Corsair Kitchen & Bar

Corsair, celebrity Italian chef Scott Conant’s second Miami restaurant, doesn’t stray too far from home. It’s located in an Aventura resort owned by the same family behind Miami Beach’s iconic Fontainebleau, where his place Scarpetta has been a favorite since opening in 2008. It’s a bit more relaxed here, but that doesn’t mean flip-flops and […]

Côté Gourmet

The space is small (hidden inside an office building, in a way-off-the-tourist-track, zero-glamour locale), and the food is simple – mostly soups, sandwiches, salads, and crepes, plus a few daily specials and more substantial entrées. Prices are luncheonette-level low, but fine-dining niceties – such as house-made breads and pastries – abound. A solid French technique […]

Cotoa

Cotoa is a breath of fresh air on Miami’s dining scene, bringing a level of Ecuadorian cooking the likes of which the city has never seen. Chef Alejandra Espinoza has transformed a cozy 24-seat North Miami space into a culinary journey through the coast, the Andes, and the Amazon. From her “Humita de la Abuela” […]

Cream Parlor

Cream Parlor, a sky blue colored hole-in-the-wall ice cream and cafe place on Biscayne Boulevard, is the progeny of husband-and-wife duo Johnny and Ainsley Tsokos, who dreamed of sharing their favorite foods with the public in a quaint, vintage space. The eatery caters to all diets, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. There are salads and […]

CY Chinese Restaurant

The minute you step into this Sichuan-style North Miami Beach hideaway, your senses fall prey to the overwhelming perfume of rendered beef fat and chili oil. Take, for example, the hot pot, in which beef fat is the central ingredient; the rich, savory aroma is the yardstick by which most Chinese folks judge the quality […]

Dogma Grill

Expect American regional comfort foods, from cheesesteaks to oyster po’boys. Childhood nostalgia and your sweet tooth get sated with old-fashioned sodas. Dogma believes that eating a good hot dog is one of life’s simple, unpretentious pleasures – even vegetarians should be able to join in on the fun.

Duffy’s Sports Grill

Duffy’s is a chain, but the North Miami Beach location stands alone for its uniqueness, service, and sheer square footage. The oversized bar is equipped with a TV screen over every single seat, so you can watch football while your friend can tune into badminton. If you’re on a budget, Duffy’s offers BOGO for most […]

Dynasty Buffet

Buffets can be questionable. After all, who knows how long the kung pao chicken’s been exposed to the unwashed masses coughing, spitting and smearing their way through self-service? But luckily, Dynasty Buffet achieves its aim of hot, fresh and thoroughly edible Asian eats, with none of the ick factor. You can stuff yourself at this […]
