Now in classed-up digs across Biscayne Boulevard from the original site, Danny Serfer’s Blue Collar still takes its cues from the classic American diner. The MiMo District stalwart offers daily specials and elevated comfort foods. Start with a gutsy New Orleans-style dish of shrimp and grits with bacon and Worcestershire-based barbecue sauce, or Hanukkah latkes […]

The strength of this Mex café is the mom-and-pop appeal. Begin with a complimentary basket of crisp yellow corn chips and zesty tomato salsa (a small dish of smooth, mellow guacamole is worth the two-dollar surcharge). A recommended starter is salbutes: small rounds of thick, fried tortillas topped with shredded chicken and a small dice […]

Miami isn’t exactly brimming with great Thai restaurants, which is partly why Cake Thai Kitchen is such a novelty. At the front of the tiny eatery, crammed into a derelict Biscayne Boulevard strip mall, stands a buffet station that offers lemongrass-rubbed roasted chicken alongside roasted rice studded with crisp shallots and fried pork. Sometimes it’s […]

Generous portions of shrimp, conch, and […]

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 […]
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.
