Best Lunch Restaurants in Tamiami

"Restaurants Gastropubs Brickell. The Brickell gastropub with reopens just in time for football season. With seemingly more TVs than chairs, Batch is a favorite of sports fans looking for a good view of the game and a solid meal to enjoy while they watch."

"It’s a nice place to unwind on Friday nights and come back for the brunch on Sundays. Our waitress Pam is very, very good at what she..."

"Tucked away in Little Havana, Doce Provisions serves up a waffle with some serious Florida flair. Its standout Key Lime Pie Waffles are covered in graham cracker crumbs and topped with plenty of whipped cream, meaning it’s basically like having pie for breakfast — and who doesn't love that?"

"A Wynwood favorite, Miam, which means “Yum” in French is a funky gathering place for artists, locals, and tourists. They believe in simple, fresh ingredients and many of their menu options are purely organic. Miam’s coffee menu is filled with a wide variety of all the classics, although they also sell matcha lattes and their signature Miamcchiato."

"Disguised among the zebra-printed Wynwood Building, this industrial-style European bistro, which translates to yum in French, is a local haven for daytime fare plus beer and wine."

"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."

"A Jewish deli done wrong,” proclaims owner/chef Josh Marcus of his chill spot in Surfside. Marcus worked in many of Miami’s famous restaurants, but Josh’s Deli is a departure: it’s classic food made with fresher ingredients, creative twists (a softshell crab croissant, octopus and grits, spicy tuna latkes), and homemade everything (even the bagels). The experience is deeply unpretentious, which we love."

"If you are a history buff or culture buff, then you will love the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood. Here you’ll find many contemporary visual art exhibitions, live stage performances, educational facilities for aspiring local artists, and much more. Just be sure to check their website for listings and seasonal exhibitions that are so good."

"The Center, which is southeast of Young Circle, has a great reputation for presenting übercool contemporary art exhibitions and providing…"

"HistoryMiami doesn't sound like the name of a historical museum, which is exactly what its board members had in mind. The less-bulky name signified a new direction for what was previously called the Historical Museum of Southern Florida. Today, the museum, which actually began as a historical association in 1940 continues to offer the exhibits that were developed throughout the previous decades, as well as incorporating new ones."

"South Florida – a land of escaped slaves, guerrilla Native Americans, gangsters, land grabbers, pirates, tourists, drug dealers and alligators – has a special history, and it takes a special kind of museum to... Top ChoiceMuseum in Downtown Miami"

"Begin your day at the Little Haiti Cultural Center. This cultural hub, part gallery, part community space, offers first-rate shows of contemporary art by Caribbean artists from around the world. It has exhibited the works of noted Haitian artist Edouard Duval-Carrié and photos from Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Carl Juste."

"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants Contemporary American Downtown. Overlooking Biscayne Bay from the covered deck of the Pérez Art Museum Miami, this simple eatery appears to be nothing more than a museum restaurant with a good view. But sit down and try one of Executive Chef Kaytlin Dangaran’s trendy plates—such as the butternut squash and fig pizza—and you’ll be tempted to stick around long after you’ve perused the art."

"Grab a seat at Verde’s expansive covered patio overlooking Biscayne Bay and dine on dishes like prosciutto pizza, its popular chicken under a brick, and grilled salmon. Of course leave room for dessert as its chef Hedy Goldsmith brings back her popular pastries to the restaurant."

"An entirely outdoor restaurant nestled amidst the nature of Coconut Grove's Peacock Park, Glass & Vine is the perfect place to relax and unwind. Serving a range of contemporary American dishes across brunch, lunch and dinner (each dish prepared using locally-sourced ingredients), there's something to suit every taste at this patio in the park. Described as an 'intimate secret garden by the sea,' Glass & Vine evokes an enchanted forest vibe by night, with its sparkling fairy lights and swirling tree branches — ideal for romantic dates and evenings with friends alike."

"Everyone knows Chopped Champion, Giorgio Rapicavoli’s, brunch game is on point (hello, Captain Crunch Pancakes via Eating House) and there’s no exception when it comes to brunch at Glass & Vine. The Coquito French Toast is made with coconut milk, cinnamon, and vanilla-maple — and once it’s finished there is really no need for dessert."

"Restaurants Ice cream parlors Flagami. Named for the famous ice cream parlor in Havana, Coppelia serves up traditional ice cream, milkshakes and sundaes just like its namesake did in Cuba more than 50 years ago. With that, this place specializes in nostalgia-tinged dessert, featuring pre-revolutionary Cuban favorites like the Copa Lolita, a caramel flan sundae, and flavors like mamey and mantecado."

"This Little Havana gem is set up like a traditional cafeteria and has an old school vibe to it. And it shares its name with a famous ice cream shop in Cuba, which explains why you can get ice cream and flan combos, like the Copa Lolita."

"Downtown's Gelateria 4D, located at 670 Lincoln Road, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the gelateria and café four stars out of 191 reviews for its plentiful flavors. Especially popular is the parmalat milk gelato, made with imported Italian milk."

"The husband-and-wife duo behind Frice spent years working in pastry kitchens in the Pacific Northwest before bringing their chef-driven ice cream business to Miami. And, man, were we missing out. Theirs starts with a traditional French custard base that’s flavored with locally sourced ingredients, including fruit and dairy products from South Florida farmers."

"Frice, maker of some of the best ice cream in Miami, finally got its first scoop shop inside The Citadel. It’s now open Wed-Sun from noon to 9pm in the Little Haiti food hall."
