Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in North Miami

"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."

"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."

"Many city-affiiliated art museums in the United States tend to exhibit work from throughout history. There's an old master here, a Rothko there, maybe some impressionists in this room and a Picasso in that one. PAMM, however, specializes in contemporary art, and in a city as trendy as Miami, displaying the art of today might be more appropriate than stuffing a roomful of Renaissance baubles and calling it a day."

"Taking a stroll into the elaborate gardens will take you to Versailles. Inspired by Venetian architecture, the Vizcaya Museum showcases intricate Renaissance tapestries, Roman sculptures, Chinese object d’art, Rocco furniture, and early 20th century paintings. James Deering estate was built as a private waterfront for the millionaire in 1914."

"Constructed in 1916 for industrialist James Deering, this Italianate palace is often referred to as the Hearst Castle of the East. Intended to appear centuries-old at completion, it is absolutely rife with architectural detail and elaborate accents. In fact, more than a thousand artisans took five-plus years to complete the ornate flourishes."

"When we want pasta, we go to Macchialina - and not only on Thursdays for their $10 pasta night. This place makes great cavatelli, tagliolini, and lasagna, all of which are good enough to pay full price for and which plenty of people do since you pretty much always need a reservation to eat here. It’s hip, but still a relatively cozy spot, which makes it perfect for date night and a very refreshing option in the world of South Beach restaurants, where things are rarely cozy and you just won’t find pasta this good."

"Business and life partners Jen Chaefsky and former Scarpetta chef de cuisine Michael Pirolo consistently offer some of Miami's best and most satisfying food. Every dish is wonderful, especially Pirolo's house-made pastas and creamy polenta loaded with sausage ragu. There's always something new to try in the daily special list and Macchialina offers an affordable five-course tasting menu daily."

"Italian food can get very expensive to eat in Miami Beach, but Macchialina’s is one place to get your pasta fix for less than $30 per person. They have staples like Lasagna, Caccio e Pepe and Spaghetti, that are of course handmade pasta. However, you can even get Branzino and Veal here if you are cutting down on carbs."

"Wakefield consistently serves up some of the best craft brews in the area, direct from its Star Wars-themed brewery and tap room in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood. El Jefe, a German Hefeweizen brewed with coconut flakes, is a long-time favorite here, but the special releases are gems to keep an eye out for."

"If you’ve ever heard of “that Star Wars bar in Miami,” J. Wakefield Brewing is the place. Named for its owner, this Wynwood haunt was started by self-made brewmaster, John Wakefield, and debuted in 2015. Since then, it has become one of Miami’s most popular breweries, both for its beer and décor."

"Review: Fast and friendly service, great sours, quirky and cool. Also located in Wynwood, J. Wakefield is an independently owned brewery and taproom established in 2015. They take pride in making beers outside the norm, like a coconut-infused Hefeweizen."

"Baiocco Osteria del Mare welcomes you with the passion of the host Claudio Giordano, a great restaurateur with a big knowledge of fish cuisine and over 30 years of experience in Miami. Claudio creates his dishes with sustainable wild fish, locally caught, respecting the environment and the authentic Italian cuisine. David Ranucci and his family, for over a century, have been working in the restaurant business, ensuring good food, tradition, hospitality;the perfect mix to make people feel at ease."

"Osteria Baiocco, part of the Milan-based Ranucci family of restaurants, opened in 2018 to immediate acclaim from critics and patrons alike. Its menu features bold and flavorful pre..."

"Even if you've never stayed there, you know the Clevelander. It's where the Jersey Shore crew partied at poolside, and where ESPN set up shop for its pre-Super Bowl LIV coverage. The Ocean Drive hot spot continues to bring the party amid the pandemic, and its “Famous Frozens” haven’t gone anywhere."

"If you want your burgers and beer served with a side of revelry, the Clevelander is your spot. There's no other place where you can splash in a pool, hang out with body-painted women, and drink $5 Jack Daniel's shots chased by $5 bottles of beer (during football games). Oh, yeah — football."

"For breakfast or lunch (or dinner until 9 pm, November–April), this roadside cafeteria a quarter mile from the Miccosukee Indian Village provides...Read More"

"I had the French toast and fried chicken and it truly will feed 2 people. I took a star away because the &..."

"serves delectable mini-platters with generous portions of shwarma, shashlik, hummus and eggplant. The restaurant is nothing fancy, with meals being served on plastic plates with plastic cutlery, but the food speaks for itself. Everything is made fresh and they use a local Israeli bakery for their pitas, and their Hebrew-speaking staff add an authentic feel to the venue."

"Very good shawarma this is an easy place to miss because it is in a residential area and has a small door to the public. But it is a hidden gem!"

"Saint Francis de sales Catholic Church is a small white church located 3 miles away from Miami beach towards its North End. Built in 1940, Saint Francis de sales Catholic Church is made with mission chapel and serves the Parish community in the region. Structured beautifully with Parish architecture, the church welcomes every visitor for a spiritual tour."

"I actually found this parish when I google searched on Miami Perpetual Adoration. It came up as the closest parish to Coconut Grove. The masses are mostly… read more »"
