Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Miami Shores

"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."

"Head out for an al fresco dinner when you eat at Juvia, a Japanese-Peruvian fusion hot spot located on the roof of a parking garage above Lincoln Road. The fun part is when you pull into the garage and go right up the elevator to your..."

"This rooftop restaurant overlooks all of Lincoln Road and serves up some of the best food I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. It’s pretty pricey, so you might want to get your parents to treat you."

"This restaurant, built on the legacy of a beautiful love story, was founded in 2009 by Amhet Erkaya and Anastasia Koutsioukis, a married couple fascinated with the taverns of the Aegean coastal villages. It is a healthy and unpretentious setting that is strict about using the freshest ingredients and is attended by cheerful staff members in a cozy and friendly environment. This bistro was created after remodeling a gorgeous scenic house which easily holds 150 diners, it offers interior seating, an outdoor dining room, its own bakery, a market and a garden where the key elements for the preparation of exquisite seasonal dishes are harvested."

"Offering a menu full of delicious Greek and Turkish cuisine, Mandolin Aegean Bistro is situated in Miami's Design District. Founded in 2009 by husband and wife, Ahmet Erkaya and Anastasia Koutsioukis, the idea behind Mandolin was to serve simple, unpretentious, healthy food using fresh ingredients in a welcoming atmosphere. With a peaceful outdoor dining area, and a garden growing seasonal ingredients for the dishes, it's clear that Ahmet and Anastasia have achieved their goal with Mandolin."

"Channel your inner Greek goddess by requesting an alfresco table on the restaurant’s whitewashed, greenery-filled outdoor patio and diving into over a few orders of the cheese saganaki and kefte meatballs. 4312 NE Second Ave.; 305-749-9140 or mandolinmiami.com.

"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."

"The meat-free burgers are made with black beans, mashed lentils and beetroot and topped with a gooey vegan “cheese” made of carrot and potato. Plus, the restaurant is chock-full of other vegetarian and vegan plates, such as cauliflower “tater” tots, fruit and vegetable sushi, “ceviche” made with coconut instead of fish, and a creamy bucatini pasta with zucchini spirals. 850 Commerce St., Miami Beach; 305-397-8513 or plantarestaurants.com"

"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."

"There were some pretty small portions, but some really great tastes. We didn't love everything we tried, but it was definite..."

"Of course, the food in Miami isn’t only about the city’s rich heritage and cultural influences. Miami also channels its geography into its culinary landscape, with plenty of seafood. One of the top seafood options on many Miami menus?"

"Fort Lauderdale's rich history for African-Americans is presented in this inspiring museum. Many of the honors that are due to pioneers in the African-American community in Broward County are not recorded, but it is here through exhibits and lectures and special events that visitors and locals can learn more of this interesting and exciting chapter of local history. Built in 1924, this was the region's lone African-American school for children during segregation."

"A visit to the International Swimming Hall of Fame entails an impressive tour offering much more than visitors expect. The complex includes a museum, hall of fame, and world-class aquatic center. After its construction in 1965 and extensive renovations in 1991, the aquatic center today hosts national and international swimming events while the Hall of Fame showcases the accomplishments of competitive swimmers, water polo players, synchronized swimmers, divers, and others."

"This fascinating museum located conveniently off A1A and just steps from the beach, will appeal to the champion swimmer in everyone. The International Swimming Hall of Fame highlights the achievements of notable swimmers and contains aquatic artifacts dating to the 15th century. Computerized exhibits let you pretend you are an Olympic swimmer, diver, or judge."

"ShenandoahLook, if you want wood-fired, Neapolitan, topped-with-oysters-and-golden-truffle pizza, Miami’s got plenty of options. But if you want pizza that’s the stuff you remember eating immediately after your little league games and tastes like a simpler time, there is only Cassola’s. And while those slices might have seemed monstrous when you were a kid, they still look gargantuan today, and a $5 cheese slice is enough for a full meal."

"Big, saucy, greasy, and cheesy, a pizza pie any other way wouldn't be baked at Casola's. The pizza place tucked between Little Havana and Coconut Grove has fattened neighborhood rugrats and late-night bar-hoppers looking for a sobering slice for 21 years. The pizza slices are huge, New York style, and come in pairs for $2.85."

"At this local spot hungry diners can find slices of pizza as big as their head for under $5 along with inexpensive sandwiches and huge chicken wings. Available for takeout and outdoor dining. View this post on Instagram"

"The Capital Grille is one of the most elegant restaurants in Fort Lauderdale, serving extraordinary classic American fare made from exceptional ingredients, resulting artfully prepared cuisine. You can’t go wrong with amazing dishes like the Kona Crusted Wagyu Burger with Shalot Mayo, Seared Tenderloin with Butter Poached Lobster Tail, or the Double-Cut Lamb Rib Chops. Indulge in their impressive and extensive wine list or choose something from the full bar."

"From the moment you step inside, the experience is one of comfortable elegance. Take your pick among the more than 350 world-class wines awaiting you at The Capital Grille, hailing from nearly every wine-growing region on Earth. The restaurant's acclaimed dry aged steaks and fresh seafood deserve nothing less than an award-winning wine list."
