Clarke’s

Clarke’s has the big-city neighborhood pub look down pat: mahogany bar, voluminous display of wine and liquor, cozy pub accouterments of brick, wood, and mirrors. In the kitchen, chef Seth Lowenstein cooks expected tavern specialties like fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, and hamburgers along with more elaborate entrées such as seared ahi tuna, double-cut pork […]

Claudie

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 […]

Cleo South Beach

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, […]

Clevelander South Beach

If you want your burgers and beer served with a side of revelry, the Clevelander is your spot. We can think of no other place where you can splash in a pool, hang out with body-painted women, and watch a football game on a 20-foot LED screen (or more than 40 other monitors throughout the […]

Cliff’s Restaurant

This cluttered roadside room contains some tables scattered about and a counter with stools in front and hand-printed signs behind it touting assorted breakfast, lunch, and dinner specials. Cliff’s seems left over from another era, and so do the prices. For $5.50 you can get a lunch of jerk chicken, pork chops, cow foot, or […]

Clive’s Cafe

This is truly the hole-in-the-wall that has it all. Almost indistinguishable from the other storefronts along this part of North Miami Avenue, Clive’s makes its mark at the cozy counter set up with great Jamaican favorites like curry goat, oxtail, and cowfoot. With ample food packed on a $5.50 special this is a can’t-miss deal […]

Clive’s Cafe

Clive’s Cafe makes its mark with Jamaican favorites such as curry goat, oxtail, and jerk chicken. The original Wynwood location, which had been around for nearly four decades, closed, but the Little Haiti digs make for a colorful haven in which to eat some of the best Jamaican fare in Miami. The chicken is cooked […]

Club Tipico Dominicano

The line forms outside on an industrial stretch of 36th Street in Allapattah and money is collected in a cramped anteroom. But this club is homey and welcoming. A central, elevated dance floor has to be seen to be believed, and the well-lit space offers food, drinks, and plenty of tables. Weekly live radio broadcasts […]

CMX CinéBistro Dolphin Mall

CinéBistro is an eatery inside the Cobb movie theater at Dolphin Mall. Diners reserve advance movie tickets, arrive 30 minutes before start time, order food, and eat before the movie begins. They can also order during the movie; they’re given a buzzer to alert them when food is ready. Service is quick and attentive; waiters […]

Coco Gelato

Desire leads to desserts. Or at least that’s how Gustavo Sidelnik first began to make gelato. One day in Italy, Cupid pricked him hard with an arrow of amore when Sidelnik caught sight of a beautiful bombshell named Rosa lounging at the counter of her father’s gelateria. Dumbstruck, Sidelnik strolled in and begged the owner, […]

Coffee Zone

Brickell eats are often about convenience. How quickly can you grab a colada on your coffee break, stuff your face with a sammy over lunch, or inhale a candy bar for that afternoon sugar rush? Luckily, Coffee Zone is about a lot more than coffee. They’ve got eats ranging from gnocci bolognese ($7.95) and arepas […]

Coimbra Restaurant

Portuguese cuisine is lusty, soulful, rib-sticking fare in which cod – the salted, dried kind called bacalhau – is God. In the wrong hands it can be tough, fishy-tasting stuff. Luckily Coimbra has a good hand with this Portuguese staple and more than a dozen dishes to prove it. Cod fritters are light, crisp, and […]

Cold Stone Creamery

Miami diners who have never managed to master Starbucks’ sizing system will find Cold Stone Creamery’s similarly challenging; the ice-cream chain eschews small, medium, and large in favor of “Like It,” “Love It,” and “Gotta Have It” sizes. Once the portion is picked, patrons can concoct their own creations from super-premium ice cream flavors like […]

The Commons

Tucked into a science lab and classroom building at the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science on Virginia Key, this bar-cum-eatery began life as a cafeteria for students who might have cared more about describing the life cycle of Ocyurus chrysurus — that’s a yellowtail snapper to you — than eating […]
