There’s no doubt that Miami deserves its title as “America’s Hottest Dining Scene.” Bon Appétit has just named Miami as “2023 Food City of the Year.” And, arriving in Florida for the first time in 2022, the Michelin Guide awarded new stars to some of the city’s favorite restaurants, plus eight local restaurants, chefs and bakeries are finalists in the 2023 James Beard Awards. A recent Greater Miami and Miami Beach Visitor Industry Report showed a 50% increase in food tourism in 2021, surpassing pre-pandemic numbers. Along with offering a wide range of international cuisines, Miami’s diverse food scene is influenced by its own multicultural population, a blend of Latin American, Caribbean and American, with a heavy emphasis on seafood and tropical fruits. Showing the vast variety of dining options, here’s a selection of some of the best places to eat in this vibrant foodie hotspot.
