Enjoy a Taste of Asia at 107 Taste

A small chain of pan-Asian restaurants started by a couple who met at Florida International University in Miami, 107 Taste has expanded beyond its original location near FIU to locations in Brickell, South Miami, Coral Gables and Miami Lakes, offering traditional dishes from across Asia in a modern, casual atmosphere. Its $35 lunch, $45 dinner Miami Spice menus give you a chance to sample different cuisines, beginning with Japanese takoyaki made with cabbage and octopus, Chinese blue crab Rangoon or gyoza. Main course options include their famous tonkotsu ramen, pad Thai noodles, and General 107 chicken, Chef Yu Bi’s take on General Tso’s chicken.

Italian Food That Was Born in Argentina

An Italian restaurant in Wynwood, Piegari came to Miami by way of Buenos Aires, where it made its name as an upscale hangout for South American celebs. Its Miami outpost attracts a more business-minded crowd, so you’ll find well-heeled patrons filling the elegant dining room for lunch and dinner. The restaurant has a reputation for fabulous pasta, and you’ll find plenty on the Miami Spice menu. Try the Corde di Chitarra, guitar-string pasta made with fresh tomatoes and black olives. Or opt for Tortellini alla Valdosta, Gruyere-stuffed shells in a creamy bechamel sauce. Piegari will offer lunch for $35 and dinner for $60 every day, and each meal comes with your choice of a soft drink or mineral water, a glass of wine, coffee or tea.

A Decadent Steakhouse Dinner in Brickell

For opulent, old-school steakhouse dining, few restaurants compare to Lafayette. This Brickell chop spot will make you feel like you’re dining in an old English library, where large, leather boots and fine art on the walls complement a piano player in the middle of the dining room. Head upstairs to the mezzanine and grab a martini, then settle in for one of the top Miami Spice deals. Start your $60 dinner Tuesday-Saturday with a prime beef tostada, topped with pickled red onion and chimichurri. Or if you want something a bit lighter, opt for a jumbo shrimp cocktail. The steak frites is the go-to for your main, though there’s also sea bass and an American Wagyu cheeseburger on the menu. Top it all off with ice cream, sorbet, a sundae or decadent lava cake. 

Asian Delights With a Caribbean Twist

Chef Raheem Sealy gained massive popularity during his time at Kyu, where his fried chicken was the restaurant’s biggest draw. This year, he opened his own spot just a few blocks away at Shiso, where he’s infusing his native Caribbean flavors into Asian cuisine. The space embodies its Wynwood surroundings, with modern Asian decor sitting among concrete pillars covered in graffiti. Shiso’s $60 dinner menu, Wednesday-Sunday, starts with a choice of stracciatella with honey and pesto; bluefin tuna with smoked pepper relish; or a shiso salad with parmesan dressing. Main course options include Chilean sea bass in coconut curry; uni rice with king crab; and oxtail udon noodles.

From Colombia, A Culinary & Sensory Feast

In Colombia, a trip to Andrés Carnes de Res is as much a night at the carnival as it is a dinner. The restaurant has brought the same brand of theatrical fun to its first American location, a four-story, 10,000-square-foot feast  for the senses on Lincoln Road. Stilt walkers and salsa dancers perform during every meal, neon signs buzz from the walls and smoky meats pass by. The $60 Miami Spice dinner menu, served Wednesday-Sunday, is the perfect way to try this entirely different eating experience. Begin with a traditional Colombian empanada filled with red pepper beef and Kalamata olive aioli. Then order the signature five-ounce tenderloin, served with cauliflower puree infused with ginger and coconut cream. Finish an exciting evening with key lime pie or tres leches cake.

Iconic Shrimp Toast & So Much More

Set in the historic old Firestone station on Alton Road in South Beach, Mimi Chinese is a chic, high-energy restaurant that’s come to Miami by way of Toronto. It’s a regular destination for visiting celebrities, and its shrimp toast is one of the most Instagrammed dishes in America. Of course, that dish is part of Mimi’s first Miami Spice menu, one of three appetizer options that also include crossed-arm chicken dumplings and spicy smacked cucumber salad. Entree choices range from stir fried rice rolls with Guangdong onion to ginger and scallion sea bass or, if you’re feeling nostalgic, General Tso’s chicken. Mimi Chinese’s $60 Miami Spice dinner will be served Wednesday-Sunday.

New York Italian Food Directly From New York

Harlem’s notoriously hard-to-get-into neighborhood Italian restaurant opened up in South Beach’s Loews Miami Beach Hotel, bringing the same family-run, old-school Italian vibe to a much-larger space. Despite filling 150 seats, Rao’s Miami Beach still feels homey, with black and white pictures of celebrities on the walls and owner Ron Straci visiting tables, negroni in hand. Rao’s first foray into Miami Spice begins with appetizer choices like a fried mozzarella sandwich and the restaurant’s famous meatballs. Entree offerings include Uncle Vincent’s lemon chicken, a six-ounce filet mignon and chicken parmesan. For dessert, enjoy traditional tiramisu or New York-style cheesecake. Miami Spice dinner will be served every day for $60.

Seating at Sugar with Miami skyline views — The views are as unforgettable as the food as Sugar

The Views Are Sweet & The Food Is Fine

No view in Miami tops the one from Sugar, where high atop Brickell’s EAST hotel, you’ll have a panoramic vista from the Everglades to the Atlantic Ocean, north through Downtown Miami and south to Biscayne Bay. It’s the perfect spot for a sunset dinner, when the destination segues from colorful tropical paradise to glittering neon nighttime. Post up near a window and enjoy Sugar’s Miami Spice dinner menu, served every day, which includes two appetizer selections among edamame, Indonesian corn fritters, avocado crispy rice and tuna tartare. Mains are an intriguing selection of sushi, like the crunchy salmon roll and Sugar roll with shrimp tempura. The Miami Spice dinner menu is $60, but you can upgrade to dishes like Wagyu short rib or picanha for an extra charge.

Feel Like You’re Dining in Rome

A trio of chefs from MICHELIN-starred restaurants in Europe opened Novatore, an Italian eatery in Wynwood that serves original twists on dishes you know and love. The restaurant feels decidedly Roman, from the columns filling the room to images of the Roman Colosseum on the wall. The wine selection also doubles as decor, as you’ll dine among bottles and bright lights. Novatore’s Miami Spice menu offers a good look at what these chefs can do, with Uovo (egg, parmigiano reggiano foam, potato paste and fresh truffle), Vitello Tonato (roast eye round, tuna, anchovies, capers and egg) and Il Carciofo (artichoke with taleggio cheese) starting things off. Main course options include duck Genovese with honey and pecorino cheese; branzino with escarole; and cacio e pepe. Novatore’s $60 dinner will be available Tuesday-Sunday.
