The Top 30 Restaurants in Coral Gables
The best restaurants in Coral Gables, by the professional record: AAA, Michelin Guide, and The New York Times have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Zitz Sum comes out on top.
Vinya Table and Tinta y Cafe hold the next two places. Miami New Times shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with Michelin Guide next.
-
Dim sum from a chef who treats borders as loose suggestions, set inside a ground-floor office building in Coral Gables that looks like it should house a dentist. The dumplings started as a pop-up and earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand and a James Beard semifinalist nod before finding a permanent home here. The cooking pulls from China, Japan, and Italy in the same breath, and somehow it coheres. A Niman Ranch short rib filling alongside charred cabbage in chili butter will tell you more than any summary.

Rank 3. Tinta y Cafe
Cuban
Bookshelves line the glass façade, which is either a design choice or a very strong hint about the vibe. This Cuban cafe in Coral Gables does cafe con leche, pastelitos, and sandwiches in a room full of mid-century furniture, with palm tree shade outside if you prefer. The Cubano is the thing to order. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, which means the ratio of quality to price is doing real work here.

Rank 4. Kojin 2.0
Contemporary Japanese
Foie toast, a round of goose liver ganache on rye with a dot of strawberry preserves, sets the tone at this contemporary Japanese fine dining room in Coral Gables. The chef team behind the original has rebuilt it with a bolder personality, and the menu moves freely between tasting format and à la carte without losing its nerve. Bone marrow panna cotta and a creamsicle ice cream sandwich share real estate here, and somehow that feels earned.

Rank 4. Luca Osteria
Italian
-
A dozen warm wood chairs at a blonde counter in Coral Gables is where the chef's Japanese and Filipino heritage quietly collide. This intimate omakase pulls you through a procession of snacks, sushi, and small surprises, including a Kumamoto oyster served in a dashi "shell" and madai sliced to resemble a rose. The meal closes on miso ice cream, which sounds like a twist but feels inevitable by the time it arrives.
