Food Scene Miami
Miami’s dining scene is a runaway train of flavor, innovation, and pure gastronomic entertainment. If you think Miami is just mojitos and vacay brunches, buckle up—this city now boasts some of the most exciting restaurant openings and culinary trends in the country.
Daniel’s Miami in Coral Gables is a steakhouse with swagger, delivering surf-and-turf classics dialed to eleven. Its wagyu tasting experience and locally-sourced seafood take you on a progressive journey through beefy, briny bliss. In Wynwood, AMAVI Miami seduces listeners with its Mediterranean magic, offering pomegranate‑glazed lamb and tableside whole branzino in a setting bathed in brass and greenery—a slice of the Aegean for South Florida. For party seekers, Cru Lounge in Miami Gardens delivers a dance-all-night vibe, brussels sprout fries, and cocktails as colorful as the crowd. Carbone Vino, tucked into Coconut Grove, spins Italian-American comfort with daily wine surprises—and spaghetti bambini for pint-sized pasta fans—while Avalon by Day epitomizes laid-back Miami Beach luxury: think eggs over-easy before the sand, or DJ-fueled weekend brunch with a view.
If you crave steakhouse drama, Sunny’s Steakhouse is back—its new Little River location steered by chef Aaron Brooks electrifies with creative twists: steak tartare on sourdough, agnolotti bursting with blue crab and saffron, and elaborate cocktail service that turns dinner into theater.
