Resy’s Miami Spice Hit List: Ariete, Byblos, and More

Because enjoy a taste of Cuba without leaving the Grove. Start with a yucca salad, then dive into Ariete’s famous pepitas-topped frita chorizo burger. For a perfectly sweet ending, opt for the tres leches cake.

Because Bazaar Mar is the place to see and be seen. This ultra-swanky Jose Andres seafood spot highlights whimsical favorites on its Spice menu – like lobster croquettes, tuna-topped air breads (filled with spicy mayo!), oyster ceviche, and the most creative key lime pie in town.

Because this Mediterranean stunner boasts an impressive Spice menu, and neither its food nor its scene can be beat. The fabulous dinner feast on offer includes lamb ribs, spicy shakshouka, short-rib kebabs, sweet and tangy jeweled rice, and a pistachio ice cream pizzelle.

Because unlimited wine makes Spice twice as nice. After 8:30 p.m., and for just $20 more, add unlimited vino to your carnivore-friendly meal of seafood charcuterie, filet mignon, wagyu brisket pastrami, and coconut cake. Cheers to that.

For reservations, call the restaurant at (305) 340-3333.

Because if you haven’t already enjoyed Daniel Boulud’s decadent French classics, now is the time. Indulge in his signature dishes, like steak tartare, coq au vin, and steak frites. The entire table will be saying, “Oui, oui!”

Because in Miami, ceviche always reigns supreme. Use that as your starting point and then spring for delicious entrees, like garlic-rubbed ribeye or chanterelle-dotted risotto, and, for dessert, the Nutella mousse (natch).

Because what’s better than a cookie butter sundae? Not much– especially when it’s served after a meal of Spanish octopus and melt-in-your-mouth short-ribs. At Beaker & Gray the sundae is the cherry on top of a fantastic meal.

Because when is lobster not a good idea? The coveted crustacean is the star of Lobster Bar Sea Grille’s Spice menu. Start with the lobster bisque and follow with the signature stuffed lobster, with all the fixings. Vanilla profiteroles with dark chocolate sauce and sugar-roasted almonds complete the meal.

For reservations, call the restaurant at (305) 377-2675.

Because dinner with a seaside view is just what date night calls for. Don’t miss the banana leaf-wrapped paiche (topped with bacon for the perfect amount of smoke) or the La Pina dessert, which is just the right amount of sweet.

For reservations, call the restaurant at (305) 913-8358.

Because brunch deserves the same love as dinner, and Bakehouse offers its popular take for Miami Spice. Start with the signature quiche before delving into croissant French toast and, finally, the flourless chocolate tart. It’s oh-so worth it.
