In case you've missed it, Miami's dining scene has emerged as one of the most exciting in the country and, arguably, the world. Over the last decade or so, the city's collective palate has matured to encompass so much more than steakhouses, Italian chains and homey Cuban spots (though we've still got plenty of those, too). One day, you can be sipping cocktails at a sleek new omakase counter; the next, tucking into a bowl of golden-hued Peruvian ceviche. It's a beautiful, flavorful and occasionally overwhelming melange of cultures colliding on our plates in Miami, and we wouldn't want it any other way. January 2026: With Art Basel and the holidays behind us, January in Miami is a delightfully crisp and sunny month to get out and explore the city's ever-evolving culinary scene. Without too much risk of a rainstorm, now is a great time to dine al fresco, either on the water or a verdant tropical rooftop. It might be tougher than usual to score a table at many of these buzzing Miami restaurants, but there are plenty of more relaxed gems to check out this month, too. Whether you're partaking in a dry (or damp) January, setting new diet goals for the year or keeping the pleasure train rolling, Miami's best restaurants truly shine on all fronts this January.

Miamians stay on their fitness routines, as evidenced by the flurry of gyms that continue to open and thrive in the Magic City.

Catching up over a workout is cool, and this latest update offers plenty of places to do so, from a chic Pilates studio in Little River with a sauna to a buzzy fitness space in Coral Gables with some ligament-sparing technology (you’ll see). Whether you’re keeping the fitness train going or kickstarting the year with a new wellness routine, here’s where to get your sweat on in Miami.

These chilly mornings and breezy afternoons are all we need to know that Miami is officially peaking and an influx of snowbirds is around the corner. For now, traffic is pleasantly chill and there's a ton to take in this weekend.

Locals and tourists can agree that the best things to do in Miami extend beyond ounging on the sand—though it goes without saying that spending some time on the best Miami beaches is fundamental to life in the 305.

Miami’s tourism season begins peaking this time of year, which means while folks in other cities are prepping to hole up at home for days on end, we’re down here facing an overwhelming abundance of dining options on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It’s not just the reliable Chinese food spots—though we’ve definitely got that here, too. Cozy Italian trattorias, top-tier steakhouses, light and airy Mediterranean restaurants, Cuban lounges and French hotspots all feature this Christmas holiday in Miami.  Have a favorite spot in mind? We’d recommend checking their hours on reservation platforms like Resy and OpenTable—chances are, it’s open either on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, if not both. If you’re suffering from decision fatigue after weeks of shopping and planning, allow us to be of service. We’re highlighting some of our favorite Miami restaurants that are open for the holidays, especially spots with festive atmospheres and special offerings, from limited dishes to prix-fixe menus and brunch buffets.  Let this meal out be the holiday break you deserve: an amazing Miami Christmas Eve or Christmas Day dining experience is just one quick reservation away.

Brickell, baby! This towering neighborhood is Miami’s financial epicenter, which means, yes, there’s a lot of money here. Whether it’s flowing in from international developers, nine-to-five bankers, crypto bros, OnlyFans models or university students with a six-figure allowance, Brickell is flush with cash, making its dining scene more of a spectacle than anywhere else in the city.  RECOMMENDED: The best restaurants in Miami There are brasseries in the sky and cabaret-style supper clubs on the water. Celebrities like Bad Bunny have staked their claim on the scene, alongside Miami nightlife mogul David Grutman. And you can’t walk five feet without hitting a fancy steakhouse, Italian restaurant or Asian-fusion spot. For all its glamour, though, Brickell’s got plenty of substance. You might just need a helping hand to guide you through the labyrinth of skyscrapers and swarms of beautiful people in order to find the best restaurants in Brickell right now. September 2025: Despite the traffic and all the construction, Brickell is still one of the most exciting places to dine out in Miami. Heading into a new season, we’ve overhauled this restaurant guide, cutting the list from 25 to just 10 entries. In the process, we’ve lost a couple of favorites, like La Mar, which shuttered with the rest of the Mandarin Oriental to be demolished and rebuilt. And we’ve added a couple of fresh stars, including our favorite new flirty French girl, Claudie. Bon appétit! How we curate and review at Ti

