The Forge is as famous as any South Florida restaurant not named Joe’s Stone Crab. After a $10 million renovation, the museum-like mahogany interior has been lightened and brightened to invigorating effect. Yet the six cuts of proffered beef remain the most sought-after entrées. Pair a steak with a glass of wine in one-, three-, […]

Though Forte dei Marmi in South Beach is named for the Tuscan seaside town known for its white mountain peaks, the restaurant’s real draw is a softer, serene atmosphere in conjunction with its rustic Italian cuisine. When the tagliolini with crab, cherry tomatoes, and chili oil arrives at the table, it’s obvious the pasta has […]
For seven decades, Fox’s Sherron Inn was Miami’s dark bar: a place to drink martinis, canoodle with a secret paramour, or forget your troubles with (or without) a buddy. Fox’s closed in July 2015, but Lost Boy & Co.’s Chris Hudnall and Randy Alonso (see also Tropezón and Brother’s Keeper) have reconstituted the joint as […]
This northern outpost of two-decades-old Peruvian restaurant El Francesco, renowned as one of Lima’s top seafood spots, fills a niche — change “niche” to “humongous hole” — left gaping by Miami’s other Peruvian eateries, tasty though the food at some of these luncheonette-looking places may be. Namely it’s upscale. The food’s a dress-up version of […]
There are bare-bones restaurants, and there are no-bones restaurants. Then there’s Frankie’s. Parking lots have more ambiance than this square, spare room decorated with a worn Formica counter, faded sports posters, and a rattling cooler full of soft drinks. No booze, no seats (except a couple of benches to park your butt until your order […]

This South Beach restaurant offers an affordable menu of popular, freshly prepared, fun-to-share foods in a bright and informal setting. It also fills a thus-far neglected niche in the local dining scene: water buffalo cuisine. Mozzarella di bufala is the most familiar of buffalo food products and is offered at Fratelli La Bufala in a […]
Fratelli Lyon serves fare that is really, honestly, literally just like the kind you find in Italy. Heck, many of the products here come from the boot, including olive oil, salumi, Italian DOP cheeses, heirloom legumes, and wines from boutique vintners. And what isn’t shipped from overseas is equally virtuous, such as organically grown produce, […]
Argentine ice-cream company Freddo Helado has been churning out crafted frozen delights since 1969. The company has landed in Miami Beach and features frozen treats made with fresh, hormone-free milk, pure cane sugar, fruits, and other natural and raw ingredients. The helados, free of any artificial flavorings, colorings, preservatives, or added vegetable fats, are made […]
A rather large British flag hangs proudly over the entrance and and sets the tone for this cozy watering hole. With a simple bar, small dance floor, easy entrance, and affordable booze, there’s none of the attitude and snobbery particular to SoBe. And just like the Brits, the people at Free Spirits take their drinking […]
Frenchie’s is a petite Coral Gables restaurant where the menu is squiggled in different colors on a chalkboard that fills one wall. At this 50-seat spot, some porcelain dishes are white; others are adorned with blue florals, gray patterns, and gold trim. Many spoons have light-pink handles; others are just stainless steel. Black-and-white floor tiles, […]

You know a restaurant has tapped into those wacky Californians when you can eat Mexican-style chicken eggrolls, caesar salad, herb-marinated and grilled skirt steak, spinach-sausage lasagna, and chocolate souffle all in the same meal. Throw in a mostly California wine list, affable servers without a shred of Miami’s infamous ‘tude, and an ambiance so relaxed […]
Fresh Market looks like an old-time general store with better lighting housed in swank digs right alongside Biscayne Bay. Tranquil music and aromatic produce seize your senses as soon as you enter (and, hey, the make-your-own-six-pack-of-beer cooler is definitely engaging), but the island in the center of the store is where the finest array of […]
Gallo pinto can mean either spotted rooster or a perfectly mixed rice-and-bean concoction. If you want the former, you are out of luck. But nowhere prepares the Central American delicacy more deliciously than Fritanga Cocina de Do
Good baho is hard to get, if you can find it at all. One reason is that it takes about eight hours to cook the complicated dish. What the heck is it? Essentially beef brisket, mysteriously soaked in a marinade of tomatoes, onions, and oranges, and then wrapped in banana leaves, tossed into a big […]

You might be surprised to discover that fritangas – Nicaraguan buffet-style restaurants – rival Cuban cafeterias in quantity around here. So it’s hard to make your mark when opening a new one. Luckily for Fritanga Cutler Bay, there isn’t another one for miles. That’s not to say the offerings here fall flat. Far from it. […]
Some say it’s the best fritanga (Nicaraguan cafeteria) in Miami, others are just stoked that Nicaraguan joints keep reproducing. Either way, visitors to Fritanga Montelimar will come away with the taste of Nicaragua on their tongue. Plates of traditional cuisine come cheap. Stuff yourself with carne asada, maduros, gallo pinto (rice and beans) and ropa […]
