Jimmy’z Kitchen

Jimmy’z Kitchen’s famous mofongo (fried plantains mashed with garlic) has become a foodie rite of passage for many a Miamian. If it’s available, get it – they don’t serve it every day. Otherwise, the Miami Beach outpost of this lauded local chain serves up lunchtime favorites with a Latin flair. Jerked chicken breast salad, Cubano […]

Joe’s Stone Crab

You know Joe’s. The history. The gloriously sweet stone crabs. And, in season, the notoriously long wait for a table. But often overlooked is the consistently good food, the truly professional service, the free parking, the surprising value (except the crabs, which are an extravagance wherever you find them), and the dining room’s stately ambiance. […]

Joe’s Takeaway

Forget about waiting two hours to get a table Joe’s Stone Crab. Savvy insiders know to head next door to Joe’s Take Away, where the stone crabs are packed on ice and the lines are much shorter. Eat in or take your claws (market price) to go. The bustling market features a smattering of tables […]

Jugofresh

Miami’s gone juicing crazy, and South Beach’s Jugofresh has led the charge. This uber-healthy outpost has become the go-to spot for 305’ers looking to adopt a less-risky lifestyle. They create freshly-made organic, raw, vegan, and cold-pressed juices with ingredients like coconut water, almond butter, mango, kale, mint, dandelion parsley, spirulina, agave, cayenne and all kinds […]

Juice & Java

Though “local” is all the rage now, there’s still something to be said for food un-injected with high-fructose corn syrup, AKA “having undergone little or no processing and containing no chemical additives,” AKA, “natural.” There’s also a lot to be said for any natural-foods restaurant that features meat in addition to requisite hippie staples such […]

Juvia

Juvia sits on the penthouse level of the Herzog & de Meuron-designed building at 1111 Lincoln Rd. like a sparkling jewel set in concrete. After a brief elevator ride up, guests step into an open-air dining room with vertical gardens designed by Patrick Blanc and much of the rest of the space defined by nature. […]

K Ramen. Burger. Beer.

Down an ominous black staircase that once led to South Beach’s beloved Bond Street Lounge awaits K Ramen. Burger. Beer., an Asian-inspired oasis that serves among Miami’s best bowls of ramen. Better yet, this manga-inspired joint stays open late. That means fried chicken or pork belly sandwiches and a salmon-skin salad with crisped shards of […]

Katsuya South Beach

At Katsuya, sea urchin, toro, jumbo clams, and kanpachi are a few of two dozen à la carte sushi and sashimi offerings. A platter of the latter brought two to three pieces each of a half-dozen fish: velvety dark bigeye tuna, small squares of salmon, thin fillets of yellowtail and halibut, slices of hokki clam, […]

Kill Your Idol

A statue of Bruce Lee’s karate-ripped body overlooks the bar. A World War II Hindenburg hub floats from the ceiling. An astronaut in a space suit hangs next to a dangling chandelier made of glass bottles. A bearded dude wearing an Hoy Polloy T-shirt scores on the Playboy pinball machine, and chicks in high-waisted black […]

Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel

The Surfcomber is a historic art deco building that now belongs to the Kimpton empire. Located one block from Lincoln Road, it is decidedly close to the action and is sometimes the center of it. You might find more budget-minded family vacationers than party animals. Poolside service means you can have drinks delivered while you […]

Klima Restaurant and Bar

Klima is the latest Spanish restaurant to plant its flag on Miami’s shores. The Catalan cuisine from the Barcelona-bred leadership team revolves around the Josper oven, a hybrid grill/oven/broiler that servers promise imparts the best of the three on young chicken, thick steaks, and slabs of pork ribs. But the broiler’s sear is missing from […]

Kobe Club

The dark room is clad in black leather banquettes and booths, an LCD image of hellish flames licking the back wall, chain links hanging from another, and a thousand or so samurai swords suspended from the ceiling with points dangling downward — the steak house of Marilyn Manson’s dreams. Of course, he could afford it […]