Like most things in Miami, our Christmas light displays tend to be a bit over-the-top. Ours might not be a snow-capped wonderland, but there’s nothing we can’t illuminate in this town. Tropical jungle? We’ve got every palm tree glittering in LEDs. Christmastime boat parade? Sure! And let's make it yacht rock-themed while we're at it. Because the holidays just hit different in Miami.  From whimsical Christmas events to extravagant Christmas dinners, massive Christmas carnivals and classic neighborhood light spectacles, celebrating the season in Miami can be just as magical as anywhere else—especially when you’re taking in our twinkling scenery by sea. So get that hot cocoa to-go and ride out after the sunset. Here are the best places to see spectacular holiday lights in Miami. RECOMMENDED: Time Out Guide to Christmas in Miami

Miami may be a city of champagne brunches and rooftop cocktails, but most of the time, we locals just want a good meal that won’t require making minimum credit card payments for a year. Thankfully, Miami has plenty of spots where you can feast without semi-seriously contemplating a dine-and-dash when all is said and done.  RECOMMENDED: The best restaurants in Miami From next-level tacos to a Cuban sandwich that’s poetry in pork and even a couple of dishes from Michelin-recognized spots, these cheap eats prove you don’t need a black card to eat well in the 305. So, loosen your belt and tighten your budget. Here are the best cheap eats in Miami that let you keep your cash—and your dignity. All of these items ring in around $10 or less. December 2025: The words “Miami” and “affordable” don’t exactly go hand-in-hand. In fact, this city is consistently ranked among the least affordable in the country. So it’s sad, though not surprising, that we’ve had to remove a few dishes from this guide since our last update. Happily, heroes of the Miami culinary community continue to make food that’s both delicious and affordable, so we’ve slotted in some fresh picks, from a near-perfect smash burger in Edgewater to a bagel sandwich stuffed with roasted jalapeños and a fancy pizza slice that’s massive enough to share. 

December kicks off the most exciting season of the year in Miami. We barely have time to squeeze in a post-Thanksgiving sweat sesh before the Art Basel shenanigans ensue. And after Miami Art Week wraps, all bets are off, because it's holiday mode full force. Yes, we've got tons of holiday events and festive pop-ups in Miami each year, not to mention over-the-top Miami Christmas lights and Christmas dinners, so plan to unbutton your pantalones a notch or two this month. With so much time off built into December, it's also an ideal time to explore epic shows and immersive experiences that'll leave you simply WOW-ed. Right when you think your holiday cheer-o-meter is sputtering dangerously close to zero, it's time to ring in 2026 with a New Year's Eve Party—and who does it better than we do here in the 305? This is all to say, December is literally the best in Miami, so drop this link in the group chat and make plans to have some fun.  RECOMMENDED: Miami events calendar

Back in the mid-aughts, Wynwood Art Walk emerged as a grassroots effort to bring together the local creative community through once-monthly late-night gallery hours and flowing drinks. Though today's Wynwood looks vastly different, the neighborhood still vibrates with creative energy, and the museums and galleries that call it home would very much like to remind you of this fact with the recently relaunched Wynwood Art Walk. Every second Saturday, spend the evening exploring Wynwood's renowned art spaces, immersive installations and live street art, with free and reduced access to many of the area's most sought-after destinations and under-the-radar gems. To kick off the new year, this month's Wynwood Art Walk features a day of wellness-themed activations and programming, from a morning yoga class to a lunchtime DJ set with zero-proof and late-night healthy bites under the stars. View the full schedule and RSVP here.

Our favorite pizza patio in Little River has launched a new Sunday special that pairs perfectly with these crisp January evenings. Bar Bucce's Pasta for the Rastas features $20 plates of Spaghetti all’Assassina (a spicy charred pasta dish that's cooked right in the pan rather than boiled in water) plus live reggae music on the patio. Complete your chilled-out experience with a glass (or bottle) of wine from the Bucce shop, or a cocktail from the bar. The deal runs all month long on Sundays from 6:30 to 9pm.

This internationally recognized orchid show is the largest and most diverse of its kind in the United States. More than 90 national and international orchid growers, plant growers and allied vendors will come together over three days, putting their floral artistry on display via intricate, large-scale dioramas overflowing with exotic and rare species. Browse and buy a variety of beautiful yet affordable orchids and other plants and learn more about the sought-after flower during one of the festival’s many fascinating interactive classes. Handmade crafts and homewares, food and drinks will also be available for purchase at this family-friendly event that's free for kids 12 and under.

