Best Family Restaurants in Miami Beach

"Restaurants Chinese Wynwood. Commanding its own lively corner on the outer edges of a tightly packed Wynwood, this petite, dimly lit parcel serves up Chinese classics alongside a respectable wine list and just the right amount of scene. Its pink facade, hanging wicker lamps and elbow room only dining room make for a fun stop off before a night out, but Palmar’s blue crab fried rice topped with bean sprouts and a sticky 63-degree egg is reason enough to put in a reservation and brave the Wynwood crowds."

"The restaurant takes traditional Chinese cuisine and turns it into something that locals and critics have fallen in love with. Some even say it’s the best Chinese restaurant in Miami. For starters, their dim sum is bursting with flavor, along with other colorful dishes."

"Established by Chef Roberto Legrand in 1995, Spiga Ristorante Italiano is an elegant restaurant with a romantic front garden that serves Northern Italian cuisine in a tranquil setting.

"Coconut GroveThere’s nothing quite like delving into a spicy, steaming plate of chicken vindaloo in a mirrored space that could well have been the inspiration for the Babylon Club. But would you expect any less out of Miami’s most vaunted Indian restaurant, who moved into this massive Mayfair space after it outgrew its old digs on Commodore Plaza. Bombay Darbar plays the Indian classics better than anyone in Miami, and though it’s not as cutting edge as some of our more-celebrated Indian eateries it still packs ’em in night after night.How to book: Call 305-444-7272 to reserve."

"What began as a mom-and-pop 30-seater has grown into an Indian-food mainstay with two locations (Coconut Grove and Fort Lauderdale). Diners crunch on crisp papadum wafers while watching Bollywood movies on a large screen and perusing the menu. That list is lengthy, but at its heart are the tikkas, tandooris, and vindaloos that fans of Indian food crave."

"If you’ve got a seafood restaurant on the beach, that fish better be fresh — and Fifi’s does not disappoint. Every morning a local surfer goes out into the Atlantic and catches hog snapper and grouper and, when in season, lobster. It can be a little pricey, but go for the daily lunch specials to get a killer meal on a budget."

"Fifi’s is one of the best-kept secrets of our city, located in Miami’s North Beach. But it quite possibly serves some of the best seafood in all of the city. The neighborhood hidden gem is famous for its fresh Hog Snapper, caught by locals daily, as well as the flavorful seafood paella."

It features a Turkish hammam, do-it-yourself hydrotherapy treatments, saunas, yoga rooms and a series of outdoor mud baths. The spacious lobby opens up to a labyrinthine zen garden with hanging chairs and fire pits hidden amidst the hedges."

"Start your evening on the right foot with a scenic drink at The Lido Bayside Grill at the swanky Standard Hotel on a small island just west of Miami Beach. This waterfront desk offers one of my favorite sunset views in the whole city, and their frozen rose is delicious too."

"Martha Stewart stamps this as "the most beautiful spa in America," so if you're gonna book a treatment at Lapis Spa, then you might as well go big and reserve the Bleau private spa suite.

Oh, and once you're done with your Aroma Detox therapy, you can bequest a personal bath butler to cater to your bubbling needs."
