Rank 1. Mutra
Middle Eastern
Named for the chef's grandmother, this Michelin-starred Israeli restaurant in North Miami pulls its menu from hyperlocal ingredients and rotates dishes often enough that running out of something is part of the deal. The chef's counter is where you want to be, watching Middle Eastern flavors get handled with quiet precision. The staff reads the room well enough to steer you through whatever's left, which turns out to be a feature, not a bug.
