Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Haulover Beach

"The Florida coast shines at Stiltsville Fish Bar, home to locally sourced fish, in Bayshore. It helps that the restaurant is stationed in a prime location on the Intracoastal Waterway, so you can dine by the water as you feast on food pulled out of the water. You’ll want to share some local blue crab cakes, paired with pickled kohlrabi and slaw, along with an order of sweet corn spoon bread, plated in a mini cast-iron dish and swiped with buttermilk cream."

"This nautical spot by Top Chef vets Jeff McInnis and Janine Booth is one of our favorite outdoor dining spots in Miami—and for good reason. Catch us on the patio, indulging in the crispy whole yellowtail snapper, lemon-dusted fried chicken and chilled watermelon and pickles all while staring at the sunset. 1787 Purdy Ave., Miami Beach; 786-353-0477 or stiltsvillefishbar.com"

"Out on a dock beneath the shade of beach-blue umbrellas and right next door to the Swimming Hall of Fame and the city marina, you can enjoy a continuous parade of the most impressive yachts you’ve ever seen while digging in to some tasty eat-with-your-hands seafood. The menu offers a delicious fresh take on traditional beach-vacation nibbles, including conch fritters, coconut shrimp, and crab cakes, but they also have a daily special called “scoobies,” a bowl of luscious snow crab legs soaking in roasted garlic butter. This is a great place to order some drinks while watching the sunset."

"Relax by the city marina and enjoy finger food fit for small hands and fresh catches from the sea at Coconuts. For the older children and adults, this restaurant features snow crab legs and roasted garlic butter that make you glad you chose to vacation on the beach. Few things are more relaxing than watching the boats go by while watching your children eat happily with their hands."

"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."

"Area 31 is on the 16th floor of the Epic Hotel, which means it boasts spectacular views across Biscayne Bay, Miami River, and the city skyline. The restaurant takes its name from Fishing Area 31, which is from where most of the ingredients are sourced. This area is an ecologically sustainable fishery."

"This one is precisely not on that top because there are only 16 floors, but the hotel’s downtown view is fantastic. Moreover, the view is hard to get anywhere else. Therefore, many young professionals and even business people come here to enjoy their happy hours."

"Key BiscayneNo restaurant in Miami has seen more weddings, bar mitzvahs, quinces, and over-aggressive first dates than the venerable Rusty Pelican. Its spectacular view of the Miami skyline is unrivaled and, while it once had a fairly-dated menu a new chef brought the place new life about three years ago, and now it’s actually worth going to for the steaks as much as it is for the glittering downtown view.How to book: Reserve via OpenTable or order take-out and delivery via Uber Eats."

You’ll feel right at home here in the welcoming family environment, where lunch and dinner menus await you in addition to live music and a full bar.

Located in Miami’s downtown, the museum is not one you’ll likely stumble upon while wandering the city—which is a good thing if you prefer quieter spaces ($10/adult).
