Best French Bakery in Sunset Islands

"If you can judge a doughnut by the number of people waiting in line to eat it, consider these rounds the best in town. Tucked inside a charming Wynwood storefront, the Salty Donut whips up treats in flavors like guava-cheese, maple bacon and Nutella-stuffed. But the real winner here is the tres leches doughnut, made with white chocolate and lots of cream and then torched to perfection."

"Although 'artisanal doughnuts' sounds pretentious, no one can deny the merits of these artfully designed creations featuring seasonal ingredients – probably the best in South Florida. Maple and bacon, guava and... Mexican in Wynwood & the Design District"

"We hate to break it to you, but you haven’t had bread until you’ve eaten a slice of deliciousness from Zak the Baker. Luckily, this dough is served in dozens of restaurants, available for purchase at Whole Foods and always in stock at the flagship bakery in Wynwood. Plus, the bakery offers a spate of other freshly baked goods like chocolate babka, croissants, cookies and cinnamon rolls."

"The popular kosher baker, who’s bread can be found all over town in grocery stores and restaurants, also boasts his own successful standalone shop. Expect not only his signature breads, but also an assortment of soups, bagels, sandwiches, and pastries during the day, along with falafel pop-up in the evenings."

"Located in Wynwood, Fireman Derek’s World Famous Pies serves up some of the most delicious pies around, with flavors like chocolate peanut butter, brown butter pie, and s’mores. They also have a killer guava cheesecake, red velvet cake, and serve lunch pies, including their infamous mac and cheese pie. If you’re in the mood for some seriously savory pies, you’re going to have to hit this spot in the vibrant streets of Miami’s arts district."

"No need to drive to Key West for a quality slice: Miami is replete with plenty of takes on the classic pie that nail the sweet-to-tart ratio. At Fireman Derek’s, the key lime is the most requested flavor—and it’s no surprise why. It strikes the perfect balance between tart and sweet, and it always includes a generous heap of whipped cream."

"No limit on the amount of toilet paper (cakes) one can buy here. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Lucila Cakes (@lucilacakesmiami) on Apr 11, 2020 at 8:08am PDT"

"Amare Ristorante is perfectly nestled on a spacious corner in the South of Fifth neighborhood of South Beach, welcoming guests with its 4,000-square-foot outdoor terrace. It’s a multi-sensory destination, dotted with the colors and scents of bougainvillea and lemon trees. Michelin-starred Chef Cosimo Cassano has curated a menu inspired by the flavors of Naples and the Amalfi Coast, with savory specialties such as the pasta di gragnano with a one-pound Maine lobster; agnello al Moscato di trani grilled Colorado lamb chops; and branzino al sale, whole salt-baked Mediterranean sea bass."

"A relaxed restaurant, Monty’s is located in South Beach just to the right of the MacArthur causeway. There is a raw bar serving a wide range of seafood, and the menu offers a large selection of fish and seafood dishes. There is an outdoor eating area for guests to dine al fresco in an area with a tiki hut theme, and there is even an outdoor swimming pool."

"A hidden favorite down the road, Monty’s, is ideal for waterfront afternoon drinking and the occasional local band. Walk along the dock to admire boats of all shapes and sizes."

"This Italian style eatery has an assortment of meat and cheese breakfast sandwiches in the morning and pizza for lunch and dinner. 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."

"One of my favourite places to eat in South Beach which was ultra affordable was Andrix Cafe. We ended up having lunch here a couple of times in the 4 days we stayed in South Beach. Andrix Cafe has super yummy pizza and drinks available as well as free Wifi."
