Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Miami Beach

"Juvia, the stunning restaurant on the rooftop of the iconic 1111 Lincoln Road building in South Beach, features a brunch menu worthy of its postcard-perfect setting. The restaurant is known for its harmonious blending of French, Japanese and Peruvian cooking styles. Start with bottomless cocktails such as Aperol spritz, prosecco or mimosas before tucking into an inventive appetizer like ceviche carretillero with white fish, crispy calamari and red onions."

"Accessed only by a private elevator, Juvia greets guests with an unobstructed 360-degree view of South Beach’s famed Art Deco district. Here, the kitchen focuses on the blending of French, Japanese and Peruvian cuisine, flaunting a selection of crudos, tiraditos, seafood and meats cooked on a charcoal grill. There’s even a display of vertical gardens, designed by botanist Patrick Blanc, meant to resemble the Amazon rainforest."

"With panoramic views of South Beach, this swanky penthouse retreat is totally photo-worthy, but it’s more than a pretty post. The menu features a mix of French, Peruvian and Japanese cooking, and whether you’re having the truffle ceviche or crispy prosciutto-topped burrata, you’re in for a memorable meal."

"With ambiance that is reminiscent of the tranquil Greek islands, Mandolin Aegean Bistro has become a go-to for locals looking for a romantic night out in the Miami Design District. Sweep your date off their feet as soon as you pass through the blue-framed doors, where you can hide away at a table inside the intimate 1940s bungalow, or settle on the lush patio at a lantern-lit table beneath the trees. The husband-and-wife team who own the restaurant are from Greece and Turkey, so expect authentic recipes in shareable, light dishes such as a Greek sampler of dips, steamed mussels, marinated grilled octopus and lamb kebabs."

"If you’re looking for a getaway to the Greek islands, you might as well save on airfare and visit Mandolin instead. Housed in a 1940s home, this quaint blue and white restaurant covered under blooming bougainvillea is reminiscent of the Greek tavernas. Tables are set in a lush garden lit by dainty patio lights where the soft murmur of conversation makes it all the more romantic."

"Chef Jeremy Ford's food is as beautiful to view as it is delicious to eat. The menu, available a la carte or as an eight-course tasting menu, changes often, so it's hard to pinpoint one dish to try consistently. But if you're ordering a la carte, don't skip the snacks."

"It’s actually Top Chef winner Jeremy Ford’s South Beach restaurant. While his savory food is delicious, what we really can’t get enough of is pastry chef Dallas Wynne’s snickerdoodles. They’re served warm and oozing with a rich chocolate filling."

"Nestled in the back of a Key Biscayne strip mall somewhere behind an anonymous Starbucks sits a spot for fine Iberian dining. For the past few years, Kebo Restaurant has offered a varied and delicious selection of Spanish cuisine. It serves nearly everything you would want to eat after flying into Madrid, including tapas, paellas, fish, and meats, as well as a diverse vegetarian menu."

"Located in Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay Hotel, Catch Grill and Bar is not a typical hotel restaurant. Its indoor dining room is elegant and spacious, but its waterfront seating is breathtaking, with a view of the bay and spectacular sunsets in a relaxed atmosphere, attracting both hotel guests and casual diners. The menu is seafood-focused, American, and traditional, with a large list of delicious appetizers and sandwiches and small but fine main plates."

Frenchie’s Diner has been serving up the classic lunch and dinner staples every day but Sunday and Monday. This charming locale has everything you want from a neighborhood Brasserie–from a low-key diner atmosphere, an owner that knows you by name, and solid comfort food that never fails."

"In the midst of downtown’s modern skyscrapers, this waterfront park offers plenty of green space for active folks to exercise. There’s an outdoor gym, volleyball, basketball and tennis courts, and palm tree-lined sidewalks to jog along. Though a hotspot for young locals, parents can bring their kids for some fun in the covered kids’ playground and enjoy a barbecue by the grills and picnic tables."
