Caribbean in Miami New Times
Showing 23 - 44 of 54
You don’t have to head all the way to the island nation to get your fill of Jamaican food — just to the Hammocks, to Island Restaurant & Variety Food Store. At this orange-walled eatery, you can sample all the traditional Jamaican eats that might otherwise be difficult to find. Think callaloo with codfish, oxtail, […]
It’s been decades since Sam Konata dished out his first vegetarian meal. These days at his small place, he serves as many fist bumps as he does sweet, sticky slices of vegan banana bread. His menu, like several others in the area, is rooted in the Rastafari religion that blossomed in Jamaica in the 1930s. […]

In a city with more Cuban eateries than McDonald’s — it’s no small feat to be named Miami’s best. But Las Vegas Cuban Cuisine took the 2013 title for their fresh tostones ($3.50), creole-sauce smothered camarones enchilados ($17.95) and savory chimichurri sauce-topped churrasco steak ($17.95). So if you’re lacking a Cuban grandmother of your own, […]
Sure, there’s a serious lack of air conditioning, and random dancehall concert posters adorn the walls. But L.C. Roti is the spot for the softest, freshest, and yummiest roti in North Dade. Located in a Caribbean-centric strip mall off State Road 441 in Miami Gardens, the place regularly boasts a dinnertime line of customers waiting […]
Niven Patel, named one of Food & Wine magazine’s 2020 Best New Chefs, has already earned the respect of Miami with his first restaurant, Ghee (also on this year’s list). With Mamey, he showcases the flavors of the tropics. Bahamian conch fritters, Trinidadian roti, and Puerto Rican tostones all find a place on the menu, […]
Located on the rooftop of Niven Patel’s Mamey Miami, Mamey on 3rd is a tropical oasis that serves Caribbean-inspired cocktails and bites. There’s a daily happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m. when guests can enjoy $6 bites, $10 cocktails, and a selection of other beverages ranging from $5 to $7. Looking for even more […]
Anyone who’s visited South Beach has, at the very least, walked past Mango’s Tropical Cafe, famed for its exotic tropical atmosphere and lively dance shows that feature Cuban conga, Brazilian samba, and other Latin styles. Mango’s, though, is even more famous for its supersized, tropical-themed cocktails. Served in souvenir glasses, most are offered in 15-, […]

Air Jamaica posters on bright-pink walls beckon you to the islands via beautifully lush landscapes, but the food at Errol and Carol Whyte’s cheery downtown restaurant lets you know you don’t have to get on a plane to enjoy authentic Caribbean cooking. We mean the real deal: oxtail, cow foot, curry goat — this place […]
When it comes to Milly’s Restaurant, it’s hard to settle on only one of its many selling points. This small restaurant, inconspicuously located on the corner of a rundown shopping center, is a rare gem. Once you walk in (usually after the host opens the door for you out of nowhere), you are instantly transplanted […]
My Ceviche brings in whole fish from local waters and prepares them on the premises – that’s really what makes the ceviche and other items here better than those at most other seafood places. Whether you select shrimp, octopus, or the local fish du jour, and whether you go medium or large, and whether you […]

It’s been more than 20 years since Ortanique opened on “the Mile” in July 1999, but chef/owner Cindy Hutson’s Caribbean-influenced Cuisine of the Sun never grows old. Red Stripe-steamed mussels, jerk chicken penne pasta, West Indian-style bouillabaisse in curried coconut broth – let’s face it, you can’t get this sort of fare anywhere else in […]
