Top Best American Restaurants in San Souci Estates

"At this ultramodern rooftop restaurant over the Herzog & de Meuron-designed parking garage on Lincoln Road, the views are compelling, the decor is slick and comfortable, and the feeling is singular for South Beach. The menu, which includes both breakfast- and lunch-oriented plates, begins with a choice of a salad made with avocado, tomato, and Hawaiian hearts of palm; pink shrimp acevichado; beef carpaccio; or granola with yogurt, fresh fruit, and honey. Then, opt for one of the following: a smoked salmon eggs Benedict; branzino a la plancha; truffle spinach-mushroom quiche; or grilled skirt steak."

"The best dinner view in Miami, period Busting out your phone on a romantic night out is about the fastest way to ensure there’s not another date... but it’s almost impossible when presented with the art deco tableau spread out in front of you at Juvia. From the top of the 1111 building, this restaurant looks east across Miami Beach at the largest collection of art deco buildings in the world, then out onto the Atlantic Ocean."

"Set atop the chains of Lincoln Road, Juvia is located in penthouse of the 1111 Lincoln Road parking garage, offering picturesque views of South Beach from every angle from its outdoor terrace."

"Top Chef winner Jeremy Ford is executing high-end meals at South of Fifth’s Stubborn Seed with dishes like a seared foie gras with pumpkin, crispy duck with creamy grits, and poached Maine lobster. The menu rotates constantly with plenty of seasonal a la carte options as well as eight-course tasting menus."

"It’s actually Top Chef winner Jeremy Ford’s South Beach restaurant. While his savory food is delicious, what we really can’t get enough of is pastry chef Dallas Wynne’s snickerdoodles. They’re served warm and oozing with a rich chocolate filling."

"This style-conscious American diner offers upscale interpretations of classic comfort foods, and breakfast is served all day long for those with less than traditional working hours. The dining room is all imagination and whimsy, with colorful diner decor, an open kitchen and communal tables. Try the hot malted waffles or the filling and tasty Big Pink breakfast burrito â€" both are as popular in the evening as they are in the morning, or enjoy the Sweet Corn Tortilla Omelette for an extra special treat. Sit at a nostalgic booth in the industrial-style dining room or enjoy an outside table facing busy Collins Avenue."

"A South Beach staple for more than 25 years, Big Pink is a retro diner with an extensive menu of more than 200 dishes. The restaurant boasts an all-hours vibe, with large TVs lining the walls and iconic pink VW Beetles parked outside. Whether you’re “Team Sweet” or “Team Savory,” you’ll have a hard time choosing just one perfect brunch dish here – but be assured there’s no wrong choice."

"In Miami’s historic MiMo District, Blue Collar has been serving up some of the best comfort food dishes in the city for nearly seven years (wow!) though it feels like just yesterday Chef Daniel Serfer arrived on the scene. He opened Mignonette, another instant success, just two years after Blue Collar. The brunch menu consists of Eggy Stuff, Syrupy Stuff, Othery Stuff, Sandwichy Stuff, and Salady Stuff and please believe us when we say you can’t go wrong no matter what your palate fancies."

"Restaurants American Little Haiti / Lemon City. Danny Serfer doubled the size of his hip, cozy diner in MiMo, giving you more room to dig into his delicious hangover-curing, comfort food. Head to the covered patio or the new outdoor beer garden for the usual “eggy stuff” and “syrupy stuff,” including a bacon-egg-and-cheese burrito the size of your head."

"Nestled between the motels along Biscayne Blvd., you’ll find Blue Collar serving comfort food with a twist. Whether you’re in the mood for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, your tastebuds will be singing by the end of any meal here. Make sure not to leave without trying their chocolate cake (trust me)."

"For a delightful breakfast, stop by Riva, our family-friendly diner. Serving timeless favorites with a twist, our beachfront restaurant offers seaside views and a relaxing atmosphere in Fort Lauderdale. Open for breakfastDress code: Smart CasualPhone: +1 954-525-4000"

"Multiple locationsIf you haven’t spent an entire Sunday drinking light domestic beer and dirtying yourself with Sports Grill wing sauce, you may as well turn in your 305 phone number. Because though many higher-end places have tried, no place in Miami makes wings quite like Sport Grill, who still routinely tops literally every list of best wings in the city. The go-to sauce here is the Dale sauce —pronounced like the famous racecar driver and not a Pitbull interjection—a spicy, smoky sauce named after a longtime regular.How to book: Stop by for first come, first served seating or order take-out via Toast."

"Swine Southern Table & Bar is a good place to meet up with friends, sip some whiskey, and enjoy classic Southern cooking. The brunch includes meals like BLT Benedict, shrimp & grits, and pulled pork n’ eggs. If you’re not a huge fan of meat, they also offer meat-free options such as their morning quiche, pancakes and waffles."

