Sunny’s
At Sunny’s 2.0 in Little River, feast beneath the original steakhouse’s beloved banyan tree or inside at two new retro-inspired dining rooms. Patrons of the pandemic-born pop up are ecstatic to be reunited with its traditional menu of ice-cold martinis, rib eyes and baked potatoes.

Mother Wolf
Come ravenous for the expansion of Los Angeles’s Mother Wolf to the Miami Design District. More than the name, chef Evan Funke honors Roman heritage through homemade carbonara and all 'Amatriciana pastas favored by its people. Geographically broadened desserts incorporate elements of Sicily and Florida.

Catch Miami Beach
There’s a reason Catch hooks diners at nationwide locations. With its mix of fine seafood, chops and Asian cuisine from sushi to Cantonese lobster, everyone can find something to be excited about. A South of Fifth address with Rockwell Group interiors and a brand-new, rooftop deck elevates the glamour quotient.

Torno Subito
The arrival of renowned chef Massimo Bottura’s Torno Subito cements Miami as a food capital. His contemporary approach to classic Italian dishes (Cocktail di Gamberi) and famously deconstructed desserts (Dropped the Lemon Pie exclusively reimagined here as Burned the Key Lime Pie) complements Miami Art Week.

Casa Neos
Be transported to the Greek Isles by way of the Miami River at Casa Neos. Boaters dock for raw-bar platters and mezze dips served with crudités before moving on to whole branzino, rack of lamb and black truffle pasta. It’s also a buzzy destination for Sunday brunch.

Elastika
Named for Zaha Hadid’s iconic sculpture installed in The Moore space’s atrium, Elastika occupies the ground floor of a private club. But one doesn’t have to be a member to order daily lunch and dinner service featuring Florida ingredients below the biomorphic artwork.

More popular South of Fifth eateries include Carbone and Abbalé Telavivian Kitchen, whose sister chain Pura Vida operates several all-day cafés around town. Mila’s rooftop restaurant and lounge lies off Lincoln Road, while Buena Vista’s Mandolin Aegean Bistro and South Beach’s Macchialina always delight.

The Setai
The Setai introduced its new Japanese cuisine concept Japón just in time for hungry art enthusiasts to dine amidst antique woodblock prints and crane-themed décor.

1 Hotel South Beach
Michael Solomonov, the Israeli-born chef behind Philadelphia’s famous Zahav, flies south with Aviv at 1 Hotel South Beach. Inspired by Miami’s warm weather year-round, much like Tel Aviv’s, he named his new culinary venture after the Hebrew word for “spring.” Middle Eastern flavors abound in mezze spreads, charcoal-grilled kabobs and hand-rolled Yemenite bread.
