Despite the masses of marinas across Miami, most of us aren’t boat owners. Hell, how many of us even own our cars? But it’s hard to take advantage of everything this city has to offer without a seaworthy craft. No matter. You can always opt into a watercraft for an hour, an afternoon or an […]
Chef Michael Beltran’s Ariete adds an air of refinement to Coconut Grove not seen since the days when industrialist James Deering caroused its shores. Ariete serves dishes like foie gras with smoked plantains, but there’s something more than fancy amid the elegance offered by Beltran, who trained under chefs Norman Van Aken and Michael Schwartz. […]
Bizcaya’s meu encompasses two soups (including a decent gazpacho with crabmeat), two salads (citrus lobster and blackened tuna Nicoise), five appetizers (try the succulent scallops with polenta cake and lemon-truffle vinaigrette), and a number of entr
What began as a mom-and-pop 30-seater has grown into an Indian-food mainstay with locations in Coconut Grove, Doral, and Fort Lauderdale. Diners crunch on crisp papadum wafers while watching Bollywood movies on a large screen and perusing the menu. That list is lengthy, but at its heart are the tikkas, tandooris, and vindaloos that fans […]
Carbone Vino is the high-end Italian restaurant by Major Food Group that Coconut Grove needed, offering the brand’s signature glamour without the exclusivity of its South Beach counterpart.

If you can take your eyes off the mouthwatering menu, you’ll be blown away by the Chart House’s brilliant views of Biscayne Bay and the downtown Miami skyline. Long regarded as one of the city’s premier restaurants, this Coconut Grove establishment is the perfect place for a romantic dinner. The crab-stuffed mushrooms and award-winning New […]
Michael Beltran distinctly remembers the day he got his nickname. It was his first day as a high school freshman; Beltran walked in late to class, a chocolate milk chug in hand. Today, Chug is the name of the restaurateur’s Cuban-American diner, a successful pop-up he’s since expanded into a permanent, full-service eatery and modern-day […]
Desire leads to desserts. Or at least that’s how Gustavo Sidelnik first began to make gelato. One day in Italy, Cupid pricked him hard with an arrow of amore when Sidelnik caught sight of a beautiful bombshell named Rosa lounging at the counter of her father’s gelateria. Dumbstruck, Sidelnik strolled in and begged the owner, […]

Fresh Market looks like an old-time general store with better lighting housed in swank digs right alongside Biscayne Bay. Tranquil music and aromatic produce seize your senses as soon as you enter (and, hey, the make-your-own-six-pack-of-beer cooler is definitely engaging), but the island in the center of the store is where the finest array of […]
Georges Eric Farge’s frenetic personality is familiar to anyone who has had the pleasure of dining at Le Bouchon du Grove, where he held court as chef, partner, and dining room trouvère. His infectious spirit nowadays permeates his own eponymous restaurant. George’s keeps menu items to a manageable size: five starters, three salads, three pizzas, […]

Clean design characterizes this simple joint’s appeal. During the day, sunlight fills the two room interior. At dusk, the comfortable porch is the perfect place for a cool drink. And at night the small bar is a good place to grab a seat, chat up your neighbor, or watch the game on the flat screen […]
You can watch executive chef Jorge Sanchez and his kitchen crew at work in a gleaming stainless-steel kitchen; the rest of the tastefully appointed space is bathed in beige, gracefully draped, and soothingly illuminated. Don’t miss the suckling baby pig, well-spiced and succulently confited in its fat until the crust absolutely crackles. Bouncy baby lamb […]
