Pasion del Cielo

If you ever find yourself half-naked in a Coral Gables condo at 10 p.m., grinding your teeth and picking your scabs, you have a problem. You need caffeine and you need it badly. But there’s a bigger problem. Your usual supplier, Starbucks, has already closed for the night. Ditto for Barnes & Noble. Even your […]

Pastor at Pascal

Pastor at Pascal – formerly Pascal’s on Ponce – proves that a beloved classic can evolve without losing its soul. The new Basque chef wisely kept Pascal Oudin’s legendary French staples after he retired in 2024, like the Gruyère soufflé and the duck confit, while weaving in Spanish hits such as Galician octopus and Iberian […]

Patagonia Home Made Products

Argentines are known for their arrogance and red meat. At Patagonia, you get plenty of the latter without much of the former. Miami has a glut of Argentine meat factories/steak houses, and most are pricey. But this place in Coral Gables seems to dispense with presentation in favor of substance. Sure, there’s no waiter service […]

PB Station

PB Station is new ground for the restaurant empire helmed by Andreas Schreiner, Jose Mendin, and Sergio Navarro. The self-proclaimed Pubbelly Boys first planted their flag in Sunset Harbour in 2010 with powerful, porky flavors served in hip digs. Recall their gussied-up version of the McDonald’s McRib sandwich dubbed the McBelly. After this initial hit […]

Peacock Garden Resto Bar + Grill

Mismatched wicker and white wrought-iron chairs come complete with cushions in old-lady patterns, and empty bird cages contain fake feathered friends glued to perches. Behind this adorable […]

Pega Grill

Ever crave a traditional Greek meal midday in downtown Miami? Well, Pega Grill, now open on Flagler Street, can satisfy your every Mediterranean desire. It’s a perfect place for a work lunch, too, because there’s WiFi to accompany the delicious dishes. Outside, seats are shaded by large umbrellas, and the inside is clean and cozy. […]

People’s Bar-B-Que

Oak is the wood of choice for barbecuing at People’s, the Overtown restaurant that’s been serving barbecue and soul food specialties for over four decades. The menu includes oxtails, pork chops, and ham shanks, but most diners come for the tender chicken and meaty ribs, both bathed in a mildly tangy barbecue sauce. Sides such […]

Peppy’s in the Gables

Don’t be misled by the vaguely Spanish name — this place is purely Italian. It also looks more like a cottage than a restaurant, which only amplifies the cozy and intimate vibe that makes this romantic little eatery an excellent date spot. While nibbling complimentary roasted-and-mashed garlic spread on crusty bread, enjoy the charms of […]
