Best Restaurants in Miami (2026)

Miami's restaurant scene reflects the city's mix of cultures, and the best way to eat well is to combine a few classics with some of the newer kitchens. For Cuban food, Versailles has served Calle Ocho since 1971 and stays open late, while Sanguich de Miami is a Bib Gourmand favourite for Cuban sandwiches. On Miami Beach, Joe's Stone Crab has been serving since 1913 and is the classic place for stone crab claws in season.

For special occasions, Michelin-recognised options include Ariete in Coconut Grove, Boia De's contemporary Italian cooking on NE 2nd Avenue and COTE Miami, a Korean steakhouse in the Design District. Nearby, Mandolin Aegean Bistro and Michael's Genuine Food and Drink are relaxed mid-priced choices, Garcia's serves whole yellowtail snapper on the Miami River, and Taquiza makes tortillas from corn nixtamalised in house. Book ahead for dinner at the smaller and starred restaurants, especially at weekends and in the busy winter season, and check whether a service charge is already included on your bill before adding a tip.
