With world-class seafood and a long growing season, Miami has the ingredients to bolster one of top food scenes in the country.
Restaurants like the James Beard Award winning, Miachel's Genuine Food and Drink, take advantage of the daily fresh catches and the abundance of local fruits and vegetables. Often crafting their menus hours before the restaurant opens, this Design District star utilizes its close relationships with farmers and fisherman to bring the best possible food to the people of Miami.
For the classics, head to Moreno's Cuba at the Riviera Hotel in the heart of South Beach. Founded by Latin Grammy Award Winner Jorge Moreno, this 1950s Havana-style throwback transports you back in time with its classically designed bar and—more importantly—its carefully crafted menu. With signature dishes such as Lechon Asado, slow roasted pork in lime herb sauce, and Pollo a la Brasa, you'll quickly remember why you booked your Miami vacation in the first place. And don't forget to wash it all down with their signature mojito.
