How to Dine Well in Miami This December

During the first week of December, Miami swells with locals and visitors in town to see art, but it’s not just fairs and galleries that are in high demand: restaurant reservations are a hot ticket, too.

“Where to eat in Miami during art week has become just as important to many festival-goers as the art itself,” says Resy CEO Pablo Rivero.

To guide diners to the best eats in the city Resy published, Resy Presents: The Ultimate Guide to Miami Dining. The editorial hub aims to answer a question that is important to many visiting the city, “Where should I eat in Miami right now?”

In addition, Resy and American Express curated a pop-up daytime lounge within Untitled Art (featuring Stephanie Izard), a lineup of one-night-only dining experiences with renowned chefs (featuring Massimo Bottura, Gregory Gourdet, Virgilio Martínez, Ayesha Nurdjaja and more), and exclusive access to top Miami restaurants (Mandolin, Boia De, Maty’s and more) for eligible American Express Card Members.

“Our lineup of dining events brings together art, culture, and cuisine from the incredible chefs and Resy restaurants in Miami and beyond,” says Rivero.
