Best Luxury Restaurants in Miami
A curated selection of Miami’s finest tables, from South Beach to the Design District, Brickell, Coral Gables and Bal Harbour, with the residence that puts you in the middle of it all.
Why Miami is a Luxury Dining Destination
In a few short years, Miami has become one of America’s most exciting food cities. The MICHELIN Guide arrived in 2022 and confirmed what locals already knew: this is a city of serious kitchens, from century-old beach institutions to glamorous Italian rooms, refined omakase counters and award-winning tasting menus. Great dining is spread across distinct neighbourhoods, and a private residence in South Beach puts most of them within easy reach.
How We Selected These Restaurants
This curated selection focuses on premium Miami restaurants with a strong reputation, a distinctive atmosphere and genuine lifestyle relevance for luxury travelers. We weigh reputation, experience and setting, and revisit the list as the city evolves.
