Authentic Israeli restaurants are getting their time to shine across South Florida, and adding to the growing roster will be one by a James Beard award-winning chef.

On Friday, March 14, 1 Hotel South Beach will welcome Aviv, a new restaurant by James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Solomonov and restaurateur Steve Cook.

Although Israeli chef Michael Solomonov's name is now synonymous with Philadelphia's culinary scene, thanks to the success of his first restaurant, Zahav, which debuted in 2008, his influence has steadily spread across the nation.

Michael Solomonov doesn’t just have discerning standards for his food. The Philadelphia-based chef and his business partner, Steve Cook, are also particular about expanding beyond the City of Brotherly Love.

One of the most anticipated new restaurants of 2025 is ready to open its doors in Miami Beach.

Miami’s restaurant boom continues with a new wave of “made-in-Dubai” brands; plus, all the major openings slated for this season.

Passover is a Jewish holiday steeped in tradition, but is set apart from other religious events in that the occasion and its observance is largely about food.

In Miami’s ever-evolving culinary scene, a new name is set to take center stage: Aviv is the latest creation from the five-time James Beard Award-winning hospitality group CookNSolo.

Chef Michael Solomonov and restaurateur Steve Cook are officially making their return to Miami. Opening at 1 Hotel South Beach on March 14th, Aviv is a fun new concept by the five-time James Beard award-winning team.

Last winter, nearly 3.9 million domestic tourists visited Miami, many of them hoping to thaw out on its fabled beaches.
