Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Bal Harbour

"You’ve surely dined at Juvia in the evening, but have you visited this rooftop restaurant for brunch?. Beyond the unbelievable city views, Juvia serves a pretty affordable bottomless brunch (by Miami Beach standards, at least). Enjoy two hours of all-you-can-drink mimosas, tequila margaritas or bellinis for $30."

"Restaurants South Beach. No matter the time of year, sunset dinners at Juvia are marked by candy-colored skies. Consider it a free show or part of the experience when you dine at the Lincoln Road restaurant."

"For rooftop fiends who want off Ocean Drive, Juvia on the west end of Lincoln Road provides a beautiful--and expensive--alternative atop a designer parking garage. A photo posted by To Live."

"When you step through the cerulean front door and into Mandolin’s whitewashed courtyard, it feels as though you’ve teleported to Santorini. The Aegean restaurant opened in 2009, before the Design District developed into a popular Miami destination, and quickly garnered fans thanks to its fresh menu of Greek-Turkish classics and fruit-filled sangria. Snag a spot on the shaded terrace, and cover the table with grilled halloumi, fish swimming in olive oil and lemon juice, chunks of watermelon served with mint and feta, and spicy meat kebabs with thick yogurt."

"Mandolin Aegean Bistro requesting a table under in the courtyard canopy, soon to be covered with a medley of Greek and Turkish dishes, be it hot (or cold) mezze or daily fish specials. Alternatively, reserve in advance to experience the apex of modern American cuisine at"

"Vegan and vegetarian food finally got the street cred it deserves with the arrival of Planta South Beach. The Toronto eatery, brought to Miami by hospitality king David Grutman, serves up cuisine that makes even the most staunch carnivores happy. The menu boasts a variety of plant-based comfort food favorites like sushi made with dehydrated watermelon that tastes like the real thing, cauliflower tots, and coconut-based ceviche, all served up in a lush and very tropical Miami setting."

"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."

"Restaurants Vegan South of Fifth. This stylish plant-based restaurant in the South of Fifth ’hood serves pancakes, pizza and queso dip that won’t completely wreck your waistline. Think of Planta as an upgrade from your usual hippy, vegan dive."

"Helmed by Chef Jeremy Ford, this Miami Beach mainstay serves up fresh and creative fare made from seasonal, often locally sourced ingredients. You can dine on tasty homemade potato rolls with fennel pollen and garbanzo chili dip, succulent scallops with coconut chili emulsion, baby spinach and sunchokes, and prime Wagyu beef cheek paired with crispy charred maitakes. If you’re a sweets lover, don’t miss the decadent snickerdoodle cookies, baked fresh in house and served warm straight from the oven."

"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. Everything about Stubborn Seed is an experience, which is why the Chef’s Tasting can’t be recommended enough."

"Cipriani Downtown Miami is high-fashion Italian dining in many ways, from the clientele wearing designer labels to the contemporary cuisine to the space, designed in blue and white by Florentine architect Michele Bonan. Located on the waterfront, the two-level, indoor-outdoor restaurant features Murano glass chandeliers, floor-to-ceiling windows and decorative elements inspired by luxury yachts and ocean liners. A sibling to the famed Ciprianis worldwide and the original Harry's Bar in Venice, the menu offers Italian luxuries of all kinds: aged Praga ham, homemade ravioli and tortellini, langoustines served scampi-style, and of course Champagne bowls filled with the famed Bellinis, comprising peach puree and Prosecco, that were invented at Harry's."

"If we talk about the best Italian restaurants in Miami, then hardly any of the visitors to Cipriani Downtown will forget to mention this particular restaurant. Atmospheric design, delicious cuisine, pleasant staff, and most importantly – a wonderful view, all this makes people come here again and again. Cipriani Downtown’s menu most often includes healthy salads, a variety of seafood dishes, pasta, risotto, as well as delicious meat dishes."

"Located in downtown Brickell with panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, the gorgeous outdoor patio and nautical-themed dining room at Cipriani can’t be beat when it comes to finding the perfect place to enjoy a plate of authentic potato gnocchi or a glass of chilled wine. The spot is a favorite thanks to the venue’s chic Miami aesthetic and impeccable dining service. 465 Brickell Ave Miami, FL 33131"

"Editor's Note: Photo taken from the establishment's official social account. Serving lunch, dinner, and cocktails, Kaluz is right on the waterfront in Fort Lauderdale. A selection of entrees, flatbreads, salads, and side dishes complement the fish, chicken, and beef dishes, along with burgers, pork chops, and Danish ribs."

