The Best Food in Miami: 21 Must-Eat Dishes to Add to Your List
"Brought to you by the same owners as The Foxy Brown, the illustrious and breezy Coconuts Waterfront restaurant is South Florida at its best. Conveniently located on the Intracoastal waterway, you can easily float your way to Sunday brunch and dock your boat here. Coconuts prides itself on their philosophy to “be nice”, which is exuded in their exceptional and sincere service, coupled with quality food and an unbeatable view."
"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."
"Chill by the water and enjoy fresh seafood while watching the yachts sail by. Photo from Coconuts via Facebook. For a stunning meal by the water, Coconuts offers the best views of Fort Lauderdale’s intercoastal waterways."
"Located in Kimpton's Epic Hotel, this restaurant's setting affords skyline views of both Miami (to the north and west) and Biscayne Bay (to the east and south) that guests find truly breathtaking--that is, if they aren't too focused on the incredible cuisine. Executive Chef Wolfgang Birk gleans most of his seafare--items such as jumbo lump crab salad with spicy seared watermelon, heirloom tomato, avocado, mint and basil or yellowfin tuna with mixed grains, smoked black beans, shrimp guacamole and ginger juice--either locally or from the region of the ocean for which the restaurant is named, Area 31, one of the only self-sustaining spots that is said to be left in the ocean. Meat and pasta dishes are just as delicious and contain sustainable items from nearby farms and other trusted sources."
"Located on the top floor of the EPIC Hotel, trendy Area 31 has the reputation of the best view in town as well as exceptionally good food and cocktails. Sunset over the Biscayne Bay and the city skyline from the restaurant’s poolside terrace is absolutely breathtaking, but Executive Chef Wolfgang Birk manages to draw the attention of his guests with his frequently changing menu that is based on sustainable ingredients and focuses on local seafood with a Spanish twist. The menu is extensive but the chef’s fresh ceviche, crudos and tartares are legendary."

"More of a Balinese garden than a bar, Sugar takes rooftop aesthetics to a whole new level. With 40th-floor views (from the EAST, Miami hotel), soothing decor, and dangerously strong lychee martinis, and tasty tapas, making an evening at Sugar is an exotic departure from the Miami norm.

"This bar and eatery located 50 floors high inside the East Hotel features breathtaking views of Brickell and Downtown Miami along with plenty of see and be scene vibes."
"Join us at SKY Bar on the 5th Floor Pool Terrace for a robust selection of delicious dishes, from appetizers and salads to sandwiches and burgers, and of course, drinks!"
"In the heart of the Design District is KAIDO, a twist on a Japanese restaurant that shines for its plating. For food that's both beautiful and delicious, this is a great spot, sinc. Environment: prod-sc Request ID: 609bce20-26bb-4c3e-a5f3-66d1ae0e7df0 Machine Name: cdfdb214dcca"
"This 21+ nightclub in Miami is truly an experience that you will not forget. Bouncing off its name, The Dirty Rabbit Wynwood is one of Miami’s best clubs for an adult night out. Quite contrary to the clubs in Miami, Latin music will drown your senses at this club."
"Art lovers won’t want to skip a visit to the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) in Miami. This free museum is located in the Miami Design District and is focused on fostering the exchange of art and ideas through the Miami region and beyond. With exhibitions from local, emerging, and under-recognized artists, this is the place to visit if you want to support the arts."
"An excellent contemporary arts museum, the ICA sits in the midst of the Design District, and hosts a fantastic range of contemporary exhibitions alongside its permanent collection pieces. The building, designed..."
"‘Instagram walls’ have become extremely popular on the ‘gram in recent years, so if you’re looking for some colorful wall content to keep you going for the next few months, Wynwood is the place to go. Situated in Miami’s Art District — renowned for its murals — Wynwood Walls is an outdoor museum showcasing graffiti and street art from some of the world’s most talented artists. From cartoon artwork to multi-colored murals, it’s definitely one of the most Instagrammable places in Miami!"
"One of the most photographed locations in Miami, Wynwood Walls is a collection of murals and paintings laid out over an open courtyard. Artist-led tours are available, but it’s free to simply explore on your own. What invariably bowls people over is the sheer exuberant colors and commanding presence of the murals, which only tend to be around for less than a year before they are painted over."
"Teach kiddos about contemporary art and get outside at the same time by perusing the city’s colorful and creative murals."

"The Miami Beach Botanical Gardens was originally a municipal park that opened in the early ’60s; it wasn’t until decades later when the area was redesigned and rejuvenated that it became the fantastic attraction that it is now. Designed by one of the state’s most renowned landscape architects, the gardens are an urban oasis filled with fountains, art, and an amazingly diverse array of plants, trees, and flowers, most of which are species native to Florida. The grounds include a Japanese garden, warden gardens, plenty of shaded seating areas, and well-marked pathways that lead to each distinct area."
