"Looking for a rooftop bar in Miami with stunning views of South Beach?. May we suggest Juvia?. Built atop a designer parking garage, you may be surprised to find an ultramodern space that doesn’t scrimp on luxury."

"Set atop the chains of Lincoln Road, Juvia is located in penthouse of the 1111 Lincoln Road parking garage, offering picturesque views of South Beach from every angle from its outdoor terrace."

"Romantic, friendly, and charming, Mandolin is housed in a vintage Miami cottage and spills out onto a back patio filled with greenery and twinkle lights. The result is the feeling you've entered the home of a charming host somewhere in the Mediterranean. The food is simple and real, with many herbs and vegetables grown on the premises."

"A Turkish-Greek couple opened Mandolin Aegean Bistro near the Design District, bringing the colors and flavors of the Greek islands to Miami, from the blue-and-white decor to the grilled halloumi and manti dumplings."

"Chef David Lee launched Planta in South Beach with the mission of crafting food that’s sustainable – without using any animal products. He showcases how plant-based eating can be healthy and environmental while still actually tasting good. It’s certainly not just about vegetables here – after all, Lee transforms mushrooms and watermelon into nigiri – and he allows diners to forget that his queso dip is vegan."

"Restaurants Vegan South of Fifth. This stylish plant-based restaurant in the South of Fifth ’hood serves pancakes, pizza and queso dip that won’t completely wreck your waistline. Think of Planta as an upgrade from your usual hippy, vegan dive."

"Don’t let the trendy South Beach location fool you – everything about Planta is elegantly down-to-earth. This innovative plant-based restaurant is inspired by all parts of the world, and it shows in the dishes they serve. While the entire menu isn’t vegan, a large portion of it is, and locals love everything on it."

"If you’re looking for a nice dinner spot in South of Fifth - maybe to celebrate a special occasion or just the fact that you made it across the MacArthur in less than five minutes - Stubborn Seed is the best place to go. It’s a small spot that feels like an old-school cocktail lounge that ran into a steel mill, with lots of dark wood and metal pipes lining the leather booths. The reason you come here, though, is for the excellent food, which changes up regularly, but always includes lots of fresh seafood."

"SoFiThe tasting menu is all the rage at Top Chef’s season 13 winner Jeremy Ford’s Miami venture. With items that change constantly based on what’s in season, every visit to this alluring outpost is a titillating adventure for the taste buds. The kitchen is roughly the same size as the dining room, with its hustling crew on full display through glass windows."

"Top Chef winner Jeremy Ford is executing high-end meals at South of Fifth’s Stubborn Seed with dishes like a seared foie gras with pumpkin, crispy duck with creamy grits, and poached Maine lobster. The menu rotates constantly with plenty of seasonal a la carte options as well as eight-course tasting menus."

"This aptly named omakase-style restaurant is literally “hidden” behind a taco shop in Wynwood. Once guests enter with a numeric code (provided when the reservation is made) they encounter an intimate, eight-seat restaurant serving up a 18 dish menu featuring small Japanese appetizers, sashimi, and nigiri, all made with seasonal ingredients brought in from Japan, paired with sake, Sochu beer and wine to wash it down with. Make sure to reserve early as seats book out months in advance."

"This omakase-style sushi spot in Wynwood is hidden inside Taco Stand, a Mexican restaurant, and isn’t cheap (but also isn’t incredibly pricey) at $170 a pop. Diners must make a reservation and are sent a code for entry to a secret door on the evening of their reservation. There are two seatings at Hiden Tuesday through Saturday (7 p.m. and 10 p.m.), and the restaurant fits eight people comfortably for an intimate evening."

"Japanese , Sushi"

"The gist: Chic, sleek Canadian import with a lively bar and a menu spanning multiple cuisines. Think of it like an ultra-modern Cheesecake Factory, with exponentially better food.The food: Massive menu dining is not, in fact, dead and is absolutely crushing it in the former Rosa Mexicano space. And while typically being a jack of all trades is a recipe for mediocrity at best, Moxie nails every proverbial hat they wear."

"Tayrona is a new (mostly) Colombian restaurant in Allapattah from the team behind Wood. There’s outdoor seating, a full bar, and a menu with empanadas, arepas, and sushi."

"If you are in Miami and want to catch a baseball game, head over to the brand new loanDepot park in Little Havana. Home to MLB’s Miami Marlins, this relatively small and new park features a retractable roof and one of the most modern designs in all of Major League Baseball. The park can hold over 36,000 fans, has great views of downtown Miami, and even has massive fish tanks along the backstop that remind you exactly what city you are in."

"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."

"La Carpaccieria is the place to go if you're looking for fresh, unique and delicious carpaccios in Miami. La Carpaccieria offers a wide selection of Carpaccios — salmon, octopus and zucchini are just a few of the variations available. This authentic outdoor dining experience is situated within Upper Buena Vista outdoor mall."

"Think back on the Miami of a year ago, when nobody was sure if our city’s meteoric ride to the top of the American food scene would survive the pandemic’s brutal wrath. Flash forward to now, and even in the height of summer, snagging a reservation at a top restaurant is a tough feat, like Art Basel just kept on going right into hurricane season. Whether or not our restaurant renaissance continues is anyone’s guess, but for now we can all revel in a year that’s seen week after week of world-class openings."

"Cushioned in couture, Politan Row (formerly known as St. Roch Market) is the Design District’s answer to traditional retail dining. From a vegan bakery to a fried chicken stand, this laid-back emporium holds space for an eclectic group of food entrepreneurs to show off their knife skills."
