ABOUT

When it comes to casting unanticipated emulsion food that strikes all the right notes, cook Cesar Zapata is a master, so, naturally, we invited him to hold court at Time Out Market Miami. Learn how our request curation works then, but principally we tasted his food, reviewed his eatery and eventually, recommended him for a coveted spot. Then’s why Cesar Zapata’s great Viet- Cajun trial began as a pop- up in 2011. The response? further, please. And so Phuc Yea was born in Miami’s MiMo District, an area that has thankfully ballooned with culinary gift over recent times. Phuc Yea is no small part of that balloon. The eatery enjoys a high position on Biscayne Boulevard in a structure that formerly housed the Sir WilliamHotel.However, the inside riots a further ultramodern Miami station with dashes of Wynwood artificial enthusiasm, Asian flare and a tiki bar shadow, If the outside of Phuc Yea sings old- academy glamour. The Vietnamese/ Cajun menu leans towards Asian plates with a succulent selection of pho, bao buns and Bánh mì sandwiches for lunch. The Cajun influence is clearly visible, however, especially in dishes similar as the Cajun fried rice or the smoked duck ’n’ grits, a brunch fave. And before you get too full, we should mention that the coconut chuck
pudding, served in a heavy cast iron skillet, is veritably conceivably the stylish cate
in Miami. Still, do n’t get too attached to any of the below. Zapata seems to always be tweaking and tinkering with his eatery — leading to veritably positive results. The most recent illustration comes in the new lobby blend chesterfield, Madame Phuong, where beaneries can now chesterfield around and belt the bar’s inventive amalgamations and sake or order from the late- night menu, which features beef pho, the hand house pate dish( carpeted in garlic, oyster sauce and parmesan) and indeed Colombian empanadas — because why the hell not?

Where differently can you order deviled eggs, a rum old fashioned and dance the night down to'90s hipsterism- hop?

While utmost folks will noway get out to one of those legendary wood- support houses off Biscayne Bay, they now can savor a fresh catch straight from those waters at Stiltsville.

Then, he and mate/ cook Janine Booth turn introductory chow into commodity instigative — think smoked oysters, pimento rubbish cakes and spoonable sludge chuck
piled with fresh lobster. Sides and small starters similar as the scallops with plantain chips, cobia ceviche with sour orange and mofongo — introduce some Latin faculty to the else American menu.

Danny Serfer doubled the size of his hipsterism, cozy restaurant in MiMo, giving you further room to dig into his succulent leftover- curing, comfort food. Head to the covered yard or the new out-of-door beer theater for the usual “ eggy stuff ” and “ thick stuff, ” including a bacon- egg- and- rubbish burrito the size of your head. Blue Collar’s notorious dry-aged cheeseburger is always on the menu and is always a good idea.

ABOUT

To be considered a good eatery, every place needs to nail service, air and, utmost of all, what they are putting on the plate. But to be truly great, a eatery ought to have a many effects that are harder to achieve locally sourced constituents, an inspired list of wines and amalgamations, and a cook willing to do effects that are downright bold. Ariete, the cozy and buzzy Coconut Grove eatery with Michael Beltran as its cook, has all of those effects. Let's talk about that last bone
because many cookers take further pitfalls than Beltran. He puts effects on his menu that you see nowhere differently and that not only work but come dishes you ’ll talk about for times, keeping the prints on your phone for regale party exchanges. The pressed duck might be the stylish illustration of this, a dish for two that begins with the garçon bringing out a 14- day dry-aged raspberry for examination. It arrives again latterly as part of a tableside show where the bone will be seared, served alongside a pungent- courtesan salad and a roasted calabaza tamal. also the innards — then’s where it gets weird — get smashed by a hand- turned press, right there coming to you, with the liquid that’s produced reduced down into a sauce. Every single table will turn to watch the process, which is n’t only fascinating but also produces a series of duck dishes that are as succulent as they're new to utmost everyone.

ABOUT

The third restaurant from nightlife entrepreneur David Grutman, opened in partnership with Toronto-based Chase Hospitality Group, doles out vegan fare, fresh-pressed juice cocktails and veggie sushi, which actually tastes like the real stuff. By now we know that Grutman doesn’t attach his name to flops (Komodo and OTL are two veritable culinary successes) and Planta seemingly won’t be his first—the South of Fifth spot is already packing in the designer-clad crowds he usually draws. But unlike the pricey Komodo or the chilled out OTL, Planta’s menu is so varied, approachable (a tall order for plant-based food) and affordable you might consider dining here often. You’ll hardly miss the cheese in the rich queso dip, which subs in carrots and potatoes for the dairy, and find yourself appreciating the real corn flavors in the side of fresh chips. The pizzas, particularly the Frenchie topped with arugula and mushrooms, are at once doughy and crispy but won’t bloat you like regular pies (and they can be ordered gluten-free). Don’t miss the eatery’s selection of fresh-pressed juice cocktails—the Aloe Views with actual aloe vera is like a healthy, fizzy mule—or the vegan desserts.

