Miami for foodies

Best restaurants

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.
