Where to Eat in Miami Beach in 2021
"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)."
"Serving up generous portions of gourmet American comfort food, this neighbourhood joint has a canteen-like feel, but the devastatingly delicious menu options and excellent craft beer selection more than make up for it."
"the law student who switched out his suit for a chef coat is killing it with all kinds of comfort food like spicy oxtail and ... SouthernVegetarianAmerican. Air Date: 05-09-2014"
"Michael Schwartz’s eatery sits directly on Biscayne Bay and showcases stunning views that can be seen from the expansive patio area, making it a perfect spot to sip on rose waterside while dining on bites like short rib empanadas, yucca cheese puffs, grilled red snapper, and its surf-and-turf parradilla."
"☀️, we’re open for #SundayBrunch until 4 pm and dinner tonight from 5-10 pm!. Click the link in bio for reservations."
"After a hard night of clubbing or bar-hopping, nothing's better than a hefty sandwich from this walk-up counter right off Collins Avenue. Crusty French bread is piled high with your choice of meats (from turkey and prosciutto to pate and smoked salmon), cheeses (fresh mozzarella, swiss, brie) and condiments (never skip the cornichons). If you need a veggie fix, opt for a salad, like the French Riviera (lettuce, tomatos, green and hot peppers, black olives, onions, cucumbers, cornichons, carrots, and egg); all are generous, fresh and tasty."
"Grab a massive sandwich from this French-themed sandwich shop that is seemingly open all hours of the day, with multiple locations, for under $10. Offering takeout, delivery, and outdoor dining depending on location. View this post on Instagram"
"What started as a neighborhood pizza joint in one of Brooklyn’s old-time Italian enclaves has transformed into a multi-city sensation. Former marble worker Mark Iacono found his true calling with New York-style pies served in a quaintly old-fashioned setting. In 2013, Iacono decided to take his brick-oven, New York-style pies and creative salads to South Beach."
"Remember when your school would get a new kid, and that new kid was cool and handsome and almost instantly more popular than you?. Lucali is like that. This place rolled into town one day from New York with a reputation for making some of the best pizza in the world."
"Restaurants Pizza South Beach"
"Traditional Italian fare is plentiful at this downtown eatery. From the fresh and flavorful antipasti platters to their handmade pasta, this place is the real deal. Farfalleis a relaxing space with a cozy interior, excellent wine selection, and a small, but friendly staff providing exceptional service."
"Restaurants Chinese Midtown. Chef and restaurant owner Richard Hales serves modern, Chinese Sichuan cuisine at this casual but inviting restaurant in Midtown. He sources ingredients locally and isn’t afraid to push the envelope when it comes to proteins, like the gong bao rabbit, and preparations, including handmaking the noodles you’ll inevitably find yourself slurping."
"Blackbrick in Midtown serves the Chinese food you've been craving. Expect classics such as salt-and-pepper shrimp, Sichuan vegetables with hot-oil fried rice, and steamed red snapper with soy, ginger, and scallions. Chef Richard Hales, who also owns Sakaya Kitchen and Bird & Bone, is behind the menu that's inspired by his travels throughout China."
"crystal shrimp dumplings, chicken siu mei, cumin-lamb dumplings and barbecued pork buns. Noodles are made in-house for dishes... Air Date: 10-06-2017"
"A post shared by 3 Chefs @ Brickell (@3chefsmiami) on Oct 17, 2015 at 1:30pm PDT. With several branches in Miami, 3 Chefs is a great option for those craving for some Asian food. Not only do they serve Chinese cuisine, but they also offer Vietnamese dishes as well."
"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."
"The Barnacle Historic State Park offers an opportunity to relax in a serene atmosphere. Also, there are a few beautiful boutiques (The Showroom, First Flight Out, Nikki's Beachouse Boutique) on Commodore Plaza -beach style clothes, cosy decoration, design accessories. Fringed by trees and cafés with terraces, this district has a cool Caribbean vibe going on."
"3485 Main Hwy This historic Florida State Park is located in the Coconut Grove neighborhood and spans about 5 acres. Dade County’s oldest home resides on this five-acre site that overlooks the scenic Biscayne Bay. It was built by Commodore Ralph Middleton Munroe in 1891."
"Located just off South Dixie Highway in Homestead, the Coral Castle Museum is a unique outdoor attraction that was built by a local man entirely from local limestone. It’s still a mystery how he moved and manipulated the massive limestone blocks used in the castle’s construction; some have suggested he may have had extraterrestrial help. Though the verdict is still out on that claim, there’s no doubt that it’s a popular attraction with children and adults alike, and it’s one of those one-of-a-kind Florida attractions that you won’t see elsewhere."
"‘You will be seeing unusual accomplishment,’ reads the inscription on the rough-hewn quarried wall. That’s an understatement. There is no greater temple to all that is weird and wacky about South Florida."
"No one’s figured out how one diminutive mason managed to move the huge stones for this sculpture garden dedicated to his lost love."
"Spanish missionaries and treasure seekers first explored the Florida coast as far back as the 17th century, and the Spanish Monastery in North Miami Beach is a fascinating bit of local and international history that dates back centuries before that when it was originally constructed in Spain. Inhabited by monks for nearly seven centuries, in the early 1920s, it was bought by American newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst, disassembled, shipped to Florida, and reassembled on its current site. It has been open to the public since the mid-’60s, and for those who don’t mind spending a few extra bucks, the best way to experience it is by guided tour."
"‘Instagram walls’ have become extremely popular on the ‘gram in recent years, so if you’re looking for some colorful wall content to keep you going for the next few months, Wynwood is the place to go. Situated in Miami’s Art District — renowned for its murals — Wynwood Walls is an outdoor museum showcasing graffiti and street art from some of the world’s most talented artists. From cartoon artwork to multi-colored murals, it’s definitely one of the most Instagrammable places in Miami!"
"Admittedly, I was a bit hesitant when we first arrived in Wynwood. After parking in an enormous lot of an industrial-looking area, I found myself wondering where all the “pretty stuff” was. It was honestly a bit overwhelming."
"Teach kiddos about contemporary art and get outside at the same time by perusing the city’s colorful and creative murals."
"Restaurants Japanese Miami. From its humble beginnings as a small college town restaurant in Gainesville, Florida, to a lofty, Japanese hotspot anchoring a major downtown Doral development, Dragonfly is a constant neighborhood favorite no matter where it pops up. The daily happy hour is a steal, featuring $1 oysters, $5 appetizers and cocktails clocking in under $10."
"Head to this Doral spot if your offspring are fans of sushi and tempura or if you're still trying to persuade them to try it. They'll get crayons to color a paper build-your-own bento box menu, which lists options such as grilled chicken thigh ($9), whitefish tempura with Japanese tartar sauce ($11), skirt steak with. koji and potato salad ($11), and chicken breast"
"Dragonfly offers a true catch-to-consumption experience featuring the freshest fish you can find in Miami. It is actually located behind a working fish market where they sell local..."
