If you’re like me, lifestyle is everything. When I moved into real estate, I didn’t leave behind my eye for quality, style, and connection — I just brought it into a new space: helping others find homes that support who they are.
And for many of my clients, especially those looking for a vibrant, soulful lifestyle steeped in community and elevated taste — being close to Surfside’s dynamic kosher dining scene is more than a perk. It’s a serious quality-of-life upgrade.
Let me explain why…
Surfside has become a culinary mecca for kosher food lovers — not just because of the food’s integrity, but because the experiences are just that good. Whether it’s a Shabbat dinner to remember or a Tuesday night craving, Surfside offers kosher dining that feels both elevated and effortlessly cool.
A few local favorites:
Cine Citta Caffe – Elegant dairy with an Italian soul — ideal for a stylish brunch or light bite after shopping at Bal Harbour Shops.
Fuego by Mana – For the meat lovers. Chic, contemporary steakhouse vibes with kosher precision.
Rustiko – Dairy and ambience. Love the branzino and easy salads.
Mutra – North Miami beach must see. Israeli Farm to table experience by Raz Shabtai. Raz’s grandmother was the inspiration and you feel her love all around while dining.
Bambu – Chinese food with flavor, casual family style dining experience and sealed with a fortune cookie. Great for large families!
And the list goes on…
Now let’s talk real estate — and lifestyle alignment.
Whether you're an observant family, someone who values cultural depth, or just appreciate having access to clean, intentional cuisine — being within minutes of Surfside is a major advantage. Here's why Keystone Islands, Sans Souci, Bay Harbor, and Bal Harbour are worth watching:
These hidden-gem neighborhoods in North Miami offer gated tranquility, deep-water docks, and a surprisingly short drive to Surfside (about 10–15 minutes). You get the serenity of suburban waterfront life with quick access to the vibrancy of kosher dining, shuls, and community events.
This is ideal for those who want to host Shabbat on the water, or simply crave balance: spacious homes, a boat in your backyard, and a table at Harbor Grill just minutes away.
I’m seeing more and more clients fall in love with Bay Harbor — and I get it. It’s walkable, peaceful, and brimming with new, design-forward developments. And it places you literally across the bridge from Surfside. Want to stroll to dinner at Cine Citta after a sunset walk? This is your spot.
Bonus: A tight-knit, stylish community with highly rated schools (like Ruth K. Broad), a pedestrian-friendly town center, and an upscale yet relaxed vibe also a beloved bus stop for Jewish Day Schools nearby.
This is Miami luxury at its finest — beachfront high-rises, the legendary Bal Harbour Shops, and some of the most elegant homes in South Florida. But what most people don’t talk about is its proximity to Surfside’s kosher epicenter. For those who prioritize both glamour and tradition, Bal Harbour offers a seamless fusion.
As someone who built brands around personal expression and elegance, I believe your home should support how you live — in every way. Being near Surfside’s kosher offerings while living in a stunning, waterfront neighborhood isn’t just convenient. It’s intentional.
Whether you’re ready to explore the Bay Harbor lifestyle or curious about the investment potential of Sans Souci, I’m here to help you connect with the places that nourish your life.
Style sells. I deliver both. Let’s find your home.