In January, we set our intentions for the new year, and there's perhaps no better place to do so than at Ford's Farm. Nestled in Homestead, chef Jeremy Ford's farm grows much of the produce that's plated at his Michelin-awarded Miami Beach restaurant, Stubborn Seed. This month, Ford is throwing open the gates for another rustic-chic supper club series at the farm, and he's tapped a handful of Miami's best chefs to collaborate on the menus. On January 10, the globally influenced, spice-driven dinner comes courtesy of chef Pushkar Marathe of Stage Kitchen & Bar, cooking alongside Jeremy Ford and Joe Mizzoni in the fields of Ford’s Farm. The intimate dinner party takes place inside the property’s stunning, custom-built barn for an open-fire dining experience inspired by the farm’s harvest and the spirit of the hospitality community. January 24's Chef’s Garden Collaboration brings together farmer Lee Jones and chefs Brad Kilgore, Seth Blumenthal and Jamie Simpson for a highly personal meal that celebrates the relationship between chefs and the land. Each evening begins with a complimentary cocktail and canapés served on the farm as the sun sets. The canapé hour runs from 5 to 5:45pm, and guests arriving late will miss part of this experience. The seated dinner follows with multiple courses cooked live over fire at the farm. Each course includes one cocktail pairing and one wine pairing.

Little River's bohemian-styled music venue ZeyZey hosts an epic live tribute to The Smiths and Morrissey on Friday, January 9. Formed in Miami in 2010 by vocalist AJ Navarrete, The Ordinary Boys added to the lineup over the years, but their mission always remained the same: to perfect, note by note, the sound of their Manchester heroes. For their free headlining show outside on the main stage, expect a musical homage featuring all the timeless cult hits, from "This Charming Man" to "How Soon is Now?" Show doors open at 8pm with happy hour specials until 9pm and snacks available from the Tacos Maria stand all night.

The College Football Playoff concludes with an epic championship game at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. The showdown will feature the Fiesta Bowl Champion versus the Peach Bowl Champion and will be streamed live on ESPN, with tailgating kicking off bright and early at 11am.

The Greatest Show on Earth pitches its tent (metaphorically speaking) at the Kaseya Center in Downtown Miami for a weekend-long sprint of death-defying stunts, awe-inspiring athleticism and cheeky circus revelry acted out by some of the world's most accomplished performers. This year's all-new music-driven production includes a seven-member Acro-Salsa Troupe from Colombia, an Acrobatic Bikes and Hoop Diving crew from China and more. Doors open at 6pm each night from January 9 through the 11, with tickets starting around $40.

This 10th-annual music festival sprawls across various venues in South Beach from January 8 to 11, celebrating the rich legacy of jazz while expanding the community’s perspective on individuals with unique abilities. Take in both world-renowned and emerging artists from the entire spectrum of jazz, including several free and outdoor concerts. Miami Beach Bandshell, Faena Theater and Collins Park are just a few of the iconic locales for this year's event, which features the Spanish Harlem Orchestra, John Pizzarelli Presents "Dear Mr. Bennett," Steven Bernstein’s Millennial Territory Orchestra and many more.

Frost Science kicks off another edition of its popular Family Fun Festival, a day of free interactive exhibits, live shows, community partners, vendors, food and educational entertainment on the breezy Knight Plaza. Spark your little one's curiosity with zany performances and engaging musical acts from 11am to 4pm. An RSVP to the party will also get you reduced admission ($20) inside the museum and all its exhibits.

Relive all things Jazz Age at the Miami Design Preservation League’s annual festival, with free events and activities packed into three days, including the artisan and antiques marketplace, a classic car show, lectures, films, guided architectural tours and a variety of musical performances. The theme for this 49th edition is "Celebrating Air, Land and Sea," exploring how Art Deco transformed travel, transportation and modern life.

Poolside, Santigold, Future Islands, Peter Bjorn and John, Joe Jonas, Neil Frances, Major Lazer, The Marías, Sister Sledge, Arc De Soleil. What do all of these artists have in common? They make up a small fraction of the unbelievable roster that has graced the stage at ZeyZey over the last year or so. Created by Grassfed Culture Hospitality—the same group behind Michelin-recognized restaurants Los Félix and Krus Kitchen in Coconut Grove—ZeyZey opened in the summer of 2023 as a pop-up music venue and culinary hub on the edge of Little River. Back then, programming was a Latin-focused mix of Afro-Cuban funk, Brazilian disco, salsa, boogaloo, cumbia and Afrobeat sounds. (The name is derived from Iku, the language spoken by the Arhuacos, an indigenous community of Colombia’s Sierra Nevada.)  Photograph: Courtesy ZeyZeySantigold performs at ZeyZey in Little River, Miami Today, ZeyZey already has its sights set on the next level, from pop-up to grown-up. This means more space, bigger artists (calls had been exchanged with Justice’s team as I arrived for this interview) and a wider scope. With the same unpretentious, community-driven DNA, I am assured. For the uninitiated, entering ZeyZey feels like being let into the eclectic compound of some world-traveling band of musicians, a free-flowing space perpetually spilling over with their fashionable friends and loyal disciples. The open-air stage, shipping container bar, mismatched patio furniture and loft-like indoor disco are all n

