Palmar, Casa Tua Cucina, Alter, and More, Now on The Resy Hit List

Because Chinese food finally gets an upgrade – complete with tropical Miami vibes. Jasmine smoked ribs, flat noodles tossed with braised rabbit, and roasted pork buns are among the highlights. Pro-tip: save room for dessert; the banana dulce de leche spring rolls are not to be missed.

Because ultra-swanky Casa Tua has gone big time, with a massive new outpost. The eatery features ten different concepts in one mega space, serving made-to-order pastas, Neapolitan pies, creamy gelato, and everything in between. Mamma mia!

Walk-ins only.

Because it’s about time Michael Schwartz gave Miami some waterfront eats. His new two-story, Biscayne Bay stunner boasts Schwartz’s signature farm-to-table bites, Bayfront views, and some of the best al fresco dining in the city.

For reservations, call the restaurant at (305) 702–5528.

Because Miami’s food hall mania has begun and 1-800-LUCKY is first on the scene. This Asian-themed hall boasts dumplings galore, bánh mìs (nestled in Sullivan Street bread), and the pièce de résistance: Instagram-worthy, fish-shaped ice cream cones filled with colorful soft serve.

Walk-ins only.

Because this hip seafood newcomer is reason enough for a jaunt to South Miami. Homestyle, feel-good eats like shrimp ‘po boys, crab-and-chorizo bucatini, and on-tap Moscow Mules make this spot a no-brainer.

Walk-ins only.

Because ‘tis the season for outdoor dining, and Charcoal has the best patio in town. Ideal for a laid-back evening with friends or a romantic dinner a deux, start with the house-made charcuterie board before moving to the Robata-grilled whole fish, and, for dessert, coconut cake.

Because cozy Cuban diner food is just what the doctor ordered in the these cool “winter” months. From the masterminds behind Finka Table & Tap — and with plates like alligator fried rice, Korean style fritas, and arroz con pollo fritters — this is definitely not abuela’s Cuban cuisine.

Walk-ins only.

Because no matter the hour, Beaker & Gray has you covered. This perpetual Wynwood hotspot offers every meal of the day from lunch to late-night, alongside creative mixed drinks. Opt for a signature concoction, like “Rose-Colored Glasses” or a Sunday morning cartoon-themed “Teenage Mutant Ginger Turtle”— and enjoy.

Because Alter’s bar is stepping up its game in a serious way. While the restaurant has received nearly every culinary accolade, the adjacent Bar Alter is making a name for itself, too. With its inventive cocktails, casual eats (with an elevated twist), and daily happy hour, it’s a delightful, can’t-miss offshoot.

Because now it’s easier than ever to enjoy a taste of Brazil — without the flight. Spring for traditional dishes (think farofas filled with bananas, cheese bread) and plenty of caipirinhas.
