It’s every South Florida food lover’s favorite time of year! Miami Spice has rolled in and taken over the 305 one delicious bite at a time. Having begun on June 1 and spanning through September 30, Miami Spice offers locals and tourists alike special prices on the city’s best diverse cuisine and culinary creations by world-renowned chefs for just $25 for lunch/brunch and $39 for dinner. With the rapid rise of COVID-19 cases, restaurants are quickly adapting to changing rules and are now providing Miami Spice via takeout for the first time, in addition to outdoor dining. Check out a few of our favorites below and their craving-inducing menus.
Italian Feast
Those looking for an authentic Italian dinner from North Beach should look no further than Café Prima Pasta. A true local gem and celebrity hotspot, this eatery never disappoints and South Foridians can now enjoy its fan-favorite menu, consisting of its bestselling Fiocchi Rapera and Lobster Ravioli, to-go. Equally as delicious, Toscana Divino, known for its Italian hospitality and sustainable practices, is also participating in Miami Spice this year. All of Toscana Divino’s ingredients are thoughtfully sourced, and patrons can enjoy a safe and socially-distanced, fine-dining experience at its picturesque, outdoor seating area in Mary Brickell Village.
French-Mediteranean Flare
Nestled in South Beach, Villa Azur offers an array of French-Mediterranean dishes, such as Seared Sea Bass paired with roasted summer veggies and Casera Spaghetti Guanciale, that can be savored on the restaurant’s expansive, open-air terrace under a canopy of trees. Guests can also enjoy Miami Spice at home and elevate their experience with one of the restaurant’s curated Spotify playlists available on their website.
Bold Indian Flavor
Miami Beach’s newest vegetarian Indian restaurant, Diya Sunset Harbour, is thrilled to participate in Miami Spice for the first time this year, with orders available for takeout. This Sunset Harbour eatery, led by Executive Chef and Epidemiologist Vidya Maharaj, boasts traditional, yet modern vegetarian Indian cuisine, centered around its approach of healing the body from within.
