Best Food in Miami: The Classics
Let’s start with something simple: the classics. Special for those who just want some good comfort food. In my case, I love Italian. It always makes me feel better, no matter what is going on. And it’s so delicious!
North Italia is easily one of the best Italian restaurants in Miami. They make everything handmade from scratch, and their Italian essence stays intact. They use super fresh ingredients, and I feel transported to Italy whenever I’m there. The menu has a special weekend brunch menu and unique options for lunch and dinner.
My favorite dishes at North Italia are the Chef’s Charcuterie boards, a must for a reunion with the girls, and the Prosciutto pizza. I love how they can also give you gluten-free substitutes for pizza, so everyone is allowed to enjoy this incredible food.
For those who love steak, Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse is an amazing option. This restaurant is in the heart of South Beach and features Brazilian-inspired plates and churrasco. They also offer a range of South American wines and hand-crafted cocktails, perfect for a night out.
When it comes to Mediterranean food, Issabella’s goes for the win. It is located on Lincoln Road, and they combine traditional dishes and adapt them to Miami’s modern lifestyle. They have one of the best brunch in Miami, and their Mediterranean avocado toast is to die for. Don’t forget to try their Crispy Calamari and Beef Carpaccio as well.
Speaking of the best brunch in Miami, Little Hen Miami needs to be your go-to. They have one of the most extensive brunch menus I have ever seen and all their localities are beautifully decorated, you feel like you are in a movie. I mean, they have the famous Rose Petal Pancakes! I also recommend their Afternoon tea selection and their sammies. This is the ideal place to go with your besties.
If you’re looking for seafood, LoLa 41 is the place for Sushi and Lionfish Modern Coastal Cuisine in Delray Beach is the place for all things seafood. Both these places are incredible, their menus are super creative, and the vibe is something else. I love to go here for a romantic night out.
For my healthy ladies, try Pura Vida Las Olas, this healthy food restaurant offers all kinds of healthy food without being boring. They have a full range of bowls, wraps and sandwiches, salads, and acai bowls. They also offer the best juices and shots. I always love stopping here on my way home from the gym, I get to eat delicious options without losing my progress.
Last but not least, if you want to experience something different while eating, Atmos Immersive Dining is for you. Here, you can experience a gastronomic trip around Europe or South America without leaving Florida through their 3D experiences. Technology and gastronomy come together to make for the best dining experience. It is so worth it!

Best Bars in Miami
When it comes to drinks, there are tons of places in Florida where you can enjoy a night out with your friends. However, only a few are worth your while and your money! The Wilder is one of the best lounges in Fort Lauderdale. It features three rooms with incredible handcrafted cocktails and exquisite bites.
In Boca Raton, you can find Loch Bar, a seafood tavern and whiskey bar with a wide selection of craft beers and handcrafted cocktails. If you are a whiskey lover, you will love Loch Bar for its huge list of whiskeys.
No Man’s Land is one of the sexiest bars in Fort Lauderdale, I have never seen something like their drinks. I always have such a good time every time I go there, and the decoration inside is insane, it all follows the same concept. Don’t forget to try the food too, the oysters are delicious!
1 Beach Club in South Beach has become my favorite beach lounge. It offers a peaceful environment with excellent drinks, food, and service. You get to enjoy the beauty of nature while enjoying specialty cocktails and organic Mediterranean food. The place is fully sustainable, and spirituality is its core.
