Restaurants Overview

Miami's restaurant scene is a quirky mix of exotic adventure and upscale glamour. You can sample dishes from all over the globe and pay just a few dollars, or you can have the meal of a lifetime and spend accordingly. It's all happening in Miami, birthplace of New World cuisine, a high-flavor, low-fat melding of fresh seafood and exotic fruits, spices, and veggies. At the hottest tables, you may well swoon with delight at each bite. (Or just plain swoon when the bill arrives, as those $20 appetizers and $35 entrées do add up!) If you'd rather avoid sticker shock, seek out the less-glitzy but more authentic ethnic eateries, timeless seafood shacks, and classic diners. Miami's got 'em all, and then some.
