Miami eats late, eats loudly, and eats across most of Latin America before it gets anywhere near a cheeseburger. This list reflects that: it runs from a Cuban grill that never closes to a Nicaraguan kitchen in the 33135, with two Argentinian steakhouses, three Italian kitchens, a sushi counter and two seafood rooms in between. What separates these 12 is less the cuisine than the clock: one serves until 03:00 every night, another shuts between lunch and dinner, and a third has no Saturday lunch at all, so knowing which is which saves you a wasted taxi. The list is for visitors who would rather plan around a kitchen's real hours than around a brochure, and for anyone who suspects, correctly, that the best table in this city is often the one still seating people after everyone else has gone home. Addresses, hours and phone numbers are given as recorded, so check the restaurant's own site before you commit to a late one.

1 Piola Brickell
1250 South Miami Avenue, Miami, FL 33130A card built on pizza and pasta, served until 24:00 on Fridays and Saturdays
Pizza and pasta share the card at Piola Brickell, and nothing else is asked to. That short brief is the appeal: a kitchen that does two things and does not pretend to do twelve. Skip the sprawling everything-menus that crowd the tourist strips; a narrow card is usually the honest one. You will find it at 1250 South Miami Avenue in the 33130. The hours are generous without being reckless: 11:00 to 23:00 Monday through Thursday, 11:00 to 24:00 on Friday, then a 12:00 start at the weekend, closing at 24:00 on Saturday and 23:00 on Sunday. This address has its own page on the Piola site, and the phone line is +1-305-374-0031 if you would rather hold a table than a place in the queue. Go on a Friday, go late, and order one of each.

2 Baires grill
1010 South Miami Avenue, Miami, FL 33130Argentinian steakhouse and barbecue cooking, with the latest close of the week on Sunday at 24:00
Baires Grill sits at 1010 South Miami Avenue in the 33130, listed as Argentinian, steakhouse, and barbecue all at once, and grill smoke at a place like this has a way of drifting into conversation before the food even arrives. Know the clock before you book: the kitchen opens at 12:00 every day, closes at 23:00 Monday through Thursday and 23:30 on Friday and Saturday, then runs until 24:00 on Sunday. A steakhouse that saves its longest night for Sunday knows something about how its regulars eat. We'd book the late Sunday slot over the Saturday scramble. Call +1-786-580-4923, ask for a late slot, and let the meal take as long as it wants.

3 Felice Brickell
1450 Brickell Avenue, 33131Italian cooking on one unbroken schedule, 11:30 to 22:30 every day
Felice Brickell at 1450 Brickell Avenue in the 33131 cooks Italian on a schedule that every other restaurant on this list should study. The hours are the same every day, 11:30 to 22:30, with no gap between lunch and dinner and no late-night theatrics, which is a quiet kind of confidence. It also makes this the easiest table here to plan around: a 15:00 lunch is as welcome as a 20:00 dinner. Skip the places that make you eat at their convenience; an afternoon plate of pasta is one of the small luxuries of travel and too few kitchens allow it. The number is +1-305-526-4800 and the restaurant's site lives at felicerestaurants.com. Come in the dead hour after lunch, when the room is yours.

4 North Italia
900 South Miami Avenue, Miami, FL 33130Italian cooking served until 01:00 from Monday through Saturday
Italian is a crowded field in this city, and North Italia earns its place on the clock rather than the card. The kitchen at 900 South Miami Avenue in the 33130 cooks Italian until 01:00 from Monday through Saturday, opening at 11:30 on weekdays and 11:00 on Saturday. Sunday brings the early close, 11:00 to 23:00. That late close is worth flagging: a proper sit-down plate after midnight is rarer than it should be, and here it is available on a Tuesday. Skip the post-midnight slice eaten standing on a pavement; you can do better with a chair and a fork. The Miami location has its own page on the restaurant's site, and the line is +17864759100. Go after a show, not before one.

5 Kan Sushi
900 South Miami Avenue, Miami, FL 33130Sushi from 11:00 daily, running to 00:00 on Fridays and Saturdays
Kan Sushi is at 900 South Miami Avenue in the 33130, and the number to call is +12392667178. The kitchen opens at 11:00 every day; Sunday through Thursday it closes at 23:00, and on Fridays and Saturdays it runs to 00:00. The focus is sushi, full stop, with no second cuisine listed alongside it. That 11:00 opening matters more than it sounds: raw fish at lunch, in daylight, with a clear head, is a different meal from the same fish at the end of a long night. We'd skip the fusion counters that bury the rice under sauce; a place like this is best judged on the plainest thing it makes. Menu and booking details are at kan-sushi.com.

6 Amazonico
800 Brickell Avenue, Miami, FL 33131International cooking on a nightly schedule that runs from 17:00 to 03:00
Amazonico is at 800 Brickell Avenue in the 33131, and the kitchen is international, opening at 17:00 and running until 03:00, every night of the week. That is the latest close on this list, and it tells you how to use the place: there is no lunch because the doors are shut for it, so the whole operation points at the second half of the evening. Book accordingly, and we'd avoid the early seating if you have a choice; a dinner-only kitchen with a 03:00 finish is at its best once the first wave has left. Reservations go through amazonicorestaurant.com or +1-645-222-2000. Eat late, dress for it, and do not plan an early morning.

