"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 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."

"A pretty pink photo spot, Big Pink is an ‘all-hours’ diner situated in Miami Beach. While the diner's exterior makes for a brilliant photo op, with its powder pink walls and hot pink Volkswagen Beetles lined up outside, the interior is equally as Instagrammable.

If you are looking for romantic date night ideas in Miami, this is a great place to visit."

"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."

"Located on the top floor of the EPIC Hotel, trendy Area 31 has the reputation of the best view in town as well as exceptionally good food and cocktails. Sunset over the Biscayne Bay and the city skyline from the restaurant’s poolside terrace is absolutely breathtaking, but Executive Chef Wolfgang Birk manages to draw the attention of his guests with his frequently changing menu that is based on sustainable ingredients and focuses on local seafood with a Spanish twist. The menu is extensive but the chef’s fresh ceviche, crudos and tartares are legendary."
