making it less of a quick sandwich, but was delicious. I would return to citadel to try some of the specialty cocktails and some of the other food concepts here. They also have other non-food spaces that seem interesting. read more

(English) European style food hall is what The Citadel is all about. Featuring restaurant counters with many options to choose from, Italian, Chinese, Korean, Mexican, you name it! everything you are craving will be available. Not just the food is absolutely delicious, the ambiance is amazing, the decor is beautiful and trendy. There is a nice long bar where you can also eat and enjoy a drink. I tried all different counters and one that stands out for me was the Totopos from Tequiza, hand-torn blue masa chip & salsa with some guac on the side is like no chip ever!! Another dish that standout for me was the Jerk Chicken Bites the flavor out of this world. Definitely a must! Everything from each counter was delicious, if you are looking for specific these would be the best for me, but there are delicious Charcuterie Cones from Meat 'N Cheese, Truffle Pizza from Ash!, Burgers from Rare Burger and different other flavors. It's really hard not to order something from every single stand. I would definitely recommend this place for a date or even a nice dinner with friends, this place won't disappoint you, very cool vibes, and good food.

Whenever I'm home I like to find a new place to try some new drinks. On a random Tuesday a friend of mine told me to check out The Citadel. It's a lot of things. Shopping, food and a bar. The bar had a creative menu with drinks like a Miami Shore Mule & Tequila Basil Limonado. While the drinks looked tasty I was in a mood for a margarita. There was a large party gathered for an event and they were all raving about a spicy margarita. I asked for one too and whewwwwww. Spicy yet sweet and after a couple you would need a ride home. I nicknamed it the Lorita after the bartender. Overall this place had a really nice vibe and pretty much everything you would need for a good time except without the music. I definitely have to come back to experience the rooftop that is opened on Wednesday. If you guys check it out ask for Lauren & tell her to make you a Lorita! read more

Yes this is a food hall but how many of them come with breezy sunset views in a tropical rooftop? The food options are fantastic....everything from local coffee to Caribbean soul food, from cheese courses to Asian delights. You can even find a rustic flower shop and a boutique space with items from local vendors. The bar is fantastic! There's one in the main area as well as at the rooftop. The Citadel Colada is a must!...well if you do like piña colada! There plenty of great craft cocktail options. We decided on a variety of dishes...from Lil Laos the chicken soup, pig ears, and crispy mushrooms (my fave....could drink up the sauce!). Also had some bomb Duck ramen and shrimp katsu bowl from Yuzu. And a delicious classic burger and fries from USB. Everything was satisfying and fantastic and of course, we had ice cream from fricecream...even grabbed some pints to-go!! ...the pecan pie ice cream is heavenly! Needless to say we had a great time and service was fantastic. It's a great option for those looking to dine outdoors and there's no need to wonder about the inside area, just go right to the rooftop and you will have everything brought to you. read more
