Carmen the Restaurant

Simply, chef/owner Carmen Gonzalez’s new place is the most exciting restaurant to open in South Florida in years. The eatery is actually three distinctly different experiences in one: regular restaurant, chef’s dining room, and casual European-style wine bar with some unusually sophisticated bottles, 14 available by the glass, and an absolutely knockout menu of bar […]

Carpaccio

This longstanding anchor tenant of the upscale Bal Harbour shops is beloved by locals and tourists alike for its affordable and unpretentious Italian fare and flawless service. From the moment you sit down (preferably you snag a spot on the lovely outdoor terrace), the staff brings a rack to hang your jacket, shopping bags, and […]

Casa D’Angelo

Angelo and Denise Elia have run Casa D’Angelo for more than two decades. It’s often the first restaurant locals think of for birthdays or anniversaries, entertaining out-of-town guests, and Friday-night dates – and for good reason.

Casa Juancho

One of the very first Spanish restaurants — and longest-standing — in the Magic City, Casa Juancho has a reputation that precedes itself. Large parties and families gather here for graduations, birthdays, and anything else worth celebrating. And why wouldn’t they? Guitarists serenade guests with old-school Spanish tunes inside this cozy restaurant, which feels authentically […]

Casa La Rubia Brewery & Pub

In early 2024, Wynwood Brewing and Veza Sur Brewing Company joined forces, merging two of Miami’s original craft breweries under one roof. To cap off this new chapter, in December Veza Sur rebranded as Casa La Rubia, in honor of Wynwood Brewing’s iconic La Rubia Blonde Ale. Today, Casa La Rubia proudly produces and pours […]

Casa Lario’s

Though Casa Larios’ claim to celebrity fame is that Gloria Estefan launched her career here, the real draws are the close-to-homemade Cuban staples. Dishes include ample servings of fried pork, roast chicken, and rice and beans. The moist, sweet plantains are actually better than many an abuelita’s home cooking. (But don’t tell her!) Regulars like […]
