Best Restaurants In Wynwood

Known for its sky-scraping murals and colorful storefronts, Wynwood has long drawn crowds with its lively art scene – but the neighborhood’s culinary scene is just as exciting these days. From sleek and sexy Japanese to a MICHELIN-recommended steakhouse, modern Mexican-Mediterranean fusion and award-winning smash burgers, here are some of the best restaurants in Wynwood.

Hiyakawa

Traditional Japanese dishes are featured at Hiyakawa, making this MICHELIN-recommended spot one of the best Wynwood restaurants to visit when you’re craving East Asian cuisine. Expect seasonal dishes and exceptional service.

The menu is simple and clean, centering the ingredients in dishes like wagyu gyoza, Hitachi wagyu and nigiri made from sea eel or salmon. For dessert, round out your meal with chiffon cake or yuzu honey mochi.

Bakan

The menu at Bakan celebrates traditional Mexican flavors in a lively atmosphere. This restaurant has a combined indoor-outdoor space and a large selection of mezcals that pair perfectly with dishes prepared over their wood fire grill.

Peer into the open-view kitchen and watch your meal being prepared after placing your order. Choose from fresh guacamole and queso fundido as an appetizer, but don't miss the zucchini flower quesadillas. You'll also find a variety of insect-based dishes like Chicatana ants salsa.

dōma

Located on a quieter Wynwood street, dōma specializes in Southern Italian cuisine that’s equal parts comforting and elegant. Here, traditional flavors take on a contemporary edge in an atmosphere that’s dimly lit and buzzing with locals. 

Begin your meal with grilled octopus or zucchini flowers tempura as an appetizer before ordering a stand-out dish like tagliolini al tartufo nero or homemade ricotta ravioli. Dōma also has an extensive wine collection and cocktail menu for pairing with your meal.

Zak the Baker

A kosher bakery situated around the corner from the Wynwood Walls street art museum, Zak the Baker is a must for anyone craving artisanal baked goods made from scratch. Come for an assortment of pastries including croissants, cinnamon rolls and babka – but the true hero here is the bread.

The menu’s overflowing with options ranging from walnut and cranberry sourdough and ciabatta rolls to Challah bread you can preorder on Thursdays for Friday night Shabbat. Don’t skip the sandwiches, like the Reuben on sourdough Jewish rye, or a bowl of the vegan lentil soup.

Ossobuco

Ossobuco is a Miami MICHELIN-recommended steakhouse transforming simple ingredients into extraordinary meals. Chef and grill master Guillermo Eleicegui serves globally-inspired plates for dinner daily. The main focuses are meat and vegetables, both of which are prepared over an open fire.

Treat yourself to a Black Angus or Phoenix Australian Wagyu Tomahawk, each served with herb butter chimichurri and caramelized shallots. For lighter fare, opt for burrata and shaved zucchini, street corn or truffle mac and cheese.

Cowy Burger

When you’re craving a simple burger that’s full of flavor, Cowy Burger is the spot. Like any good burger joint, its menu features a wide variety of sides including bacon cheese fries and truffle fries, along with an assortment of milkshakes. Of course, you can’t come here without ordering an award-winning smash burger.

The standard Cowy Burger comes with American cheese, grilled onions, bacon jam and Cowy sauce. Or choose from variations like the Chicken Chaser Burger, which replaces the beef patty with a chicken thigh, or the Cabrito Burger, featuring goat cheese, Spanish chorizo, fried sweet potato, green sauce and honey.

Grails Miami

It’s hailed as a sports bar, but Grails Miami is actually one of the best places to eat in Wynwood, too. The indoor lounge with its rare sneakers on display makes for a unique spot to dine, or head out to the Miami Vice-themed patio for a relaxing meal with friends.

Catch the game on one of Grails’ 70+ TVs while munching on fan favorites like the “All-American” Smash Burger, poke nachos or creamy Jamaican jerk pasta. You can also order shareable starters like a sampler platter with onion rings, jalapeño poppers and chicken tenders for the whole group.

Mayami Wynwood

Mayami Wynwood is a vibrant, Mexican-Mediterranean fusion spot set in a striking, Tulum-inspired space that combines Oaxacan, Mexican and Yucatán architectural elements. It’s home to a popular happy hour and is famed for its nightly dinner shows that range from DJs and fire dancers to live singers.

Start with a simple appetizer like guacamole before ordering Japanese wagyu tacos or truffle pasta. And for dessert, don’t miss the Basque cheesecake or churros dipped in cajeta, a traditional Mexican caramel sauce.

Sha Wynwood

Sha Wynwood is a Mediterranean-Asian fusion restaurant with a cozy interior dining space. Come in for dinner on weekdays to sample a variety of appetizers, like gravlax-style salmon marinated in lemon and mint or torched tuna carpaccio.

On weekends, Sha opens earlier for brunch and serves classic dishes like Croque Madame and Eggs Benedict. With optional bottomless mimosas or Aperol spritzes, you can’t go wrong visiting Sha on a Saturday or Sunday – but make a reservation first, if possible.
