Best Dinner Places to Eat in Wynwood Walls

"Those seeking a refreshing change to the usual SoBe restaurants should look up...way, way up, at the rooftop gem known as Juvia. Flaunting French, Japanese, and Peruvian inspired dishes, this eclectic eatery boasts nothing but the freshest ingredients and boldest flavors. Located at the top of the 1111 Garage on Lincoln Road, Juvia is a popular spot for lunch for the South Beach business crowd (with a $23 prix-fixe menu, why wouldn't it be)."

"The best dinner view in Miami, period Busting out your phone on a romantic night out is about the fastest way to ensure there’s not another date... but it’s almost impossible when presented with the art deco tableau spread out in front of you at Juvia. From the top of the 1111 building, this restaurant looks east across Miami Beach at the largest collection of art deco buildings in the world, then out onto the Atlantic Ocean."

"Set up in a modern penthouse with views of Miami Beach, Juvia is the local’s go-to when it comes to rooftop restaurants. The menu matches the avant-garde décor—offering an eclectic mix of French, Japanese, and Peruvian meals varying from tuna poke to duck confit. Decorated in a lovely lilac and white motif underneath the starry-night sky, this outdoor restaurant checks all the boxes so that you can focus on sealing the deal."

"If you’re looking for a getaway to the Greek islands, you might as well save on airfare and visit Mandolin instead. Housed in a 1940s home, this quaint blue and white restaurant covered under blooming bougainvillea is reminiscent of the Greek tavernas. Tables are set in a lush garden lit by dainty patio lights where the soft murmur of conversation makes it all the more romantic."

"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."

"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."

"A lot of these expensive restaurants are mainly meat or seafood meals, but for an elegant plant-based meal, Planta South Beach is the spot. This entirely vegan restaurant offers unbelievable veggie dishes including sushi, cheesy pasta and croquetas. The restaurant itself is beautiful and garden like and basically everything about this place is a nature lovers paradise."

"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."

"Time Out lists Stubborn Seed as one of the best places to dine in South Beach. It is run by Jeremy Ford, who won Top Chef. There is a seasonally changing menu that reflects the availability of fresh local produce."

"Little Havana’s shining star offers up Latin bites and beer in an intimate setting that includes a hidden back patio with a tropical vibe.

Tucked away inside a gorgeous boutique hotel in Miami Beach, this upscale Italian favorite is perfect for romantic evenings and special occasion dinners. Savor creamy, refreshing burrata with organic tomatoes and fresh basil to start, then dig into the famous ricotta cavatelli pasta, flavorful beef tenderloin with seared foie gras and toasted hazelnuts, or succulent Taylor Bay scallops with Ligurian olive oil."

"Restaurants Haitian Little Haiti / Lemon City. Most of the food this Little Haiti barbecue joint serves is well within the $10 mark but none stands out more than the zakos—a mashup of tacos and Haitian-spiced BBQ meats. The zoe-style tacos (available with chicken; griot, Haitian fried pork; brisket or fried fish) comes three to an order and each one is wrapped in a soft tortilla and topped with queso fresco, sour cream, cilantro and pickles."

It’s a female-owned company that proudly roasts all its coffee beans in its Brooklyn roastery, and sources environmentally and socially responsible beans from Kenya, Honduras, Burundi, Guatemala and Colombia."

"Cafe Grumpy was born out of the owner’s attitude when going into other inferior coffee shops. Since so many New Yorkers travel to Miami, this Brooklyn-based shop traveled down south to deliver the best cup of coffee in Miami. The proud female-owned company roasts all of its beans in Brooklyn."

"Brooklyn import Cafe Grumpy has set up its first location outside of the Big Apple in Coral Gables. The coffee shop serves up a variety of different coffee from the top regions around the world and boasts a variety of classes to learn more about coffee."

"The whimsical ice cream shop by longtime Robuchon protégé, Salvatore Martone, will be offering Valentine’s Day ice cream desserts that embrace the spirit of love. Almost too beautiful to eat, Martone has created heart-shaped “cakesicles” (cake ice cream popsicles), which will be available in red velvet cake, chocolate and mango passion flavors. In addition to the specialty treats, Frohzen also offers its popular red velvet cake ice cream in full ice cream cakes as well as ice cream cupcakes topped with cream cheese soft serve frosting."

"If you’re wondering how Frohzen got to serving such photogenic ice cream, look no further than Salvatore Martone, Le Jardinier’s executive pastry chef and a longtime protégé of the late Joël Robuchon. With a pedigree like his, whimsy and creativity are to be expected. Frohzen’s house-made ice cream is presented as sundaes with a flurry of toppings, frozen cupcakes with swirls of frosting and even macaron ice cream sandwiches—a very fancy option that we’re very much into."

This award winning Florida based chain of restaurants use only in-season produce for all their preparations."
