Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Miami Beach

"In Miami’s historic MiMo District, Blue Collar has been serving up some of the best comfort food dishes in the city for nearly seven years (wow!) though it feels like just yesterday Chef Daniel Serfer arrived on the scene. He opened Mignonette, another instant success, just two years after Blue Collar. The brunch menu consists of Eggy Stuff, Syrupy Stuff, Othery Stuff, Sandwichy Stuff, and Salady Stuff and please believe us when we say you can’t go wrong no matter what your palate fancies."

"Though in many cities brunch is reserved for Saturday and Sunday, other cities also have people with jobs they can legally explain. Blue Collar gets Miami’s flex schedule lifestyle and offers a full brunch menu all day, every day. So if you’re hankering for brioche French toast, shrimp and grits, or a massive breakfast burrito with chipotle sour cream and 3pm on a Monday, they’re happy to oblige."

"This quaint spot between Downtown Miami and Wynwood is an oyster lovers’ paradise, with an ever-changing rotation of fresh oysters from the east and west coasts. In addition to oysters served in all fashions (from raw to Rockefeller-style), indulge in Mignonette’s lobster deviled eggs, buttery lobster rolls and the jumbo diver sea scallops. Be sure to save room for dessert, as the butterscotch and Heath bar bread pudding is worth every calorie."

"Once a 1930s-era gas station and later a 1980s diner, this oyster bar has become quite a hit with folks in Edgewater, and the adjacent Midtown and Wynwood neighborhoods. Owned by Blue Collar's own Danny Serfer and Ryan Roman, it's the perfect spot to satiate your seafood cravings. Peel-and-eat shrimp, caviar, rainbow trout, seared scallops, crab cakes, and oysters both raw and Rockefeller are all on the menu."

"Plant Miami has a modern plant-based approach with an emphasis on vibrant organic living foods. With vegan, kosher dishes naturally inspired by the South Florida landscape, they use the purest ingredients and highest sustainability practices in the industry. Plus, most of their farm-to-chef ingredients are locally sourced from their very own Paradise Farm."

"Plant Miami is an upscale, vegan restaurant that completely transforms vegetables into intricate dishes. Highlights include the harvest dumplings and the cannelloni filled with butternut squash and kale pesto, while guests will never miss cheese with its nut-based board. View this post on Instagram"

"This is a plant based restaurant is nestled in the Sacred Space Miami. They serve locally sourced, organic dishes that are as clean and modern as the space. All dishes are vegan, but they also feature raw vegan dishes (see our guide to types of vegan eating)."

"What started as a takeout window in South Beach became a chain taking over Florida with fresh, healthy ceviche, salads, burritos, and tacos. Most restaurants now have sit-down space, but the atmosphere is the same everywhere: Fresh seafood or free-range chicken is combined with fresh seasonal vegetables, given an international flavor and offered at reasonable prices. The signature ceviche is simple: fresh locally caught seafood tossed with fresh tomatoes, cilantro, red onions, and jalapenos, all drenched in their fresh, citrus-based sauce that comes in several versions."

"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"

"Who knew healthy food could look so pretty and also taste amazing?. This hole in the wall restaurant offers up some of the most delicious vegan food and freshly made juices and smoothies in Miami."

"If looking for restaurants in South Beach that serve healthy food head to Go-Go Fresh Food.

You must try the empanadas from classic argentinian beef, to a spicy Thai chicken, vegetarian options like spinach and cheese or mushroom and cheese, to meatballs and provolone."

"Whether you love Philly cheesesteak or pan-seared tofu, GoGo Fresh Food can please even the most picky eater. This restaurant offers several vegan items on the menu, but the best part is you can customize any item on the menu. So you can make anything vegan!"

"These are probably my favourite and the most fun on this list of instagrammable places in Miami. I just love the iconic colourful lifeguard towers in Miami, but especially the ones at South Pointe beach!. Expect to see all sorts of bright colours and fun shapes as you stroll along the beach."

