Market at Momi Oyster & Raw Bar

If you ever want to nerd out on bivalves, head to Market at Momi. “Oysters should be eaten within two minutes of being shucked,” says owner and ramen whiz Jeffrey Chen. “After two minutes, bacteria from the air infiltrates the oyster, and it’s not the same.” You know Chen. Around the corner at Momi Ramen, […]

Monty’s Raw Bar

You haven’t lived in Miami until you’ve spent an afternoon sucking down a cocktail while gazing at a cotton-candy sunset at Monty’s. The Coconut Grove institution has seen a half-century of Miamians flock to the dockside restaurant for happy hour and tropical vistas. But no trip to Monty’s is complete without a round of “Pain […]

Monty’s Sunset

Monty’s has been an institution in the 305 for as long as most locals can remember. It once dominated the chi-chi restaurant scene but then lost its luster after real gourmands moved to town. This is not to say dinner at Monty’s is akin to eating at Applebee’s, but it’s pretty close and definitely more […]

Mrs. Mac’s Kitchen

The paradise most tourists seek in Key West is actually on the way there. At the late Laura Quinn’s Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center, native and migratory birds that have lost their way or gotten snagged on fish hooks are repaired and released. On a boardwalk and trail, you can walk among more than 400 species […]

My Ceviche

My Ceviche brings in whole fish from local waters and prepares them on the premises – that’s really what makes the ceviche and other items here better than those at most other seafood places. Whether you select shrimp, octopus, or the local fish du jour, and whether you go medium or large, and whether you […]

My Ceviche

In April 2012, My Ceviche opened in South Beach to immediate success and critical acclaim by way of business partners/owners/operators Roger Duarte and chef Sam Gorenstein. Fans flocked to the 240-square-foot flagship, prompting the duo to open the 900-square-foot Brickell location a year later. My Ceviche South Miami and then My Ceviche Coral Gables soon […]

Niu Kitchen

In 2017, Katrina Iglesias, Adam Hughes, and chef and Barcelona native Deme Lomas opened Arson two doors down from their first venture, Niu Kitchen. The two restaurants have since been combined in order to accommodate more outdoor seating. Here, the centerpiece is a Josper – a charcoal-burning grill/oven hybrid that abets Lomas’ gastronomy. Whiffs of […]

Ocean’s Ten

At this tourist-oriented Ocean Drive restaurant, the food can be pricey, except for the breakfast specials, which cost as low as $4.75. Notable dishes include the king lobster tail ($58.95 for one pound) – which is steamed and served with garlic, sage mashed potatoes, drawn butter, and seasonal fresh vegetables – and the Buffalo wings […]

The Oceanaire Seafood Room

With its elegantly sweeping curves, polished wood finishes, horseshoe-shape booths, and big band tunes billowing through the air, the warmly illuminated, 290-seat Oceanaire exudes the sophistication and glamour of a 1930s luxury cruise liner. Guests are treated accordingly, meaning first-class service all the way. Ceviche, clam chowder, shrimp cocktail, and sassy salads are all prepared […]

Old Lisbon Restaurant

Old Lisbon opened its doors in January 1991 with an open-kitchen concept and authentic Portuguese cuisine, and it’s been a staple neighborhood restaurant on Coral Way ever since. An open kitchen accents the modern yet rustic dining room, and dishes such as carne de porco a alentejana give diners a chance to taste the unexpected […]

Palat

Italian eatery Palat opened in January 2018. Chef/owner Pippo Lamberti offers a small but robust selection of plates, including charred octopus with artichoke and rosemary pesto and beet ravioli complemented by goat cheese and hazelnuts. Lamberti, who hails from a family of restaurant owners in the Northeast, worked at Café Boulud in Palm Beach before […]

The indoor seating area with floor-to-ceiling windows is small, thus encouraging diners to eat outside and enjoy the breezy scenery. It’s open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and menu selections are diverse. There are traditional Peruvian dishes like […]
