As promised here are my go to spots in Miami for drinks, dining and dancing plus a little extra!
One of my favorite things about my hometown is the ever changing landscape of restaurants, bars/lounges and things to do in the 305. The diverse cultures and communities here makes for an amazing selection of experiences and I only wish I could eat out everyday to try it all!
We all know Miami is in my blood and the culinary and social culture of my home is something nowhere else has. I’m so happy I get to share it with you through my platforms and I hope you enjoy!
If you love any of these places too let me know down below and send me any recs I need to add to my list!
Since I created these graphics I have since been to Mayami Wynwood and it was INCREDIBLE! I also LOVED The Gramercy in Coral Gables and Calle 23 also in the Gables for happy hour. I also really enjoyed Riverside, it’s a new outdoor/indoor bar/club/lounge with dining and great for dancing!
I’ve also been to the 1 Hotel South Beach + their Habitat restaurant. The BEST spicy marg I have ever had and the Paloma was delicious too! A MUST TRY!!!
And before I forget, here are a few more faves: Finka Table and Tap, Bodega, Mr and Mrs Bun, Tap 42, Time Out Market Miami and Sawa! Add Ecléctico to the list too, it’s a new spot in Merrick Park (one of my fave malls in the city)!I’ve since been to Pura Vida and loved it also!
Btw here are some of my fave malls/shopping areas where a lot of these restaurants are located and you can absorb the energy of the city and each individual neighborhood too.
Merrick Park in Coral Gables; The Miami Design District; Brickell City Centre and Bal Harbour. City Place Doral has some great spots too but it’s not my top spot, it’s an honorable mention! Midtown and Wynwood are cool areas to check out too!
For a traditional mall, Dadeland Mall is my fave but let’s be real, I online shop now and when I want to window shop I go to the design district.
I have a running list of all the places I’m dying to try out too so I’ll share those below!!
Don’t forget to check out my IG story highlights for sneak peeks of some of my fave drinks and dishes at some of these places too!
Plus as a bonus I included my Marco Island and Naples area recs since we’re locals there now too.
Add Fin Bistro to my Marco Island recs, a pricey but DELICIOUS seafood restaurant, great for a birthday dinner or anniversary celebration!
Buen provecho friends🥂
