My Favorite Bars and Restaurants in Miami

If only I had a dollar for every time someone asked me, “can you recommend a great place to eat in Miami” or any variation of it 💸

So here we are, a running list of my favorite places to eat and drink (not party, but drink) in Miami as of February 2023.

My goal is to continue updating this - either adding new recommendations or removing them if I haven’t visited in the past year. Since I’m a Yelp Elite, I’ll be linking to Yelp which should have details like the address, times, menu & hopefully a review from me! I am gluten-free so most of these places should be gluten-free friendly. Also, I won’t list any place I haven’t visited in the past year, because I take my recommendations very… very seriously!
