Some of the best falafels in this city are to be found, oddly enough, in Little Havana. Barbar Grill, with a façade that evokes more corner store than dining establishment, serves up Lebanese fare behind a counter that overlooks a stockpile of hookah pipes, shisa tobacco, and packaged Middle Eastern condiments. Fresh falafels ($3.99) are […]

Despite our proximity to the ocean, Miami suffers from a tragic lack of laidback shack-type spots to grab grub and an icy drink (no, Ocean Drive’s overpriced sidewalk cafes don’t count). Luckily, Big Squeeze Juice Bar in North Miami Beach fills in that gaping hole in our dining landscape. The bright, vibrantly painted interior counter […]
Bobby’s Meals is home to an igneous brew of vinegar and chili called escovitch that’s slathered over plump, flaky fillets.

From the exterior, this kosher natural food restaurant/juice bar doesn’t look like any other average smoothie store, and cartoonish posters of buck-tooth bunnies lining the walls make the interior look like a kid’s soda fountain. But the smoothies here could be considered nectar for the casual gourmet: rich and unusual combinations like the “Chilled Lych” […]

Though “local” is all the rage now, there’s still something to be said for food un-injected with high-fructose corn syrup, AKA “having undergone little or no processing and containing no chemical additives,” AKA, “natural.” There’s also a lot to be said for any natural-foods restaurant that features meat in addition to requisite hippie staples such […]
It’s been decades since Sam Konata dished out his first vegetarian meal. These days at his small place, he serves as many fist bumps as he does sweet, sticky slices of vegan banana bread.
