Claudie is the Brickell showstopper Miami didn’t know it was missing. It’s a glamorous French-Mediterranean spot where every detail, from the design to the cocktails, feels intentional. The service is warm, the vibe is high-energy, and the menu (think escargots, pâtes au caviar, and a seafood tower that merits flexing on Instagram) delivers the Côte […]

You will quickly cozy up to Cleo, the Redbury Hotel’s eatery. Stellar cocktails and mezzes certainly help, while the affordable menu and reasonably priced wine list are impressive for South Beach. Then there’s the enticing room replete with photos of starlets portraying Cleopatra. Tables, meanwhile, are set with butcher-block paper, a colored pencil for doodling, […]
Corsair, celebrity Italian chef Scott Conant’s second Miami restaurant, doesn’t stray too far from home. It’s located in an Aventura resort owned by the same family behind Miami Beach’s iconic Fontainebleau, where his place Scarpetta has been a favorite since opening in 2008. It’s a bit more relaxed here, but that doesn’t mean flip-flops and […]
The space is small (hidden inside an office building, in a way-off-the-tourist-track, zero-glamour locale), and the food is simple – mostly soups, sandwiches, salads, and crepes, plus a few daily specials and more substantial entrées. Prices are luncheonette-level low, but fine-dining niceties – such as house-made breads and pastries – abound. A solid French technique […]

With all the oceanfront venues in SoBe, it’s surprising that the Ritz-Carlton’s DiLido Beach Club is one of a stingy handful of restaurant/lounges that allows guests open access to and from the beach. Named after the original building the Ritz Carlton now inhabits, The DiLido is open to the public and offers a Mediterranean-inspired menu […]
At Dolores, but You Can Call Me Lolita, there are Vietnamese salmon egg rolls, but you can call them yummy. Dinners encompass pork tenderloin, short-rib ravioli, and linguine with pesto and shrimp, but you can call it all a great deal either way. A dozen wines are poured by the glass, and desserts include items […]
With modern Aegean cuisine hailing from the shores of Greece and Turkey, Doya inspires with its dishes and its setup. Maybe it’s the bohemian decor, impressive wooden tables, lush patio for dining al fresco, and giant windows that usher in the perfect amount of light from dawn to dusk, but this is one of the […]
The roasted eggplant dip at Driftwood Room, the new restaurant at the revamped Nautilus South Beach Hotel, arrives packed inside a charred zucchini. Diners have two options: Plunge the accompanying pita slices into the tangy eggplant, or cut right into the zucchini and enjoy two tasty vegetables in one bite, sans bread. Such was the […]

With an outdoor dining room nestled under a hut adorned with swaying straw lanterns, El Turco beckons with a charming Istanbul-meets-Tulum ambiance. The focus isn’t on innovation at this Turkish restaurant nestled off NE Second Avenue in the Upper Buena Vista complex, but rather on familiar, comforting flavors reminiscent of family meals. If you’re looking […]
“Enso is an evolutionary solutions workshop which creates the scientific study of deliciousness.” So begins the insanely inventive, thoroughly audacious menu at this new sushi/hibachi/Mediterranean deconstructionist establishment on Lincoln Road. Each of a dozen main courses is categorized as “Study,” “Analysis,” or “Inspiration”; some come fragmented into four. Yellowtail, for instance, brings hamachi meatballs; a […]
Greek cuisine is rooted in simplicity and quality ingredients. At Estiatorio Milos in South Beach, there’s something new to discover on every visit. The fish selection changes daily depending on what fishermen haul in. The day’s catch is prepared to your liking and priced according to weight. There’s nothing newfangled here, but when it comes […]
