16 restaurants vital to Miami
by Amber Love Bond
Updated 15 December 2023
Miami might be best known for its sun, sand, and gorgeous beaches, but the dining scene in the Magic City is one that’s not to be missed. From Caribbean dishes to modern American with a Miami twist, the flavors of the 305 shine bright in this city’s cuisine.
No matter what the occasion—fancy date night or a casual waterfront lunch with the family, or maybe even a late night need to soak up the night’s debauchery, there’s a spot for it. One of the best parts? Many have al fresco dining that’s perfect for taking in the fabulous South Florida weather all year long.
These are the restaurants that define Miami dining.
