Best French Bakery in Biscayne Bay

"The fast-selling, handmade brioche donuts are buttery and fluffy outside, soft and moist inside. They make regular flavours like traditional glazed, hazelnut chocolate and white chocolate tres leches all year round. Grab some maple bacon donuts if you are there, hands up!"

"The Salty Doughnut launched in 2015 as Miami’s first artisanal doughnut shop. It quickly became a staple in Wynwood and raving fans rejoiced when a second location opened in South Miami. We recommend the maple bacon donut but you can’t go wrong with any of the flavors."

"Zak the Baker's Technicolor building is just billed as "bakery" on the outside—a sign of false modesty if ever there was one. Zak's is known for its world-class bread, which some of the city's best restaurants order to serve to their customers. Here at the mothership, though, the painstakingly made pleated loaves are topped with corned beef or avocado, and rye bread, chocolate babkas, and quiche all fly off the shelves."

"We hate to break it to you, but you haven’t had bread until you’ve eaten a slice of deliciousness from Zak the Baker. Luckily, this dough is served in dozens of restaurants, available for purchase at Whole Foods and always in stock at the flagship bakery in Wynwood. Plus, the bakery offers a spate of other freshly baked goods like chocolate babka, croissants, cookies and cinnamon rolls."

"Compared to its Wynwood neighbors, Zak the Baker is kind of boring. The floor is grey concrete. The tables and chairs are simple and wooden."

"When it comes to pies, the first name that usually comes to mind in Miami is Fireman Derek’s. It proudly calls itself “Miami’s original pie shop,” and it’s earned a huge following with its larger-than-life creations, served whole or by the slice. Flavors range from salted caramel to guava berry, though we’re partial to cookie monster and the brownie bomb."

"Fireman Derek’s is open daily for takeout and curbside service at both locations (Wynwood & Coconut Grove) and also available for delivery via Postmates, Seamless and Grubhub. Store hours are Monday-Friday from 8AM-9PM and Saturday-Sunday from 9AM-9PM. www.firemandereks.com."

"This Italian style eatery has an assortment of meat and cheese breakfast sandwiches in the morning and pizza for lunch and dinner. We came for breakfast and were enamored with the fresh baked bread here. I hear the pizza and especially the crust are even better and definitely worth coming here later in the day."

"One of my favourite places to eat in South Beach which was ultra affordable was Andrix Cafe. We ended up having lunch here a couple of times in the 4 days we stayed in South Beach. Andrix Cafe has super yummy pizza and drinks available as well as free Wifi."

"When you can't decide if you want cookies or ice cream, Courtney has your back with both. Courtney's Cookies operates out of Small Tea in Coral Gables and offers hearty, organic, vegan and gluten-free cookies (starting at $13.50 for a dozen) , ice cream sandwiches ($6.50 each), and CBD-infused cookies. Order online or via direct message on Instagram @courtneyscookies."

"Get your cookie fix with gluten-free, vegan, organic cookies from Courtney’s Cookies. You can find their cookies in stores around Florida or place an order online."

"If you’re really looking to spice it up, Yardie’s your target. With Jamaican and Haitian delicacies to choose from, jerk chicken is just the beginning. We recommend you try the goat curry."

"Looking for some local small restaurants, this place came up on my search. They are open until 8pm but don't wait too long to…”more"

"Indian , Vegetarian ,  Vegan"

"An Indian fusion experience where each dish has a distinct flavor with balanced heat and its own texture. A true surprise were the house made lemonades a..."

"Appealing to both the health-conscious and the self-proclaimed foodie, Soul Tavern is the first plant-based gastropub in Miami. Located in the Sunset Harbour neighborhood, this spot serves vegetarian and vegan comfort food. Dine alfresco in the Zen patio or slide up to the bar and enjoy local brews."

"Dining here is like closing your eyes and suddenly finding yourself in Paris. Located in the prestigious Biltmore Hotel, this stylish restaurant features the skills of Michelin star-nominated chef Gregory Pugin and James Beard, both of them continually striving to create dishes that will make you feel as if you were on the Champs Elysées. Their traditional recipes are in line with contemporary trends and are scrupulously crafted using the freshest local ingredients."

"An icon of Miami glitz and glamour, the Biltmore hosts the most famous brunch in the entire city. Once frequented by celebrities and socialites (think Judy Garland, Al Capone, the Vanderbilts and the Roosevelts), the hotel’s lavish courtyard is known for its Sunday brunch overflowing with a few of our favorites: Champagne, caviar, eggs Benedict and Belgian waffles. 1200 Anastasia Ave., Coral Gables; 305-913-3200 or biltmorehotel.com"

"For those who don't want to flock to the beach like every other snowbird, the Biltmore remains a timeless and elegant option. Originally built in 1926, this Coral Gables mainstay exudes luxury and class when you need that vibe most. In addition to the property’s award-winning spa and Donald Ross golf course, its massive 600,000-gallon pool and adjacent pool are outdoor musts for a day (or ten)."

"A famed five-star resort with a world-class spa and high-end Peruvian restaurant, offering stunning views of Biscayne Bay. With both a stylish pool and man-made beach, guests can soak up the sun here without feeling overwhelmed by the South Beach scene. The expansive spa and fitness centre is world-class, with a focus on holistic wellness and fully customisable packages."

"When it comes to finding a hotel in Miami, there is no shortage of options available. Whether you want to reminisce in Miami’s art deco beginnings in a vintage-styled hotel, or want to indulge in modern luxury, there is a hotel for you within any budget. This makes finding a hotel in Miami somewhat of a challenge when the options are pretty endless."

"DIRT Sunset Harbor is a good bet for a healthy brekkie, while Ice Box is known for more decadent morning dishes. Then, make a beeline for the beach to get a good spot in the sand. The busiest, and notoriously party-oriented, stretch of the beach lies between 5th Street and 20th Street. If that’s not your idea of a perfect day in the sun, head north of 25th Street for a more peaceful beach experience."

"Swine Southern Table & Bar is a good place to meet up with friends, sip some whiskey, and enjoy classic Southern cooking. The brunch includes meals like BLT Benedict, shrimp & grits, and pulled pork n’ eggs. If you’re not a huge fan of meat, they also offer meat-free options such as their morning quiche, pancakes and waffles."
