Fado Irish Pub

Fado Irish Pub isn’t your typical beer joint – it’s probably one of the best-staffed bars in Miami-Dade. Everywhere you turn, there’s someone there to take your order. Located in busy Mary Brickell Village, the pub is a great place to meet for happy hour drinks or to watch a rugby game. The cavernous space […]

Farolito

This quaint restaurant serves, among other Peruvian specialties, ceviche for the soul, and it’s soaked in just the right amount of lemon juice. Be prepared to reach altiplano heights (even though it’s seafood) with the ceviche mixto, a combination of tender pink shrimp, fresh fish, succulent octopus, and savory squid that rests on a bed […]

Feverish Pops

On a sweaty summer day in Miami — nothing beats a popsicle. Pair it with booze and it’s even better. This is the brilliance of Feverish Pops, a Midtown Miami shop selling up boozy sweet treats (and alcohol-free, for the kiddos). And at 130 calories or less, they’re hot bod-friendly, too. Try their peanut butter […]

Fi’lia

Pasta dishes, wood-fired pizzas, seafood, and steaks in a modern setting at the SLS Brickell.

Finka Table & Tap

Siblings Eileen and Jonathan Andrade descend from Miami dining royalty. Their grandparents founded Islas Canarias, the shrine of Cuban comfort food revered for its croquetas. Their parents carried on that tradition. It was on the sage advice of Mom and Dad that Eileen and Jonathan opened Finka Table & Tap – employing a funky spelling […]

Fiorito

An Argentine-inspired gem awaits in Little Haiti, identifiable by an unmistakable welcome sign: the towering mural of soccer icon (and newly minted South Floridian) Lionel Messi above the entrance. Soccer is a major theme here – the name itself is a homage to Argentine legend Diego Maradona’s city of birth. It’s a relaxed and inviting […]

Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop

Years ago, Derek Kaplan was a real-life Miami fireman who made pies with his dad on the weekends. The pies, baked in an industrial kitchen in Wynwood and sold from a food truck and a pizzeria in Coconut Grove, were a sensation. Now Kaplan is one of Miami’s most sought-after bakers, making pies for some […]

Firito Taco & Bocce

Firito Taco is restauranteur Alfredo Patino’s third restaurant and his second on 79th Street. It’s a neighborhood he’s betting on. He moved there a few years ago and in 2014 opened the no-frills bar Tap 79, serving a slate of local suds and smart pub grub like crisp saffron risotto balls. Firito steps up with […]

Fish Fish

Fish Fish in North Miami occupies the same strip mall as a bank, a dry cleaner, and a pizza place. Despite its ordinary setting, though, this seafood restaurant is beyond quirky. Take the Baja fish tacos. Tucked into warm tortillas, grilled strips of grouper are perfectly cooked and covered in the expected pico de gallo. […]

The Fish House

There are a few types of restaurants that are virtually impossible to find in Miami-Dade County, including (1) a Chinese restaurant featuring a tank filled with swimming seafood that diners can eat, not just watch, and (2) any place with genuine fried Ipswich clams. Sadly, real New England fried clams are not to be found […]
