Cafe Kush is a retro Euro-inspired Bistro version of our iconic Kush concepts, located at the iconic Gold Dust Motel. Kush Cafe is meant to combine the best of a European bistro with an in-your-face Miami attitude. The Motel, built in the year 1957, recently taken over by Selina hotel group, is reborn and better than ever. Located in the neighborhood along Biscayne Boulevard previously coined the “The Motel Capital of Miami in what is now the MiMo district. Selina restored the old Motel and fused the iconic retro vibes of old Miami with the exciting energy and strong artist culture of the present.

Playing off the art deco vibes of the neighborhood, the motel-style of the hotel, and the relaxing water view means this funky cafe will transport guests to their very own Miami Riviera. In typical Kush style, the cafe’s walls are adorned with vintage thrift shop decor and a collection of personal artifacts from Matt’s family (His grandmother's vintage French hat box from the '60s and a family book of sauces just to name a few).

These carefully selected items create a unique vibe and add a sprinkle of Parisian flair, translating the restaurant into a Euro-style river cafe with unique touches of Miami to stay true to our 305 roots.

The menu includes classics such as French onion soup, Croque Monsieurs, Ratatouille, and Frog Legs but also keeps the Kush essentials like award-winning burgers, local craft beer, Chicken and Waffles, and Key Lime Pie combining the best of American and Bistro cuisine.

The cocktails are a stand-alone reason to become a regular. The devil is in the details from Matt's homemade vermouth aged for one month, to cocktails served in cigar boxes and finished with spritzes from vintage perfume bottles—each one offers a luxe nostalgia. In addition to the cafe’s eight signature cocktails, the café will also serve a collection of wines from France and beyond.

Cafe Kush offers a warm welcome to both nomadic travelers and locals alike, but most importantly, an experience beyond the ordinary.
