Blue Martini

Listen up, single ladies and lads. If you’re in the mood for a good after-work drink in a trendy and upbeat atmosphere with scantily clad bartenders and mostly good-looking people, Blue Martini might be the place. The Mary Brickell Village outpost of the chain is large. There’s an indoor area lit by blue and purple […]

Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill

Located in South Beach, Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill serves a menu packed with traditional vegetable rolls that can be difficult to find amid Miami Beach’s cacophony of sushi spots. One roll is loaded with threads of loamy enoki mushrooms. Another wraps rice and seaweed paper around crunchy matchsticks of burdock root that taste […]

Blue Sky Food by the Pound

Not fancy but fast Cuban food, and lots of it. Buy by the portion for a quick, ready-made meal, or in bulk by the pound for take-out and catering services. Typically good roast suckling pig with onions, ropa vieja, picadillo, yuca with garlic, tamales, sweet plantains, and well-seasoned black beans and rice. Self-service. Take-out. Breakfast, […]

Boater’s Grill

One of two concessions inside Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, Boater’s Grill overlooks the tranquil No Name Harbor and offers views of downtown Miami and Biscayne Bay. It also offers some really fresh seafoods, including several paellas (including lobster and shrimp asopado for $26.95 and classic seafood paella for $28.95), lobster, and ceviche (fish […]

Bobby’s Meals

Bobby’s Meals is home to an igneous brew of vinegar and chili called escovitch that’s slathered over plump, flaky fillets. Like the vegetarian Ital plates, the fish comes alongside a mound of fragrant basmati rice studded with tender red beans. There are stewed peas: kidney and black beans, along with tight, smooth pigeon peas cooked […]

Bocce Bar

At Bocce Bar in midtown, executive chef Timon Balloo doesn’t want to dazzle you. He cooks things simply – braising duck legs in stock before plunging them into a pan with orecchiette, squash, and Parmesan. They are finished in a sauce that’s thick enough to coat a wooden spoon and tastes of sage and thyme. […]

Bodega Taqueria y Tequila South Beach

The focal point at Bodega Taqueria y Tequila is a pair of slowly twirling stacks of meat. The glistening, dripping columns of pork shoulder, layered with bacon and chicken, are topped with a pineapple whose juices sweat down into the meat. The method is inspired by small roadside spots on the outskirts of Mexico City. […]

Boia De

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, […]

Bombay Darbar

What began as a mom-and-pop 30-seater has grown into an Indian-food mainstay with locations in Coconut Grove, Doral, and Fort Lauderdale. Diners crunch on crisp papadum wafers while watching Bollywood movies on a large screen and perusing the menu. That list is lengthy, but at its heart are the tikkas, tandooris, and vindaloos that fans […]

Bombay Darbar

What began as a mom-and-pop 30-seater has grown into an Indian-food mainstay with two locations (Coconut Grove and Fort Lauderdale). Diners crunch on crisp papadum wafers while watching Bollywood movies on a large screen and perusing the menu. That list is lengthy, but at its heart are the tikkas, tandooris, and vindaloos that fans of […]

Bon-Bon Bakery

The facade of this bakery is rundown. The sign and storefront look as though they haven’t been painted since they were first erected – sometime around the Mayflower landing. Despite all that, Bon Bon Bakery surprises you twofold. First, what bakery do you know that offers real Cuban pizza? A full pie, plain cheese or […]
