Sultan Mediterranean Cuisine

Loud blaring house music accompanies your hummus at this storefront Mediterranean restaurant/pizza shop. What makes this restaurant so popular (and it’s always busy), is the close proximity to all the expensive hotels and lounges on this northern strip of South Beach, and the fact that it’s nearly always open. It’s the cheapest place to get […]

Sushi by Bou

Follow the hostess through the tall black gates of Villa Casa Casuarina on Ocean Drive, into the courtyard, then upstairs to a pair of heavy wooden doors. Behind them: a dark space with a wooden vaulted ceiling crisscrossed by intricately inlaid beams. This is Italian designer Gianni Versace’s former suite, converted into a Japanese speakeasy […]

Sushi Garage

Husband and wife Jonas and Alexandra Millan like to joke they were forced to open Sushi Garage so they’d have a place to eat Japanese food in Miami Beach that’s neither too expensive nor too experimental. Searching for a simple California roll? Sushi Garage does the staple justice. They offer both mock crab and king […]

Swizzle Rum Bar & Drinkery

The management team behind the much-missed Employees Only Miami is behind this intimate space, which pays homage to the beloved spirit of the Caribbean: rum.

Sylvano

A young, attractive, and spirited crowd fills Sylvano every night. They come for the lively scene, dependable Italian fare, and truly budget prices. Pastas, for instance, run $8 to $12 and include a toothsome lasagna with Bolognese-style beef, and orecchiette with tender cubes of eggplant, grated ricotta salata cheese, and a pleasantly neutral tomato sauce. […]

Talula

When Talula opened in June 2003, its culinary style could have been labeled “cutting-edge comfort food” (chef/owners Frank Randazzo and Andrea Curto-Randazzo call it “creative American cuisine”). Influences remain the same — some dishes based on Asian ingredients, others invoking the Mediterranean or American Southwest. Most entr

Tantra Restaurant & Lounge

This restolounge’s sex-centered gimmickry (supposedly aphrodisiac food, a grass-covered floor, belly dancers, soft-core porn flicks) might be dated, but its perennially packed Monday and weekend club nights suggest there are still many people who want to party like it’s 1997. Although some of the sensual stuff plays havoc with the concept of fine dining (DJ […]

Located on bustling Alton Road at the corner of 11th Street, Tanuki brings the spirit and flavors of Asia to South Beach with its flagship United States location.
