Morgans

“Modern comfort food” means a slightly jazzed, occasionally Asian- or Mediterranean-inspired lineup of dishes. For instance, there are great panko-crusted cubes of “coconut essence” tofu pooled in apricot-soy glaze. We also liked “little ears” pasta with broccoli rabe and numerous patty pieces of savory homemade turkey sausage; thin but flavorful lentil soup; and double-ribbed organic […]

Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens

Since its opening in 1977, the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens has been a center for Japanese arts and culture in South Florida, with rotating exhibitions in its galleries, tea ceremonies performed monthly in its Seishin-an tea house, an educational outreach program with local schools and organizations, and Japanese traditional festivals celebrated for the public […]

Morro Castle

This place looks like an ugly, unwanted stepsister of El Rey de las Fritas, but it has been serving some of the best Cuban fast food in Miami for more than 50 years. People still flock to the iconic restaurant, which to this day provides car service. You read correctly – you can park your […]

Morro Castle

Since 1966, family-owned Cuban cafeteria Morro Castle has been Hialeah’s source for good, affordable bistec de palomilla, tostones, and moro. This Morro, which is not to be confused with the other Morro on Seventh Street, fries its shoestring potatoes to-order for its version of a frita Cubana. That’s because owner Leo Villalba prides himself in […]

Morton’s The Steakhouse

Handsome, clubby, and corporate, this steakhouse ranks as one of the best chains in the nation. USDA prime meat-eors include the double-cut 14-ounce filet mignon, the 20-ounce New York strip sirloin, and the 24-ounce porterhouse. The hamburger, served at lunch only, is also a beloved creature here, as are the house salad sprinkled with blue […]

Mo’s Bagels & Deli

The big, roomy 160-seat restaurant is more deli than bagel shop – specifically a New York neighborhood “kosher-style” deli. It serves soups, salads, Hebrew National hot dogs, and all manner of smoked fish and deli meats; matzoh brei; challah French toast; delectably sweet, vanilla-infused homemade blintzes; thick wedges of noodle pudding made the old-fashioned way […]

Moshi Moshi

Literally meaning “hello,” moshi moshi is a traditional Japanese greeting that appropriately reflects the warmth and hospitality bestowed on those fortunate enough to stumble on this South Beach sushi spot. A local fave, this ultra-hip, neighborhood restaurant offers more than 175 sushi, sashimi, and teriyaki dishes. So slip off your shoes, slither into a booth, […]

Motek

One of the most delightful Mediterranean restaurants in Miami is Motek, where you can enjoy brunch all day. The menu is so tempting that it’s hard to choose – creamy hummus, kebabs, an Israeli salad, avocado toast – but the “don’t miss” is Motek’s shakshuka, a tangy dish of baked eggs, tomatoes, and peppers served […]
