Food Scene Miami

Miami’s dining scene in 2025 is a kaleidoscope of bold flavors, inventive concepts, and globe-trotting culinary talent that shimmies with the rhythm of its diverse neighborhoods. Those hungry for excitement need look no further than the newest arrivals shaking up the city’s gastronomic landscape. Take Ezio’s Steakhouse, for instance, where New York pedigree meets Miami Beach swagger. Helmed by Brandon Hoy and chef Carlo Mirarchi, Ezio’s graces the 72 Park tower, serving up 90-day dry-aged rib steak and whole-roasted John Dory alongside handmade pastas and locally sourced seafood. It’s a steakhouse as sultry as the city itself, melding Italian heart with Miami heat.

Not to be outdone, the Cactus Club Cafe makes its United States debut downtown, flaunting Biscayne Bay views, a moody upscale-casual vibe, and a menu peppered with sushi, burgers, and the legendary Feenie Burger crafted by executive chef Greg McCallum. This Canadian favorite’s Miami outpost promises both comfort and cosmopolitan flair, the kind of spot where a cocktail and a sunset conspire to raise the bar.

Miami Beach sets another standard with Donatella Restaurant at the Orcidea Hotel. Orchestrated by The Nakash Group, famed for The Versace Mansion, and Vida & Estilo Hospitality, Donatella specializes in timeless Italian charm paired with South Florida exuberance. Expect handmade linguini alla vongole, black truffle cacio e pepe, and shellfish risotto amid golden accents and Mediterranean elegance—a feast for all the senses and a toast to the city’s luxurious streak.

Meanwhile, James Beard Award-winning chef Kwame Onwuachi lands in Miami Beach with Las’ Lap, infusing the shoreline with West Indian zest, Trinidadian inspiration, and signature dishes like truffle oxtail Cubans and jerk-rum-glazed lamb. Locally sourced seafood shines at Daniel’s Miami in Coral Gables, where wagyu tasting experiences entice steak aficionados and showcase the best of Florida’s surf and turf bounty.

Design has become Miami’s second language. Restaurants such as Oro, Claudie, and Sunny’s make the 2025 Restaurant & Bar Design Awards shortlist, dazzling diners with celestial rooftop views, golden arches, and interiors that channel everywhere from Palm Beach to the South of France. Aguasal by chef José Andrés stirs the pot with Mediterranean seafood amid immersive interiors, reflecting Miami’s ever-curious palate.

Signature Miami experiences—cocktails as art in Wynwood, sun-soaked beach courtyards, caviar tasting menus—embrace the city’s tropical bounty and multicultural roots. This is a town where mango, spiny lobster, and Cuban espresso are as revered as wagyu beef or black truffle. Festivals, pop-ups, and chef collaborations abound, keeping the city’s culinary pulse thrumming.

Why do food lovers need Miami on their radar? Here, flavors mingle like locals on Ocean Drive, tradition tangoes with trend, and every opening feels like the launch of a new edible adventure. The city’s cuisine is restless, inventive, and fiercely joyful—a moveable feast in neon. Miami’s culinary future is now..