Konro is a fine dining restaurant in West Palm Beach serving a wildly creative tasting menu of whatever chef Jacob Bickelhaupt has dreamt up for the night. Nadia Bickelhaupt, Jacob’s business partner and wife, takes the lead as host and also presides over the wine pairings. Though the food at Konro is exceptional—and every bit worth our trek from Miami—the intimate dinner party experience is perhaps more noteworthy, a 10-seat counter that feels both familiar and thrillingly unknown. This is achieved in no small part through Nadia, a bright and bubbly foil to Jacob's more quiet, methodical presence behind her in the kitchen. Though speaking to her from across the counter comes easy, like catching up with a friend over drinks, Nadia is an accomplished sommelier with thousands of hours of education and self-study under her belt. Each of her selections comes with a story, and her approachable delivery makes for genuinely interesting dinner table conversation as the night progresses. The pacing picks up around mid-meal, when it’s almost a one-for-one ratio of drinks per plate. But take your time: You’ll want to have all your faculties to appreciate just how well how each of Nadia’s pairings complements the chef’s whimsical, multi-layered food. After venturing to Konro to try the restaurant for ourselves, we were eager to learn more about the young somm’s journey to Konro and pick her brain on all things wine and hospitality.

After more than a year of delays, the Museum of Sex (MoSex) finally opened in Miami a few months ago, steadily unveiling bold new exhibits while drawing a stream of visitors clearly intrigued by the promise of a space with such a provocative name. Photograph: World Red Eye Not to be confused with the sex-themed museum on South Beach—that would be the World Erotic Art Museum—the Museum of Sex is a New York City import that actually feels like it could have been born right here in Miami. That’s because, as so many kitschy, Old Florida institutions in the city are being razed, glossed over and Tulum-ified, the Museum of Sex is injecting a healthy dose of humor and delightfully raunchy history back into our South Florida environs. I’m talking about glass cases filled with first-generation vibrators and archival news articles espousing the virtues of birth control pills alongside large-scale paintings of robots and humans engaged in highly graphic sex acts. The museum’s titillating temporary collection comprises thousands of works of art, photography, clothing and costumes, technological inventions and all manner of naughty historical ephemera. Photograph: World Red Eye Photograph: World Red Eye At the end of the exhibitions, you’ll watch a short film tracing the little-known history of fairs as old-timey centers of debauchery and escapism, and then you’ll enter Super Funland. It’s a sprawling erotic carnival and bar where visitors can play glory hole whack-a-mole, practice

I’ve stayed at a handful of all-inclusive beach resorts, but none have come close to my experience at the new Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. First of all: St. Vincent is stunning—like a miniature Hawaii lush with tropical forests, misty cliffs and multiple rainbows a day (seriously).  Before this trip, I admit, I couldn’t point out St. Vincent and the Grenadines on a map. (It’s a little chain of volcanic islands just north of Venezuela and south of St. Lucia.) My primary references for Sandals’ resorts were the heart-shaped pools and steamy sunset silhouettes of '90s-era TV commercials. But I’m no stranger to the beauty and laidback charm of the Caribbean. So when I was invited to visit the latest Sandals property and get acquainted with the brand’s luxurious new direction, of course, I said yes. Photograph: Courtesy Sandals Saint Vincent During my stay, I quickly learned about Sandals’ legacy as a family-owned resort group, founded by Jamaican-born entrepreneur Gordon "Butch" Stewart in 1981 and helmed by his son, Adam Stewart, since 2021. Even though the young Stewart has been working on modernizing his late father’s vision, it was clear that he and the company remain committed to the same hospitality, warmth and fun spirit of the originals. It also didn’t take long to discover that Sandals guests tend to be deeply loyal to the brand. Many of my poolside conversations centered around couples’ previous trips to other Sandals and Beaches properties. (Beaches is t

Here at Time Out, our mission is to bring you the very best of Miami, and that very importantly includes Miami's best restaurants. Of course, on that mission, we editors find ourselves dining out quite a lot. Whether we're trying out the latest buzzy concept from one of the city's homegrown star chefs, hunting down the most delicious new smash burger in a tidal wave of Miami smash burgers or suiting up to make it past the velvet rope at South Beach's hottest new clubstaurant, it's all in day's work to present you with our findings. Though we don't give full, rated reviews to every Miami restaurant, bar or venue we visit, we take a lot of time and care with the ones we do. These writeups represent our honest impressions of the place, regardless of whether we were invited to experience it as a media guest or if we paid our own way.