"Brunch from 11am-3pm Saturdays & Sundays350 E Las Olas Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301. The Royal Pig Pub is temporarily closed due to COVID-19 restrictions, however, I’m keeping them on the list for when they safely open again. The Royal Pig has bottomless mimosas, Bloody Mary’s, Bellini’s, and Blue Point Toasted Lager for $15."

"Continue your exploration of Miami street art and mouth-watering food by driving north to Wynwood, the city’s artsy neighborhood. This up-and-coming district was nothing more than warehouses and wholesale retail stores a few years ago, but it’s now home to some of Miami’s best restaurants, trendiest bars, and most Instagrammable spots."

"Without traffic, the drive from Little Havana to Wynwood will only take 15 minutes. You may have caught a glimpse of colorful, large-scale murals while driving on I-95, but nothing can prepare you for the breathtaking art that overwhelms the Wynwood Art District just north of Downtown Miami."

"DAY TWO: WYNWOOD AND DESIGN DISTRICT – MODERN ART & RETAIL THERAPY Spend your morning at the beach, enjoying the beach club service of your hotel. Lunch light in your lounger—the beach clubs offer full food and beverage menus—or enjoy something a bit more epicurean on the terrace at"

"If you’re feeling ambitious on your townie cruiser, you can ride north to Bal Harbour or Haulover beaches; natives know these as water-sports havens—and for Bal Harbour’s luxury shopping. Otherwise, drop off your bike along Ocean Drive and grab a spot on the beach, Lummus Beach, which runs from around 6th to 14th streets. This is a beach for locals and tourists alike, and the spread of humanity—supermodels, families and even topless tanners—make this a go-to spot for people-watching."

"Few American parks can claim to front such a lovely stretch of turquoise as Biscayne Bay, but this fantastic green space is packed full of freebies too, including a great playground for the kids. The Tina Hills Pavilion has free concerts and yoga sessions, but Bayfront Park has some interesting public art worth discovering as well. The JFK Torch of Friendship recognizes the accomplishments of US congressman Claude Pepper, while Isamu Noguchi, who redesigned much of Bayfront Park in the 1980s, has three great sculptures: the Challenger Memorial, The Light Tower, and our favorite, the Slide Mantra."

"Located in downtown Miami, parents flock to this park for its sunning beach, large sea creature-themed playground, and views of Biscayne Bay and the Port of Miami. A good choice for a picnic when your kids need to run around. A post shared by Laura (@talais25) on Nov 4, 2014 at 2:38pm PST"

"Located just down the street from Mindy Solomon Gallery, Tile Blush – “a concept reamigined from the remnants of Noguchi Breton, formerly VersaceVersaceVersace and GucciVuitton” – represents those whose work blurs the line between architecture and art. Often minimalist in its curatorial approach, Tile Blush displays painting, sculpture and furnishings in dialog with one another."

"A relative newcomer on Miami’s art scene, The Bonnier Gallery is focused on presenting works by minimalist, blue-chip artists such as Carl Andre, Sol LeWitt and Donald Judd. Husband-and-wife duo Grant and Christina Bonnier set up their Allapattah gallery with direct access to work by these post-war masters: Grant’s father, a New York dealer, represented many of these icons during their lifetimes. The gallery hosts a range of regular exhibitions, but if you’re more interested in the Andy Warhols, Dan Flavins or Christos they have available, be sure to make an appointment."

"If you are a history buff or culture buff, then you will love the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood. Here you’ll find many contemporary visual art exhibitions, live stage performances, educational facilities for aspiring local artists, and much more. Just be sure to check their website for listings and seasonal exhibitions that are so good."

"The Center, which is southeast of Young Circle, has a great reputation for presenting übercool contemporary art exhibitions and providing…"

"Begin your day at the Little Haiti Cultural Center. This cultural hub, part gallery, part community space, offers first-rate shows of contemporary art by Caribbean artists from around the world. It has exhibited the works of noted Haitian artist Edouard Duval-Carrié and photos from Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Carl Juste."

"A riverfront drinking joint with a dock full of food trucks, The Wharf features samplings from Miami hot spots like Garcia’s Seafood Grille & Fish Market, Mojo Donuts & Fried Chicken, and Lung Yai Thai Tapas. Paired with lazy furniture and a water view, a jaunt at The Wharf is a happy hour dream. View this post on Instagram"

"This place is located on the historic and pristine Miami River. This place is popular for its open-air events. There are wines, beers and cocktails to quench your thirst and 4-5 food trucks to satiate your hunger."

"The place has plenty of food trucks and a great view of the Miami River. Come in your best summer outfit and take some shots."
