Miami’s hottest restaurants cater to the global elite for F1. Can mere mortals compete?

So you want to go out for a nice meal on the town this weekend.

Hold up.

You do realize there’s a major car race going on, right?

For the third year, Hard Rock Stadium over in Miami Gardens is again transformed into the Miami International Autodrome for the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix.

The big event is on Sunday, but the buzz has already begun. This means sceney eateries are filling up faster than Jeff Bezos can buy up real estate in Billionaire Bunker.

Most local establishments where reservations were already tough to come by (think: anything with a Michelin star, celebrity tie or NYC mothership) are going to be locked up like Fort Knox. As the global elite descend upon Miami, the dining scene will be ceded to billionaires ready to drop thousands on one meal and buy out local hot spots at the drop of a hat.

But here’s the glimmer of hope for locals who just want to have a regular night out at an exclusive restaurant that’s already hard to get into: the international jet set has culinary events to go to that are too exclusive for most of us to even worry about.

There’s a good chance Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who relocated back home last year, will be again hitting up Carbone Beach at some point during the weekend.

The $3,000 a head, way exclusive “supper club on the sand,” Thursday-Sunday, will likely see more Amex carrying stars than the Oscars.

The glamorous pop-up is from the able staff at Carbone in South Beach, which is completely booked through next Tuesday’s dinner service.

The Great Gatsby-inspired fete features similar Italian red-sauce faves as the brick and mortar spot, but with a side of superstars. Past performers include Andrea Bocelli, Lauryn Hill, Diana Ross and the Gipsy Kings; attendees are strictly A-list celebs and the uber rich.

“Join us for a feast for the senses, where every night is an opulent culinary adventure paired with live entertainment that’ll leave you wanting more,” reads the invite.

There are a few tickets left for Thursday and Sunday seatings, but that could change on a dime.

“Pleasantly, there’s been no lull in enthusiasm for this who’s-who event,” said Mario Carbone, co-founder of Major Food Group, the visionary team behind the fete. “It’s just as robust as it was when we first started. This is still Miami’s most fun and important week of the year. People are still very excited about it.”

Another culinary event that will separate the rich from the uber rich is Once Upon a Kitchen Saturday at the W South Beach Hotel. It’s a six-course, “multi-layered, sensorial experience” by world renowned chef Massimo Bottura that will set you back a cool $2,500.

As for the other sizzling places you read about on Page Six, good luck with that.

It will take some work to get a table during prime time, insiders tell Miami.com, and big spenders have the cash to buy out your favorite hot spot just for their own squad. There are a few creative ways to bypass the madness, like going the early bird route, or accepting your fate as a non-main character.

“The best opportunities to snag a seat at some of Miami’s coveted hot spots is to call the day of to check on cancellations or go early right when the doors open,” our source told us. “Restaurants have different seating options like bar or patio, which sometimes lends itself to more availability.”

Another possibility for those pining to see and be seen? A few so called clubstaurants have set up promotional collaborations during Miami Race Week.

For example, newly opened David Grutman’s Casadonna, in the old Miami Women’s Club in Edgewater, is throwing a happy hour with Almave, speed demon Lewis Hamilton’s nonalcoholic drink. It’s free and open to all Casadonna guests Wednesday. On the website, a reservation at 6 p.m. was open and a credit card is needed to hold it. The fee for a no-show is a mere $25 and applied to the card on file.

As for Gekko, the chic steakhouse co-owned by reggaetonero Bad Bunny, Thursday night is DraftKings’ $350 a pop “Wagyumafia” dinner, led by beef export king Hisato Hamada. Opening up the old wallet is generally always another tried and true way to pass through the pearly Brickell gates.

Memories for the ‘Gram? Priceless.
