"Phenomenal vegan food in a palm-filled courtyard Even if you’re one who finds the idea of plant-based meat to be sacrilege, well, what’s more romantic than testing your boundaries together?. Plant makes organic, vegan cuisine that even a carnivore will love, so grab a seat out in the palm-filled courtyard and broaden your horizons with ginger-carrot noodles, celery-root lasagna with walnut Bolognese, and almond falafel. The purple lighting and light food make dinner here feel like the start of a big night."

"Plant Miami heralds a modern plant-based approach with an emphasis on vibrant organic living foods, with a commitment to the art of conscious cuisine. Featuring vegan, kosher dishes naturally inspired by the South Florida landscape, they use the purest ingredients and highest sustainability practices in the industry. They invite you to nourish from the inside out with their enlightened plant-empowered cuisine."

"We’re never one to turn down the fun flavor creations like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, birthday cake or pumpkin spice on Night Owl’s ever-changing menu. But the Ave Maria has our heart, made with guava, Maria cookies (crunchy tea biscuits), white chocolate chips and a cream cheese frosting drizzle. (FYI: The South Miami shop is opening a satellite location in Wynwood sometime in 2019.)"

"It’s business as usual at both locations with the entire menu available. Keeping it trendy, Night Owl will also feature specials like cookies inspired by Tiger King along with a Wake ‘n Bacon cookie, a chocolate chip cookie topped with creamy dulce de leche and dipped in candied bacon.

"If you want a cookie as big as a frisbee, check out the menu at Night Owl Cookies. They’ve got two locations in the Design District and near FIU. The menu includes a bunch of pretty crazy-looking cookies that would work wonderfully during a movie night or to fling across the room at your disrespectful roommate."

"Located next door to Casablanca and also overlooking the Miami River, this longtime family-run business boasts its own fleet of fishing boats, so you know the seafood is always fresh. Garcia’s sports a more casual vibe than its neighbor. It’s a lively place where families and friends gather on the laid-back patio to share plates of seafood with Cuban-influenced side dishes of rice, beans and plantains."

"You can sit on the terrace at Garcia’s, watching them haul the fish from their own boat or enjoying the sunset over Miami while your grouper sandwich is being put together. This old-fashioned Miami seafood shack has been around since 1960 to the delight of its faithful customers. It is a wonderful spot to enjoy fresh seafood outside on rustic picnic benches or inside in cozy boots with banquettes."

"South BeachWhat you're getting: Mint Chocolate CookieNot only does this fudge cookie with bright green mint chips in it recreate your favorite flavor of ice cream in a cookie, you can actually get ice cream between two of them, and have it delivered to your house until 3am."

"Restaurants Italian Coconut Grove. Fourth-generation Cipriani brothers, Maggio and Ignazio, follow in their family’s footsteps with this upscale Italian restaurant perched on the rooftop of Coconut Grove’s splashy Mr C hotel. Whether you sit outside on the terrace or cozy up at a table inside, the wrap-around windows make it so everyone’s got the best seat in the house."

"Part of Mr. C Hotels — which got it start with Harry’s Bar in Venice, Italy, that famously created the Bellini cocktail — Coconut Grove’s Bellini restaurant sits high above the neighborhood serving luxe Italian eats and drinks with enviable views."

"Perched atop Coconut Grove’s Mr. C Hotel, this upscale eatery is the brainchild of Maggio and Ignazio Cipriani. Takeout dishes include grilled octopus with pea puree, sautéed clams alla veneziana, and tartufo Nero Di Norcia."

"Go American-style at Starbuck’s or enjoy a Latin-style breakfast of Cuban coffee and pan tostada (toasted Cuban bread) at Café Con Leche."

"Joe’s Diner has it, with its all-day breakfast and lunch and vintage Americana feel. Don’t miss the free-song-play jukebox, the piece of a 1960s-era Mustang convertible mounted on the wall or the toy train track running above diners’ heads. On a sunny day, snag a covered glider booth and slide back and forth as you dig into the Joe’s Hangover, a half-pound cheeseburger with two eggs, potatoes or grits and a home-made biscuit or toast."

"Then there's Joe's Cafe, which has earned four stars out of 103 reviews on Yelp. Dig in at the Greek breakfast and brunch spot by heading over to 1913 Cordova Road. Formerly known as Joe Belair's Diner, the classic American/Greek fusion cafe serves up offerings like gyro platters, chicken kebabs and classic shrimp santorini — a sizzling dish of shrimp, tomatoes and feta cheese."

"Restaurants Ice cream parlors Coral Gables. This South Miami neighborhood spot is a mainstay for traditional, no-fuss ice cream. Servings are cheap, cookies are freshly baked and the staff—made up of mostly teens and kids from the area—are cheery and eager to let you try whatever is in the freezer."

"This place has occupied its tiny little storefront on Sunset Drive for decades. Their milkshakes are so thick you can barely get them through a straw, and their chocolate malt shake is as classic as it gets. No fancy machines, no exotic flavors, just some of the best classic ice cream around, with generous scoops."

"Started in 1985, Whip ‘N Dip ranks as a long-time staple among the best Miami ice cream shops. Using locally sourced ingredients from partner suppliers, they make new flavors daily. Some must-trys include banana nut chip, heath bar brownie and chocolate-covered almond."
