Tasty Beach Cafe

Look around at what’s on the tables of the hordes who pack tiny Tasty, and it’s a cinch to see that ersatz junk food is not the main draw. The most popular plates are salads – and no wonder; the produce isn’t wilted salad-bar stuff, but wonderfully fresh. Especially appealing is the Garden D-Lite, which […]

The Taurus

Housed in one of Coconut Grove’s most historically significant buildings, Taurus is a convivial watering hole that accepts everyone, including dogs. True to its name, the well-stocked bar offers a broad selection of beers, whiskeys, and other spirits, including an Irish daiquiri and a boozy lemonade. Expect grade-A pub grub from on-site Cuban Filipino pop-up […]

Tavern In the Grove

There’s pleasant bumping and grinding as you inch your way to the bar and your next frosty one. There are darts, a pool table, and a couple of videogames, but the entertainment is mostly supplied by a jukebox laden with hard rock. They occasionally slip in a little hip-hop. That’s what they’re listening to at […]

Ted’s Hideaway

True to its name, Ted’s Hideaway is tucked away in Miami Beach’s South of Fifth neighborhood, where the bar offers succor to those in search of a dark place to escape the Beach’s glitz and glamour and the searing South Florida sun. During its daily happy hour – from noon to 8 p.m.! – Ted’s […]

Ted’s at YoungArts

At Ted’s, it’s like you’re in on a well-kept secret. Throughout the week, an array of artists, some of them alums of the YoungArts Foundation, take the stage inside the intimate seventh-floor space to do what they do best. There was long a plan to convert what was once the cafeteria of the iconic Bacardi […]

Teixeira Portugal Restaurant

There’s good reason why the humble codfish is so prevalent at Teixeira Portugal: The history of Portuguese cuisine, which is represented in Miami in only a handful of restaurants, is filled with off-white fillets of the ubiquitous catch. The heartiness and seemingly endless shelf life of the salted, preserved fish that became the fuel for […]

Texas de Brazil

Texans rival few in terms of their love for steak. Few, that is, if we leave out the entire population of Brazil. Instead of taking this rivalry to a duel, the two camps can coexist seamlessly at this Texas-Brazilian steakhouse. Carvers greet you at the table with grilled offerings of beef, lamb, pork, chicken, and […]

Thai House II

More than 2,500 miles of land and sea – plus a cultural gulf that’s just as wide – separate Thailand and Japan, so diners have to wonder why the two nations’ cuisines share menu space at Thai House II. An appetizer of “crispy noodles” – slightly crunchy strands loaded with shrimp and scallions and stuck […]

Thai House South Beach

Adventures in high-ticket parking and sunburned tourists are just a part of a trip to South Beach. Steps from the din of vacationers is an oasis of amazing Thai cuisine. Once you’ve removed your shoes and are comfortably perched at a low table inside Thai House, the aromas of curries and peanutty sauces whisper that […]

Thali Indian & Thai Cuisine

The menu at this Indian-Thai restaurant is densely populated with a plethora of items from both namesake countries, but the bulk of selections are from the owner’s native India. House specialties include dosas, a southern Indian pancake rolled with choice of fillings such as onion masala, mushroom cheese, and chicken tikka; and the namesake thali, […]
