The 30 Best Restaurants in Miami Beach, FL
"Nestled between the motels along Biscayne Blvd., you’ll find Blue Collar serving comfort food with a twist. Whether you’re in the mood for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, your tastebuds will be singing by the end of any meal here. Make sure not to leave without trying their chocolate cake (trust me)."
"Serving up generous portions of gourmet American comfort food, this neighbourhood joint has a canteen-like feel, but the devastatingly delicious menu options and excellent craft beer selection more than make up for it."
"After a hard night of clubbing or bar-hopping, nothing's better than a hefty sandwich from this walk-up counter right off Collins Avenue. Crusty French bread is piled high with your choice of meats (from turkey and prosciutto to pate and smoked salmon), cheeses (fresh mozzarella, swiss, brie) and condiments (never skip the cornichons). If you need a veggie fix, opt for a salad, like the French Riviera (lettuce, tomatos, green and hot peppers, black olives, onions, cucumbers, cornichons, carrots, and egg); all are generous, fresh and tasty."
"This classic sandwich counter in South Beach is open virtually around the clock and functions both as an unrivalled hangover helper and a quick, filling meal before a day at the beach. It serves made-to-order sandwiches stuffed with lettuce, tomato, green peppers, black olives, onions, cucumbers and cornichons on a baguette or croissant with your choice of protein, as well as salads and smoothies. Portions are large enough to share."
"La Sandwicherie features daily fresh ingredients, crisp baguettes or soft croissants and the added magic of the infamous vinaigrette that make for a true taste sensation. They’re also open every day from 7am to 5am so whether you’re wanting a lunch or you’re needing an after-bar snack La Sandwicherie has you covered!"
"There’s always something on at this quirky Wynwood hipster tiki bar, which has its Brooklyn-style pizzeria tucked away inside plus plenty of local beer on tap. Live music, stand-up comedy, DJ sets, bingo nights, and the occasional bout of alligator wrestling make one thing clear — Gramps knows how to party."
"From the outside, Gramps is an unassuming bar promising only air conditioning, cold beer, and cocktails. But Gramps delivers much more than it promises. The ever-evolving bar has weekly programming of live concerts, trivia, bingo, and drag shows."
"We certainly wouldn’t be mad if Miami got itself a few more solid dim sum options - but until that day comes, you can find us at Tropical Chinese pointing to random plates being pushed through the dining room on carts the size of baby elephants. This Bird Road favorite is where you’ll find Miami’s best dim sum and a roast pork bun we occasionally dream about. Dim sum is served seven days a week until 3:30pm."
"This is a true fine-dining establishment with floor-to-ceiling windows, dim lighting and a well-dressed clientele out to spend some money. Chef/owner Peter Vauthy prides himself on his Aged Certified Angus beef, as well as his Grade A5 Miyazaki Kobe beef. Other highlights include the handmade burrata and heirloom tomato salad, a superb Colorado rack of lamb, and a fine dirty truffle martini for that matter."
"Posh steakhouses are nearly as ubiquitous as barre classes and blowout bars among Washington Avenue’s Art Deco jungle, but Red surpasses the competition. Ranked the country’s sexiest steakhouse by Playboy, the chic space serves prime cuts (including aged Angus filet, a late-night favorite of one Justin Bieber) as well as raw bar selections like Florida King crab legs and poke bowls with sushi-grade tuna."
"Melinda's is a casual restaurant and cocktail lounge situated in Miami's Omni District. Nestled in a beautiful Wynwood courtyard surrounded by foliage and an orchid garden, Melinda's is a lovely spot to enjoy an afternoon or evening with friends. The food menu features a selection of dishes, including wood fire oven specialties (the pizzas look scrumptious!) and a raw bar."
"Melinda’s courtyard orchid garden is certainly one of the most romantic spots in Miami. Featuring wood fire oven specialties, delicious tacos, and signature cocktails served in the cocktail lounge, Melinda’s is a casual eatery ideal for a romantic yet relaxed Valentine’s day."
"Harry’s Pizzeria is getting in on the pop-up game, and its new virtual Korean restaurant is one worth trying. Seoul Kitchen keeps it simple with a basic menu of roasted chicken, veggie sides and several bowls that bring both sides of the menu together. It’s all great but the fried chicken sandwich is the real star."
