AVENTURA

For all palates, REUNION KITCHEN BAR offers an eclectic, internationally inspired menu that includes sushi, salads, meats, pastas, fondue, fish, and much more.

BAL HARBOUR

Located on the second floor of Bal Harbour Shops, HILLSTONE is a spacious and elegant restaurant offering excellent food and an outdoor patio bar. Recommended dishes: The Ahi Tuna Tartare, the French Dip Au Jus, Ding's Crispy Chicken Sandwich, the grilled artichokes, and the spinach dip. For dessert, try the Key Lime Pie.

For Japanese food lovers, MAKOTO won't fail you.

UPPER EAST SIDE

Its name says it all, LUNA PASTA E DOLCI offers the perfect combination of good pasta and delicious desserts to feed your heart.

SOUTH BEACH

Sushi fans can delight at SUSHI GARAGE.

27 RESTAURANT AT FREEHAND HOSTEL. It's a cool hipster hostel where you can eat very well and it also has a cool bar called BROKEN SHAKER. It is one block away from the Edition Hotel.

MATADOR ROOM (in the Edition Hotel). You can eat, have a drink and in the basement there is a nightclub + a bowling!

LOS FUEGOS BY FRANCIS MALLMANN at FAENA Hotel. Expensive, but its worth it!

For those who like to follow show business CECCONI'S is the perfect spot. Several celebrities usually meet there, it is located in the Soho House Hotel.

IL MULINO NEW YORK. It's a great Italian restaurant from the same owner as the one in NYC.

CVI.CHE 105, Peruvian with some "criollo style" (Argentinian).

To eat near the beach you have the well-known NIKKI BEACH club. It's located quite south of South Beach. Ocean Dr. and 1st street. The beach below Nikki is very good as well. You can combine the beach with lunch. They also open at night and it's a cool spot to have a drink near the sea.

The dining experiences at THE SETAI exude elegance for all tastes.

Jaya offers the finest culinary creations from South Asia showcasing Chinese, Indian, Thai and Balinese fare, while the newly opened Japón provides an immersive experience featuring contemporary Japanese cuisine complemented by a captivating cocktail experience with an Asian twist at the Setai Bar and Courtyard. Additionally, Ocean Grill presents Italian-Mediterranean cuisine, complimented by a selection of premium grilled meats and fresh seafood in a serene oceanfront setting.

For a waterview dining experience, SMITH & WOLLENSKY is a steakhouse that also offers fish, soups, and salads.

Located in the heart of South Beach, JOE'S STONE CRAB is synonymous with the freshest stone crabs and succulent seafood.

ESPANOLA WAY

It is a small pedestrian street that begins at Washington Street. It has many bars and restaurants. Very cheerful and cool.

Our favorite: HOSTERÍA ROMANA. A very tasty Italian + grill, with good vibes and music. Spectacular attention! They usually play Latin music in the background to start moving the skeleton while eating a delicious meal.

WYNWOOD

KYU, Fusion food, founded by two former Zuma chefs.

ZAK THE BAKER, During the day it is a cool bakery ideal for breakfast or brunch, with super funky people. At night, one of the best places to eat sushi in Miami!

SALUMERÍA, a very good Italian place For starters we recommend Pecorino cheese with San Danielle raw ham. The Burratina (burrata) is also a perfect option. As a main course: pasta with Tartufo (truffles), is the most recommended dish! But truth is, everything is delicious!

HARRY’S PIZZERÍA / GENUINE PIZZA. From renowned chef Michael Schwartz it is a classic for pizza lovers. His name changed to Genuine Pizza a while ago but it's still owned by the same chef. They have another location in Coconuts Grove.

MANDOLIN AEGEAN BISTRO. The place is very nice, it has a large patio to eat outside. They serve small dishes like "tapas", so the best is to order everything and share. And the food is really spectacular. Recommendations: the grilled octopus, the French fries (yes... that simple, but amazing), the pork (to eat with your hands, it's the best they have!), squid rings, shrimp and a kind of "provoleta" (grilled provolone cheese) that they call it otherwise… ask for that!

SALVAJE is a Japanese restaurant offering a fascinating dining experience that combines traditional Japanese cuisine with a diverse range of international flavors and techniques. You'll also enjoy spectacular views (and a stunning sunset), a sushi bar, tasting menus, a shisha lounge, robatayaki, and craft cocktails. You'l also enjoy, dance performances and a 360-degree multi-sensory environment.

For Mexican food lovers, BAKAN is a great option.

DESIGN DISTRICT

A creative gem in the heart of Miami, the Design District combines art, fashion, architecture, and gastronomy. Between luxury boutiques, avant-garde galleries, and design spaces, this neighborhood invites you to explore with all your senses.

There are several options for dining and drinks right there, such as L’ATELIER DE JOËL ROBUCHON. The prices are high as its a renowned restaurant and the because of its location, but the food is very good.

DOWNTOWN

SEASPICE. It's not the cheapest but it's not that expensive either. You eat in one of the Miami River ports near DownTown Miami, looking at the water with the boats, a nice place and good view. Food is very tasty.

A more exclusive option: CIPRIANI.

BRICKELL

PUBBELLY is, in our opinion, the best restaurant in Miami. Our recommendations: "Sushi tacos", Tuna pizza, Hamashi roll, Heat roll, Crispy Salmon and Yellow Tale. Delicious and very good attention.

ZUMA a Japanese restaurant located at the Epic Hotel.

COYA MIAMI, ¡very good Peruvian option!

LA MAR by GASTÓN ACURIO. Peruvian/fusion. Located at the Mandarin Hotel. It's really amazing. They also have one in Buenos Aires.

KOMODO Restaurant&Lounge, asian food. Also offers happy hour.

RIVER YATCH CLUB, for seafood lovers. It also has a rooftop bar.

QUINTO LA HUELLA, on the 5th floor of the East hotel. In the same hotel they have a VERY cool rooftop, SUGAR. Therefore, the combination is perfect! If you go for New Year you can eat there and then go up to have a few drinks and dance!

PURA VIDA. Healthy food. Great for brunch.

COCONUT GROVE

THE SALTY. Very good donuts.

OTHERS

As super cheap and very good options: CHEESCAKE FACTORY and GRAND LUX CAFÉ. They're similar (CHEESCAKE FACTORY is our top recommendation)…and they're everywhere! We invite you to check the locations on Google to find the one closest to you. They are also inside some shopping malls and outlets.
