Daniel’s Miami

Daniel’s Miami might have just opened in July 2025, but it quickly locked in a New Times Top 100 spot thanks to its flawless hospitality, stunning atmosphere, and chef Daniel Ganem’s passion poured into every plate. The Coral Gables newcomer (he also holds down the fort at Daniel’s, a Florida Steakhouse, in Fort Lauderdale) took […]

Eating House Miami

As one of Miami’s first true pop-up restaurants, Eating House stands as a culinary gem not just for its creative riff-style menu, but also for its ability to pivot and expand without losing sight of its ethos: delivering simple, well-executed fare. When Miami native and Chopped champ Giorgio Rapicavoli opened in 2011, the popular Coral […]

El Bocaito

The term tapas derives from the Spanish verb tapar, “to cover.” This jibes with at least one history of tapas, which has it that the snack originated as pieces of bread that Andalusians placed atop their sherry glasses to prevent fruit flies from diving in. Sometimes meat, such as ham or chorizo, were used as […]

El Brazo Fuerte Bakery

Picture it. Cuban women with pens in their hair running back and forth behind windows filled with pastelitos and bocadito party trays that make you salivate. As you attempt to push through the crowd of hungry patrons, you rip a ticket from a number machine on the counter, and then someone shouts, “

El Carajo International Tapas & Wine

Some of the best tapas in Miami can be found in a gas station convenience store at the corner of South Dixie Highway and SW 17th Avenue. Past the shelves of motor oil, sodas, and potato chips, you’ll find El Carajo, a thoroughly charming wine and tapas bar that offers a 2,000-bottle wine list and […]

El Nuevo Siglo Supermarket

When it comes to Latin cafeterias, Miami takes a back seat to no American city. Heck, we probably have more of them than New York has McDonald’s restaurants. And we should be thankful for this, especially for the gems of the genre such as El Nuevo Siglo Supermarket in Little Havana. The brightly illuminated, family-owned […]

Fiola

Coral Gables mainstay Fiola is a beautiful fine-dining experience with classic Italian fare in Coral Gables. A spinoff of Chef Fabio Trabocchi’s Michelin-starred spot in D.C., the Coral Gables Fiola boasts a Michelin recommendation, and after one meal there curated by executive chef Daniel Ganem, it’ll be obvious why. Though anchored in rich tradition and […]

Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Like the West Coast’s renowned family-owned In-N-Out Burger chain, East Coast eatery Five Guys (whose original family-owned restaurant opened in 1986, nearly 40 years after I-N-O) has retro 1950s décor and serves a limited specialized menu centering on hand-formed fresh – never frozen – burgers, and fries made from fresh potatoes. But there are differences, […]

Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse

A glance around the grand 6,700-square-foot restaurant confirms beef is the main attraction here: prime, corn-fed, USDA, aged up to four weeks, cut into portions, salted and peppered, and broiled at 1,600 degrees. They have the process down pat, which shouldn’t be a surprise – the Gables outpost is the 32nd location. Fleming’s focuses on […]
