MC Kitchen

MC Kitchen is doing something more honest and genuine than that of other eateries with similar cuisine. In the roasted octopus dish, a large Spanish mollusk is quick-roasted in the Wood Stone-brand oven and then dressed copiously with Tuscan extra-virgin olive oil, fresh red pepper, and garlic. The tentacles are charred quickly, producing an aroma […]

MIA Market

On a cool Friday evening, stylishly dressed crowds scurry up an escalator to MIA Market. The 10,000-square-foot food hall holds a dozen distinct food and drink concepts. The idea is based on the successful flagship of the same name in New Orleans. Try Vietnamese fare from Tran Am, or order up gnocchi-like spinach dumplings called […]

Miam Café

The zebra-striped Wynwood Building is a magnet for sightseers, but until Miam (pronounced MEE-um) opened, the landmark offered visitors little more than a photo opportunity.

Though he has since assembled a small restaurant empire, Michael’s Genuine […]

Larger and more assertively briny Rocky Nooks rest on flatter shells; still, the shuckers here preserve the few drops of savory oyster liquor. The one-page paper […]

Midtown Sports Bar

Midtown Sports Bar sits on a corner lot with hand-painted murals of Miami sports mascots on the walls: Sebastian the Ibis and our famous teal dolphin greet guests before they enter. Inside this rare and much-appreciated sports mecca are pool tables, darts, cheap drinks, and loud music. The large, L-shaped bar itself is worthy of […]
