KYU
251 NW 25th Street, Miami, FL 33127
Asian meets barbecue at this hip Wynwood restaurant. On the menu, you’ll find things like Korean fried chicken, Japanese sweet potato, and grilled octopus. Unique dishes and classic favorites are sure to please the most eccentric and pickiest of eaters. Oh, and be sure to save room for dessert: their dark chocolate smores cake is heavenly.
Mandolin Aegean Bistro
4312 NE 2nd Avenue, Miami, FL 33137
Inspired by the tavernas that speckle the coast of the Aegean sea, Mandolin is owned by a husband and wife duo who started serving up Greek and Turkish dishes in Miami in 2009. Housed in a restored 1940s bungalow in the Design District, the restaurant features indoor/outdoor seating (perfect for enjoying Miami’s great year-round weather), a bakery and market, and an edible garden where seasonal ingredients are harvested. Check out popular dishes such as king salmon kebabs, stuffed tomatoes, and moussaka.
CRUST
668 NW 5th Street, Miami, FL 33128
Who doesn’t love a good pizza? CRUST is one of the best restaurants in Miami that serves up a favorite with gourmet toppings. Take a bite of the Truffled Pizza topped with arugula, parmesan cheese, and truffle oil, or order a slice of Mediterranean, which features fire-roasted peppers, eggplant, kalamata olives, and feta cheese. CRUST was voted the #1 Miami restaurant from 2015 through 2018, so we’re not the only ones who think it’s the best in town.
Sanguich de Miami
2057 SW 8th Street, Little Havana, FL 33135
Home to the best Cubano in Miami, Sanguich de Miami is a small 25-seat diner along Calle Ocho. The little restaurant makes most of its ingredients in-house, and its sandwich bread is custom-made by a bakery in Homestead. The menu is small, but everything on it will have you asking for seconds. You can’t go wrong with the Cuban sandwich, but the pan con bistec with plantain fries is another popular option. Wash it all down with a batido — a cross between a milkshake and a smoothie.
La Fontana Steakhouse
4285 NW 107th Avenue Doral, Miami, FL 33178
Intrigue your taste buds with a cut of meat aged in La Fontana’s state-of-the-art, custom-made Italian dry-aging facilities. Large portions, exclusive flavors, impeccable presentations, and a one-of-a-kind dining experience await. Settle down in the large, plush booths as jazz classics play in the background. Browse the lengthy wine menu, or start out with classic Italian favorites, like made-to-order pasta or bruschetta.
Eating House
804 Ponce de Leon Boulevard, Coral Gables, FL 33134
The restaurant’s motto, “If cooking is an art, we’re making graffiti,” makes sense after you take a peek at the menu. Creative dishes summon all types of taste buds. Indulge in the pasta carbonara and save room for the “dirt cup” dessert. And if you happen to stop by during weekend brunch, the Cap’N Crunch pancakes, made with candied cereal, are a must-try.
Ghee Indian Kitchen
3620 NE 2nd Avenue, Miami, FL 33137
Putting seasonal and contemporary spins on traditional Indian fares, Ghee has been called the best modern Indian restaurant in America. Sample charred ribs with mango and draggery glaze or pork belly vindaloo with shallot, habanero, and peanuts. The lunch option changes daily depending on what’s harvested from the farm, so you can always try something new and fresh.
Bachour
2020 Salzedo Street, Miami, FL 33134
Miami’s undisputed king of pastry, Antonio Bachour, serves up some of Miami’s most stunningly sweet creations. But Bachour serves more than just sweets. Come by this Coral Gables neighborhood spot for breakfast and try the guava and cheese pancakes or the croissant french toast. For dinner, try the garlic prawns, wagyu sliders, or gourmet salads.
