Features Restaurant Miami Dining Guide Travel Miami Road Trip: MIABites.com's Guide To Dining Out In Miami ellen bowen December 01, 2021 With Winter upon us, and CT residents itching for some warmth and sun, we asked our sister site MIABites.com for a little dining advice for all those heading to Florida this season. Here are some of MIAbites Contributors Best Bites for "am to pm" dining in and around Miami, Miami Beach, Wynwood and the Design District. Obviously, all of the Miami Beach hotels have top restaurants and prices to match. Jose Andres The Bazaar and Katsuya at the SLS South Beach, Scarpetta, StripSteak and Pizza Burger by Michael Mina and Hakkasan at The Fontainebleau , Mr. Chow at The W South Beach, Pao by Paul Qui and Los Fuegos at Faena and Jean Georges, The Matador Room at the EDITION, the relocated NOBU in the Nobu Hotel Eden Roc, are all popular and top picks where chances are you will have a delicious albeit expensive meal. But if you’d like to dig deeper into the Mimi food scene, check out our guide by category…1. Classic Miami- Popular for consistent and well-prepared dining options and excellent service. These are the "sure-things" in town and priced accordingly.2. Buzzy Hot Spots or Trending- Opened in the last few years or so or are the popular hot spots to check out. Innovative and creative chefs abound. 3. Casual or Quick Bites- Lunch or more casual for dinner but fun places with good food.4. Coffee and Cocktails- Refueling before, during or after the beach or shopping. Or late-night cocktails. Step out and try some new cocktails like Peruvian Pisco, Mezcal and Negronis. Reservations are probably mandatory and may require multiple calls to secure, so be prepared to be flexible with times and days. HINT: Call directly as many restaurants will block out peak times online or have cancellations.CLASSIC MIAMI Design District/Midtown/Wynwood/MiMo:Mandolin-4312 NE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33137 305 576-6066BlackBrick aka Midtown Chinese- 3451 NE 1st Avenue #103 Miami, FL 33137305 573-8886Blue Collar -Biscayne Inn, 6730 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33138 305 756-0366SUGARCANE Raw Bar & Grill – 3252 NE 1st Ave, Miami, FL 33137 786 369 -0353 Miami Beach:Byblos- 1545 Collins Ave. Miami Beach FL 33139 305 508 5041Scarpetta – The Fontainebleau 4441 Collins Ave. Miami Beach, FL 33140 305 674- 4660Hakkasan- The Fontainebleau 4441 Collins Ave. Miami Beach, FL 33140 786 276-1410Cecconis- SoHo Beach House- 4385 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33140Casa Tua- 1700 James Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139 305 673-1010Prime 112 and Prime Italian- 112 and 101 Ocean Dr, Miami Beach, FL 33139 305 532-8112Red South Beach- 801 South Pointe Dr, Miami Beach, FL 33139 305 534-3688Joe's Stone Crab- 11 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139 305 673-0365Juvia- 1111 Lincoln Rd, Miami Beach, FL 33139 305 763-8272Macchialina- 820 Alton Rd, Miami Beach, FL 33139 305 534-2124Milos- 730 1st St. Miami Beach, FL 33139 305 604-6800BUZZY HOT SPOTS OR EMERGING Design District/Midtown/Wynwood/Overtown/Edgewater/MiMo:Boia De- 5205 NE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33137 305-967-8866Coyo Taco- 2300 NW 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33127 305 573-8228 and Brickell location at 999 Brickell Ave. Doya- 347 NW 24th St. Miami, FL 331271-800-Lucky- Asian food hall at 143 NW 23rd St. Miami, FL Hometown BBQ- NEW 1200 NW 22nd St #100, Miami, FL 33142KYU- 251 NW 25th St. Miami, FL 33127 786 577-0150Le Jardinier & L’atelier de Joël Robuchon- Paradise Plaza- 151 NE 41st St, Miami, FL 33137Mr Mandolin - 7301 Biscayne Blvd. Miami, FL 33137Mignonette- 210 NE 18th St, Miami, FL 33132 305 374-4635Plant Miami- 105 NE 24th St. Miami, FL 33137 786 621- 5006Red Rooster -920 NW 2nd Ave. Miami, FL 33136 305 640 9889Swan- 90 NE 39th St. Miami, FL 33137 305 704 -0994MIA Market Miami - 140 NE 39th St Suite #241, Miami, FL 33137 786 542-8977 Miami Beach:Abbale Telavivan- 864 Commerce St. Miami Beach, FL 33139 305 902 3477Blue Ribbon- 336 21st St. Miami Beach, FL 33139Carbone- 49 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 3313927 Restaurant in The Freehand Miami- 2727 Indian Creek Dr, Miami Beach, FL 33140Matador Room by Jeans George - The EDITION 2901 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33140786 257- 4600 Mila- 1636 Meridian Ave. Miami Beach, FL 33139 786 706 0744Pubbelly Sushi- 1424 20th St. Miami Beach, FL 33139 305 531 9282Stiltsville-1787 Purdy Ave. Miami Beach, FL 786 353 0477Stubborn Seed- 101 Washington Ave. Miami Beach, FL 786 322 5211Planta- 850 Commerce St. Miami Beach, FL 305 397 8513 (Vegan)CASUAL OR QUICK BITES Design District/Midtown/Wynwood/Edgewater/MiMoHarry's Pizzeria- 3918 N Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33127 786 275-4963La Sandwicherie- NEW 169 NW 23rd St. Miami, FL 33127 786 409-2390Love Life Cafe/Shido Vegan Sushi Pop up (Vegan)- 2616 NW 5th Ave. Miami, FL 33127 305 456 4148Zak The Baker- 405 NW 26th St, Miami, FL 33127Miami Beach:My Ceviche South Beach- 235 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139 305 397-8710La Sandwicherie- 229 14th St, Miami Beach, FL 33139 305 532-8934The Lobster Shack - 40 South Pointe Dr. Miami Beach, 33139 305 763-8230Puerto Sagua- 700 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139 305 673-1115True Loaf Bakery- 1894 Bay Rd, Miami Beach, FL 33139 786 216-7207TimeOut Market- 1601 Drexel Ave, Miami, FL 33139 Market- The EDITION 2901 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33140786 257- 4600Taquiza- 7450 Ocean Terrace, North Beach, FL and 1531 Collins Ave. Miami Beach, FL COFFEE AND COCKTAILS Design District/Midtown/Wynwood/MiMo:Panther Coffee- 2390 NW 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33127 305 677-3952Miam Cafe & Boutique- 2750 NW 3rd Ave Suite 21, Miami, FL 33127 786 703-1451Salty Donut- 50 NW 23 St. Suite 112 Miami FL 305 935 8126 The Anderson Bar- 709 NE 79th St, Miami FL 305 757 3368Miami Beach:Panther Coffee in Sunset Harbour- 1875 Purdy Avenue Miami Beach, FL 33139Broken Shaker at The Freehand- 2727 Indian Creek Dr, Miami Beach, FL 33140 305 531-2727 The Regent Cocktail Club at The Gale - 1690 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139 305 673-0199Sweet Liberty Drinks & Supply Company - 237 20th St. Miami Beach FL 33139 305 763 8217We could go on and on… and each one of us has favorites that did not even make this list.