"What started as a nondescript takeout shop nestled against the SoBe Hostel has since morphed into a six-location cevicheria known for its impeccable, inexpensive ceviche. Whole fish is brought straight from the Atlantic, prepped in-house and then “cooked” in lime juice. The result is some of the best ceviche in town, for a fraction of what it would cost at sit-down restaurants."
"Choose from a selection of fresh fish, then add coconut jasmine rice or cilantro quinoa and a handful of sauces like aji amarillo, rocoto or tradicional (a mix of lime juice and avocado). It’s the biggest, tastiest (and most affordable) bowl of fresh fish you’ll ever eat. Multiple locations; myceviche.com"
"They serve it in a variety of ways: tacos, burritos, ceviche, and salads. You can also get chicken here. They have multiple locations."
"Restaurants Vegetarian West Coconut Grove. Our only gripe with this Coconut Grove health food institution is its early closing time; the place caters to locals and the area’s nine-to-fivers. Still, it’s worth ditching work for a fresh green salad (lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, sprouts, cucumber) topped with house-made chicken salad."
"Vegetarian , Vegan"
"You might miss this cute breakfast spot in Miami if you’re just driving through Coconut Grove, but it’s definitely worth a visit. The Peacock Garden Bistro has a vacation vibe with its light, airy color scheme and Old Florida charm. On a beautiful breezy day, request outdoor dining – the patio is surrounded by a lush tropical garden underneath a shady canopy so you can enjoy a wonderful, relaxing brunch in Miami."
"This classic Coconut Grove bistro has been given a facelift with new seating and an even more lush patio feel. Dine under the stars among beautiful greenery accented with globe lights with a menu that's decidedly more affordable than most romantic dining rooms. The menu offers simple bistro fare that's easily shareable."
"The interior is warm and welcoming with soft pastels, white tables, and art. The exterior is lovely with lush greenery, fun floral patterns, bright table umbrellas, and kitschy décor. Enjoy brunch, a lunch salad, or a happy hour margarita, and don’t miss the live jazz in the garden every weekend."
"Miami Mountain is a real landmark within the city and the perfect spot for a photo. Commissioned by The Bass Museum and created by Ugo Rondinone, the artist behind Nevada’s Seven Magic Mountains, this 42-foot tall neon sculpture has been coined the Eighth Magic Mountain. By positioning this fluorescent sculpture within Collins Park, Rondinone sought to add a neon rainbow color palette to the area — something that stood out amongst the existing whites and greens."
"In a wooded section at the north end of the Virginia Key Beach North Point Park, you'll find a series of short mountain bike trails, color-coded for beginner, intermediate and advanced. It's free to use the trails, though if your hotel doesn’t have free bicycle hire, you may have to stump up for that.

"An entirely outdoor restaurant nestled amidst the nature of Coconut Grove's Peacock Park, Glass & Vine is the perfect place to relax and unwind. Serving a range of contemporary American dishes across brunch, lunch and dinner (each dish prepared using locally-sourced ingredients), there's something to suit every taste at this patio in the park. Described as an 'intimate secret garden by the sea,' Glass & Vine evokes an enchanted forest vibe by night, with its sparkling fairy lights and swirling tree branches — ideal for romantic dates and evenings with friends alike."
"If a picnic in the park sounds sweet, a night out at Glass and Vine could be the next best thing. Adjacent to Coconut Grove’s Peacock Park, the open-air eatery serves a selection of snacks and entrees ranging from watermelon salad to glazed pork belly. Notable cocktails include the Maduro mai tai, Bay View Spritz, and two variations of frosé."

"The American alligator is one of Florida’s most iconic symbols, and the state’s swamps, rivers, and lakes are full of these impressive creatures that can grow to over 15 feet and weight more than 1,000 pounds. Located on SW 192nd Avenue in nearby Florida City, Everglades Alligator Farm gives guests a fascinating, up-close look into the lives of these toothy reptiles. The farm is home to thousands of gators, and though it’s not the cheapest attraction you’ll visit on your trip, it’s well worth it, especially for those traveling with kids who are into animals."
"Feel the thrill of the Everglades with an airboat ride and animal shows in South Florida's oldest gator farm. A Great Gator Adventure"
"The Everglades Outpost houses, feeds and cares for wild animals that have been seized from illegal traders, abused, neglected or donated by people who could not care for them. Residents of the outpost include a..."
