Cantina Beach

Why travel to a luxury resort in Mexico when you can experience authentic cuisine and vacation-like ambiance in Key Biscayne? At the Ritz-Carlton’s Cantina Beach, you’ll find an open-air, poolside dining room. Don’t overdo it at the addictive guacamole station. Save room for inventive menu additions such as tostadas de cochinita pibil, made from delicately […]

Cantina Grill

Easy to miss and small inside, Cantina Grill is not unlike many Mexican joints that have popped up in recent years. But it seems to have garnered a sizable following, and the restaurant is often packed with eager patrons likely drawn to the generous portions. The interior is colorful, if not terribly original. Before going […]

Cantina la Veinte

Cantina la Veinte is not your average nacho spot. More than a dozen kitchen workers, browning tortillas and simmering large vats of fragrant soups like caldo de camarón, scramble to stay ahead of the weeknight buzz. The contents of the two-page bill of fare features tortas – Mexican sandwiches slathered with black beans and topped […]

Canton Chinese Restaurant

You can usually base the quality of Chinese take-out on egg rolls, and Canton makes them massive and good. Pick up food at this South Miami standout or sit in the dining room with a free pot of tea. Located in a nondescript strip mall, it’s open late, and the chefs prepare tasty food at […]

Canton Palace

A neighborhood Chinese restaurant that caters to a mostly Asian clientele, Canton Palace has one of the best dim sums around. There are, of course, Americanized Chinese dishes available, so you can still find honey garlic chicken and beef with broccoli on a printed menu. It would be a shame to visit Canton Palace and […]

The Capital Grille

This high-end steak house for the high-powered adds some carnivorous class to the downtown riverside scene. A meat locker in the middle of the dining room, where the beef is dry-aged, gives you a good idea of what’s on the menu; a 400-plus selection of wine gives you a lot of ideas about what to […]

Capri Restaurant

This Italian throwback looks like a roadside stop for the likes of Mom and Pop Walton making their way from the sinful Miami to a kitschy Keys resort. Since 1958, Capri Restaurant has been doling out old school Italian favorites like fettucine alfredo ($14.59), stuffed shells ($10.99), antipasto ($10.99) and meat lover’s pizza ($10.99) and […]

Capt Crab’s Take-Away

Capt. Crab’s Take-Away is not a Long John Silver’s wannabe. Rather, it’s what Long John Silver’s wants to be: a place that serves fresh, affordable, and delicious seafood piping-hot from a drive-thru window. Fish sandwiches come grilled or fried, and the battered conch fritters are large and divine. But the most heavenly dish at this […]

Captain Jim’s Seafood Market & Restaurant

David Garcia (La Camaronera Seafood Joint) now owns this iconic North Miami seafood spot, which dates back to the 1990s. This heir to Miami seafood royalty kept the menu mostly unchanged, allowing Captain Jim’s to do what it does best: serve the freshest fish possible. Favorites include stone crab claws (in season) and a beautiful […]

Captain’s Tavern

In 1971, Bill “The Captain” Bowers opened the doors of his seafood restaurant in the boondocks of southwest Miami-Dade, now known as Pinecrest, and has remained an institution for locals and tourists alike ever since. When Bowers died in 2020 at the age of 91, his wife, Audrey Palomino Bowers, and their son, Dale Palomino, […]

Carbone

Sure, Carbone, the New York-based Italian restaurant from Major Food Group, is a hype beast. The restaurant, which offers red-sauce classics in a buzzy setting, is a nearly impossible reservation. There’s good reason, though: Carbone delivers. Its spicy rigatoni vodka is a perfect example. Presented on a plate hand-painted by nonnas in Southern Italy, the […]

Carbone Vino

Carbone Vino is the high-end Italian restaurant by Major Food Group that Coconut Grove needed, offering the brand’s signature glamour without the exclusivity of its South Beach counterpart. While the OG Miami Carbone on the Beach was reserved for milestone occasions, Carbone Vino feels more approachable – it’s possible to snag a reservation, for one […]

Cardon y El Tirano

Venezuelan chef Francisco Anton brings together the flavors of the world’s Spanish-countries in one menu. Sometimes it’s for the better, and occasionally not as much. The best are his tacos, made with fresh house-pressed tortillas and topped with clever spins on classic fillings such as Negra Modelo-braised beef tongue diced and dusted with chorizo powder. […]