ABOUT

Scoring a reservation at Zuma is a small victory worth working for. The London transplant’s acclaimed Japanese izakaya, an increasingly popular style of informal dining, is anything but casual (see: no shorts or beachwear allowed). The riverfront restaurant is filled—day and night—with stunning people who know they’re as much a part of the show as the orchestrated action in the spacious open kitchen. Expect a massive selection of modern Japanese bites, from sea bass sashimi with yuzu, salmon roe and truffle oil to tiger prawn tempura. Zuma also has one of the best brunches in town. It’s a baikingu (buffet) set-up, meaning you have access to a generous spread of the menu’s most talked about items. Short on time during the workday? Opt for the set lunch that aims to serve guests in less than one hour.    

Time Out tip: The weekend brunch at Zuma is the best bang for your buck: bottomless champagne, unlimited helpings from a buffet stacked with Japanese starters and sushi, your choice of entrée like spicy beef tenderloin or miso cod, and an Instagrammable dessert platter for the table is just $99.

Every table boasts a view of Biscayne Bay (if not floating right above it) and the menu is fresh and globally inspired with lots of fresh seafood dishes (think ceviche and branzino) and vegetarian options perfect for noshing by the Mondrian pool.

ABOUT

Osaka, the internationally renowned eatery from Lima, makes a strong case for tucking into dinner food at noon. Its new weekend brunch leans heavily on its classic Nikkei dishes, such as the crowd-pleasing tuna rocoto and various interpretations of ceviche and tiradito, plus crispy pork belly served over salad. A smattering of breakfast-y things do make the cut and they’ve got Osaka’s stamp all over them: the caco matcha french toast with yuzu custard, miso toffee, matcha and cornflake crumble is an instant favorite.

ABOUT

More than a restaurant, Green Street is a gathering place for a confluence of cyclists, dog parents, families and people seeking a shady spot where to enjoy Miami’s sunny weather. The nicer the day, the longer the wait time, though the bar serves cocktails and food on a first-come, first-served basis. The view and experience are quintessential Miami— lots of well-dressed people lingering over breakfast fare and sipping mimosas along a busy sidewalk. People watching is superb and so is the variety of Bloody Marys.

ABOUT

It’s rare to see the glass doors of this spacious, corner-facing restaurant closed—on most nights, the crowds around the enormous bar spill out onto the sidewalk. Admittedly, it’s the inventive cocktail menu and drink specials that lure the after-work crowd, but the tantalizing aromas wafting from the open kitchen convince them to stay. Feast on classic tapas such as tortilla and garlicky shrimp as well as the signature huevos Bulla, a modern twist on huevos estrellados—which brings together crispy potato chips, fried eggs, potato foam, truffle oil and jamón Serrano.

ABOUT

Not all brunch needs to feel like you’re competing in the Binge-Drinking Olympics. Sometimes, a poached, farm-fresh egg served over crusty Zak the Baker bread smothered in smashed avocado (the Smashed Avo) and a cold-brewed Panther coffee is all you need to feel like you’re winning at brunch. Going for gold? Order a side of bacon and monkey bread for the table (or yourself). As any good athlete should know, a pre-game snack is important. Waiting times typically exceed 30 minutes on weekends, so plan accordingly. Come starving and you might be disqualified.

ABOUT

A mainstay for diners looking for a spectacular view and solid seafood offerings, Rusty Pelican is the exact restaurant one expects in Miami. The waterfront establishment is especially popular during weekend brunch, when a lavish buffet boasting modern American fare takes over the regular á la carte menu. On a clear night, head to the restaurant's outdoor patio for cocktails, happy hour (available Monday through Friday from 4 to 7pm) and general people and yacht watching.

ABOUT

Flashy though it may be, Miami is still a part of the American South: the region that spawned fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, pretty much fried anything. One need only venture a few steps off Lincoln Road to try these comfort food staples, all of them made from scratch and most of it sourced locally. The buzz surrounding Yardbird has been deafening since its birth in 2011 (plans to expand the concept to New York City and Las Vegas are currently in the works). At the center of this publicity maelstrom? Yardbird’s now-famous fried chicken—a recipe that takes 27 hours to prepare and can be ordered up as a slider (Mama’s Chicken Biscuits) or on a plate (Llewellyn’s Fine Fried Chicken). Wash it down with a whiskey-based house cocktail (Blackberry Lemonade—made with lemon juice, organic blackberries, cardamom and sparkling wine—is a customer favorite).
