Every year, locals and visitors look forward to Miami Spice Restaurant Months, August 1-September 30, when more than 250 restaurants in the destination offer special three-course meals for $30 or $35 for lunch or brunch and $45 or $60 for dinner. Save up your calories (while saving money) for delicious dining experiences at the best Miami Spice restaurants in Miami Beach.

Joe's Stone Crab

While stone crab season doesn’t begin until October, any season is a good reason to dine at the South Beach institution Joe's Stone Crab, especially at a discounted price. Joe's, which is recommended by MICHELIN, is offering a Miami Spice lunch and two dinner menus priced at $45 and $60. Whatever time you dine, we suggest starting with the stone crab bisque and opting for seafood dishes, like parmesan-topped cod and sautéed or fried shrimp, all of which come with one of Joe’s signature sides, like hash browns. Choose the $60 dinner menu to indulge in a “Taste of Joe’s,” which includes Joe’s’ famous fried chicken and three stone crab claws, or upgrade to a full order of claws. Whatever you do, don’t leave without trying their famous Key lime pie.
