Paperfish Sushi

One of the Magic City’s best-kept sushi secrets, Paperfish, is, appropriately, hidden in an alley. You’ll know you’ve arrived when you spot the restaurant’s red torii gates between the towering buildings of Brickell and South Miami Avenue. Inside, ornamental cherry trees carve out one dining area from another, spiriting diners into a Tokyo-inspired izakaya. The […]

Papo Llega y Pon

There are few restaurants in this world that offer food so good, you’re willing to eat it standing up. Papo Llega y Pon is one of those places. More of a wraparound sandwich counter than an actual restaurant, it’s worth checking out no matter how far you live from the Allapattah landmark. A constant flow […]

Paquito’s Mexican Restaurant

Paquito’s is the kind of place where eclectic surroundings – hot-pink ponchos used as tablecloths, walls the color of lime sorbet, and quirky knickknacks galore – truly reflect the menu. Warm, fresh tortilla chips with chunky cilantro-spiked salsa are complimentary, and other starters include ceviche with jalapenos and a Mexican pizza topped with black olives, […]

Parrot Lounge

The Parrot Lounge has been serving thirsty beachgoers since 1970. The bar, located just a block west of A1A on Fort Lauderdale Beach, is a mecca for bikers, tourists, and sun worshippers who come for the excellent beer selection, General Tso’s chicken wings, and the no-frills, friendly ambiance. On weekends, the party spills out into […]

Pasha’s

In the mid-90s, while studying at Harvard Business School, Pasha’s CEO Antonio Ellek came up with the concept of a healthful Mediterranean fast-food restaurant. And in 2003, with the help of classmate Nicolas Cortes, the first location for this homegrown chain sprouted on Lincoln Road. Since then, seven other Pash’s have blossomed and flourished throughout […]

Pasion del Cielo

If you ever find yourself half-naked in a Coral Gables condo at 10 p.m., grinding your teeth and picking your scabs, you have a problem. You need caffeine and you need it badly. But there’s a bigger problem. Your usual supplier, Starbucks, has already closed for the night. Ditto for Barnes & Noble. Even your […]

Pastor at Pascal

Pastor at Pascal – formerly Pascal’s on Ponce – proves that a beloved classic can evolve without losing its soul. The new Basque chef wisely kept Pascal Oudin’s legendary French staples after he retired in 2024, like the Gruyère soufflé and the duck confit, while weaving in Spanish hits such as Galician octopus and Iberian […]

Patagonia Home Made Products

Argentines are known for their arrogance and red meat. At Patagonia, you get plenty of the latter without much of the former. Miami has a glut of Argentine meat factories/steak houses, and most are pricey. But this place in Coral Gables seems to dispense with presentation in favor of substance. Sure, there’s no waiter service […]

The Patty Place

On a busy strip off 441 in Miami Gardens sits a strip mall devoted to all things Caribbean. While trying to hustle for a hard-to-come-by parking space in this tiny lot, you barely notice the plain-Jane storefront located in the middle of the complex. Patty Place is a walk-through, 300-square-foot take-out joint where you can […]
