Best Botanical Garden in Coconut Grove

"The Miami Beach Botanical Gardens was originally a municipal park that opened in the early ’60s; it wasn’t until decades later when the area was redesigned and rejuvenated that it became the fantastic attraction that it is now. Designed by one of the state’s most renowned landscape architects, the gardens are an urban oasis filled with fountains, art, and an amazingly diverse array of plants, trees, and flowers, most of which are species native to Florida. The grounds include a Japanese garden, warden gardens, plenty of shaded seating areas, and well-marked pathways that lead to each distinct area."

"2000 Convention Center Dr, The Miami Beach Botanical Garden is a 2.6-acre urban green space in Miami Beach and was founded in 1962.* The Garden offers free admission and is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9 a.m."

"Tucked amongst the verdant foliage and gurgling fountains of the Wynwood’s serene Sacred Space, Plant’s soothing aesthetic and bright, beautiful dishes are a perfect match for its surroundings. Thoughtful takes on global dishes dominate the menu, like Thai coconut ceviche, adobo-rubbed mamey asado and cannelloni composed of kale pesto and almond herb cheese. The restaurant’s ethical ethos extends to its ingredients – most of its produce is sourced from Paradise Farms, Plant’s certified-organic sister property located a few miles south in Homestead."

"Plant is an eclectic plant-based concept temporarily located within The Sacred Space Miami. Heralded by executive chef Horacio Rivadero and pastry Chef Veronica Manolizi, the restaurant prides itself on being the most sustainable in the industry. The innovative dishes are inspired by the nature of South Florida, and indeed each plate is a true form of art featuring only locally harvested produce."

"Despite its name, DIRT offers clean eating and great taste on one plate. Their farm-to-counter policy is what attracts vegans all over Florida and makes it one of the best vegan restaurants in Miami Beach. The majority of their menu is vegan, but they also offer vegetarian and paleo options."

"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)."

"A mere 21 years after Miami was officially incorporated as a city, the mission-style "coral rock" building of the Plymouth Congregational Church was constructed in Miami's oldest neighborhood, Coconut Grove."

"The Barnacle Historic State Park is home to the oldest house in Miami|© William Silver / Shutterstock. Also in Coconut Grove, this fairly small park tops our list for having the oldest house in its original location in Miami. Visitors can tour the 1891 home, The Barnacle, to learn about the frontier life during the “Era of the Bay” at a time when all travel to the city was done by boat."

"At this 5-acre gem in Coconut Grove is the oldest home in its original location in Miami-Dade County (1891), which once housed Ralph Middleton Munroe, an American yacht designer. You'll also see plenty of mesmerizing Spanish moss. A post shared by @lizz_ax3 on Feb 26, 2017 at 2:42pm PST"

"Oceanfront's Hoshi & Sushi, located at 5401 Collins Ave. in the Carriage House Condominiums building, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the sushi bar, Japanese and Asian fusion spot 4.5 stars out of 363 reviews. Chef Dongwook Seo believes eating fresh seafood is one of life's richest pleasures, according to Miami New Times. Hoshi & Sushi is his first restaurant and he's made it a point to serve sushi that's both simple and inventive."

"Think upscale hawker hall-meets-speakeasy and you have Miami’s first Asian-themed marketplace, 1-800-LUCKY. One of seven stalls sitting behind a record shop, Lotus + Cleaver serves some of the best Asian cheap eats in Miami, including Chinese barbecue and wok classics. The specialty here is Peking duck (which you can see hanging from the ceiling above the stand), so you can’t go wrong with any of the steamed bun options, particularly the duck buns decadently topped with foie gras."

"A post shared by Miami Food Porn (@miami_foodporn) on Jul 23, 2018 at 7:07pm PDT. Lotus + Cleaver takes on a modern twist to Chinese cuisine, particularly Chinese barbecue. Their lead dishes include the char siu pork shoulder, roast chicken with ginger scallion sauce, pork belly buns, and fire-roasted Peking duck."

"Whether you’re going for their incredible pork buns, their savory salads, their tasty brussel sprouts, or their daily mouth-watering dessert specials, you’re in for a treat. Seriously, I can’t think of a time I haven’t enjoyed my time at Gigi’s and I’ve probably been there 30 times in my 21 years."

"KYU has made a name for itself creating an Asian-inspired menu with a barbecue twist. Think wood-fired meats, unique dishes like brisket lettuce wraps and duck “burnt ends,” and sushi, all housed in a hip Wynwood setting. Oh, and don’t miss that Martha Stewart approved coconut cake for dessert."

"When you want to treat yourself to a nice meal, hit up KYU in Wynwood for amazing Japanese food. The swanky vibe will lure you in and the steamed buns will have you never wanting to leave."

"The signature of KYU, one of the most fun restaurants in Miami, is wood-fired, Asian-inspired cuisine. Chef Michael Lewis embraces Japanese barbecue grilling techniques, which give..."
