Chef Nina Compton’s Compère Lapin Residency at Four Seasons Miami

Thursday, March 21, 2024

The culinary landscape of Miami is about to be transformed as the Four Seasons Hotel Miami welcomes Chef Nina Compton, a James Beard Award winner, and her renowned restaurant Compère Lapin, for an exclusive monthlong residency starting Friday, April 19, 2024.

Having lived in both New York and Miami, Chef Compton’s heart was captured by New Orleans, where she debuted Compère Lapin to widespread acclaim. With accolades such as the 2018 James Beard “Best Chef: South” and a 2023 James Beard “Outstanding Chef” semi-finalist, Chef Compton’s cuisine is a fusion of her Caribbean heritage, French culinary training, and extensive experience with Italian flavors.

Returning to Miami, Chef Compton will infuse Compère Lapin at Four Seasons with her signature style, blending Caribbean influences with French and Italian techniques, while celebrating the vibrant spirit of Miami.

Offering unique lunch and dinner menus, Compère Lapin at Four Seasons will be a dynamic dining destination set in a rooftop indoor-outdoor space above Brickell. Menu highlights include Hamachi Crudo with Passion Fruit and Yuca, Tuna Tartare with Crispy Dasheen Chips, Stone Crabs with Spicy Aioli, and a decadent Seafood Tower. Signature entrees showcase Chef Compton’s famed Fried Chicken with Coconut Grits and Pickles, Blackened Lobster with Black Eye Peas and Collards, and Whole Roasted Snapper with Papaya and Soft Herbs. Dessert options feature indulgent treats like Coconut Tres Leches with Guava Sorbet, Mango Crème Brulée, and Bolivian Chocolate Cake with Passion Fruit Ice Cream.

“Miami holds a special place in my heart and my time there was instrumental in my growth as a Chef,” says Compton, who first appeared on the national culinary map during her high-profile stint as Chef de Cuisine of Scarpetta by Scott Conant. “The opportunity to come back to a city I know so well and adore was kismet,t and to do it with a brand like Four Seasons is a dream. I’m excited to be back and look forward to reconnecting with friends and family, colleagues and fans.”

The beverage program will offer an extensive wine list expertly curated to complement Chef Compton’s creations. Guests can also enjoy a selection of unique cocktails at the bar and outdoor terrace.

Compère Lapin by Nina Compton at Four Seasons Hotel Miami will be open daily for lunch from 12:00 noon to 3:00 pm and for dinner from 6:00 to 10:00 pm. Reservations can be made via OpenTable or by calling +1 305 381 3024, for dates between April 19 and May 19, 2024.