In case you need something else to be excited about heading into the last full week of 2024, two new highly anticipated Miami restaurants are slated to open their doors to the public for the first time this weekend. A third, from one of Miami's most lauded homegrown chefs, opened last weekend. As we know, 'tis the season to get your reservations in early, since the snowbirds will soon be flocking ashore, snapping up seats at all of Miami's most coveted restaurants. Let's break down three new Miami restaurants that are destined to become hotspots this winter. RECOMMENDED: Best of the City: The 14 best things Time Out Miami editors saw, ate and visited in 2024 Photograph: Courtesy Carbone VinoSpicy Rigatoni Vodka 1. Carbone Vino 2911 Grand Ave, Suite 194 Opening today, Major Food Group unveils Carbone Vino in Coconut Grove. The newest addition to MFG's ever-growing Miami portfolio follows a similar format as their other spots, including signature dishes like Caesar Salad alla ZZ, Spicy Rigatoni alla Vodka and Veal Parmesan, plus new items created by chef Mario Carbone, like a Shrimp Toast with bruschetta featuring ruby red shrimp, Calabrian chili and sesame. As the name hints, Vino also offers a dynamic beverage program featuring an extensive rotating selection of fine and rare by-the-glass offerings. With a design modeled off the original in New York’s Greenwich Village with art curated by gallerist Vito Schnabel, the restaurant's vibe is moody and romantic with a main dinin

Palm Beach just got a culinary upgrade with the opening of Malka, a kosher concept from famed Israeli chef Eyal Shani. When the beloved Tel Avivian restaurant opened its first NYC outpost last year, "Both the kosher and non-kosher masses flocked to the destination to indulge in the restaurant's legendary Malka schnitzel stuffed with mashed potatoes," Time Out New York's Anna Rahmanan wrote. Photograph: Courtesy Malka West Palm BeachThe most famous schnitzel Now, South Floridians (some might call us residents of the sixth borough) can try out the schnitzel for themselves, along with a mix of Malka classics and several new dishes original to the West Palm Beach location. Though this isn't the chef's first venture in South Florida (Shani is also behind the flashy HaSalon in South Beach), Malka West Palm Beach marks the concept's first U.S. outpost outside of NYC and the third outside of Tel Aviv. What sets apart Malka West Palm Beach is the history of the space it occupies—formerly (and ironically) a butcher shop and factory. Located at 209 6th Street in an up-and-coming swath of West Palm Beach waterfront, the restaurant already housed an open-fire wood-burning kitchen as its central focal point when Shani moved in. It's served as the inspiration behind much of Malka's menu.

Locals' hearts collectively broke when it was announced in July that Shuckers would close after more than 30 years in business. The North Bay Village go-to for casual waterfront dining was nestled at the base of a boutique Best Western hotel that had been charmingly spared from decades of Miami redevelopment waves, until now.  In perhaps one of the fastest renovations and rebrandings ever—even for Miami—Palm Tree Club is set to officially open to the public on December 21 at the former Shuckers and Best Western site. The lifestyle hospitality concept comes courtesy of DJ Kygo and Myles Shear’s Palm Tree Crew, in collaboration with Think Hospitality and New York and Miami-based Continuum Continuum. Photograph: Courtesy Palm Tree CrewPalm Tree Club “We’re thrilled to launch Palm Tree Club and introduce our hospitality offering to Miami,” Shear said in a statement. “This is a new chapter for our brand, and it’s all about blending the energy of live events with the laid-back spirit of this historic waterfront retreat.” Photograph: Courtesy Palm Tree Crew Interestingly, the 1970s-era property doesn’t look all that different than it did a couple of months ago when Shuckers closed its proverbial doors for the last time. This 115-room hotel and restaurant has been given a rapid refresh with tropical-inspired decor throughout, Art Deco-inspired room interiors, a 24-hour fitness center and an updated pool deck with complimentary chaise loungers, green striped umbrellas and automate

Christmas is around the corner and it's time to plan what you'll do (and wear) over the big holiday in Miami. Have you peeped the weather forecast lately? We've been watching the updates to help you make the most of this Christmas. Though we've had a week of warmer temps, higher humidity and scattered showers, things should clear up and cool down over the weekend, with predicted lows in the 50s. By mid-week, it looks like we’re in for a beautiful and mild Christmas Day, with Accuweather describing the outlook on December 25, 2024 as “sunshine and a few clouds.” What will Miami's Christmas Day weather be like?  The topline forecast for the big day is dominated by one word: lovely. According to Accuweather, temperatures in Miami on Christmas Day are expected to sit at around 70°F, with a high temperature of 75°F and a low of 68°F.

