Miami Beach, FL – November 25, 2024 – MOTEK, South Florida’s beloved Mediterranean restaurant, will officially open its newest location in Miami Beach’s historic South of Fifth neighborhood on November 27th.

Taking over the iconic Prime Fish and former Nemo Restaurant space at 100 Collins Ave. — right next door to Maman and around the corner from Carbone and Joe’s Stone Crab — this sixth location marks a significant milestone in MOTEK’s growth since opening in 2020, offering a vibrant culinary experience enriched by consulting Chef Hmodi Okala, known for his MasterChef Israel appearances and expertise in Middle Eastern cuisines.
