Best Restaurants in Miami

Cafecito at the window, omakase at midnight.

Miami eats on two clocks. By day it runs on cafecito from a ventanita, croquetas by the dozen and Little Havana counters that have outlasted every trend; by night it turns into tasting counters, open-fire kitchens and Michelin-starred rooms from Brickell to the Design District. Peruvian, Haitian, Venezuelan and Nicaraguan cooks keep the whole thing honest, and the best stone crab in the country is in season every fall.
