It’s often the tiniest of places that go unnoticed for months. Then someone stumbles across them, loves them, and spreads the word so much that the little spaces become booming hot spots. That is exactly what happened to La Latina, a “new” areperia on NE Second Avenue, just east of midtown. Cheese and sweet plantain […]

Lunch at La Loggia pulsates with the energy of a big-city restaurant, more so than perhaps any establishment in downtown Miami. Only a few basic northern Italian dishes are served, and all are cooked to order, meaning the emphasis is on freshness. The fairly priced food may not inspire, but is it rarely insipid. At […]
Peruvian culinary ambassador Gastón Acurio’s Miami outpost at the chic Mandarin Oriental on Brickell Key merges the humble cevicher
It’s 3 o’clock Saturday morning, and you’ve been out drinking around Brickell. There’s a good chance you’ll be among the other hungry partygoers who flood this small restaurant for a hangover-curing, Colombian-style fast-food fix. But fast food at 3 a.m. is not the only reason people flock here. Weekdays at lunchtime, the humble spot is […]

Honduran cuisine is far from sophisticated, but the homey renditions at this cafe/market are a strong reminder that sometimes the simplest eating is the most satisfying. Numerous generically Latin American items – like the ever-present churrasco – are available, but much of the menu is a Honduras Greatest Hits list for curious foodies. Must-haves include […]
This La Palma is a no-frills West Miami mainstay. Most Magic City natives know it is the place to get churros – basically Latin doughnuts – on a chilly night. And although the cafe con leche is sweet and typically close to perfection, it’s not for dunking. Churros here can be accompanied only by this […]

Since 2017, La Piazzetta has churned out more than two dozen kinds of pies in a space located less than a block north of the Upper Buena Vista complex. Inside, find an Italian-farmhouse setting outfitted with brick and wood walls, wine barrels, and a central pizza oven. At mismatched tables with similarly eclectic chairs, dine […]
Miami is known for many things, but great bread is not among them, at least if you haven’t tried La Provence’s hearty, rustic artisanal breads. There’s more than just bread, too, starting with a wide assortment of pastries, from light, flaky croissants to lovely little fruit tarts. More substantial fare includes a variety of panini […]
Since this French-owned eatery began selling sandwiches, salads, smoothies, and shakes in 1988, a crowd has lingered along the lengthy counter at the flagship location that extends up an alley off 14th Street between Washington and Collins Avenues in South Beach. The food is fine, but the funky alfresco charm accounts for a large part […]

This is Miami, which means our heavily Latin population will never have too many pastelitos, croquetas or arepas. Hence the vast quantity of bakeries lining our city streets. But La Suiza stands out, in part because their homemade pastelitos de queso are better than the norm. As are their cafe con leches and fresh-sqeezed OJ. […]
Like a long-term relationship that’s lost all pretense at passion, you’re probably so over cupcakes. Maple bacon, nutella, beer-infused … you’ve seen all their tricks, and they just don’t arouse you anymore. But one bite of a cupcake from LA Sweets, and it’ll feel like the first time all over again. This Brickell outpost serves […]
