Early each morning, when most of us are still asleep, the crew of Joanna’s Marketplace is in the kitchen, slicing, dicing, grilling, poaching, broiling, and sauteeing all manner of fresh comestibles. Little bits of smoked ham hocks are being put aside for split-pea soup; tomatoes are simmering into a bisque. Cooks debone chicken breasts that […]
For three decades, John Martin’s Irish Pub was the place to grab a pint of Guinness in Coral Gables. The restaurant and pub, opened in 1989 by friends Martin Lynch and John Clarke, was renowned for its cheery atmosphere, live music, and an annual blowout St. Patrick’s Day celebration. The beloved watering hole closed in […]

If audience participation makes you uncomfortable, you might not be a fit for Just the Funny. But if you’re less than uptight and love to laugh – this hidden gem in Coral Gables will keep those belly laughs coming. An improv group, this hilarious comedic crew comes up with sketches, parodies, music and improvised scenes […]
This Silver Bluff bakery slash restaurant is a Latin-style sweets factory. From birthday cakes to pastelitos de queso, Karlo Bakery’s cases run the gamut of deep fried indulgences and sweet treats. They serve savory, too, with hallacas (Venezuelan tamales) croquetas and sammies galore. And for any given occasion, their display-window worthy cakes are perfecto. Chocolate, […]
Khoury’s is a quiet Lebanese restaurant with a wood paneled interior that, thanks to some unbefitting vinyl booths, looks like it may have been converted from a fast food joint. And despite shy servers, flavorless hummus ($4.50), and super-citrusy tabbouleh ($5.25), it’s got a few things going for it. It’s one of few restaurants in […]
Kojin took the intimacy and inventiveness of its origins as a six-seat pop-up and expanded those elements into a full-fledged Coral Gables restaurant – all without losing its soul. Equal parts creative, hilarious, and kind, chef Pedro Mederos crafts a hyperseasonal, ever-changing menu that fuses Japanese technique with Miami roots, anchored by his now-legendary “Flanigan’s […]

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 […]
The reason La Dorada has been a mainstay of Giralda Avenue for so many a year is the availability and quality of exceptional seafood from Spain. Thrice weekly fish are flown from the ports of Malaga, including merluza (hake), urta (red-band bream), lubina (striped sea bass), cuttlefish (calamarilike), and dorada (royal sea bream). Golden, greaseless […]
The menu hardly breaks away from budget-Italian norms, but when it comes to providing fresh, tasty, uncomplicated fare at an appealingly affordable price, La Gastronomia is as good as it gets. Thin-crust pizzas and fresh pastas don’t disappoint, but two Mediterranean fish, the orata (sea bream) and spigola (sea bass), get flown in every Wednesday […]
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 […]

Upon entering La Taberna Giralda, it appears to be more wine shop than dining establishment, as wooden crates and cardboard cases filled with mostly South American bottles take up the restaurant’s entranceway. Like stage props, they provide the requisite setting and mood – that of a quaintly cluttered, Old World bistro. The atmosphere, in fact, […]
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 […]
