Best Miami Spice Menus

The summer dining scene in Greater Miami & Miami Beach is heating up during Miami Spice Restaurant Months. Participating restaurants offer three-course prix fixe menus priced at $35 for lunch and brunch and $45/$60 for dinner throughout August and September. It’s the ideal opportunity to indulge in the best of the best at an incredible value. That’s why we’ve rounded up the most tantalizing Miami Spice menus you’ll find at some of Miami’s top restaurants.

Dinner Party Delights at Queen

Part Japanese steakhouse, part nightclub, Queen offers a high-flying, theatrical dining experience inside the historic Paris Theater on Washington Avenue in South Beach. 

Book a dinner reservation Tuesday through Saturday during Miami Spice and enjoy a $60 menu while feeling the energy rev up as the night goes on. 

The popular house-smoked bacon with miso mustard and apple kimchi is a must to start. Choose from roasted branzino in a Thai chili ponzu sauce or a yuzu mitsuba skirt steak for your entrée. For dessert, the dark chocolate souffle tart with vanilla custard is out of this world.

Asian Barbecue at KYU

A Wynwood classic given a second life, KYU reopened last year to the delight of Miami foodies. The stylish destination for wood-fired Asian cuisine has won many accolades, including a MICHELIN recommendation. 

During Miami Spice, KYU is offering a $60 menu Monday through Thursday, a $35 lunch menu Wednesday through Friday, and brunch on Saturdays. 

This is the kind of place to bring a group and order one of everything. Classic menu staples are featured during Spice, including roasted cauliflower with goat cheese and shishito herb vinaigrette, Korean fried chicken and miso Chilean seabass. There’s also Hamachi crudo, tuna crispy rice and pork belly bao buns. At brunch, soft shell crab takes eggs Benedict to new heights. And for dessert, there’s Mom’s coconut cake and KYU’s signature cinnamon rolls.

Doya, a Mediterranean Hotspot in Wynwood

Doya has garnered a cult following for its fresh and flavorful Greek and Turkish fare. Set in a convivial industrial space with a sprawling outdoor terrace, it’s a lively destination for lunch or dinner. It has also earned the MICHELIN Bib Gourmand distinction for offering great food at a great value. 

That deal’s even sweeter during Miami Spice when Doya is offering $60 dinner menus and $35 lunch menus every day of the week. 

You can look forward to dinner appetizers, such as the greens and fig salad with feta, watermelon, radish, hazelnuts and pomegranate, and lunch appetizers like beetroot hummus. From a fisherman stew to lamb chops and skirt steak at dinner, to beef kofte, truffle and kasseri cheese pide and wood-fired chicken thigh at lunch, the entrées deliver. For dessert, pistachio baklava is the perfect Turkish delight.

Channel the South of France at Seaspice

With its festive vibes and yachts pulling up to the dock near Downtown Miami on a bend of the Miami River, Seaspice channels the South of France with a decadent menu to match. 

During Miami Spice, it’s offering a $60 dinner menu Tuesday through Sunday, plus a $35 lunch menu Tuesday through Friday, and brunch Saturday and Sunday. 

Dinner entrée highlights include grilled filet mignon, grilled branzino with baby zucchini, capers and lemon, and rigatoni al limone with grilled calamari and garlic gremolata. For brunch fans, the short rib or smoked salmon Benedicts are excellent, while lunchtime entrées include a Wagyu burger, a branzino filet sandwich and rigatoni pesto. You could easily make the case for returning to Seaspice multiple times during Spice to sample all its fabulous menu options.

Red Rooster, an Instant Classic in Historic Overtown

When celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson opened an outpost of Red Rooster, his iconic Harlem restaurant, in Historic Overtown, he created an instant classic in the historically Black neighborhood. It has the same lively spirit and emphasis on soul food as the Harlem original, with a menu that also highlights Caribbean cuisine and Miami’s bountiful local seafood options. 

During Miami Spice, swing by for dinner Wednesday through Sunday when the restaurant offers a $45 menu. 

Start with jerk chicken empanadas or smoked salmon toast on sourdough with pickled shallots. Go for the crispy fried snapper in Creole sauce or the braised pork shank for your entrée. The Mississippi mud pie is a comforting Southern dessert.

Savor Cuban classics at Cafe La Trova for Miami Spice

Classic Cuban at Cafe La Trova

Dinner at Cafe La Trova in Little Havana is a fully immersive experience. Created by James Beard Award-winning chef Michelle Bernstein and celebrated mixologist Julio Cabrera, it’s a celebration of Old Havana, complete with cantinero-style bartenders in bowties and live Trova music. 

During Miami Spice, it’s offering a $45 dinner menu Sunday through Thursday. 

All the classic Cuban favorites are on the menu, including croquetas, empanadas, skirt steak ropa vieja and braised mojo marinated pork shoulder. For dessert, flan is the perfect sweet ending.

Toast to Italian tradition at Bellini

Dine above Coconut Grove’s treetop canopy with views out to Biscayne Bay at Bellini, a sophisticated Italian restaurant crowning the Mr. C Coconut Grove hotel, part of the Cipriani hospitality empire. 

During Miami Spice, it’s offering a $60 dinner menu Monday through Friday and a $35 lunch menu Monday through Saturday. 

The beef carpaccio, which the Cipriani family is credited with creating, is a must. Pair that with the fried mozzarella in “carozza” and you’ve got a perfect start to dinner. Pasta entrées range from cavatelli with yellow tomato sauce at lunchtime to spaghetti alle vongole and lasagna Bolognese at dinner. Finish your meal with a palate-cleansing lemon sorbet or the rich tiramisu.
