about
Located at the Four Seasons Tower on Brickell Avenue, Caviar Russe is dishing out its Michelin Starred Caviar, Crudos and Gourmet specialties. After 17 years on Madison Avenue in NYC, Caviar Russe decided to tap its first expansion to the up and coming culinary center of the south - Miami, Florida.

Chef David Valencia is credited with bringing the high-end fusion of Latin, French and Asian cuisine to the forefront of American palates. Born in Colombia, and a veteran of Alain Ducasse’s global empire, Valencia participated in the opening a series of New York City restaurants; Adour, The Modern, The Plaza’s Oak Room, Catch with Top Chef winner Hung Huynh, Pier 9 and other locations; Fuse in Texas, Daniel Stern’s R2L in Philadelphia, Catch in Miami and Meat Market in Palm Beach.
Before coming to the United States, only knowing how to say "no" in English, Valencia was cooking farm-to-table in Colombia. His large family parties typically involved killing a pig, butchering and then preparing. To him, helping to cook an animal, start to finish was normal. David Valencia carries this appreciation for where food comes from and how it is prepared with him in his preparations today at Caviar Russe in Miami.
From a young age, Valencia showed a talent for cooking, running a Pizzeria in Monticello at age 16. It was his talent here which led a local hunter to request him to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for an upstate hunting club of around 40 hunters. Valencia took the opportunity very seriously, with little culinary experience and no clue how to cook venison, the Manhattan transplant implemented the vigorous research of recipes and by the next morning was in the kitchen cooking breakfast. The hunters' love and appreciation of his food drove him to go to culinary school in New York City and eventually brought him to the Executive Chef of Caviar Russe, showcasing a menu with caviar, raw bar and crudo-inspired cuisine to most recently the Executive Chef of Costa Palm Beach.
