18 Best Restaurants in Miami, Florida
"This family-owned doughnut shop in Wynwood is not your average dessert place and that’s a good thing. Doughnut flavors here change seasonally and all of the family’s yeast-raised doughnuts use a 24-hour brioche recipe (think butter, flaky bread and more butter). The Salty Donut serves cake doughnuts too, which are crunchy on the outside, and moist on the inside."
"The Salty Doughnut launched in 2015 as Miami’s first artisanal doughnut shop. It quickly became a staple in Wynwood and raving fans rejoiced when a second location opened in South Miami. We recommend the maple bacon donut but you can’t go wrong with any of the flavors."
"Zak Stern has found overwhelming success with this kosher café in Wynwood. Having started as an artisanal baker pedalling sourdough loaves at farmers' markets, Zak now has a loyal following, with a line out the door at lunchtime. In addition to his comforting baked goods, the café serves daily sandwich, soup, salad and quiche specials."
"This Wynwood bakery has the best flourless dark chocolate almond cookie in town. And dark chocolate rye. And wheat chocolate chip."
"This hole in the wall bakeshop is located in the heart of Wynwood, where hipsters and trendsetters unite. It’s owned and operated by a former fireman whose dream was to own a bakery. And thankfully for us, he accomplished his dream and create the most insta and drool worthy pies."

"Popsicles and paletas are one of the toughest foods to get delivered, but Paletas Morelia has figured it out. The local chain offers takeout and delivery on any of its tasty frozen treats and it’s not skimping on toppings either. Each order comes packed in dry ice and arrives with the finishings of your choice—think sprinkles, cookies, chocolate syrup and more—to DIY at home."
"Restaurants Ice cream parlors Coral Gables. Morelia Gourmet Paletas only does artisanal Mexican popsicles and they do it so well. The colorful pops are made with all-natural ingredients and fully customizable so no two paletas will ever be the same."
"Grab one to-go or opt for one of its do-it-yourself kits where customers can choose between a 4-pack or an 8-pack kit, which comes with their choice of paleta flavors and different dippings and toppings. Available for takeout or delivery."
"Java & Jam gives you a perfect Fort Lauderdale downtown experience, filling you up with a caffeine boost and wholesome meal before you begin your day. Photo from Java & Jam via Facebook. If you’re in a rush, Java & Jam’s the place for you."
"Restaurants Ice cream parlors Design District. Pastry chef Soraya Caraccioli-Kilgore’s playful dessert spot sells vibrant unicorn cakes, rich chocolate bark and soft-serve in unexpected flavors. Her ice cream, in varieties such as matcha and berry rhubarb, is already pretty special yet she always finds a way to kick it up a notch with add-ons like edible glitter, gold leaf, gold dust, cotton candy and fancy sprinkles—and we’re all the more grateful for it."
"Soraya Kilgore — best known as the pastry chef at restaurants like Brava and Alter — is the woman behind this palace of sweets in Miami's Design District. MadLab Creamery isn't just about the ice cream, however. This spot also entices young and old to create their own sweet-treat work of art via more than 30 toppings, including edible glitter, tufts of pink cotton candy, golden-sheet sprinkles, even a macaroon or two."
"1111 SW 1st Avenue, MiamiA former El Bulli employee, and recognized as one of the most talented chefs in the world, Diego Muñoz, has created one of the most interesting new restaurants in Miami, in the innovative 1111 Peruvian Bistro. Chef Muñoz travelled the world for work and for inspiration. This inspiration manifests itself food that hints of his global view, his mentors, and the places he has lived."
"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."
"The ultimate waterfront dining experience that joins the worlds of boaters and diners. After a long day out on the water, dock your boat and join us for a meal, deck shoes and shades meets bottles and breeze. Savor a delicious assortment of Mediterranean-inspired tapas and cocktails all served with a side of amazing Fort Lauderdale waterfront views."
"Situated inside The Palms Hotel and Spa on Miami Beach, this gourmet restaurant features New American cuisine in a laid back garden atmosphere. At Essensia, it's all about using fresh, seasonal, and local ingredients, often times straight from the chef's own organic garden hidden behind the hotel's Tiki Bar. With a clear slant toward wanting guests to enjoy not only a sustainable but also a health-conscious and earth-friendly meal, you can bet there are wonderful menu options for vegans and vegetarians as well as omnivores."
