Where to eat in South Beach
"On the 16th floor of the Kimpton EPIC Hotel, Area 31’s outdoor veranda is still a go-to spot for happy hour cocktails or a seafood-focused meal, boasting some of Downtown Miami and Biscayne Bay views to boot.

"Bars Cocktail bars Brickell. This Brickell hotspot can have a line out the door on weekend nights and Friday happy hour. Brave that line and you’ll be rewarded with 360-views of the city (40 floors up!), pricey (but tasty) cocktails and a swank crowd."
"More of a Balinese garden than a bar, Sugar takes rooftop aesthetics to a whole new level. With 40th-floor views (from the EAST, Miami hotel), soothing decor, and dangerously strong lychee martinis, and tasty tapas, making an evening at Sugar is an exotic departure from the Miami norm. View this post on Instagram"
"Do these tangy, spicy wings taste nearly as good without a complete panoramic view of Miami from the 40th floor?. Find out as Sugar offers this plus the rest of its menu for delivery. Cool off from all the spice with the Audi and Ramsa ice creams, which are made with various types of alcohol."
"Another solid evening option is one of Miami Beach’s most famous bars, The Broken Shaker. Somehow, this spot has shoot into mixology fame while maintaining a friendly, local atmosphere and top-notch drinks. Or, if a wine and pasta meal sounds absolutely perfect, make your way to Macchialina, known for authentic Italian cuisine and a cozy vibe."
"The lush, tropical outdoor bar at Freehand Miami feels like a club for sophisticated adults. Excellent cocktails (including fun, large-format options) and a lively poolside scene make this the spot to hang when in town. 2727 Indian Creek Dr.Miami Beach, FL 33140+1-305-531-2727"
"Sometimes life works out: One of our favorite pool bars happens to be in the same place as one of our favorite photo spots. Which means we can reward our ’gramming with a boozy punch bowl. 2727 Indian Creek Dr., Miami Beach freehandhotels.com/miami"
"The most romantic restaurant you’ll ever find on a college campus The Miami Culinary Institute is never lacking for innovation in food, and if you can score a seat at one of its classes or demonstrations, they’re some of the best dates in South Florida. Lacking that, though, you can never go wrong at Tuyo, the institute’s restaurant set in the middle of the Downtown skyline with perfect views of Freedom Tower and the AAA. Chef Victor Santos oversees the menu, with stuff like braised lamb shanks with butternut squash risotto and duo of Rohan duck highlighting an ever-changing selection of locally sourced favorites."
"Dress up a bit and get a bird’s eye view of Downtown Miami at Tuyo, a Modern American gem which is operated by Miami-Dade College’s Miami Culinary Institute. Reservations recommended."
"Long-time patrons gather at Mac’s Club Deuce Bar for cheap drinks and familiar faces|© Jack Hobhouse / Alamy Stock Photo. Opened in 1926 (and later bought by the legendary Mac Klein in 1963), Club Deuce is one of the oldest drinking dens in Miami. This iconic dive bar was featured in hit TV series Miami Vice and was dubbed as “one of the last true dive bars in South Beach” by Anthony Bourdain."
"Sip an eye-opening Irish coffee or Bloody Mary at Mac's Club Deuce, billed as Miami’s oldest bar and quirkiest dive. Playboy, Anthony Bourdain, and a slew of other celebrities sing the praises of this local legend. This rustic classic opens their doors at 8 a.m."
"This old-school dive is popular with the locals so you’ll probably meet a few characters. Stop in for a game of pool and a solid section of beer. And they have happy hour from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm."
"First time trying this place since Alvin's was closed tonight. It was surprisingly good!. I say it that way because so many of the establishments on ..."
"Located in South Beach's Sofi neighborhood, Prime Fish is a large, upscale, sophisticated restaurant with a modern black and white interior dominated by the magnificent mural of a mermaid. Their outdoor space is even more memorable, with a patio shaded by a large spectacular tree. The menu is equally sophisticated with a fantastic raw bar and a mix of everyone’s favorites, such as lobster rolls or crispy clam strips and more upscale dishes such as Alaskan king crab lasagna and Dover sole meuniere with French beans, crunchy toasted almonds, and lemon caper butter."
"Restaurants Seafood South of Fifth. Part of Myles Chefetz’s Prime restaurant empire, Prime Fish is known for its massive plates of seafood, heaping piles of east and west coast oysters, Maine lobster cocktails and much more. But it’s equally touted for its brunch, which is one of the better values in town."
