Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Sweetwater

"Last but not least, Juvia is one of Miami’s classic rooftop bars centrally located in Miami Beach on Lincoln Road. Take the private elevator to the stunning indoor/outdoor restaurant and lounge that offers beautiful views of Miami, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Art Deco District. The food menu has a blend of the regional cuisines of Asia, vibrant flavors of South America, and classic French techniques making the ceviches, tiraditos, fresh seafood, and prime meats a must order."

"If you time your arrival right, you can catch the sunset through floor-to-ceiling windows or in the rooftop dining room complete with vertical gardens. With panoramic views of South Beach and beyond, this penthouse-level hot spot is a great place to impress your date. The menu isn’t too shabby either, offering an eclectic mix of contemporary takes on Japanese, French, and Peruvian cuisine."

"For rooftop fiends who want off Ocean Drive, Juvia on the west end of Lincoln Road provides a beautiful--and expensive--alternative atop a designer parking garage. A photo posted by To Live."

"This restaurant, built on the legacy of a beautiful love story, was founded in 2009 by Amhet Erkaya and Anastasia Koutsioukis, a married couple fascinated with the taverns of the Aegean coastal villages. It is a healthy and unpretentious setting that is strict about using the freshest ingredients and is attended by cheerful staff members in a cozy and friendly environment. This bistro was created after remodeling a gorgeous scenic house which easily holds 150 diners, it offers interior seating, an outdoor dining room, its own bakery, a market and a garden where the key elements for the preparation of exquisite seasonal dishes are harvested."

"Offering a menu full of delicious Greek and Turkish cuisine, Mandolin Aegean Bistro is situated in Miami's Design District. Founded in 2009 by husband and wife, Ahmet Erkaya and Anastasia Koutsioukis, the idea behind Mandolin was to serve simple, unpretentious, healthy food using fresh ingredients in a welcoming atmosphere. With a peaceful outdoor dining area, and a garden growing seasonal ingredients for the dishes, it's clear that Ahmet and Anastasia have achieved their goal with Mandolin."

"The best Greek and Turkish food in Miami is tucked away in the intimate, understated courtyard at Mandolin. Transport to the Greek isles with a menu of elegant small plates — no overfried falafel here — entrees like lamb and beef meatballs, and the exceptional grilled octopus, all with refreshing Greek wine to complete the meal."

"Miami’s culinary scene is so diverse, so it’s no surprise there are plant-based options, including Planta in Miami Beach, where vegans can get the best breakfast in Miami on the weekends. Many of the ingredients used in each dish are grown on the rooftop garden, so they’re guaranteed fresh!. The chefs will take classic breakfast and brunch staples and adapt them with vegan ingredients in such creative and delicious ways."

"Chef David Lee launched Planta in South Beach with the mission of crafting food that’s sustainable – without using any animal products. He showcases how plant-based eating can be healthy and environmental while still actually tasting good. It’s certainly not just about vegetables here – after all, Lee transforms mushrooms and watermelon into nigiri – and he allows diners to forget that his queso dip is vegan."

"For vegetarians and vegans, one of the top venues to visit is Planta. The food is so delicious and creative that even meat and seafood lovers enjoy dining out in this restaurant. Typical dishes on the menu include vegetarian versions of burgers and pizzas."

"winner Jeremy Ford has worked with venerable chefs such as Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Los Angeles' Ludo Lefebvre. Now, in Miami Beach's tony South of Fifth neighborhood, Ford shines solo at Stubborn Seed. The interior design of his 70-seater is industrial chic, allowing the food to be the focal point."

"It’s actually Top Chef winner Jeremy Ford’s South Beach restaurant. While his savory food is delicious, what we really can’t get enough of is pastry chef Dallas Wynne’s snickerdoodles. They’re served warm and oozing with a rich chocolate filling."

"Habitat is a sustainable, modern-day Mexican restaurant open for breakfast and dinner. We offer light and fit options as well as classic Mexican dishes using the freshest ingredients. Enjoy our nature inspired dining room, outdoor patio or private mezzanine."

"This Spanish restaurant is inside the National Hotel in South Beach and also has some outdoor seating with a view of the pool. The menu has dishes like paella, patatas bravas, octopus, and more."

"When you venture past Calle Ocho’s tourist traps, you’ll find the real backbone of Cuban Miami: its cafeterias and bakeries. (Karmen Bakery is so tiny that you might miss it if you don’t know what you’re looking for.) Order some of their affordable but oh-so delectable treats to go and enjoy them while gazing out over the water. Here, a traditional Cuban sandwich on fresh-baked bread with a drink goes for less than $10 total."

"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."

"These are probably my favourite and the most fun on this list of instagrammable places in Miami. I just love the iconic colourful lifeguard towers in Miami, but especially the ones at South Pointe beach!. Expect to see all sorts of bright colours and fun shapes as you stroll along the beach."

"For those of you who want a little more variety (or for those that don't like shopping), you can stop at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, where there is something for everyone. Guests have the option to enjoy the casino, horse racing, live entertainment and more."

"If you’re feeling ambitious on your townie cruiser, you can ride north to Bal Harbour or Haulover beaches; natives know these as water-sports havens—and for Bal Harbour’s luxury shopping. Otherwise, drop off your bike along Ocean Drive and grab a spot on the beach, Lummus Beach, which runs from around 6th to 14th streets. This is a beach for locals and tourists alike, and the spread of humanity—supermodels, families and even topless tanners—make this a go-to spot for people-watching."
