Bachour’s ambiance is as meticulously crafted as its menu. Guests enter through an arch of roses into a sleek, industrial-chic interior with exposed ductwork, cement floors, and natural tones. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, creating an airy and welcoming environment. At the same time, an open kitchen allows diners to watch the chefs in action, with a glass-enclosed pastry station showcasing bakers at work. Brightly colored tarts, mirror-glazed cakes, and macarons line the shelves, setting the tone of artistry and palpable interest in the enticing sweet section, the visual heart of the restaurant.
The all-encompassing menu is a testament to Bachour’s dual mastery of sweet and savory. Meals might start with ham croquettes paired with garlic aïoli or a seafood causa salad with aji amarillo-infused potato purée. Pasta lovers won’t want to miss the fettuccine pomodoro, while the all-day menu also features egg sandwiches, steak sandwiches, and lemon risotto. Of course, no visit would be complete without indulging in Bachour’s iconic desserts, like his mango-passion fruit macarons, hazelnut pain aux raisins, or a slice of lemon pie.
Chef Bachour’s passion for pastry began in his parents’ Lebanese bakery in Puerto Rico, where he started baking croissants and bread at just 13. Inspired by the intricate techniques of the bakery’s pastry chef, he pursued formal culinary education in New York. Over the years, he honed his craft in esteemed kitchens across Florida, including Talula, Devito South Beach, and Scarpetta, before refining his chocolate and pastry skills at L’École Valrhona in France. By 2011, Bachour was named one of Dessert Professional Magazine’s Top 10 US Pastry Chefs while serving as Corporate Pastry Chef for St. Regis Hotels.
Known for incorporating bold tropical flavors like mango, passion fruit, and coconut into his desserts, Bachour combines his Puerto Rican roots with sleek, modern aesthetics. His signature creations, including vibrantly colored mirror-glazed cakes and delicately layered pastries, have garnered global acclaim.
Bachour Miami has earned numerous accolades, including a Bib Gourmand designation from the Michelin Guide in 2022, recognizing its exceptional quality at a reasonable price. In 2024, the restaurant received La Liste’s Pastry Innovation Award, further solidifying his status as a leader in dessert artistry. Whether enjoying breakfast, lunch, or an indulgent dessert, visiting Bachour offers a memorable dining experience that blends precision, creativity, and flavor.
