Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in South Miami

"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."

"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."

"Buena VistaThe story behind this candlelit outdoor spot in a 1940s bungalow is almost as charming as its setting. A Greek/Turkish couple who overcame historic differences recognized their lifelong dream of combining their culinary cultures, and opened the place in 2009. Since then, it’s seen thousands of first dates (and, we assume, even more third dates) and offers up a menu of grilled meats and savory spreads that would be phenomenal even if you weren’t dining under the stars.How to book: Reserve via Resy or order take-out online."

"Romantic, friendly, and charming, Mandolin is housed in a vintage Miami cottage and spills out onto a back patio filled with greenery and twinkle lights. The result is the feeling you've entered the home of a charming host somewhere in the Mediterranean. The food is simple and real, with many herbs and vegetables grown on the premises."

"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."

"Planta is one of my favourite restaurants in Toronto and so you better believe the South Beach location (the original) had to make the list. Beyond being incredibly instagrammable Planta has incredible food that Vegans and non Vegans alike will love. Planta was opened with the purpose of creating delicious food that promotes environmental sustainability."

"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"

"Tucked away in South Beach’s South of Fifth neighborhood, this spot is worth visiting. Top Chef winner Jeremy Ford’s restaurant offers indulgent multi-course tasting menus centered on New American cuisine. Every meal ends with crowd-pleasing snickerdoodles, served warm and oozing with a rich chocolate filling."

"While grabbing a table at Stubborn Seed is usually hard to do, now that it offers takeout, guests can try out the cuisine anytime they’d like. Opt for the warm celery root, crunchy truffle potatoes, and the wagyu filet. And don’t miss the gooey snickerdoodle cookies for dessert."

"It’s actually Top Chef winner Jeremy Ford’s South Beach restaurant. While his savory food is delicious, what we really can’t get enough of is pastry chef Dallas Wynne’s snickerdoodles. They’re served warm and oozing with a rich chocolate filling."

"Located in the heart of Downtown Miami, this Italian gem is popular with those who do business at the main courthouse as well as those who have business there. La Loggia draws favor for its terrific, home-style pasta dishes and its oft-packed happy hour (one of the only ones on Flagler Street). The beautiful waitstaff darts to and fro, making sure that each table is enjoying its hearty Northern Italian fare."

"La Loggia is a classic Italian restaurant located in the heart of downtown Miami. Its location across the street from the courthouse makes it a popular spot for lunch, dinner or an after-work drink. I heartily recommend the lobster ravioli!"

"Known for the spirit, freshness, and French flare they put into every dish, L'Edito French Restaurant is the place to go for a full-on French meal. Start your night with a glass of wine then move onto an appetizer. Favorites include the French onion soup, escargot in flaky puff pastry, and pan-seared foie gras."

"But they won't give you a glass of water if you ask you have yo pay for the water!. And the prices are very high for the food they…”more"

"The gist: You know those charming, fresh seafood spots on the water people brag about going to on summer vacations in Greece?. Replace the Aegean with Coral Way and this pretty much captures the essence.The food: Miami might not be lacking for Mediterranean seafood spots, but it is lacking for Mediterranean seafood spots that don’t make you feel like a yutz if you can’t shell out $60 for a FedExed branzino. That’s where this unassuming little spot on Coral Way comes in, where simple, cozy tables provide a laid-back atmosphere for enjoying fresh snapper, tempura crab, and wild salmon with spinach and tzatziki sauce."

"Miami's Latin-American influences are not limited to Cuba: from Uruguay comes El Rey del Chivito, where the speciality is the chivito (little goat) sandwich. Actually, there's no goat in this mammoth sandwich, but there is just about everything else you could imagine: grilled steak, bacon, ham, cheese, a fried egg, onions, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, all piled onto a lightly toasted bun. It's like breakfast, lunch and dinner all at once, plus a side of fries, all for under $10."

"GREAT BREAKFAST PLACE WITH THAT SIGNIFICANT OTHER, THEY DESERVED A GREAT BREAKFAST FOR TREATING YOU SO SPECIAL. LEAVE A NICE TIP WITH YOUR COFFEE TO GO!!"

"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. This is the growing local chains fifth Florida location."

"We are from out if town and we wish we had more time to come back again. Our server was very..."

"Restaurants Chinese Wynwood. Commanding its own lively corner on the outer edges of a tightly packed Wynwood, this petite, dimly lit parcel serves up Chinese classics alongside a respectable wine list and just the right amount of scene. Its pink facade, hanging wicker lamps and elbow room only dining room make for a fun stop off before a night out, but Palmar’s blue crab fried rice topped with bean sprouts and a sticky 63-degree egg is reason enough to put in a reservation and brave the Wynwood crowds."

"Bless Palmar for continuing to offer Miami’s best Chinese-Latin cuisine throughout the crisis. Available for pickup via Toast Tab and delivery through Uber Eats, Postmates and GrubHub, indulge in the restaurant’s latest promotion, #PalmarEnCasa, which means you’ll enjoy the same great flavors of the Wynwood restaurant straight from your own home. We’ll take orders of the shiitake edamame dumplings, blue crab fried rice and pork belly bao buns."

"The restaurant takes traditional Chinese cuisine and turns it into something that locals and critics have fallen in love with. Some even say it’s the best Chinese restaurant in Miami. For starters, their dim sum is bursting with flavor, along with other colorful dishes."

"My mother and I wanted some brunch so we decided to try Edukos yesterday. The food was fabulous and so was the service."

"Seafood is another thing you will find at many Miami restaurants, but it doesn’t have to be expensive. My Ceviche is our favorite hidden gem we found on our last trip. This counter service eatery offers ceviche and poke bowl for just $10!"
