Miami Juice

The fruit juices are fine at this juice bar/eatery, which has been an oasis of cool in a rather unhip neighborhood since 1992. The small selection of organic produce, vitamin supplements, and other healthful groceries is also of reliably high quality. What distinguishes this place from the average smoothie shop, though, are its strongly Middle […]

Pane & Vino

The brawny pastaiolo‘s presence in the window display of Pane & Vino serves two purposes: to draw in mesmerized passersby and to assure customers that the South Beach restaurant isn’t kidding about pastas being homemade. Although several tables are set up outside, it’s best to avoid the uncomfortable chairs and noise of Washington Avenue and […]

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.

Planta South Beach

Miami isn’t known as a paradise for vegans, but Planta – a plant-based establishment with a fine-dining ambiance and bespoke cocktail program to match – is the proverbial exception that proves the rule. Better still, it’s sure to please vegans and omnivores alike. Begin with ahi watermelon nigiri, a presentation that will lure the most […]

Plnthouse

Try finding a better lunchtime view than the brilliant blues you’ll see from the patio at Plnthouse, chef Matthew Kenney’s indoor/outdoor snack spot in 1 Hotel South Beach. Once you’re done gawking at the gorgeous surroundings, turn your attention to the menu. Highlights include an iconic avocado toast with shaved veggies and chili oil; a […]

Pura Vida

Let’s say, for hypothetical purposes, you’re on a date with Madonna. She’s great at the whole first kiss thing, but the Material Girl is way too picky about her dinner. She won’t eat food that’s been processed or genetically modified. And don’t even think about ordering something that once lived inside a factory farm. So […]

Screaming Carrots

If you’re skeptical of this place because of its name, don’t be. The food is so tastefully composed it won’t matter if you’re vegan, meat-eater, or pescatarian. It’s all thanks to chef-owner Guy Braverman, just your average Joe who began living a 100 percent plant-based lifestyle three years ago to boost his health. After plenty […]

Shing Wang Bubble Tea Cafe

Shing Wang signals the arrival of Miami’s first all-vegetarian Chinese restaurant and one of its few purveyors of Taiwanese shaved ice and bubble tea. The latter is a milkshake-like beverage made from powdered milk, sugar, tea, and choice of main flavoring ingredient (mango, taro, etc.); viscous pearls of black tapioca pile up in the bottom […]

Soul Tavern

Soul Tavern, a gourmet vegan and vegetarian gastropub in Sunset Harbour, was designed to provide customers with a retreat from their hectic lives. The tranquil interior and picturesque Zen garden beckon diners to linger over their homemade herbal elixirs or craft cocktails rather than stare at their screens. The cuisine is rooted in an ancient […]

Thrive

Thrive is a little vegan/raw food/juice bar tucked within a garden center. Speaking of gardens: The lovely, secluded dining patio is a great place to sit and relax with one of the fresh-squeezed fruit juices and smoothies served ($6); there are a few seats indoors too. The cuisine includes lots of items in quotation marks: […]

Trust & Co.

Trust & Co.’s name pays tribute to the trust and integrity of the early 20th Century. And with that, the Coral Gables restaurant promises to employ the best possible local ingredients without cutting corners. Consequently, the menu changes seasonally, and when chef Pablo Zitzmann and his team can’t find products that meet their standards, they […]

Vegetarian Restaurant by Hakin

OK, so it’s not the most creative name for a vegetarian restaurant, and we have no idea who Hakin is. That said, for meatless Miamians, this place is Mecca. The Rastafarian vegan fare served behind a dull fa