"I've been to this resturant three times over the span of 5 years and I love it. Their food choices are delicious, we chose this spot for a friends b..."

"DIRT Sunset Harbor is a good bet for a healthy brekkie, while Ice Box is known for more decadent morning dishes. Then, make a beeline for the beach to get a good spot in the sand. The busiest, and notoriously party-oriented, stretch of the beach lies between 5th Street and 20th Street. If that’s not your idea of a perfect day in the sun, head north of 25th Street for a more peaceful beach experience."

"This spot comes from the Mandolin team, and they already have a MiMo location. You can expect gyros, lavash wraps, and kebabs."

"This family-run Turkish establishment serves authentic, Mediterranean meals in a modest setting. A La Turca is the go-to Mediterranean restaurant in Hollywood. Start your dining experience with the zucchini fritters, then move to the Iskender Kabob, which is a dish of marinated, seasoned and thinly sliced lamb meat cooked on a rotisserie then stuffed between a buttery pita with tomato sauce and yogurt."

"The scent of lamb, charred eggplant, and exotic spices have been luring locals to this casual Hollywood spot for over a decade. Chef/owner Gerardo Avila serves a menu of comforting Turkish fare with a touch of American and European flavors. The result: appetizers like falafel with chickpea, cilantro, and parsley ($7); and beef liver with pomegranate sauce ($10)."

"Turkish cuisine doesn’t seem to get the same attention as the foods of its neighbors, even though it influenced the cuisines of most of the region. Regardless, a visit to this downtown Hollywood spot will make you a cheerleader for Turkey’s kebabs, mezze, and desserts."

"The Grand Resort and Spa in the North Beach area of Fort Lauderdale Beach is an exclusive and sophisticated guest house and spa that has earned national acclaim as one of the city's best gay-owned spas. Offering the finest of services to both guests and scheduled clients such as specialty massages, facials, wet room treatments, manicures, pedicures, waxing and hair cuts and use of the resort's amenities while the spa is open. The Grand Resort and Spa is like a private refuge in the midst of a bustling seaside section of Fort Lauderdale Beach, the Grand Resort and Spa is well-known for is class and elegance in both style and service."

"Think of it as the place to go for a mix of recovery, hydrotherapy and luxury. There’s a Turkish-style hammam, aroma steam room, Roman waterfall hot tub, Finnish sauna, arctic plunge, mud lounge and infinity pool as well as treatment baths. And that’s not even counting the dozens of different treatments available, such as facials, massages, body scrubs and even nail art."

"The Standard Spa hotel boasts an inspired fitness and wellness programmes in its popular spa. It features a Turkish hammam, do-it-yourself hydrotherapy treatments, saunas, yoga rooms and a series of outdoor mud baths. The spacious lobby opens up to a labyrinthine zen garden with hanging chairs and fire pits hidden amidst the hedges."

"South Florida – a land of escaped slaves, guerrilla Native Americans, gangsters, land grabbers, pirates, tourists, drug dealers and alligators – has a special history, and it takes a special kind of museum to capture that narrative. This highly recommended place, located in the Miami-Dade Cultural Center, does just that, weaving together the stories of the region’s successive waves of population, from Native Americans to Nicaraguans."

"HistoryMiami doesn't sound like the name of a historical museum, which is exactly what its board members had in mind. The less-bulky name signified a new direction for what was previously called the Historical Museum of Southern Florida. Today, the museum, which actually began as a historical association in 1940 continues to offer the exhibits that were developed throughout the previous decades, as well as incorporating new ones."

"Miami is an ideal restoration depot for art and creativity and David Castillo’s art gallery of Miami poses the perfect example of that. Established in 2005 by art dealer and art history educator David Castillo, this gallery showcases the enigma of contemporary artists of color, women, and queer artists of current time exhibiting more than 130 exhibitions within such a short time. David Castillo has also been named the best art dealer in 2010 and continues to finance projects and monograms."

"David Castillo is one of the most thoughtful, revered, and respected gallery owners in South Florida. His is one of the few galleries invited to Art Basel, and the artists he represents are all excellent contemporary artists, young and middle-aged, who have also established careers. David’s academic pedigree is extremely strong, but he remains a true gentleman and his opinions and recommendations are taken very seriously by art collectors and enthusiasts."

"Wander the 5,000-square-foot David Castillo Gallery, a neighborhood favorite featuring local and international emerging artists. At Bakehouse Art Complex, which houses more than 50 studios and 70 galleries, you’ll get a glimpse of the creative process and the product."