"Does it count as outdoor brunch if the restaurant keeps its doors and windows open the entire time?. Either way, you’ll want to slot this fancy South Beach brunch into your weekend plans ASAP. For $55, indulge in a seafood-filled buffet stocked with everything from sushi and oysters to French toast and fresh veggies."
"If you need to escape Miami’s madness, consider a green day in one of the country’s largest tropical botanical gardens. A butterfly grove, tropical plant conservatory and gentle vistas of marsh and keys habitats, plus frequent art installations from artists like Roy Lichtenstein, are all stunning. In addition to easy-to-follow, self-guided walking tours, a free 45-minute tram tours the entire park on the hour from 10am to 3pm (till 4pm weekends)."
"Soundscape Park is a modern landscaped park that offers outdoor movie events supported by high-tech audio and visual effects. The venue presents a wonderful mix of nature and arts, which gives an atmosphere of lasting calmness. Breathe in the fresh air and watch the swaying branches of the elegant palms in the park."
"Every spring, the sprawling grounds of the Frank Gehry-designed SoundScape Park hosts the New World Symphony’s Wallcast concert series – a free 7000 sq ft projection of the live performance going on inside the New World Center concert hall, beamed against its exterior wall."
"Outside of the New World Center, this park is one of the best places for open-air screenings in Miami Beach. During some New World Symphony performances, the outside wall of the Frank Gehry–designed concert hall..."
"Kosushi is a many-time Michelin star-rated world-renowned tailor of Brazil-based Japanese cuisine, located in the heart of South Pointe. Ingredients are handpicked by head chef George Koshoji who has extensive experience in multicultural Japanese cuisine, which highlights the focus of the eatery. Koshoji has honed his collective wisdom to bring South Beach an expertly refined exposure of Sao Paolo’s flavor."
"Internationally acclaimed sushi spot Kosushi has made its way to South of Fifth. The Brazil-based concept has brought with it a number of appetizing options for diners. These options include king crab truffle, salmon aji Amarillo with caviar, and wagyu gyoza."
"A perennial favorite in the dim sum category, Tropical -- surprise -- also serves a great din-din. Traditional dishes include Hong Kong-style roast pork flavored with five-spice and then roasted; seafood-spinach soup; and always crisp, always succulent Peking duck. But innovative items are equally reliable, if unusual -- flounder pan-fried with peppercorns and jalapeños and served with bananas marinated in rice wine, for example, offers interesting counterpoints of textures, as does cherry-plum chicken wrapped with diced water chestnuts and fresh bamboo in egg-white crêpes."
"We certainly wouldn’t be mad if Miami got itself a few more solid dim sum options - but until that day comes, you can find us at Tropical Chinese pointing to random plates being pushed through the dining room on carts the size of baby elephants. This Bird Road favorite is where you’ll find Miami’s best dim sum and a roast pork bun we occasionally dream about. Dim sum is served seven days a week until 3:30pm."
"A Miami institution since 1984, Tropical Chinese has been doling out dim sum since the local food scene was not much more than a croqueta. In true pushcart fashion, diners settle in with a warm cup of tea and watch the pork buns pass by. Can’t-miss bites include dumplings on dumplings, shrimp rolls, and roasted duck."
"Juvia is a rooftop restaurant situated at the top of the Herzog & de Meuron 1111 Lincoln Road building in Miami Beach. Guests at Juiva can expect to find a mixture of French, Japanese, and Peruvian cuisines on the menu, prepared by a talented team of chefs, who, together, have decades of training within each culture. The contemporary rooftop restaurant features a pared-back, modern design, surrounded by natural foliage — another great place to watch the sunset and dine under the stars."
"Sometimes romance needs a little boost… so, if you really want to impress your date, head to Lincoln Road in South Beach to elevate your dining experience at Juvia. Perched on the top of a designer parking lot, the restaurant has bragging rights to spectacular views of Miami Beach. Time it right for the golden hour to watch the sunset from the ultra-modern dining room swathed in purple, or from the open-air patio flanked by vertical gardens that glow at night."
"In the lobby of the Cadet hotel, there is a 30-seater restaurant, where chefs with a Michelin star are preparing wonderful dishes under the watchful eye of restaurateurs seeking to create an authentic French dinner. You will find impeccable service, innovative cuisine and a well-designed wine list. In an intimate setting, guests of Pied à Terre feel like participants in an important culinary event."
