Casa Amore Miami

1116 Ocean Drive

One of the most beautiful iconic property for a romantic evening or a breezy brunch. This upscale Mediterranean restaurant is decked in frescoes, mosaics & over looks a gold-lined pool. They have a nice set menu for lunch which is well priced (just 35 dollars per person plus tax and tip) but must be booked well in advance. Dress smart causal or in your favourite Versace outfit.

1137 Washington Ave

The most delicious and non pretentious Thai food in South Beach. Simple basic decor with indoor and outdoor seating but the food overtakes everything. Must visit for authentic flavours and generous portions.

850 Commerce St

Planta is an upscale plant-based fine-dining restaurant in South Beach's south of fifth neighbourhood. They offer innovative vegan cuisine which is delicious and nutritious. The space, with its leafy palms and sleek banquettes is modern chic. I recommend the steamed dumplings, the truffle bianca pizza and the signature lasagna.

4385 Collins Ave

Located in the garden courtyard of Soho Beach House Cecconi's is a modern Italian restaurant featuring simply prepared Venetian inspired food. It has become a critically acclaimed dining destination and offers an elegant and relaxed dining experience, it has brunch buffet on weekends. I recommend the baked Gnocchi Romana Gorgonzola, Cannellini Bean Dip and the Truffle, Goat Cheese, Zucchini Blossom Pizza.

600 Brickell Avenue

Hong Kong-based restaurant Hutong has debuted here in the Magic City. It serves up delicious Northern Chinese fare with artisanal dim sum and exotic signature cocktails in a bright and colourful setting.

2320 NW 2nd Ave

Miami's freshest Mexican street food experience. A small eatery in Wynwood, the art district, attracted by the good music, good food and a fun bar.

1930 Bay Rd

Outstanding Pizza pies, humongous size which is perfect for two people. Dont miss the baked artichokes and ravioli with pesto for appetisers. Order the Nutella Pie for the ones with a sweet tooth.

560 Washington Ave

Best Middle Eastern food with fresh salads and delicious falafels.

1601 Drexel Ave

Its a nice space with many different cuisines in a fun chilled out setting. My favourites are tacos from La Santa Taqueria, pizzas at Pizzella and definitely the yummy vegan Chinese at The Rogue Panda.

1052 Ocean Dr

This is one of the best offerings on Ocean Drive to sit and watch the live performances by drag artists. Food is average but great for drinks and spending a fun evening.

229 14th Street

Cute hole in the wall sandwich joint. Great customization of sandwiches and quick service. Very reasonable prices.
