While it's technically not on Lincoln Road, it's worth the walk one block south to Time Out Market Miami—our editorially curated food-and-culture destination. It's a one-stop shop for some of the best food in Miami, including killer fried chicken from celebrity chef Amaris Jones, Detroit-style pizza by Jeremiah Bullfrog, Instagrammable desserts by award-winning pastry chef Antonio Bachour and so much more. Plus, did we mention happy hour is every day and twice on Fridays and Saturdays? Yep, you can't beat it.
Lincoln Road restaurants often get a bad wrap due to the strip’s nature of being known as a bit of a tourist trap filled with pushy hostesses vying for your attention. But this pedestrian-only stretch of shops, galleries and restaurants is actually home to some pretty great places to eat. Whether it’s date night or you’re looking for a quick bite after spending the day on a Miami beach, there are a lot of options for restaurants on Lincoln Road, but you’re bound to find something great if you know what you’re looking for. It may seem shocking but, three of the best rooftop bars in Miami are located along this iconic strip. Stroll through during the day and you’ll be greeted with local vendors who set up shop on different days of the month, plus you never know when there will be live music playing making for a perfect playlist as you explore the area.
