Tony Chan’s Water Club

With its sterile, glassed-in views of Biscayne Bay on one side and the kitchen on the other – and nary a hint of Chinese tchotchkes anywhere – the setting of this upscale old-timer (opened in 1991) seems better suited to slick rubber-chicken fundraising dinners than to ethnic eats. But Chan’s is one of Miami’s best […]

Toro Toro

Toro Toro, located on the left side of the InterContinental Miami’s hotel lobby, features sleek wooden fixtures; an expansive, elegant bar; and a handsome dining room. The cuisine includes dishes within the scope of pan-Latin fare. Desserts include carrot cake, comprising a quenelle of house-made spicy carrot ancho sorbet with tart cream-cheese foam, and a […]

Tutto Pasta

Even with competition high, Tutto is one of the town’s top pie maestros. The crust is made in a brick oven, as all proper pizzas in Italy are made, and tastes like it: thin, crisp but still foldable, and as chewy and delectably flavorful as honest homemade bread; you’ll want to eat even the bare […]

Tuyo

This contemporary American restaurant, known for sweeping views of Biscayne Bay, is situated on the top floor of Miami Dade College’s Miami Culinary Institute. It serves as a training lab for students, responsible for manning the kitchen as line cooks and staffing the dining room. The food is topnotch, though, ranging from foie gras to […]

Verde

Tucked inside the breathtaking Pérez Art Museum Miami is the casual, airy restaurant Verde. It is noted restaurateur Stephen Starr’s third Miami outpost and his third eatery nationwide attached to a cultural institution. Inside the café and on the museum’s patio, ladies who lunch, hipsters, and young families meet to eat after a morning spent […]

ViceVersa Miami

Helmed by acclaimed Miami bartender Valentino Longo, this Italian aperitivo bar in the Elser Hotel downtown opened with authentic Italian cocktails and a selection of pizzas that even nonna would approve of. Here you’ll find Italian influences in every detail, including multiple negroni options, plus three sections stacked with other cocktails. But whatever you order […]

Wok Town

To assemble a main course, begin by choosing either chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, or tofu and vegetables. Cubes of red-tinted roast pork highlighted a fried rice that on a recent visit was barely fried and seemingly unseasoned – yet like the rest of Wok’s fare, it boasts a lightness and freshness not always inherent in […]

Wolfgang’s Steakhouse

You know the evils of red meat and the havoc that cows wreak on the environment, but tonight is a special occasion. It’s worth it, because it’s Wolfgang’s. Here’s how it goes down: Take a seat in a dining room with more mahogany than a Southeast Asian jungle. Demand a table by the window. This […]
