The Melting Pot

Inside a $1 million building, you can indulge in the guiltiest of pleasures: melted cheese, savory meat, and chocolate fondue. Imagine a pot filled with molten cheddar and Swiss mixed with garlic and beer. Next to this concoction sit bowls of sliced bread, apples, and veggies to dip and munch. Or picture a platter of […]

Mercado Brasil

Missing your South American roots? Or just dreaming of a Brasilian beach? Mercado Brasil will get you as close as can be with their array of Brasilian delicacies like empada, coxinha and feijoada, along with gourmet sammies, wines, pastries and other products. Now all you need are some Brasilian bikinis and you’re on the way […]

Metro Grill

Marlins Park might be an epic failure as far as the taxpayers, the city and the team are concerned. But they got a few things right. Namely, the stadium food selection. It’s a few steps up from the standard peanuts-popcorn-nachos fans are used to. One notable spot is Metro Grill, an on-site eatery serving up […]

Mi Rinconcito Mexicano

The sparsely decorated Mi Rinconcito is set up as though the only reason in the world that restaurants exist is for people to sit down with one another and enjoy food, drink, and company. Just like in Mexico. The fare, too, touts the stripped-down appeal of real south-of-the-border cantinas. Guests begin with complimentary thick tortilla […]

Mi Vida Cafe

There’s a reason you expect more from Miami’s vegan spots these days, and it’s because of places like the MiMo District’s Mi Vida Cafe. There’s a sloppy joe, but forget the beef. The dish features portobello mushroom, peppers, onions, braised seitan, spinach, and almond romesco served on homemade bread. You won’t even miss the meat. […]

MIA Bruhaus

If it’s variety you crave, MIA Bruhaus is the brewery for you. Owner Eddie Leon created this Doral brewery and distillery (formerly M.I.A. Beer Company) as an experimental playground for all things beer and craft booze-inspired. Today that means a beer garden and tasting room with a 50-plus roster of craft IPAs, lagers, ales, sours, […]

MIA Market

On a cool Friday evening, stylishly dressed crowds scurry up an escalator to MIA Market. The 10,000-square-foot food hall holds a dozen distinct food and drink concepts. The idea is based on the successful flagship of the same name in New Orleans. Try Vietnamese fare from Tran Am, or order up gnocchi-like spinach dumplings called […]

Miam Café

The zebra-striped Wynwood Building is a magnet for sightseers, but until Miam (pronounced MEE-um) opened, the landmark offered visitors little more than a photo opportunity. It’s one of a handful of real neighborhood places with offerings ranging from vegetarian breakfast burritos to start the day alongside chocolate croissants to help you power through a lazy […]

Miami Brewing Company

There’s nothing like a day trip to the Redland to shed those urban blues. Sharing the property with Schnebly Redland’s Winery, Miami Brewing Company is situated amid a lush landscape blessed with waterfalls, a koi pond, live music on the weekends, and more. The taproom is a family-friendly affair that offers generous indoor and outdoor […]

Miami China City

Everyone can use a little Asian persuasion every now and again, but Miami’s lacking in a proper Chinatown, Japantown, Koreatown … hell, any town a la the Asian continent. Luckily, Miami China City is a little town unto itself. From samurai swords and litchi juice to cast-iron tea seats and Hello Kitty suitcases, you’ll find […]