7 The River Oyster Bar
33 Southeast 7th Street, Miami, FL 33131Seafood in two daily services, 12:00 to 16:00 and 17:30 to 22:30
The River Oyster Bar at 33 Southeast 7th Street, 33131 runs two sittings a day, seven days a week: 12:00 to 16:00, then 17:30 to 22:30. That gap in the middle is the detail worth keeping in mind, because arriving at 16:30 means a locked door. The kitchen is a seafood one, and a split service means it resets properly between sittings, which is exactly what you want from somewhere handling shellfish. Locals arrive at the start of a sitting, when selection is widest, and we'd do the same rather than take what's left at the all-day seafood shacks that run their displays from noon to closing. Book on +1 305-530-1915 or through therivermiami.com, and aim for the 17:30 reopening.

8 Novikov
300 South Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, FL 33131-3828Seafood served in a lunch sitting to 15:00 and a dinner sitting from 18:00
Novikov closes its kitchen between 15:00 and 18:00 every day, and Saturday has no lunch service at all, so it pays to know the schedule before you book. Lunch runs 12:00 to 15:00 from Sunday through Friday; dinner opens at 18:00 every evening, running to 23:00 Sunday through Thursday and to 00:00 on Friday and Saturday. The address is 300 South Biscayne Boulevard, postal code 33131-3828, and the kitchen is seafood. A room like this reads differently at noon than at 21:00, and we'd take the weekday lunch as the smarter booking unless a crowd is what you came for. Call +13054891000 or go to novikovmiami.com.

9 Manolo & Rene Grill
188 Northeast 3rd AvenueCuban cooking at any hour, with the doors open 24/7
Manolo & Rene Grill, 188 Northeast 3rd Avenue, runs 24/7, making it the only kitchen on this list that never closes. The food is Cuban, which is exactly what this city reaches for when it is tired or hungry or both, and that combination is the whole recommendation. A Cuban grill open at dawn serves the night shift and the early shift at the same counter, which is a better portrait of a city than any tasting menu we can name. The locals eat here at hours when visitors are asleep, so leave the reservation mindset at the hotel: this is a place you walk into when the need arises. The number is +1 305-358-4488, the site is manologrill.com, and we'd keep the address in your phone for the night your flight lands late.

10 Rodeo Grill
401 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, FL 33132Steakhouse cooking in the Argentinian barbecue tradition, from 12:00 daily
Rodeo Grill is at 401 Biscayne Boulevard in the 33132, and the listing tells you what to expect in three words: steakhouse, Argentinian, barbecue. That order is a fair guide to what you should order, which is meat, cooked over heat, with as little ceremony as possible. The kitchen opens at 12:00 every day and closes at 23:00 Sunday through Thursday, pushing to 00:00 on Friday and Saturday; a noon start makes this a solid lunch option, and a steak at lunch is one of the better uses of a free afternoon. Skip the surf-and-turf platters designed for photographs; a grill house earns its reputation on a single cut and a single side. Call +1-786-232-0040 or check rodeogrillsteakhouse.com before you go, and arrive hungry enough to mean it.

11 Hard Rock Cafe
401 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, FL 33132American cooking on identical hours every day, 11:00 to 00:00
Hard Rock Cafe needs no introduction, so the argument here rests on practicalities, and those practicalities are solid. The address is 401 Biscayne Boulevard in the 33132, the menu is American cooking, and the hours run 11:00 to 00:00, the same every day of the week, with no dark Monday, no afternoon gap, no split service. When you are feeding a mixed group that cannot agree on where to eat and half of them are running out of steam, that consistency matters more than food writers tend to admit. We would never pitch it as a destination meal; treat it as a reliable kitchen with a long clock and it does exactly what it promises. The Miami location has its own page on the brand's site and answers at +1-305-377-3110. Go off-peak, sit down quickly, and keep the ambitious dinner for another night on the list.

12 Rakachaka Grill y Más
1280 Southwest 1st Street, Miami, FL 33135Latin American cooking with a Nicaraguan focus, from 10:00 to 22:00 daily
Rakachaka Grill y Más is at 1280 Southwest 1st Street in the 33135, cooking Latin American food with a Nicaraguan accent. It is the only Nicaraguan kitchen on this list and the only address in that postal code, and both facts are reasons to go. The doors open at 10:00, the earliest start on this list, and close at 22:00 every day, giving you a late breakfast, a long lunch, or an early dinner, but not a nightcap. Nicaraguan cooking gets far less attention from visitors than it earns in a city this thoroughly Latin American. The locals who keep grill houses like this one busy are feeding a neighbourhood, not a guidebook, and proximity to your hotel is a poor reason to pass it up. Call on +1-305-646-7900 or find them at rakachaka.com.
