What is a GastroPod? It’s been a food truck in the form of a 1962 Airstream trailer and a stall in Aventura Mall. Sometimes it’s a pop-up dinner or brunch at an art gallery. Lately it’s a pair of shipping containers converted to mobile kitchens in the heart of Wynwood. Whatever form it takes, one […]

Jeremiah Bullfrog ain’t no Mister Softee. He ain’t no Dairy Queen either. Yet his GastroPod foodmobile, a shiny silver converted ’62 Airstream trailer, attracts streams of enthusiastic followers wherever it goes – as if he’s the Pied Piper of foodies or something. He ain’t that either, but the Miami native is a damn seriously talented […]
Everything about the place is smart, starting with the lofty, industrial, urban-chic d
An open-air, oceanfront oasis, this sophisticated spot offers a Mediterranean-inspired menu featuring whole grilled fish, grilled lobster tail and paella, as well as fresh sandwiches, salads, house-made guacamole and sweets.
Go-Go Fresh Food Cafe stands out in South Beach as a healthful and affordable option. Go-Go has a pretty simple menu: mini salads, big salads, homemade soups that change daily, and the famous Go-Go Pies ($2.50). The stuffing of these pies, also known as empanadas, is vast with options ranging from classic Argentine to Philly […]
Sometimes, changing the menu simply isn’t enough – you need to change the entire concept. At least that’s what Michael Sullivan did when he closed his popular Brickell gastropub, OTC, and opened Golden Fig in its place. Named for an indigenous Florida tree, Golden Fig serves dinner and brunch in an intimate setting best described […]

There are ostensibly other reasons besides beer to visit Gordon Biersch: The room is sleekly attractive, with a shiny brewery behind glass walls. The staff is accommodating and the largely professional clientele energetic – perhaps an understatement on Friday afternoons, when the Brickell office buildings empty out. And the 320-seat restaurant (including 90 patio seats) […]
Gourmet Diner, which debuted its chrome, ’40s-style diner car in 1983, boasts an extensive diner-like menu of burgers, salads, and dozens of main-course choices, along with 40 or so daily specials. At its new location, just north of the chrome diner car on Biscayne Boulevard, American and Italian selections abound, supplemented by barely enough French […]

GreenStreet is the patio café of Coconut Grove. Disagree? Take it up with the hordes of local lunchers crammed into the lush, umbrella-canopied spot on the corner of Main Highway and Commodore Plaza. It isn”t the drink menu — although the just-right bloody marys are stellar — that keeps folks coming. It”s the giant portions […]
Between frenzied flings with wasabi foams, foie gras ice cream, and other frivolous foods, diners return to safe and steady steakhouses such as the Grill on the Alley. The original Grill has thrilled Beverly Hills A-listers since 1984, and this Aventura branch relies on the same menu and formula – that of the classic American […]

If you’ve visited a Hard Rock Cafe anywhere in the world, then you know to expect. But, that said, the Bayside location is weirder than most. Take for example the domed ceiling mural involving multicultural cherubs, tropical foliage, and psychedelically geometric Egyptian spacemen with glowing groins. Yeah, trippy.
Once Houston’s, the brand has embraced their new moniker while staying true to their tenets of sharp service and impeccable food. Their veggie burger is arguably the best in town. Others rave about their French dip. And nearly everyone is a fan of their sleek dining room and attractive, young professional clientele. With entrees ranging […]
The laidback Blue Marlin Fish House is located in Oleta River State Park, right where the original Blue Marlin Smoke House stood in 1938. Back then it was a trading post where fishermen could barter their catch straight off their anchored boats. Now the grounds boast a picturesque setting for lunch. There’s a nature center […]
