Kush, the beer and burger joint, can best be described as Lokal’s scrappy little brother. Coconut Grove’s Lokal is the more polished older sibling, while Kush has a younger, edgier feel. But there’s no doubt, whatsoever, that the two restaurants share the same DNA. Kush’s offerings may be small, but there’s something for everyone, with […]
TEMPORARILY CLOSED A sizable portion of the menu at Kyu in Wynwood is prepared on the restaurant’s wood-fired grill using a combination of Asian and American barbecue techniques. The meat is simply prepared with Japanese sea salt and black shichimi pepper and then smoked for 12 to 14 hours. It arrives divided into thick slices […]

The best Cuban restaurant in Miami lives in Wynwood. That’s where La Fama Cafeteria puts out its consistently delicious, always affordable menu of classic meals and daily specials. La Fama consists of a lunch counter, a take-out window, and a small room with a couple of tables. But don’t let the spartan environment fool you […]
It’s often the tiniest of places that go unnoticed for months. Then someone stumbles across them, loves them, and spreads the word so much that the little spaces become booming hot spots. That is exactly what happened to La Latina, a “new” areperia on NE Second Avenue, just east of midtown. Cheese and sweet plantain […]
Honduran cuisine is far from sophisticated, but the homey renditions at this cafe/market are a strong reminder that sometimes the simplest eating is the most satisfying. Numerous generically Latin American items – like the ever-present churrasco – are available, but much of the menu is a Honduras Greatest Hits list for curious foodies. Must-haves include […]

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. The food is fine, but the funky alfresco charm accounts for a large part […]
This indoor/outdoor hodgepodge of a place is named for a small gift traditionally bestowed upon a customer by a merchant, and the moniker couldn’t be more fitting. At this serve-yourself Midtown bar, you pick your craft beer, cheese, and wine, pay at the counter, and then plant yourself in a lawn chair beneath twinkling lights. […]

You’d think more restaurants in this food capital of the Caribbean would know how to fry a green plantain. Yet all too often, they’re too big, too thickly sliced, not ripe enough. And they’re never hot; you find yourself staring at a flavorless, lukewarm pile of plantain pucks. The ones at Laguna always come out […]
Lingering at this egg-centric spot by Kyu’s Steven Haigh and Michael Lewis is made easy. While Laid Fresh’s friendly counter-service team crafts your mouthwatering meal of fresh sandwiches, salads, gluten-free options, and beignets, a colorful communal Lego table keeps you entertained. But the fun doesn’t stop there. This all-day breakfast and brunch spot in Wynwood […]
Foodies the world over are well aware that, quite often, no-frills = best food. Such is the case with Las Delicias Peruanas. Set in Wynwood with a nondescript gray exterior, this little spot serves up some of Miami’s best Peruvian cuisine and seafood favorites. From ceviches of fish, shrimp, octopus, mixed shellfish and more to […]
Much like great fashion houses, the great chefs of the world create restaurants that keep their legacies alive. Although Joël Robuchon died in 2018, his name lives on at this Design District gem that marries the interactive ambiance of Japanese sushi counters with the casual spirit of Spain’s tapas bars and Robuchon’s take on modern […]
