The Most Exciting Places to Eat in Miami Right Now

"The best restaurants in Miami are nothing to sneeze at, even if the city is better known for its legendary nightlife scene and penchant to party. Even before big hitters like Marcus Samuelsson set up shop serving world-class seafood steps away from Miami's bustling shore, the city laid claim to some of the best Cuban food anywhere off the island."

"Instead of seeing the glamorous partying and exciting culinary prospects as mutually exclusive, Miami tends to marry the two in buzzy see-and-be-seen spots, though there's no shortage of stylishly understated hideaways if that's more your speed. And in a culinary landscape where the tectonic plates are constantly shifting, we like to think of our list of the best restaurants in Miami as a spotlight on the diverse plates we find ourselves returning to, again and again."

Miami's restaurants deliver high-quality dining that complements the city's legendary nightlife and party culture.

A steady flow of restaurant openings has expanded culinary wealth and elevated neighborhood profiles, notably the Miami Design District, as food destinations. Dining options range from buzzy, see-and-be-seen venues to stylishly understated hideaways, providing choices for varied preferences. The culinary landscape remains dynamic, highlighting diverse plates that encourage repeat visits.
