Even if the movie at Regal South Beach a few doors over was more than atrocious, you’ll go home happy after a postshow pizza at Piola, especially if you wash down your pie with the Italian pizzeria’s special frozen limoncello drink, a sort of lemon/vodka sorbet that goes down easy and hits hard. The stylish […]
Pita Loca in South Beach is an Israeli joint where the falafels are filled with warm spice and crunch, the hummus is peerlessly smooth, the shwarma features real roasted lamb, and the salad bar is a smorgasbord of eminently crammable comestibles. Pay the extra buck and get your sandwich on lafa bread, which is larger […]

The “campagnola” features sweet sausage, roasted peppers, sweet onions, and plum tomato sauce; the “putanesca” is […]

Preston’s in the Loews Hotel is one of the few restaurants along the beach with an oceanfront view. Breakfast is a real feast here, with eggs benedict Cubano on tostada bread and chorizo; omelets; and an oatmeal brûlée among the early-bird treats. Expect innovative Mediterranean-inspired American cuisine boasting local ingredients and lots of organic fruits, […]
There’s much more than beef at this inventive New American steakhouse. Guests can also dine happily on creative entrées featuring poultry or on cold-water oysters and other pristine raw-bar selections. That said, the USDA Prime dry-aged steaks are superb, and so are the à la carte sides. They include upgraded versions of steakhouse classics – […]

Patrons can begin by choosing from soups; salads; coal-oven pizzas; oysters; caviar; cocktails of shrimp, crab, or lobster; baked clams; fried bufala mozzarella; antipasti; and one big Kobe meatball with ricotta and a memorable marinara sauce. Entrées include the […]
Aside from the bar area, Provocateur has no roof. Take your drink and sit under the Miami Beach stars, breathe in the ocean-scented air, and meet some sexy people. This place is beautiful.
The quiet block of 20th Street between Purdy and West Avenues in South Beach has given aspiring restaurateurs nothing but headaches. Nowadays, folks are gathering beneath Pubbelly’s high loft ceilings, leaning against the exposed brick walls, and waiting for one of the three dozen seats or dozen barstools to open up. So how did the […]
Jose Mendin, Sergio Navarro, and Andreas Schreiner were far from the first to flirt with the small-plate trend, but their presentation of Asian-inspired snacks at Pubbelly in South Beach proved so popular they’ve since opened Pubbelly Sushi next door. The formula is pretty much the same: tasty, creative food at a good value in a […]

Puerto Sagua has been a South Beach staple since 1962, timelessly serving timeless Cuban comfort food without the frills. From ropa vieja to masitas de puerco, everything on the menu tastes like abuela just carried it to the table from her kitchen. Open daily from early morning to 11 at night, it’s the kind of […]
Let’s say, for hypothetical purposes, you’re on a date with Madonna. She’s great at the whole first kiss thing, but the Material Girl is way too picky about her dinner. She won’t eat food that’s been processed or genetically modified. And don’t even think about ordering something that once lived inside a factory farm. So […]
This off-the-beaten-path (as in off Washington) bar has the beer-hall vibe of a street corner hook-up joint with a touch of South Beach strut. An eclectic mix of music and people sway through what’s usually an elbow-room-only lounge.
