Chef Michael Beltran’s Ariete adds an air of refinement to Coconut Grove not seen since the days when industrialist James Deering caroused its shores. Ariete serves dishes like foie gras with smoked plantains, but there’s something more than fancy amid the elegance offered by Beltran, who trained under chefs Norman Van Aken and Michael Schwartz. […]

Basil Park is Tim Andriola’s healthful, long-awaited followup to his Mediterranean mainstay, Timo. For the bright, airy bistro, he partnered with Tamer Harpke, a farmer with tracts in Hollywood and Dania Beach that produce the restaurant’s microgreens and soon up to 30 percent of its produce. But beyond Basil Park’s farm-to-table aspirations and “intact foods” […]
It’s not that the site has a ton of history beneath its barstools, including serving as the base for Pan American World Airways’ flying boats (AKA Clipper planes). It’s not that the decor brings to mind the golden age of burgeoning global travel. It’s not because you can watch boats being brought from dry storage […]
It seemed inevitable Tom Colicchio would open a place in Miami. He’s been eyeing the city since David Bouley’s Evolution vacated the Ritz-Carlton South Beach in 2007.

This hip Little Haiti spot run by chefs Luciana Giangrandi and Alex Meyer offers an ever-changing lineup of pastas designed to comfort and enchant. Look for pappardelle “Alla Lepre” – unctuous shreds of braised rabbit tangled with wide ribbons of pasta. It’s not all about noodles here, however. Boia De offers plenty of non-pasta delights, […]
Buns & Buns wants to bring good bread back. Owner Alexandre Zibi and chef Reuven Sugarman spent three weeks traveling the world in early 2013 in search of recipes and techniques from the globe’s greatest cooking cultures.

The food at most bookstore cafés usually encourages more fear and loathing than great expectations, but the cute little Café at Books & Books is actually a casual, inexpensive, unpretentious garden of earthly delights. The menu covers all the expected soup-salad-sandwich bases but also offers a few more adventurous options. Try the guava-glazed pork tenderloin […]
If lack of popularity was ever a problem at Michelle Bernstein’s namesake restaurant, it isn’t anymore. The 55-seat dining room at Cena by Michy fills to capacity with loyal fans throughout the week. The almost-iridescent purple-blue hue that once lined the ceiling and floor has been stripped away, along with the white tablecloths and ornate […]
For years, Stephen Starr had an eye on Miami Beach’s Motel Ankara and even once considered buying the art deco grande dame. The chance arose when Starwood Hotels purchased the Collins Avenue property and embarked on a $100 million makeover. The only thing that could go inside, he said, is the Continental.

As one of Miami’s first true pop-up restaurants, Eating House stands as a culinary gem not just for its creative riff-style menu, but also for its ability to pivot and expand without losing sight of its ethos: delivering simple, well-executed fare.

The menu at Glass & Vine eschews plate sizes and is split into four sections: Snacks, Garden, Sea, and Land. To start, opt for the barbecued spiced nuts that recently included cashews and walnuts tossed in a meringue spiked with garlic and onion powder, paprika, brown sugar, and complete seasoning. Left out to dry, the […]
Kojin took the intimacy and inventiveness of its origins as a six-seat pop-up and expanded those elements into a full-fledged Coral Gables restaurant – all without losing its soul.

Michael Mina 74 — the tony late-night spot at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach — might remind you of a nightclub. Inside the cavernous dining room, bachelorettes clink glasses of champagne, men in suits chat over stone crabs and Vieux Carr

There’s much more than beef at this inventive New American steakhouse. Guests can also dine happily on creative entrées featuring poultry or on cold-water oysters and other pristine raw-bar selections.
