Food Scene Miami
Miami’s culinary scene in 2025 is a fever dream of flavor, spectacle, and sheer creativity—a city humming with irrepressible energy and an appetite for the bold and the beautiful. This year, the influx of new restaurants has listeners buzzing from North Miami to Coral Gables, where fresh talents and established icons collectively raise the bar with inventive concepts and immersive storytelling on every plate.
Among the most electrifying debuts, Las’ Lap Miami on Miami Beach stands out. Chef Kwame Onwuachi, drawing deep from his Trinidadian heritage, has listeners swooning over dishes like truffle oxtail Cubans and jerk-rum-glazed lamb, all washed down with expertly curated West Indies-inspired rum cocktails. Further fueling eclectic cravings, Amazónico Miami’s jungle-inspired Brickell location is the talk of the town. Here, Peruvian-Japanese-Nikkei flavors—think char-grilled presa ibérica and vibrant ceviches—unfurl beneath lush canopies and impossibly glamorous interiors.
The Japanese influence continues its Miami renaissance with Uchiko Miami Beach and Dojo Izakaya, both fresh off the grill for 2025. Uchiko’s menu is a dazzler: roasted lobster, grilled scallops with strawberry XO sauce, and wagyu hot rocks, alongside the sushi creations that made Uchi a legend in Austin. Dojo Izakaya on Giralda brings a more casual sibling vibe, with sake aplenty and a sideshow of rock shrimp karaage and perfectly charred Iberico pork.
Mediterranean daydreamers can escape to Amavi Miami, where Chef Tolga Mutlu celebrates the sun-drenched Aegean coast via pomegranate-glazed lamb and tableside-carved branzino. Meanwhile, Da Angelino Cucina Italiana in Coconut Grove woos with terra-cotta charm and rustic pastas, marrying Florentine soul to Miami’s breezy, convivial spirit.
Local ingredients are the foundation for many of Miami’s inventive menus—Cotoa in North Miami evokes Ecuadorian kitchens, while Koko in Coconut Grove nixtamalizes tortillas daily from imported organic Mexican corn. Bayshore Club Bar & Grill draws inspiration from the city’s coastal bounty with its seafood-centered plates and panoramic views, while Green Star-honoree Los Félix and award-winning Ghee Indian Kitchen infuse heritage cooking with Miami flair.
Miami Spice Restaurant Months packs over 300 dining deals, spotlighting signature collaborations—like Le Jardinier Miami’s five-course feast with L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon—and Michelin-starred experiences at stalwarts such as Stubborn Seed and Boia De.
What makes Miami’s food culture so singular is the effervescence that pulses through every meal: a city where sun, sea, and multicultural ingenuity collide to create dining that’s theatrical, bold, and drenched in local color. For culinary adventurers, Miami’s table has never been richer—or more irresistible..
