Marhaba is a calm, pleasant dining alternative to the larger, noisier franchised eateries of the Shops at Sunset Place. Begin with the fulsome fattoush salad: a plate of greens tossed with cucumbers, green peppers, radishes, scallions, tomatoes, and pita bread croutons, all splashed in sumac-spiked vinaigrette.

New Chinatown isn’t reinvented Chinese fare, as the name might suggest, but it does feature exquisitely fresh old-time Cantonese cuisine.

This South Miami gem, which chefs Maria Teresa (Tere) Gallina and Nico Martinez unveiled in 2024, turns a tight nine-dish menu into a parade of thoughtful, balanced plates. Each visit feels like a secret you’re […]
Rok:Brgr is South Miamian’s place for quality burgers with a 1920s Chicago post-Prohibition vibe. The dining room is decorated with exposed brick and Edison lights for charm, and an oversize patio is perfect for people-watching on weekend evenings. Go for an Angus beef patty, topped with yellow American cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and pickle […]
It’s hard to believe Miami once had little in the way of freshly baked doughnuts. Then along came Andy Rodriguez and Amanda Pizarro in 2015 with the Salty Donut. These days, on any given weekend morning, sleepy patrons wait in line for a treat (or 12) from this small artisanal doughnut and coffee bar. With […]
