Best Dinner Places to Eat in Leisure City

"Juvia, the stunning restaurant on the rooftop of the iconic 1111 Lincoln Road building in South Beach, features a brunch menu worthy of its postcard-perfect setting. The restaurant is known for its harmonious blending of French, Japanese and Peruvian cooking styles. Start with bottomless cocktails such as Aperol spritz, prosecco or mimosas before tucking into an inventive appetizer like ceviche carretillero with white fish, crispy calamari and red onions."

"With panoramic views of South Beach, this swanky penthouse retreat is totally photo-worthy, but it’s more than a pretty post. The menu features a mix of French, Peruvian and Japanese cooking, and whether you’re having the truffle ceviche or crispy prosciutto-topped burrata, you’re in for a memorable meal."

"Another great spot that you will find in lincoln road is Juvia, where you can enjoy the breathtaking views of south beach. Unfortunately, with the sky-high views, the price of food and drinks is also high. But, if you genuinely want to enjoy the vacations right then, you must come to juvia."

"The homey feeling you get from Mandolin is no accident: more than a decade ago, husband and wife team Ahmet Erkaya and Anastasia Koutsioukis came across a quaint little 1940s bungalow in the Design District (before it was the “Design District”) and determined it would be the perfect canvas for their dream restaurant: a charming little Greek cottage focused on serving simply prepared bites of Greek and Turkish cuisine. And with a menu divided into mezes, salads, sandwiches, mains, and sides, the restaurant makes it easy to indulge in as much—or as little—as you feel like. Plus, the whole Mediterranean sea bass—grilled with olive oil, lemon, and oregano—is as delightful to Instagram as it is to eat."

"Hidden behind a blue picket fence and shaded by white awnings and umbrellas, Mandolin Aegean Bistro is an al fresco gem in the Miami Design District. It’s popular among Miami’s fashion set, who like to swing by for Mediterranean fare after a morning of shopping. Start with a sampler of homemade hummus and tzatziki with fresh pita and the Greek village salad."

"Take a stroll along NE Second Avenue in the Design District and stop at the blue-framed door of Mandolin Aegean Bistro. Enter the 1940s home and feel like you're in a Greek village complete with blue and white accents. Head to the cozy back patio for a complete Grecian experience, and enjoy a seat at a lantern-lit table beneath the trees."

"South Beach is a stylish place – and Planta is a stylish destination in its own right in the stylish South of Fifth area. This restaurant from nightlife impresario David Grutman serves an inventive menu of plant-based fare. The architecturally clean lines of the dining room are perfectly suited to a menu that lets vegetables shine in globally inspired dishes such as a rainbow sushi roll of “ahi” watermelon, slaw, avocado, gochujang and peanuts; pizza topped with mushroom “bacon” and cashew-based mozzarella; and lettuce wraps packed with crispy Korean cauliflower and tofu."

"For vegetarians and vegans, one of the top venues to visit is Planta. The food is so delicious and creative that even meat and seafood lovers enjoy dining out in this restaurant. Typical dishes on the menu include vegetarian versions of burgers and pizzas."

"I loved the service and the food wasn't bad, the place inside was cute. They were having a brunch that was bottomless mimosas or margaritas for $25...."

"What’s there to say about Stubborn Seed that hasn’t been said already?. The award-winning upscale SoFi eatery is helmed by chef Jeremy Ford, a Top Chef alum who masterfully creates dishes that are as flavorful as they are beautiful.

We came for breakfast and were enamored with the fresh baked bread here. I hear the pizza and especially the crust are even better and definitely worth coming here later in the day."
