Milly’s Restaurant

When it comes to Milly’s Restaurant, it’s hard to settle on only one of its many selling points. This small restaurant, inconspicuously located on the corner of a rundown shopping center, is a rare gem. Once you walk in (usually after the host opens the door for you out of nowhere), you are instantly transplanted […]

Mimmo’s Mozzarella Italian Market

Since 2008, Bruno Ponce has been quietly making fresh mozzarella out of a nondescript North Miami building mostly filled with walk-in refrigerators and stainless-steel work tables. The milk comes from Wisconsin cows and is processed into curd in New Jersey before it’s sent south. Ponce is an Argentine whose grandfather emigrated from Bari, on Italy’s […]

Mina’s Mediterraneo

The cooking at Mina’s might remind you of a potluck supper hosted by friends from Egypt, Greece, Italy, Spain, and France. The kitchen is led by Yasmine Kotb and her mother, who personally trained the staff in re-creating the family’s most cherished recipes. Slurp the lentil soup, a dish that Kotb ate as a kid. […]

Mint Leaf Indian Brasserie

Mint Leaf’s most distinctive offerings are its dosas: thin, crisp pancakes made from ground fermented lentils and rice that come folded around a choice of stuffers such as masala lamb, spicy chicken, or the traditional potatoes and onions — a knish with chutzpah (and tasty). Entrees divide into seafood, chicken, lamb, rice, and vegetarian, the […]

Misha’s Cupcakes

Admittedly, Miami is a bit behind the cupcake craze. The market was ripe for a clever cupcake entrepreneur to step forward and put the city on the miniature dessert map. Offering ooey-gooey deliciousness in bite-size portions, Misha’s red velvet is the most talked-about flavor, but our favorite is cookies and cream. Or is it coconut? […]

Miss Saigon

The interior of Miss Saigon looks otherworldly. The folks who work here dress in traditional odia (brilliantly hued long dresses) and have a knack for making guests feel welcome. Have no fear if this is your first time eating Vietnamese. An extremely friendly (and on occasion, flamboyant) server will ask you a series of questions: […]

Have no fear if this is your first time eating Vietnamese. The traditional beef pho is large enough to share and comes with rice noodles and […]

Mister O1

Known as Visa-O1 when it opened in Miami Beach in 2014, this pizza joint had to tweak its name owing to trademark issues. The “O1” is a reference to the O-1 visa the U.S. reserves for “individuals with extraordinary ability.” So, yes, this pint-size pizzeria thinks highly of its pies – and with good reason: […]
