Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Norland

"Perched at the top of South Beach’s 1111 Lincoln Road building, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron, Juvia offers spectacular scenery along with a winning menu. With both indoor and outdoor seating, a vertical garden and 280-degree views of Greater Miami stretching from the beach to Biscayne Bay, you’ll feel like you’re on top of the world. The cuisine at this fine-dining establishment combines French techniques with Asian and Latin flavors."

"It's a win-win for parents and children at this swanky rooftop restaurant on Lincoln Road. While you thrill to beautiful city views and a refined menu of French-Asian specialties, the kids can chow down on one of four $24 bento boxes named for the owner's and chef's children. Each box comes with a protein, two sides, and cookies."

"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..."

"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."

"Probably the least Miami Instagrammable destination on this list, but totally perfect if you feel like pretending you’ve been whisked off to a Greek island. Not only are the decor and ambiance straight out of a dream at Mandolin, but so is its food so make sure to snap a pic or two before digging in (if you can resist the temptation!)"

"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.

"Planta is more on the upscale side of what the vegan Miami scene offers, making it the ideal location for a date night or a girls’ night out. You’ll definitely want to whip out your camera here, plus a desire for trying something out of the ordinary. The cuisine, a creative rendition of maki rolls — think watermelon tuna nigiri and spicy tuna rolls, torched avo sushi, as well as heart of palm California rolls."

"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."

"I loved the service and the food wasn't bad, the place inside was cute. They were having a brunch that was bottomless mimosas or margaritas for $25."

"There might be warm celery root paired with crackling maitake or house-made pasta dotted with asparagus and guanciale in its current rotation. Guests can order à la carte or let Ford decide what they’re going to eat, thanks to the option of a five- or eight-course tasting menu. Weekend brunch is just as popular, flaunting a three-course prix-fixe menu: expect chai waffles with whipped espresso cream, strawberry doughnuts and warm sticky buns swirled with brown butter."

"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."

"Divey Lost Weekend has generous pours and attentive bartenders who make sure your cup stays full. While you sip, look up to see if you can spot the upside down astronaut and the model plane hanging overhead. If you’re looking for drunchies, head to the back, where you can find The Alibi, the little-known kitchen."

"Vista restaurant is positioned within the Upper Buena Vista outdoor mall. The tranquil open air restaurant with covered outdoor seating sits at the center of UBV and offers guests a sanctuary to dine, drink, and relax within in the midst Miami's temperamental summer weather. Vista's mixologists put a Floridian spin on classic cocktails, using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients — ideal for the cocktail connoisseurs of Miami."

"Sip and dine under hanging greenery on the Vista rooftop terrace. Located just north of Wynwood, at Vista you’ll find a blend of Italian-American menu items like pizza, paninis, pastas, and a selection of fresh meats and fish. Cocktails range from fruit to savory."

"Restaurants Italian Buena Vista. The bilevel restaurant gives it all away with its name: Vista. It’s as much a looker as it is a place to sit back and enjoy the views."

"Continue south on Collins Avenue and enjoy the views of Miami Beach, eventually reaching iconic South Beach. Park and head to the sand to enjoy a few hours on the beach. If that doesn’t sound like the right fit, enjoy a walk along iconic Lincoln Road for shopping, eating, drinking and people watching."

"If you’re feeling ambitious on your townie cruiser, you can ride north to Bal Harbour or Haulover beaches; natives know these as water-sports havens—and for Bal Harbour’s luxury shopping. Otherwise, drop off your bike along Ocean Drive and grab a spot on the beach, Lummus Beach, which runs from around 6th to 14th streets. This is a beach for locals and tourists alike, and the spread of humanity—supermodels, families and even topless tanners—make this a go-to spot for people-watching."

"Restaurants Brazilian Shenandoah / Silver Bluff. Get sugared up at this kitschy shop and coffee bar serving 20-plus flavors of Brazilian brigadeiros: truffle-like balls made from condensed milk, butter and chocolate and covered in chocolate sprinkles. While these treats are the focus, the coffee shouldn’t be missed—plus it subs in as dessert."

"A Michelin-starred concept from New York City, Sushi Azabu offers sushi in several different areas, but sushi lovers should check out "The Den," a hidden sushi counter behind the kitchen. The 11-seat bar, which requires reservations, offers omakase-style dining with seafood flown in from Japan. If you prefer to dine at home, Azabu has launched Bubusan, a delivery-only offshoot that delivers omakase boxes of sushi (including a vegan offering) in exquisite packaging."

"Next up is Flamingo Lummus's SuViche South Beach, situated at 1119 16th St. With 4.5 stars out of 396 reviews on Yelp, the sushi bar, Peruvian and Japanese spot has proven to be a local favorite. According to SuViche's website, the restaurant strives to create a new type of cuisine, one that blends the ingredients, traditions and originality of Peruvian and Japanese.
