Best & Cool Bars in Surfside

"Brought to you by the same owners as The Foxy Brown, the illustrious and breezy Coconuts Waterfront restaurant is South Florida at its best. Conveniently located on the Intracoastal waterway, you can easily float your way to Sunday brunch and dock your boat here. Coconuts prides itself on their philosophy to “be nice”, which is exuded in their exceptional and sincere service, coupled with quality food and an unbeatable view."

"Here, diners can indulge in specialty cocktails, shareable snacks, and made-from-scratch entreesas boats cruise by the dock. Coconuts is a popular place for outdoor dining, and with epic sunsets and uninterrupted views, it’s easy to see why."

"With autumn upon us and winter on the way, eating outside in South Florida becomes a more pleasant experience. So, what better time to pay a visit to Coconuts, one of Ft. Lauderdale's premier waterfront restaurants."

"Restaurants Seafood Downtown. Area 31’s 16th-floor lounge may not technically be on the roof, but its view of Downtown is hard to beat. A photo op here is one you'll be tempted to caption with “I live where you vacation,” but don't be that guy."

"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.

"Whisk yourself away to the 16th floor of the Epic Hotel and discover the excitement at Area 31. Feast on Korean barbecue steak tacos and Spanish croquetas with a glass of Merlot and gaze toward the downtown Miami skyline."

"Bars Cocktail bars Brickell. It’s the longest ride to the top of any rooftop restaurant in Miami (40 floors up!), but Sugar’s Downtown views—and East Miami’s ‘grammable galactic elevators—make it all worth it. Pockets of Asian-inspired gardens help set the Zen mood, though it’s the flowing breeze that’ll really put you at ease."

"A post shared by Axel Amiez (@amiezaxel) on Sep 14, 2017 at 3:32pm PDT. High on top of the East Hotel is one the city’s best rooftop bars offering views far out across Biscayne Bay to the east and north to downtown. The Asian influence of Sugar is apparent through its decor as well as the Asian inspired drinks and food choices."

"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."

"Orange Blossom is a chic eatery spot located on 2000 Collins Ave that serves American cuisine made using local ingredients along with handcrafted cocktails in a rustic setting. The warm and inviting environment makes for a great place to enjoy delicious breakfast in South Beach that is prepared using fresh ingredients that are sourced locally from farmers and vendors. The farm to table menu includes American fares like Egg White Frittata, Steak & Eggs, Eggs Benedict, Nutella French Toast, Original Buttermilk Pancakes, and more."

"El Vez is one of the Mexican restaurants in Fort Lauderdale showcasing classic Mexican dishes with a Baja style of South Florida. You can dine in, or pick up snacks, sandwiches and pastries from the counter for the road or beach. As with any Mexican Restaurant start with the chips and guacamole or try the Tito Santana guac with mango or Verde with poblano peppers or if wanting something a little healthier try the tuna tostada or shrimp campechano ceviches."

"This delightful Mexican/Latin cuisine offers a vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free menu option. Come by and enjoy the full bar with additional outdoor seating for a delightful view of the waterfront. The beach is 1.6 miles from El Vez, making it an excellent spot for Happy Hour with its menu of chicken tacos and spicy wings to complement the alcohol offerings or a full menu list to choose from if desired."

"You might not think Hialeah would house one of Miami’s most beloved French spots, but here we are. La Fresa Francesa is a Cuban-French mix, a pretty common fusion in our community in fact. You’ll find classic eats from crepes to steak frites, but everything with a Caribbean flare."

"Restaurants French Miami Springs"

"Restaurants French Brickell. Make any celebration at home special with takeout from LPM in Brickell. Not only is the food from this fine-dining, French/Mediterranean restaurant excellent but so is the handpainted burlap tote bag in which it arrives."

"This might be one of the best Mexican restaurants in Miami, and that’s saying a lot considering we’ve got some fire tacos in these parts. They’ve got it all: tacos al pastor, quesadillas, enchiladas. Most importantly, their guac game is ON POINT. If you’re feelin’ particularly famished, there’s always the burrito grande, a grilled burrito stuffed with chicken or steak, rice, refried beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, crema Mexicana, and of course, that guacamole."

"Temakase is a South Beach sushi spot specializing in hand rolls. The restaurant is located inside The Sagamore hotel, and has tasting menu options ranging from $22 to $50, as well as a la carte rolls."

"James Beard Foundation Award-winner Michael Schwartz is one of Miami’s most-coveted chefs. Whatever he touches turns delicious, including pizza at Harry’s Pizzeria, farm-to-table gastropub fare on a cruise ship, sushi, breakfast food and plenty of other concepts, including his beloved namesake, Michael’s Genuine. Set within the SLS Brickell, Schwartz’s Fi’lia specializes in vivacious Italian, including pies, house-made pastas, comforting mains (think: chicken parm and wood-grilled leg of lamb) as well as a tableside Caesar for which servers grill fresh bread for croutons."

"Many tourists mark this restaurant as the best Italian restaurant in Miami, and for good reason. Fi’lia invites its visitors to taste authentic Italian pizza from a wood-fired oven or pamper themselves with stracciatella with truffle honey. You will plunge into a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, and the friendly staff will help you choose a dish based on your preferences."

"Italians are known for their stellar wood-fired pizzas, and Fi’lia is no exception. Starters like the stracciatella with truffle honey or the meatballs with whipped ricotta are great to open the appetite. Pies like spicy soppressatta or cauliflower and fontina cheese are hits, or opt for spaghetti carbonara or the wood-grilled sirloin skirt steak."
