From the get-go, La Moderna has offered a different kind of Italian — not pizza or pasta, but the florally, astringent cocktails becoming increasingly popular in Rome. Smartly mixed libations hide behind kitschy names like Thelma & Louise and Dr. Strangelove. The former blends hibiscus-infused Aperol with smoky Brugal rum, fresh strawberries, coconut soda water, […]

Despite the belief that they sprung from Yankee Stadium, hot dogs actually trace their lineage a little further back. And Columbians might have it over Sabrett’s. Their “perros” are fatter, juicier, and OH, the toppings! Miami Beach’s La Perrada De Edgar offers up a whole host of weineriffic options, from the Swiss dog (cheese sauce, […]
This South Pointe haunt recreates the leisurely French Riviera via an elegant, open-air beach club ambiance. Half the tables are set on a tiled floor under a white canopy awning; the rest sit in sand and are shaded by bright orange umbrellas. Warm, crusty bread in a cloth-covered basket arrives first and goes hand-in-hand with […]
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.

No day in Miami would be complete without the smell of caf
As soon as you hop out of your car in the parking lot next to Las Vacas Gordas (translation: the fat cows), you’ll smell the hot grill. For avid carnivores, the Normandy Isle Argentine parrilla offers one-pound servings of red meat along with chitlins, blood sausage, chorizo, and vegetables cooked on the grill. A huge […]
French food cravings aren’t so easy to quash in Miami, where you’re much more likely to find fritas than frites. But Miami Beach’s Le Gusto Bistro and their French owners are the real deal.

Lee & Marie’s Cakery Company is situated in a lovely setting, but it lacks an obvious essential: a large-scale oven. The locale relies on an off-site production facility in Wynwood that sends foods to South Beach twice a day. But a sampling of pastries on two occasions revealed a lack of freshness: Baked doughnuts were […]