"Crandon Park Beach boasts some of the clearest waters Miami has to offer, thanks in part to a strict ban on floatation devices and its offshore sandbar — itself an idyllic place to bask like the Floridian lizard you are at heart. Not to worry though, there’s plenty else to keep the whole family entertained, including unique eco-adventure experiences, picnic and cookout areas, and concession stands. If the sun becomes too much, head to the Family Amusement Center open on weekends and holidays only to check out its restored carousel, beachfront playground, and splash fountain."

"An abandoned zoo on a subtropical island, ever since Dade County's main zoological park decamped to way down south, the Crandon Park Gardens, or just Crandon Gardens (both derivations are used) has sat and grown into a hidden, mysterious botanical garden with otherworldly follies (the former animal enclosures) scattered here and there."

"Parents love Candon Park for its gorgeous 2-mile beach, lifeguards, and picnic areas. But kids keep coming back for the vintage carousel, paved roller rink, and a seahorse fountain. Throw in the pretty arboretum and gardens and you've got one of the best spots in Miami for kids of all ages."

"Continue south on Collins Avenue and enjoy the views of Miami Beach, eventually reaching iconic South Beach. Park and head to the sand to enjoy a few hours on the beach. If that doesn’t sound like the right fit, enjoy a walk along iconic Lincoln Road for shopping, eating, drinking and people watching."

"Once you enter Buena Vista Bistro you’ll be immersed in a laid-back, 1950s-inspired setting that won’t distract you from the food. When renowned Chef Claude Postel moved to Miami, he was certain that he wanted to open a true neighborhood joint where diners could gather for a taste of authenticity and value. After five years on South Beach, he opened Buena Vista Bistro, a small, intimate restaurant that quickly became the neighborhood hot spot."

"At Buena Vista Deli, terrace seating inspires the feelings of a French bistro in the heart of the Miami Design District. Not only does the ambiance have a French flair, so does the cuisine, which includes an array of freshly baked croissants, pastries, and pate, with daily specials displayed on the hanging chalkboard sign inside."

"Restaurants Buena Vista. This popular neighborhood cafe serves all sorts of authentic and tasty French treats and takes its croissants very seriously. Though if you want them toasted, which you do, they won’t shun you for Americanizing their national treasure."

"The gist: South Beach’s swanky Moxy hotel opens a high-end Mexican concept, with gourmet seafood dishes set in what feels like a Mexico City mansion. As per Dade County Code, there is also a secret back room mezcal bar.The food: Coyo chef Scott Linquist has another hit on his hands, this time making carnitas out of seafood by braising fish in pork fat, cooking it crispy, and dropping his culinary mic. He’s also grilling sushi grade tuna and jumbo shrimp for the coolest kebabs in the Beach, and has a whole menu of Mexican ceviches that are just as intriguing as the ones he crafted upstairs at Serena.The cost: Starters and shareables $15 - $30, skewers ~$30, daily seafood market priceHow to book: Reserve via OpenTable."

"Seafood is another thing you will find at many Miami restaurants, but it doesn’t have to be expensive. My Ceviche is our favorite hidden gem we found on our last trip. This counter service eatery offers ceviche and poke bowl for just $10!"

"If you’ve got a seafood restaurant on the beach, that fish better be fresh — and Fifi’s does not disappoint. Every morning a local surfer goes out into the Atlantic and catches hog snapper and grouper and, when in season, lobster. It can be a little pricey, but go for the daily lunch specials to get a killer meal on a budget."

"Fifi’s is one of the best-kept secrets of our city, located in Miami’s North Beach. But it quite possibly serves some of the best seafood in all of the city. The neighborhood hidden gem is famous for its fresh Hog Snapper, caught by locals daily, as well as the flavorful seafood paella."

"Latin American seafood restaurant famous for its seafood paella and the freshest stone crabs when in season, also offering oyster bar and lobster specials."
