Best Fine Dining in Miami Beach

"The solo debut by Miami’s own Top Chef winner, Jeremy Ford, Stubborn Seed is a cozy-yet-hip South of Fifth spot turning out some of the city’s most elevated cuisine. While there is a complete a la carte menu with dishes like ricotta gnudi, warm celery root with crispy mushrooms, and smoked prime rib, the real highlight here is the tasting menu, where guests can try a bevy of classics and seasonal creations, plus get some of its melt-in-your mouth gooey snickerdoodle cookies to take home to remember the meal."

"Snickerdoodle fans rejoice — Stubborn Seed’s famed cookies are available to go. Other sweet menu items include salted fudge brownies, key lime crumble, coconut flan, and ice cream sandwiches. There’s even a special gift box that features a 6-inch cake (chocolate cookies and cream or vanilla with cheesecake frosting), a bottle of bubbles, personalized card, and candles for $75."

"The brunch menu is split between sweet and savory making it easy to order dessert for breakfast. Go for the Chai waffles with whipped espresso cream and spiced syrup. Maybe the espresso cream will help fight off the sugar coma."

"This quaint spot between Downtown Miami and Wynwood is an oyster lovers’ paradise, with an ever-changing rotation of fresh oysters from the east and west coasts. In addition to oysters served in all fashions (from raw to Rockefeller-style), indulge in Mignonette’s lobster deviled eggs, buttery lobster rolls and the jumbo diver sea scallops. Be sure to save room for dessert, as the butterscotch and Heath bar bread pudding is worth every calorie."

"Smith & Wollensky is a renowned American steakhouse located in Miami Beach. With establishments located across the US, as well as in Taipei and London, the waterfront views of this restaurant make it one of the best Smith & Wollensky destinations (in our opinion). Whether you're looking to go for dinner with friends or host a private event, you can't go wrong here."

"This classic steakhouse perched in the South of Fifth neighborhood is just as popular for its views as it is for its meat selection. Grab a drink on the overlook deck and soak up the waterfront views while dining on your meal."

"Eat first-rate steaks while cruise ships sail by Nothing says "I love you" like cutting into a giant hunk of bloody meat across from your special someone, right?"

"The team behind celeb-favorite Sugar Factory launched the first Happy Place Donuts on Española Way in South Beach with a glass-enclosed kitchen allowing visitors to watch the donuts being made. While you can keep it simple and delicious by ordering a chocolate glazed or the original Happy Donut with a vanilla glaze, go for the outrageously fun options that include a rainbow donut topped with Skittles, monkey bread with sea salt cream cheese frosting, or a crispy Nutella donut. The Hot & Happy Dough Balls, a bag of brioche dough balls sprinkled in powdered sugar, are another popular choice."

"There’s no happier place than a doughnut shop and Happy Place calls it like it is. From the team behind the famous Sugar Factory, Happy Place is South Beach’s answer for everything hot, fluffy and sweet. The Espanola Way location is a massive 4,000-square-foot doughnut wonderland with finger-licking flavors inspired by Italian street food."

"What do you get when you pair Chef Katsuya Uechi with designer Philippe Starck?. A butterfly decorated contemporary sushi lounge. The atmosphere is not the only attraction about Katsuya; the food is justifiably a crowd pleaser."

"It was very hard to decide what I liked most about Cote, a Korean steakhouse in the Design District. There was the fact that the entire staff seemed to be sharing a single consciousness like a beehive, as they effortlessly tended to the beef sizzling away on the grill located in the center of the table. There was the restaurant’s design, which made me feel like I was eating 1,000 years in the future."

"Ring local staple Joe’s Stone Crab for a takeout lunch just down the street; Miami natives know the side dishes are the best things on the menu. Order a few claws, but focus on hashed brown potatoes, famous coleslaw, sweet potato fries, creamed spinach and a slice of Key lime pie if you have room. Dine outside at your picnic tables and enjoy the view."

"We were excited to go since we live in Miami and we had never tried it. For some reason our waiter Lucas thought it was necessary to tell us 15 minutes i..."

"A former Drug Enforcement Agency warehouse, the Rubell Family Collection located in Wynwood proves to be anything but conventional. Spanning 40,000-square-feet, the museum tailors the whole first floor as the “New Shamans” exhibit, which features the work of artists who hail from South America. While the downstairs transports you into an enriching world that addresses environmental, social and political concerns, the museum’s “High Anxiety: New Acquisitions” is more therapeutic: the exhibit uses art to channel and understand everyday nerves and stresses."

"WynwoodThe Rubell family, whose name has been synonymous with art and philanthropy in Miami for decades, has renovated a 100,000-square-foot industrial space west of Wynwood to showcase its massive collection. The family prides itself on finding great artists early in their careers, and visiting the museum you’ll find stuff from Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Jeff Koons, Rashid Johnson, and others from long before the world knew their names. The private collection is beyond impressive, with 7,200 works from more than 1,000 artists."

"It was the talk of the town during Art Basel 2020, and not without reason. The Rubells' new museum in Allapattah is by far the best permanent collection of art in South Florida, showcasing the family's vast collection of contemporary art from the '60s onward. You'll find work by Jeff Koons, Sterling Ruby, and Kehinde Wiley and a shrine-like gallery for Keith Haring."
