To Dine

Flavors of the city — from hidden gems to culinary icons

Whether you’re in the mood for a casual local favorite or planning a night to remember, Miami’s dining scene serves up everything from fresh seafood to global fusion — all with a side of vibrant atmosphere.

For Casual & Local Favorites:

We always find ourselves back at Casa Tua Cucina in Brickell — a stylish, open-concept market eatery perfect for lunch or low-key dinners. Around the neighborhood, Mister 01 serves up cult-favorite pizzas, while Kush is a beloved burger joint with local flair. River Oyster Bar is a neighborhood staple for seafood lovers, and for something easy and crowd-pleasing, Moxie’s and Balans hit the mark.

For Elevated Evenings in Brickell & Beyond:

Brickell’s upscale dining scene never disappoints. Favorites include the Peruvian-Japanese fusion of Osaka Nikkei, the French-Mediterranean charm of LPM, bold flavors at Dirty French, and the exclusive Chateau ZZ’s.

For Iconic Nights in Miami Beach:

Casa Tua (the original) remains a classic — with its romantic garden perfect for special evenings. Also on the beach: the chic Japon at The Setai, French-inspired La Boucherie, and the always-buzzed-about Carbone.

Design District & Wynwood Favorites:

In the Design District, we’re drawn to the sleek sophistication of Cote and Atelier Joël Robuchon — both ideal for culinary connoisseurs. For something more laid-back but equally flavorful, Doya and Mandolin serve up Mediterranean favorites in lush garden settings. Newcomers like Mother Wolf and Sparrow in Wynwood are also making waves.

By the River:

Looking for waterfront vibes? Casa Neos on the Miami River delivers with vibrant energy, stylish design, and a scene that’s quickly becoming a local favorite.

To Play

Where the city comes alive — from rooftop cocktails to late-night legends

We’ll be honest — we’re not out every night, but we know where the city goes when it wants to celebrate. Whether you’re chasing the beat, the view, or just a perfect negroni, here’s where to go when the sun goes down.

For Rooftop Views & Elevated Vibes:

Start with a cocktail at Sugar in East Brickell — lush, scenic, and always buzzing as the sky turns pink.

For the Iconic Miami Night Out:

If you’re ready to dance until sunrise, head to staples like Club Space, LIV, or E11EVEN — all legendary for a reason. Just bring your energy.

New-Wave Cool:

For something a little more curated, Miami Sound Bar, Mad Radio, and Dante’s HiFi are newer spots making waves for their vibe, music, and style.

Laid-Back & Local:

Looking for something chill but still full of character? Try Medium Cool or Barceloneta — where the drinks are solid and the crowd is effortlessly local.

For a Lounge with a Scene:

Casa Donna transitions from dinner to DJ sets with ease, while The Living Room at Faena delivers upscale lounging with moody glamour and just the right amount of spectacle.

To Explore

Art, culture, and a little unexpected magic.

Miami isn’t just about beaches and nightlife — it’s also a creative hub full of world-class art, design, and live performance. Here’s where we go when we’re in the mood to be inspired.

For Street Art & Contemporary Cool:

Start in Wynwood — a neighborhood where every wall is a canvas. The Wynwood Walls are a must-see, but the whole district offers color, energy, and endless photo ops. Nearby, don’t miss the Rubell Museum, home to one of the country’s most important private contemporary art collections.

For World-Class Museums:

The sleek and serene Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is a waterfront gem, blending modern art with lush architecture. Just a few blocks away, the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) pushes boundaries with thought-provoking exhibitions year-round.

For Something Playful:

Bring out your inner kid (or your actual kids) at the Museum of Ice Cream — a pastel playground of immersive fun, perfect for families or Instagram-friendly outings.

For Live Arts & Entertainment:

Catch a Broadway show, ballet, or symphony at the stunning Adrienne Arsht Center — a cultural anchor in Downtown Miami. For major concerts and events, Hard Rock Stadium and Bayfront Park Amphitheater host international artists and unforgettable shows throughout the year.

To Unwind

Find your escape — in the waves, under the palms, or above the city skyline

Miami isn’t just a place to play — it’s also where we go to slow down, breathe in the salt air, and reconnect. Whether you’re seeking beach bliss, a spa day, or just a quiet morning with the sunrise, here are our favorite ways to unwind.

For Beach Days & Ocean Views:

Start your day with the sunrise at South Pointe Beach — where the ocean glows and the city feels quiet. Mid-Miami Beach and Sunny Isles Beach offer gentler crowds and wide sands, while Crandon Park brings a more natural, tropical escape. Heading north? Fort Lauderdale Beach is just a short drive away, and we love the scene around W Fort Lauderdale, where we also host vacation rentals.

Poolside Perfection:

The pool decks at W South Beach and W Brickell / ICON are some of the most beautiful in town — lined with palms, chic loungers, and surrounded by ocean or skyline views. Many of our properties are located here, making it even easier to stay in style.

For Spa Days:

When it’s time to reset, book a treatment at the Icon Spa — legendary for a reason. Or head to the recently renovated W South Beach Spa for a luxurious refresh.

Into the Outdoors:

One of our favorite local escapes is Bill Baggs Cape Florida Park — perfect for biking, beach picnics, or visiting the historic lighthouse. Miami Beach itself is wonderful to walk at sunrise, especially at South Pointe, where the magic of morning is unforgettable.

And don’t forget the city’s many green pockets: relax under banyan trees in Coconut Grove, explore Key Biscayne, or wander through Museum Park by PAMM. In high season, just stepping outside becomes the best activity of all.
