Rank 3. Tambourine Room By Tristan Brandt

-
Rank 4. Taquiza
Mexican
A former web developer grinds and griddles blue corn tortillas daily, sourcing grain from Midwest farms for tacos of melting lengua and fried mahi. Palm trees frame the North Beach counter where sharp salsas and ocean proximity justify the devoted following.

Rank 9. The Surf Club Restaurant
New American
The Surf Club wraps diners in Art Deco amber—vintage bar, plush banquettes, the careful glamour of a private club that happens to be open to guests. Thomas Keller's Florida debut trades innovation for precision: a crab cake gains spice and freshness, lobster thermidor finds new life through sauce, and the chocolate soufflé, when available, justifies its reputation.

Rank 12. Pao by Paul Qui
Asian
Beneath a gold dome crowned with a Damien Hirst unicorn, Paul Qui's dining room commands the Faena with theatrical grandeur and a short menu that pivots across Asian influences with ease.

Modern French
In Miami's Design District, L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon assembles its signature counter kitchen beneath rosewood and leather, where a bread basket arrives before seared scallops in cilantro broth give way to lamb in eggplant cups. The execution is precise, the plating theatrical, and the final chocolate sensation justifies the pilgrimage.

Rank 16. Sunny's
Steakhouse
A Little River steakhouse where art deco glamour meets casual Florida swagger, the room hums with the kind of crowd that makes you want to linger. The beef speaks for itself, but the bone marrow vinaigrette and schmaltz-fried potatoes suggest a kitchen unafraid of small luxuries.

Rank 17. Hakkasan
Cantonese Chinese
You enter through the Fontainebleau's din into a darkened room of marble and carved wood screens, where bass pulses beneath the clatter of plates. Hakkasan pivots between Cantonese tradition—silken dumplings, lacquered duck—and lighter contemporary turns, scallops curried with lily bulb among them.
-
Rank 18. Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann
Argentine Steakhouse
Francis Mallmann's open-fire Argentine grill inside the Faena Hotel matches its theatrical leopard-print décor with beets buried eight hours under coals. Big proteins and a bustling bar sustain the intensity of the room.

Korean Steakhouse
A neon corridor thrums with bass as you enter this Korean steakhouse, where aged beef gleams in a display room like precious inventory. Simon Kim's team moves through the room with practiced ease, seasoning each dish with precision and guiding diners through cuts of marbled beef, stews, and a kimchi Wagyu paella that justifies the ceremony.

Ecuadorian Peruvian
Chef Alejandra Espinoza builds her North Miami dining room around Ecuador's rhythms and flavors, with warm light and curated music setting the tone. Mahi mahi arrives suspended in a silken coconut-ginger sauce with crisp watermelon radish; cassava croquettes and chicken tortellini follow with similar precision. The cooking feels generous without fuss, rooted in something real.

Mediterranean
A whitewashed courtyard rimmed with mature trees and orchids sets the scene at this Aegean bistro, where mezze and grilled fish sandwiches anchor a menu rooted in Turkish and Greek tradition.

Rank 35. Boia De
Contemporary Italian
Between a laundromat and medical center, a neon-pink door opens onto a forest-green dining room where chefs Luciana Giangrandi and Alex Meyer blur Italian tradition with playful invention.

Wood-fired New American
The team from Boia De sets up shop in a corner spot fueled entirely by wood fire, where vegetables claim surprising prominence on a playful menu. Carrot tartare with carrot top salsa and mustard green pasta sheets stuffed with lamb ragù show restraint and wit, while charred quail captures backyard barbecue at its best. It's casual enough for families, refined enough to matter.

Wood-fired Pizza
Little River's La Natural draws crowds with wood-fired pies built on a cold-fermented crust, topped with everything from za'atar to burrata, in a concrete bunker lit like an underground party.

Rank 45. Michael's Genuine
New American
A Design District mainstay where the well-heeled mingle with anyone seeking seasonal cooking executed with restraint. Michael Schwartz's kitchen works the wood-fired oven and house-made pastas with equal authority, while the lush courtyard—strung with fans and heat lamps—has become as much a fixture of Miami dining as the food itself.

Italian
A cramped dining room of tufted leather and a covered patio draws locals nightly to this Italian spot. The kitchen excels at house-made pasta—silken spaghetti with tomato, cacio e pepe—while an Italian-forward wine list and infused grappas anchor the bar. Tiramisu arrives reinterpreted with dulce de leche and sea salt espresso granita, a small gesture toward Miami that feels earned.

Rank 61. Stubborn Seed
Contemporary New American
Chef Jeremy Ford's corner restaurant commands attention with a glass-fronted kitchen and industrial-chic room where Latin and Asian impulses collide across an ambitious tasting menu. Celery root croquette with beef bacon jam gives way to ricotta gnudi with Manchego foam; a five-acre farm in Redland supplies much of the produce. The cooking trades in controlled risk—bold without losing itself.

Bakery
A color-splashed storefront in Wynwood announces baker Zak Stern's return home, where Swedish and Israeli apprenticeships inform his kosher breads and pastries. Avocado toast and crispy fish on brioche draw steady crowds, but the seasonal concha—burnished, pillowed—justifies a visit on its own.
