At the Delano Hotel in Miami the formal Phillipe Stark designed restaurant, Blue Door with its farcical Dali influenced scheme and lovely terrace for alfresco dining has opened another separate venue called Plat Bleu. It is located at the end of the lobby, and reveals a more subdued and austere design with lower lighting and a more “clubby” feel. Celebrity-Chef Claude Troisgros replaces former Blue Door’s co-owner Madonna as the impetus to dine there, and now the attraction is on the plate rather than on the air-kissing crowd that departed with the material girl. Although the Plat Bleu feels and is more casual; the prices do not follow. The menu is a melange of French cuisine and simple Brazilian cooking that has evolved over the period at Claude’s CT Brasserie, his new and popular hit restaurant in Rio de Janeiro. The kitchen is open late: until 2 a.m. on weekdays and 4 a.m. on weekends. That should be welcome news to Miami’s late club set!
