Rank 3. Zitz Sum
Asian
Pablo Zitzmann's dumpling pop-up evolved into this Coral Gables ground-floor restaurant, where a Colombian chef fearlessly blends Asian and Italian influences. Dishes like charred cabbage with Fresno chili butter and shrimp har gow with tamarind-black garlic chutney prove the cooking's gutsy originality.

Rank 4. Shingo
Sushi
Chef Shingo Akikuni commands a 14-seat counter in Coral Gables with the ease of someone orchestrating an intimate dinner, his knife work decisive and his rice vinegar sharp.

Rank 5. L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon
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.

Cuban
In Little Havana, Michelle Bernstein and Julio Cabrera have built a place where live music and layered history—Cuban and Miami-Cuban—animate the room as surely as the food.

Rank 10. Kojin 2.0
Contemporary Japanese
Pedro and Katherine Mederos return with a menu that marries Japanese sensibility to contemporary technique—foie toast on rye gives way to bone marrow panna cotta with house-made coffee shoyu, goat cheese cavatelli in butternut squash, creamsicle ice cream. The cooking is unafraid of contrast, balancing risk with genuine approachability across tasting menus and a la carte alike.

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.

Vietnamese
A husband-and-husband team runs this Vietnamese supper club near downtown with no pretense and plenty of verve: fish sauce caramel wings, lamb lettuce wraps, tamarind pork ribs designed for fingers rather than forks, and a cashew cheesecake with passionfruit. There's a hidden karaoke machine too. Come as you are.

A neon corridor thrums with bass as you enter this Korean steakhouse, where aged beef gleams in a display room like precious inventory.

American
A black-walled room lit by candles and a glowing bar forms an unlikely stage for Michael Beltran's uncompromising cooking. Anchovy mousse fills the Caesar croutons; handmade agnolotti cradle venison bolognese; the schnitzel arrives plate-wide with salsa verde and a fried egg. The menu refuses easy categorization, and so does the place itself.

Behind an unmarked Wynwood door that requires a code, Chef Seijun Okano composes spare, deliberate omakase from fish flown in multiple times weekly, each piece pressed into rice he tempers at the start of service.

A booklined café tucked into Coral Gables where coffee and Cuban sandwiches anchor the mood.

Barbecue
Pitmaster Bill Durney's warehouse outpost sits amid the controlled chaos of Miami's produce district, all soaring ceilings and open flame. The beef rib arrives a crust of salt and char; the brisket melts across the plate with the confidence of something smoked for hours. It's Texas barbecue transplanted wholesale, with Miami touches—a yucca bowl, brisket queso—that don't upend the mission.

Rank 40. Mandolin Aegean Bistro
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.
