The sweet smell of cakes a-bakin’ tickles your nose way before you step into Mary Ann Bakery, and you’d have to be subhuman to resist the urge to walk into this unassuming little spot tucked away on 163rd Street. The front window is filled with birthday and bridal cakes, and although they look (and probably […]

Mason, created by Beaker & Gray owner Brian Nasajon, is an antidote to Miami’s trite fusion cuisine and over-the-top displays of foie gras. Here, comfort, quality, and convenience come wrapped in a sandwich. Mason is a 2,500-square-foot art deco-inspired space where just about everything on the menu, from pretzel-dough knots to maple ham and fish […]
Good inexpensive restaurants in South Beach are something of an oxymoron, but if you’re on the Beach and hungry for tasty, budget-friendly pizza and pasta, you’d be downright stupid not to check out Master’s. Pizzas come with a variety of toppings and in many guises (deep-dish, Sicilian, calzone, stromboli), but it’s the crust that makes […]
The pièce de résistance of Matador Room is a massive white chandelier reminiscent of an octopus – a restoration of the one from the Seville Hotel’s original Matador Room, whose spherical layout has also remained intact. Meanwhile, the leafy outdoor area is a nod to the Tropicana nightclub in Havana. In the recommended signature arroz […]
This quaint little downtown eatery features some dozen-plus lunch specials (most $5.99 and each accompanied by a mound of white rice), all freshly cooked and invigoratingly seasoned. Indonesian staples served include grilled skewers of chicken or pork saté with peanut sauce; chili-and-coconut-seeped beef rendang; and rice noodles stir-fried with kecap manis (sweet soy), peas, scallions, […]

This is the sort of place whose description necessitates the mention of something like: “Now mind you, it’s not much to look at.” It appears to have once been a Dairy Queen-like operation, a stand-alone rectangular box with an angled take-out window. But for those willing to take the road less traveled for the sake […]
North Miami Beac’hs Mazzi Cucina sits in a strip mall near the former location of Yakko-San that today houses favorites such as the Vietnamese spot PhoMi2Go, Filipino restaurant Lutong Pinoy, and Lettuce & Tomato, which is run by a former Epicure chef. The place is filled with knickknacks that describe generations of chef/owner Stefano Mazzi’s […]

In the roasted octopus dish, a large Spanish mollusk is quick-roasted in the Wood Stone-brand oven and then dressed copiously with Tuscan extra-virgin olive oil, fresh red pepper, and garlic. The tentacles are charred quickly, producing an aroma […]
