For seven decades, Fox’s Sherron Inn was Miami’s dark bar: a place to drink martinis, canoodle with a secret paramour, or forget your troubles with (or without) a buddy. Fox’s closed in July 2015, but Lost Boy & Co.’s Chris Hudnall and Randy Alonso (see also Tropezón and Brother’s Keeper) have reconstituted the joint as […]

When Whole Foods seems too overwhelming or impersonal, head to cozy market-bistro Gardner’s Market to pick up imported beluga and a latte or a scone.

For decades, University of Miami students have been trying to dupe the bouncers at this Celtic-themed tavern within walking distance of campus. Yet no matter how closely they resemble their older cousin’s expired driver’s license photo, the bouncer, propped on his stool outside the double doors, inevitably refuses to let them in.

KokoRiko ain’t McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, or Starbucks. It is, more or less, a Colombian KFC. The space is brightly lit, and the small, simple menu offers family meals. Choices include quarter-chicken platters (fried or rotisserie white or dark meat or chicken tenders) with a side of white rice and one of many sides (ranging from […]
Yup, it’s that same old cliché: a cute little café in a big ol’ shopping mall. Or rather, in a big ol’ parking garage. Located on the ground floor of Dadeland Station, next to a Romero Britto sculpture, Lan’s pan-Asian fare is the perfect antidote to the surrounding chain stores. Items range from sushi to […]
Despite the plethora of delicious pastelitos to be found at Miami’s 4,587 Latin bakeries – there are still certain sweet treats only the French have been able to master. Think baguettes and pan au chocolat (chocolate croissant). Le Royal French Bakery is South Miami’s go-to boulangerie/patisserie, with all that you’d expect from a French bakery […]
