Cote Miami *
One MICHELIN Star
What is it? A Korean steakhouse with a high-gloss, nightclub-like edge, where beef is dry-aged in-house and service is as polished as the marble bar.
Why go: Cote’s lunch menu ($35) is one of the best deals in town, with the bibimbap, steak tartare, and fried chicken among the options. Diners can tack on upgrades like wagyu paella or A5 tallow fries for a splurge without going full à la carte.
When? Lunch Monday through Friday
Address: 3900 NE Second Ave, Miami, FL 33137
Le Jardinier Miami *
One MICHELIN Star
What is it? A refined French spot with a vegetable-forward menu and a serene location tucked among luxury boutiques in the Miami Design District.
Why go: Le Jardinier’s Spice offerings stay true to its ethos: light, seasonal, and gorgeously executed. Lunch ($35) and dinner ($60) include options like fluke crudo, mushroom ragu, and coconut-lime meringue, all served in a space that’s as beautiful as the plates.

One MICHELIN Star & MICHELIN Green Star
What is it? A South Beach dining room where chef Jeremy Ford blends modern American cooking with intense flavor, technical rigor, and local sourcing.
Why go: This year’s $60 Spice dinner starts with showpieces like Mie Prefecture medai in aguachile with blueberry relish or a stone-fruit salad with ylang ylang vinaigrette. Entrees include sourdough-crusted halibut in tomato consommé or umami-rich braised beef cheek. Add both appetizers or entrees for a supplement, or go all in with two desserts, including banana flan with fig caramel or a mango-pistachio gateau.
When? Dinner Sunday through Thursday
Address: 101 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139
Ariete *
One MICHELIN Star
What is it? Chef Michael Beltran’s Coconut Grove flagship is where Cuban roots meet American technique in dishes that are deeply personal and layered with history.
Why go: The dinner menu ($60) shows off Beltran’s style without overcomplicating things: gnocchi with duck confit and calabaza, wahoo with mofongo and ají dulce beurre blanc, and a flan infused with candy cap mushrooms.
When? Dinner daily
Address: 3540 Main Hwy, Coconut Grove, FL 33133
Ghee Indian Kitchen
Bib Gourmand
What is it? A Kendall standout where chef Niven Patel sources much of the produce from his own farm and rethinks Indian-American restaurant standards.
Why go: Dinner ($45) is a choose-your-own adventure with serious variety like saag paneer, dal makhani, turmeric-marinated fish, and housemade ice cream sandwiches. It’s comforting, hearty, and delicious, without playing it safe.

Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink
Bib Gourmand
What is it? One of Miami’s most enduring restaurants, where wood-oven cooking, local sourcing, and all-day dining meet under acclaimed chef Michael Schwartz.
Why go: Expect the familiar with a twist, dishes like beef tartare with dijon aioli, cobia with brown butter, and banana upside-down cake that’s more balanced than sweet. Available for both lunch ($35) and dinner ($45).

Doya
Bib Gourmand
What is it? A Wynwood restaurant inspired by the meze culture of the Aegean coast, complete with an open-fire grill and sprawling indoor-outdoor dining room.
Why go: Lunch ($35) and dinner ($60) menus lean Mediterranean but stay varied, think beet hummus and shaved zucchini to start, then branzino stew, lamb chops, or a truffle-topped pide. For dessert: pistachio baklava or mastic pudding with berry compote.
