Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Glenvar Heights

"At this ultramodern rooftop restaurant over the Herzog & de Meuron-designed parking garage on Lincoln Road, the views are compelling, the decor is slick and comfortable, and the feeling is singular for South Beach. The menu, which includes both breakfast- and lunch-oriented plates, begins with a choice of a salad made with avocado, tomato, and Hawaiian hearts of palm; pink shrimp acevichado; beef carpaccio; or granola with yogurt, fresh fruit, and honey. Then, opt for one of the following: a smoked salmon eggs Benedict; branzino a la plancha; truffle spinach-mushroom quiche; or grilled skirt steak."

"Juvia is one of the best restaurants in South Beach for a brunch experience. Located on Lincoln Road not only does Juvia impress with its large rooftop terrace and amazing views over the city but the food is equally as amazing as are the cocktails!. Normally, Juvia has a $65 buffet but during current times the menu is a little different."

"The homey feeling you get from Mandolin is no accident: more than a decade ago, husband and wife team Ahmet Erkaya and Anastasia Koutsioukis came across a quaint little 1940s bungalow in the Design District (before it was the “Design District”) and determined it would be the perfect canvas for their dream restaurant: a charming little Greek cottage focused on serving simply prepared bites of Greek and Turkish cuisine. And with a menu divided into mezes, salads, sandwiches, mains, and sides, the restaurant makes it easy to indulge in as much—or as little—as you feel like. Plus, the whole Mediterranean sea bass—grilled with olive oil, lemon, and oregano—is as delightful to Instagram as it is to eat."

"Mandolin is going to make an appearance in any conversation you have about where to eat in Miami. It’s like Stan Lee in Marvel superhero movies, and its cameo is inevitable, expected, and somehow always feels appropriate. Everyone eats here because it’s one of the prettiest outdoor restaurants in the city."

"Oh Mandolin, how I love you and wish a boy would take me on a date here (shameless self-promotion, but whatever). This little indoor/outdoor Greek restaurant sits in the heart of Midtown Miami and it’s romantic ambience will definitely get you in the mood…for food, of course."

"From a mouth-watering Planta burger ($19.95) to steamed dumplings ($11.75), the South Beach vegan hot spot is satisfying those quarantine cravings. Open for delivery or pickup from Tuesday through Saturday from 3 to 9 p.m. and available on Postmates, Uber Eats and Door Dash."

"For vegetarians and vegans, one of the top venues to visit is Planta. The food is so delicious and creative that even meat and seafood lovers enjoy dining out in this restaurant. Typical dishes on the menu include vegetarian versions of burgers and pizzas."

"Restaurants Vegan South of Fifth"

"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."

"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."

"We got the New York steak, skirt steak, salmon, pork chops, and the Thai beef salad and everything was outstanding. Our server was…”more"

"With plenty of outdoor space for kids to run and play, Wynwood Yard makes the top of many local families’ lists of favorite dining experiences. Before 10 p.m., both kids and dogs are welcome to enjoy this hub of different venues with a variety of flavors. Order from your choice of local menus and let the kids get their energy out in this outdoor space."

"The drag brunch at R House is a Miami Sunday tradition right up there with getting disappointed by the Dolphins. But unlike the Dolphins, R House is full of pleasant surprises, where in addition to the best drag revue in the city you’ll also get a menu that would be pretty fantastic even if it wasn’t raining men. The R Cuban Breakfast with scrambled eggs, moros y cristianos, and tostones would put you into a food coma if not for Miss Athena Dixon and her cadre of performers."

"R House is a fine dining restaurant and lounge with an art gallery right in the heart of Miami’s Wynwood arts district, serving a contemporary and eclectic mix of American, Mediterranean, Asian and Latin dishes. R House provides patrons the opportunity to admire and acquire art as well as enjoy DJs and live music. One thing to know about this restaurant is that their Sunday brunch is one of the best in town."

"Their name translates to "Green Living Animals Matter." This minimalist restaurant offers everything from jackfruit tacos to avocado miso toast to pear flatbread to farro risotto."

"Sometimes after a long night of vodka-sodas, you wake up seriously craving some diner food. And if you happen to live in Downtown or Brickell, that no longer means having to drag your hungover self through beach traffic to get it. This retro destination delivers a menu of over-the-top waffle flavors like bacon and cheddar and Oreo and Nutella alongside a waffle sandwich filled with ham, swiss, and fried eggs."

"Miami Diner, which already has a Downtown location, just opened in the old David’s Cafe space. They’ve got one of those very large diner menus, with burgers, breakfast, milkshakes, sandwiches, salads, pasta, and more."

"Whether you’re seated in the intimate dining room or the lush courtyard, at Joey’s you’ll feel like you’re dining at a friend’s welcoming home. The casual Italian eatery – which was one of the first restaurants in Wynwood – is all about the carb life, with an array of authentic pizzas and pastas. You can’t go wrong with the spaghetti vongole, made with middleneck clams, olive oil, garlic and white wine sauce."

"As the name suggests Joey’s is located in the Wynwood area of Miami and it was actually the first restaurant to open in the area. It is one of the best Miami Italian restaurants for pizza but has a full menu with other dishes. Try the grilled octopus, eggplant parmigiana, or meatballs for a starter or try the Charcuterie platter that comes in two sizes depending on the size of your party!"
