The Federal Food Drink & Provisions

Locals flock to this eatery for creative and distinctive food and drinks in a relaxed and rustic setting. The Federal’s distinctiveness cannot be overstated: You won’t see crispy omassum tripe with barbecue powder and maple-syrup dipping sauce; jar-o-duck with candied sweet potatoes and charred marshmallow fluff; or Buffalo-style pig wings just anywhere. The so-called wings […]

The River Oyster Bar

Don’t sleep on one of Miami’s best seafood restaurants. Located in the heart of Brickell for more than two decades, the River Oyster Bar is one of Miami’s top happy-hour spots for busy professionals and locals alike. The menu offers modern twists on classic seafood dishes – and a reprieve from the Miami heat in […]

The Spillover

The Spillover is more than just a good time. It’s also polished, with managers sporting tailored suits and an extensive list of entrées riding alongside all the sandwiches. Try a whole fish, often supplied by whatever the spearfishermen from Trigger Seafood are catching, or grab one of the 15 daily orders of barbecued gator ribs. […]

Three x Social

At Three, Mango Gang legend Norman Van Aken cooks his signature Florida-fusion cuisine in a sleek and tropical space. The staff is disciplined, and the food is topnotch. But even more spectacular is the space. It’s outfitted with midcentury-modern furnishings such as royal-blue velvet chairs and gold-trimmed black tables. They’re streamlined and allow for diners […]

Threefold Cafe

This all-day breakfast spot was created by Melbourne transplants Teresa and Nick Sharp, who wondered why a café of its kind wasn’t already a Miami staple. The locally grown restaurant has quickly gained popularity and now boasts three locations. The menu includes classic items such as eggs, made with fried eggs, house-baked beans, spinach, bacon, […]

Tira D. Toss

Tira D. Toss embodies the blending of cuisines reflected in the name, an odd spelling for “tiraditos” (raw fish in a spicy sauce). What resulted is a humble gem with a lengthy list of treats that, like the restaurant itself, hides in plain sight. The Peruvian sushi rolls are the menu’s biggest attention-grabbers. The Rolls-Royce […]

Tobacco Road

Tobacco Road’s claims to fame are numerous: Oldest bar in Miami. Ex-downstairs neighbor to Miami New Times‘ first office space. Greatest outdoor seating this side of South Beach. Now, thanks to a recent revamp that left the nicotine-stained, beer-soaked ambiance but added some gleam to the indoor stage, the Road can add another accolade to […]

Tobacco Road by Kush

When Tobacco Road closed in 2014, more than a century of Miami drinking history went poof. The “Road” had many lives, serving as a brothel, a bakery, and a place where every major blues artist played (as did a ton of minor ones). So it only makes sense that this legend got a new life, […]
