Miami Spice Exclusive, Signature Dining Experiences
- June 30, 2025
Miami Spice Restaurant Months in August and September is the best time to discover Greater Miami & Miami Beach’s burgeoning culinary scene, as the destination’s best restaurants offer three-course, prix-fixe menus at considerable savings. In 2025, some of the area’s most prestigious restaurants are offering Miami Spice Signature Experiences, where you’ll go on culinary journeys you may have never before experienced. So if you’re looking for an end-of-summer splurge, try these Miami Spice Signature Experiences.
Dine in an Omakase Speakeasy at Blind Tiger
Meander down a nondescript back hallway at Reunion Ktchn Bar in Aventura and you’ll find yourself at Blind Tiger, North Miami-Dade’s most exclusive omakase counter. This 25-seat gem hosts two nightly seatings, when chefs grind up real wasabi root before plating over a dozen courses of chef-selected Japanese delicacies. The choices vary depending on what’s fresh and what the chef’s in the mood for, but typical Miami Spice selections can include ora king salmon tataki, rainbow fish tartare, Hamachi crunchy lettuce wrap and a selection of six nigiris. During Miami Spice, the experience is only $80.
Enjoy South Beach’s Swankiest Sushi at The Den
The ground floor of the Marriott Stanton South Beach hotel houses one of Miami Beach’s top Japanese restaurants: Azabu. The Den, its not-so-hidden omakase counter, features a communal dining experience where guests gather around and watch Azabu’s chefs work their magic. Fish comes to Miami direct from Tokyo’s Toyosu Market, and the Miami Spice selections include eight pieces of nigiri, one roll, miso soup and mocha ice cream. The dinner, regularly priced at $115, is only $80 during Miami Spice, served Sunday-Thursday.
Argentine and French Family Favorites at French Bistro
Travel to Miami’s southwestern suburbs and you can find some true culinary gems tucked into unassuming strip malls. Take French Bistro in Pinecrest, where an Argentine family is serving Certified Angus Beef steaks alongside a large menu of French cafe fare and classics from their home country. It’s the perfect restaurant to discover during Miami Spice, when the menu is themed after ideal dishes for each member of the family. Enjoy Mom’s Escargot; Dad’s G.O.A.T. empanada; Daughter’s selection of short rib with potato salad or lamb chop with mashed potato; and Auntie’s hornero cake. The three-course feast is $55.
A MICHELIN Two-Star Dinner at L'Atelier de Jöel Robuchon
A meal at L’Atelier de Jöel Robuchon is unlike any other in Miami. Guests take a seat at the counter of this MICHELIN two-star Miami Design District masterpiece and see their meal created with silent precision. The artfully-presented food is impressive by itself, but the team of chefs creating each plate in relative quiet is a true culinary wonder. For 2025, L'Atelier is offering a five-course Miami Spice Signature Experience, starting with foie gras royale and parmesan foam. The meal continues with kampachi crudo and lobster vinaigrette, a summer squash mille feuille, heritage chicken stuffed with black truffle, and strawberry key lime cremeux for dessert. The dinner is priced at $135, served Tuesday-Sunday.
A Bluefin Cutting Ceremony at SORA By Hotel Collection
The bluefin tuna cutting ceremony is one of the great spectacles in the culinary world: Master sushi chefs take this prized catch and turn it into sashimi. As part of Miami Spice on August 29 and September 9, SORA By Hotel Collection in Wynwood is giving guests the chance to be part of the ceremony. Each ticket includes unlimited bluefin tuna, hand rolls, salmon appetizers and a glass of sparkling wine. The program begins at 7 p.m., with the ceremony starting at 8:30 p.m. Everyone in attendance will get a special Hotel Collection gift bag and a chance to win a $250 SORA gift certificate. Tickets for the ceremony start at $128. You must be 21 or over to attend.
Whether you’re here during Miami Spice Restaurant Months or any other time of year, Miami has a wide variety of international dining options.
