This Jamaican joint is reminiscent of a grandmother’s kitchen in Kingston. But no need to travel to the island and make good with locals in order to have delicious braised oxtail or curried goat. Try the brown stew fish and fried dumplings or one of the daily specials. Until 3:30 p.m. eat the best jerk […]

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 […]
Ever crave a traditional Greek meal midday in downtown Miami? Well, Pega Grill, now open on Flagler Street, can satisfy your every Mediterranean desire. It’s a perfect place for a work lunch, too, because there’s WiFi to accompany the delicious dishes. Outside, seats are shaded by large umbrellas, and the inside is clean and cozy. […]
You wouldn’t think there’s anything special about Peking One; it’s a three-table takeout spot with pink Formica walls. The menu, or rather, a series of photographs of typical dishes, sits above the counter. Boring-looking takeout d
Oak is the wood of choice for barbecuing at People’s, the Overtown restaurant that’s been serving barbecue and soul food specialties for over four decades. The menu includes oxtails, pork chops, and ham shanks, but most diners come for the tender chicken and meaty ribs, both bathed in a mildly tangy barbecue sauce. Sides such […]

A whole slew of tuxedoed servers descend upon the table like some gastronomic SWAT team, leaving behind spicy slices of zucchini, mounds of diced ripe tomatoes laced with olive oil and basil, a basket of Italian bread and focaccia crisps, and flutes of sparkling pink champagne. At this point you might be tempted to say, […]
Clad in white elegance and black lacquer floors, this room is as debonair as one might expect from a Chinese restaurant named Philippe. The space soars with supper-club sophistication, central focal points being a circular bar and a large window that offers peeks into the big, bright, spotless kitchen. The fare is fresh and tasty, […]
People swear by the lamb shwarma and chicken pita sandwiches at Pita Plus. The lamb is shaved off the spit before your eyes and added to your fresh warm pita (whole wheat pitas are also available), then topped with your choice of fresh vegetables, sauces and peppers to create a sandwich that’s uniquely your own […]
Pizza fanatics went wild when Miami’s Pizza Rustica opened an outpost in Lauderdale — this is designer Tuscan pizza, thinly crusted, topped with imaginative combos like spinach and blue cheese, porcini mushrooms, prosciutto, yellow squash, four cheese, and arugula-rosemary-potato. The “campagnola” features sweet sausage, roasted peppers, sweet onions, and plum tomato sauce; the “putanesca” is […]
Romans are masters at creating a style of light, crisp crust topped with gourmet edibles that puts most American versions to shame. Luckily for Miamians, the Roman tradition has been brought to downtown in the form of Pizzarium, an East Flagler Street beacon for hungry cube-dwellers. Organic ingredients, a light and fluffy crust, and utterly […]

Tucked out of sight in a rear corner of this small Asian grocery store is a hidden gem: a glassed-in take-out counter that looks like a miniature version of one of the rotisserie windows you’d expect to find on New York’s Mott Street. And the housemade Chinese barbecue within – hanging ducks, strips of pork, […]
It can take a good restaurant years to mature into a great one. Poblano had the food down pat upon opening in 2006. Since then, it has gone from pat to phat, service has settled into systemic rhythms, and the residents of the area habitually visit for homespun Mexican food with inventive twists. To wit: […]
Pride and Joy was one of the most highly anticipated restaurant openings in Wynwood in 2012. The barbecue eatery is a partnership among Myron Mixon and five South Florida locals — Mike Saladino, Chris Mayer, Paul Thielecke, Jose Santa, and Pablo Cardenas. Mixon, who is known as the “the winningest man of barbecue,” is a […]
This bastion of reasonably priced French cuisine is an oasis in a budding downtown dining area dominated by Italian restaurants. An excellent smoked duck salad or the homemade pté of the week is perfect for a light lunch or a filling starter. For dinner, sliced flank steak with a stirring shallot sauce or one of […]
The cuisine here is firmly rooted in the two titans of the gastronomy in the northwestern provinces of Italy: Piedmont and Lombardy. To wit: exquisitely delicious, fontina-fluffed ravioli drizzled with butter and white truffle oil. And tenderly braised veal with cipollini onions melted in vermouth. And luscious lasagna featuring spinach pasta lightly layered with beef […]

You want risotto with truffle essence? Fuhgeddaboutit. This is a red-sauce joint. The food is not fancy-schmancy northern Italian, or authentically Italian at all. It’s Italian-American, a simple, honest soul-food genre developed a century ago by impoverished southern Italian immigrants. And gregarious chef/owner Marc Randazzo, a former boxer, does it right, just like his grandma […]
You know that feeling of fat-kid disappointment when you’ve hit the midpoint of your frozen-yogurt takedown only to find you’ve run out of toppings? Well, Red Kiwi offers a fix: bottoming, otherwise known as double toppings. Yes, that’s twice the Fruity Pebbles, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, sprinkles, gummy bears, or whatever spoonful you desire in one […]
Some stars shine brighter after they burn out. Recovered from a 1995 fire, the French-rooted New American kitchen sparkles. Among the appetizers, choose from pt
Arturo Lopez has been bringing Colombian food to Miamians since 1974. This, the third locale of his Monserrate Restaurant (the other two are in Doral), brings the food closer to Coral Gables. Housed in a large space mostly devoid of d
