Not all of us are lucky enough to have a good Chinese take-out restaurant near home. This is probably why West Kendall residents thank the goddess Fortuna that Jin-Jin is in their hood. The place isn’t gourmet or trendy. It simply offers the best Chinese take-out in South Miami-Dade. In fact, there is no means […]

This Silver Bluff bakery slash restaurant is a Latin-style sweets factory. From birthday cakes to pastelitos de queso, Karlo Bakery’s cases run the gamut of deep fried indulgences and sweet treats. They serve savory, too, with hallacas (Venezuelan tamales) croquetas and sammies galore. And for any given occasion, their display-window worthy cakes are perfecto. Chocolate, […]
Klima is the latest Spanish restaurant to plant its flag on Miami’s shores. The Catalan cuisine from the Barcelona-bred leadership team revolves around the Josper oven, a hybrid grill/oven/broiler that servers promise imparts the best of the three on young chicken, thick steaks, and slabs of pork ribs. But the broiler’s sear is missing from […]

La Carreta doesn’t serve the most gourmet Cuban food in Miami, but with multiple locations, it’s a convenient place to get the classics. The Little Havana location is a stand-alone building guarded by a colorful rooster statue. The menu is an extensive list of Cuban dishes such as ropa vieja ($8.95), picadillo ($6.50), and palomilla […]

If you’re breezing through the Fontainebleau – be it for poolside drinks or a swanky shindig, La Cote is worth a visit. And above all else, it’s their glorious outdoor patio that really shines. With balmy breezes, beautiful people and fruity cocktails – it’s a first hand view of how the other half lives. We’re […]
Lunch at La Loggia pulsates with the energy of a big-city restaurant, more so than perhaps any establishment in downtown Miami. Only a few basic northern Italian dishes are served, and all are cooked to order, meaning the emphasis is on freshness. The fairly priced food may not inspire, but is it rarely insipid. At […]

This South Pointe haunt recreates the leisurely French Riviera via an elegant, open-air beach club ambiance. Half the tables are set on a tiled floor under a white canopy awning; the rest sit in sand and are shaded by bright orange umbrellas. Warm, crusty bread in a cloth-covered basket arrives first and goes hand-in-hand with […]
This is Miami, which means our heavily Latin population will never have too many pastelitos, croquetas or arepas. Hence the vast quantity of bakeries lining our city streets. But La Suiza stands out, in part because their homemade pastelitos de queso are better than the norm. As are their cafe con leches and fresh-sqeezed OJ. […]
Like a long-term relationship that’s lost all pretense at passion, you’re probably so over cupcakes. Maple bacon, nutella, beer-infused … you’ve seen all their tricks, and they just don’t arouse you anymore. But one bite of a cupcake from LA Sweets, and it’ll feel like the first time all over again. This Brickell outpost serves […]
In a town full of okay Italian restaurants, this handsome Sunny Isles eatery featuring a spacious outdoor patio and cozy dining room with a wood-fired pizza oven is, well, okay. A roasted Portobello mushroom smeared with herbed goat cheese and tricked out with crisp pancetta and balsamic syrup is one of the better dishes. Vitello […]
Foodies the world over are well aware that, quite often, no-frills = best food. Such is the case with Las Delicias Peruanas. Set in Wynwood with a nondescript gray exterior, this little spot serves up some of Miami’s best Peruvian cuisine and seafood favorites. From ceviches of fish, shrimp, octopus, mixed shellfish and more to […]
If you’ve ever been lucky enough to find a $20 bill on the sidewalk, you’ll have the same feeling of good fortune after dining at this charming and blessedly inexpensive little neighborhood restaurant on the train wreck that’s upper Biscayne Boulevard. The short menu is more or less French, featuring excellent (and lighter than usual) […]

In the chain-restaurant-friendly, culinarily shy zone that is Kendall, there’s a party going on near the parking lot of a Publix. Inside a nondescript, squat building, guitar music wafts, political debates sound in Kreyol, and the clink of silverware delving into platters of rich goat and fish stews fills the air. It’s the area’s only […]
Leeks, tomatoes, garlic, onions, olive oil: This is French cuisine that beats the butter-and-cream rap. Le Proven
The location is a Miami mall (albeit a snazzy one), not the Champs
This cheery homegrown chain filled with pop music and great service isn’t an authentic Mexican border-town taco stand where you can get cow tongue for $2. But it sure is tasty for American Tex-Mex and appropriate for folks who crave a little Southwestern sizzle while counting calories. Try the “Skinny” or “South Beach” burrito ($7.99). […]
