Dining

Ghee Indian Kitchen

RestaurantBib Gourmand$$738 m

Niven Patel’s smash-hit restaurant is bound to put diners in the mood for the team's smartly spiced food with warehouse floors, mango wood tables and a wall lined with rows upon rows of spice jars.The kitchen takes no cues from its suburban locale; in fact, it features a tight menu of flavor-packed dishes made with ingredients sourced from Chef Patel’s own farm. Ghost pepper-cheddar seed naan is a fiery, puff-pastry-like riff, while yellowfin tuna bhel with avocado makes for a zesty first course. Kerala lamb with tomato and coconut is a richly satisfying effort with layered notes, soft basmati

Ariete

Restaurant★ Michelin$$$$8.2 km

You can settle in at a table in the dining room or on the patio and eat just as well in both. So goes the charm of Chef Michael Beltran’s Coconut Grove mainstay. Lush with greenery, this dimly lit restaurant immediately welcomes with a menu that weaves together new American and classic French influences to dazzling effect.First-timers should aim for the tasting menu, as it's the surest way to experience the chef’s talent for creative combinations and excellent sauce work. Highlights include fluke topped with conch escabeche and sided by fish chorizo and an earthy tomato ragout with beans and p

Los Félix

Restaurant★ Michelin$$$8.6 km

Heritage corn sourced from across the Americas and seafood fetched from nearby waters are foundational pillars for this youthful restaurant in Coconut Grove. Such sustainability is a point of pride for Chef Sebastian Vargas, who offers a finely poised expression of Mexican cuisine that leans on subtle flavors and top-notch ingredients. Anyone can throw together a fish taco, but few are willing to source grouper from Key West, grill it in a banana leaf, and pair it with a deceptively addicting hazelnut emulsion. Another recent highlight featured a superb griddled corn cake paired with crab, smo

Shingo

Restaurant★ Michelin$$$$9.2 km

Chef Shingo Akikuni, ever gracious and welcoming, has returned, now back in action behind a spacious, 14-seat counter in Coral Gables. Most premium sushi omakases work with half as many seats, but there’s no cause for concern here: Chef Akikuni and his second-in-command handle the crowd without breaking a sweat and even switch sides midway through the meal. Once the room fills with the sharp smell of vinegar to mix into the sushi rice, it’s off to the races. Fish is sourced almost entirely from Japan, sliced in uniform fashion, and, dressed with little more than a swipe of nikiri. They keep a

Mano Libera

Restaurant$$$$2.8 km

Located on a tree-lined, twinkly lit residential street with a neighborhood feel, this restaurant with strong Neapolitan roots offers an array of both modern and classical Italian dishes. Begin with a basket of their fresh breads, including rustic grissini and focaccia, served with creamy house-made ricotta. Move on to the gamberi and calamari fritti, properly enrobed in a double crispy batter, with a spritz of Amalfi lemon and a Dijon mustard dipping sauce. Pastas are the highlight here, particularly the Linguine alla Nerano — a fine base of Gragnano pasta, perfectly al dente, enveloped in li

Recoveco

Restaurant$$$$3.0 km

This South Miami restaurant from Chefs Maria Teresa Gallina and Nicolas Martinez may be diminutive but there's plenty of personality packed into this small space. The menu echoes that tiny-but-mighty sentiment with a concise format that shifts often, particularly with the seasons. Small and large plates are approachable but far from standard, and for a ringside seat, snag a spot at the kitchen counter. The chicken liver mousse displays their signature flair, with house-made speculaas cookies made with peppercorn and cardamom piped with ribbons of velvety mousse and a starfruit jam. Roasted dry

Beauty & the Butcher

Restaurant$$$3.7 km

A gleaming, square bar anchors the center of this attractive, sizeable restaurant styled with a floor-to-ceiling glass wine cellar and personalized wine lockers placed throughout the room. The menu is broad in its reach, swinging from Manchego and serrano ham croquettes to hamachi crudo with passion fruit and then onward to a wide selection of steaks. As expected, everything is made in-house, and no corners are cut. This is especially true of the Caesar salad, a triumphant tower of gem lettuce, snow peas, garlic sourdough, and aged Parmesan. Much like the restaurant itself, it walks a fine lin

Chug's Diner

RestaurantBib Gourmand$$8.5 km

What started out as a small café has grown overnight into this full-scale, Coconut Grove essential. All credit is due to Chef Michael Beltran who runs this terrific Cuban diner, fitted with dangling greenery and cozy booths. Truly, if this kitchen were a car, it would break the speed limit, as the team hurries about—opening early, closing late and cooking with panache.One could make a meal out of the oxtail ajiaco alone, a satisfying Colombian stew that cures all ills. But then you wouldn’t have room for the several towering sandwiches, served on fluffy Cuban bread. No meal is complete without
