Where to eat in South Beach
"Coconuts is located on the intercoastal waterways of the city, with indoor and outdoor seating where the views are only matched by the scrumptious food. And the location even offers boat docks for those who choose to get to there via water. Start your meal off with a cocktail like the Save the Whales, which combines Gray Whale gin, muddled cucumber, mint, and tonic water for a refreshing pre-dinner drink."
"Coconuts has been dialing up the flavor on some seafood favorites for anyone who comes through the front door. Not only is it a local favorite for mouthwatering dishes such as the generously seasoned conch fritters and tasty Mahi tacos, but it has also been named the best restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, according to New York Times reader’s choice awards. Don’t take their word for it, though."
"We were placed on a wait during busy dinner service so we decided to sit at the outside…”more. Indoor & Outdoor dining"
"Restaurants Seafood Downtown. Area 31’s 16th-floor lounge may not technically be on the roof, but its view of Downtown is hard to beat. A photo op here is one you'll be tempted to caption with “I live where you vacation,” but don't be that guy."
"Perched 16 floors high inside the EPIC Hotel in Downtown Miami, this longtime restaurant still has some of the best views of Miami's Downtown skyline in the city. Whether going for its popular happy hour or for a seafood feast, grab a seat on its outdoor patio and soak up the views."

"Bars Cocktail bars Brickell. This Brickell hotspot can have a line out the door on weekend nights and Friday happy hour. Brave that line and you’ll be rewarded with 360-views of the city (40 floors up!), pricey (but tasty) cocktails and a swank crowd."
"Do these tangy, spicy wings taste nearly as good without a complete panoramic view of Miami from the 40th floor?. Find out as Sugar offers this plus the rest of its menu for delivery. Cool off from all the spice with the Audi and Ramsa ice creams, which are made with various types of alcohol."
"A post shared by Vittorio Di Natale (@vittorio_di_natale) on Mar 21, 2019 at 10:55am PDT. This trendy 40th-floor rooftop spot always pulls in a fun and energetic crowd. With views this good, you’ll find a whole new level of appreciation for the Miami skyline."
"Good drinks, good bar food, and good vibes can all be found at South Pointe Tavern, a fun neighborhood hangout in SoFi. South Pointe Tavern is straight out of Cheers: Expect to run into familiar faces every time. By your second visit, you’ll likely be on a first-name basis with everyone."
"Miami has not been immune to the "new Asian fusion" trend, and one of the city's best exponents is Sakaya Kitchen. The combination of bold flavours, local, organic ingredients and in-house preparations is a winning formula, while fast-food style counter service and minimalist decor help keep prices low. Don't miss the banh mi buns with kurobuta pork belly, pâté, house-made mayo and pickles; the chunk'd cheesy tater tots topped with chopped kalbi beef and spicy gochujang sauce; or the honey and orange glazed baby back ribs, served with gingered Brussels sprouts and jasmine rice."
"Since coming onto the scene in 2014, Blackbrick, aka Midtown Chinese, has racked up accolades from local and national publications for its modern take on regional Chinese cuisine. Chef Richard Hales offers a menu nearly as expansive as China itself. Dim sum options include delicate crystal shrimp dumplings, chicken siu mei, cumin-lamb dumplings and barbecued pork buns."
"MidtownWhat you're getting: "K’Dunk"Though most Miamians are as allergic to the words “get there early” as Rick Ross is allergic to broke, that’s about the only way to get one of these fresh-baked babies filled with chocolate, white chocolate, and peanut butter-filled pretzels. The secret’s out and if you go in after the lunch rush there’s no guarantee you’ll get one."
"This might be one of the best Mexican restaurants in Miami, and that’s saying a lot considering we’ve got some fire tacos in these parts. They’ve got it all: tacos al pastor, quesadillas, enchiladas. Most importantly, their guac game is ON POINT. If you’re feelin’ particularly famished, there’s always the burrito grande, a grilled burrito stuffed with chicken or steak, rice, refried beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, crema Mexicana, and of course, that guacamole."
"Mary Brickell Village, 900 S Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33130, USA. The super-trendy Mary Brickell Village is home to a variety of bars, restaurants, boutiques, and night clubs. Fado Irish Pub is one of its residents."
"Martha Stewart stamps this as "the most beautiful spa in America," so if you're gonna book a treatment at Lapis Spa, then you might as well go big and reserve the Bleau private spa suite. There are two treatment beds, a jetted tub and a private bathroom and shower that accompany your oceanside view. Oh, and once you're done with your Aroma Detox therapy, you can bequest a personal bath butler to cater to your bubbling needs."
"Lapis Spa at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Photo: Courtesy Fontainebleau Miami Beach. As one of Miami Beach’s most extensive facilities, Lapis Spa at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach is where you go to while away the day. There are 30 treatment rooms, including two oceanfront couple’s massage suites (with a shower and soaking tub for two) and two spa suites (each with a Vichy shower, tub, shower, and relaxation area)."

"This historic Surf Club on the Miami Beach has been renovated owing to the Four Seasons. The original Mediterranean Revival clubhouse has been restored and an additional 12-storey glass tower has been built. All these have made this luxury resort bring a little bit of the Old Florida charm back to Surfside."
"The Standard Spa, Miami Beach Photo: Courtesy The Standard Spa/Nathan Sayers. The Standard Spa at the always buzzy The Standard Miami Beach is like Goldilocks—it’s ultra-cool and stylish, but set far enough away from the hectic heart of SoBe to ensure it is still a relaxing oasis. In other words, it’s just right."
"Stroll through the lobby and to the back, outdoor pool of the Shore Club, or the historic Bleau Bar at The Fontainebleau, where you can get the same, ever-cool SoBe experience that Sinatra and Elvis had back in the 1950s and ’60s. Day 2: In Pursuit of Exotic Flavor"
"Quarterdeck Seafood Bar is a bar and restaurant on Las Olas Boulevard that matches its beachside location with the oceanic theme of the restaurant. The planks of wood that form the ceiling, the aquarium in the middle of the restaurant, and the various ocean-themed decor strewn about the walls make customers feel like they’re stepping on board a ship."
"Quarterdeck's Las Olas location sits on the corner of A1A South and Las Olas Boulevard, across the street from Crazy"
"I haven’t enjoy myself with Traditional middle eastern food in a long time because is very difficult to find the spot in Miami that delivers 100%."
"Nestled in the heart of Fort Lauderdale’s yachting district, Fresh First puts a modern healthy spin on yummy grub. The breakfast and lunch menu boasts 100% gluten-free food. Options such as veggie tofu scrambled with mushrooms, red peppers, spinach and onions with flax bread and the lentil burger are vegan favorites."

"Otentic is a popular French restaurant located in the centre of South Beach. This restaurant has the feel of a romantic Parisian cafe, yet it’s situated in an Art Deco building in Miami. The dishes served here are prepared daily and inspired by Parisian cuisine."