We know our way around a piece of meat here at Time Out. So much so that we’ve just dropped our brand new list of the very best steaks in the world. Our writers and editors from across the globe have added to our top 10 of the mightiest meats, with a Miami steakhouse securing the No. 2 spot in the ranking.  Among the barrage of buzzy Miami restaurant openings over the last few years, Klaw in Edgewater stands out as a spot that not only passes the vibe check but also actually has the high-caliber menu to match. Klaw is a luxurious steakhouse perched at the top of a beautifully restored historic building with truly stunning views of Biscayne Bay, especially at sunset. And the prices reflect that. But on the extensive steak and seafood menu you can also find more approachable options, including one we've singled out as our favorite steak in Miami. Klaw has partnered with local ranchers to serve Florida Cracker Cattle, one of the oldest and rarest breeds in the U.S. (It’s claimed that one of their partners can trace the DNA of their cattle back to the original herd brought to Florida in 1521). Priced at $85, we went for the 16 oz. Florida Cracker striploin, cooked medium-rare. It was juicy and tender, and though it came with a side of two delicious sauces, we found its wood-fired flavor shines best on its own. Plus, Florida Cracker meat is high in Omega-3 fatty acids since the cattle graze on grass instead of corn. The list was topped by El Toro in Agadir, Morocco at number one

Waymo has just announced that it will expand its autonomous driving technology to Miami, joining Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Austin, where the robotaxis have already taken over the streets (kidding!). Beginning in early 2025, Waymo’s all-electric Jaguar I-PACEs will be redeployed around Miami, building on previous road trips throughout Florida that were carried out during the rainy season to enhance driving capabilities. They aim to begin accepting rides in 2026, offering a driverless ride-hailing service via the Waymo One app.  Waymo (owned by Google's parent company Alphabet) has partnered with Moove, a global leader in innovative mobility solutions, to manage its fleet operations, facilities and charging infrastructure. "Ride-hailing has transformed urban mobility over the past 15 years, yet the core experience has largely remained unchanged,” says Ladi Delano, co-founder and co-CEO at Moove. "Together, we’re driving a major shift." So, how do Waymo's robotaxis work? Last year, we got to go for a ride in a Waymo car during the launch of the Waymo One Tour program in Santa Monica and Venice—and we’ve been (mostly) impressed ever since. “Riding in a self-driving car for the first time is anxiety-inducing, exciting and oddly normal—basically in that order," wrote our Los Angeles and Western USA editor Michael Juliano at the time. “Even if you routinely drive a car outfitted with advanced assistance features, it can’t prepare you for the radically different sensati

It's a dining guide that's as exclusive as it sounds: La Liste bills itself as "the most selective global guide of restaurants, pastry shops and hotels, for gourmets and international travelers," and it's just released its annual ranking of the best eateries in the world. The 2025 list is based on a "compilation of thousands of publications, hundreds of guidebooks and millions of online reviews." And four Miami spots have made the cut. We can't say we're surprised! Before we dive into the rankings, here's a bit on La Liste's methodology: According to the website, the staff aggregates reviews from over 1,000 guidebooks and publications, enters them into a database and then assigns each entry a score from 0 to 100 based on standard grades. But it goes even deeper: Chefs around the globe are asked to weigh in on the various guidebooks so that the outlets themselves can be given a "trustworthiness index" score that impacts the standard grade given to the restaurants. Finally, customer reviews are given consideration before each entry receives its official "La Liste score." This year, the top Miami restaurant with an 86.50 La Liste score is Naoe, a five-seat omakase counter on Brickell Key helmed by Kevin Cory, a chef with Japanese roots who studied under masters from Kyoto and Toyama before pioneering the now ubiquitous omakase restaurant experience in Miami. Interestingly, Naoe has yet to receive recognition from the Michelin Miami guide, though it's on our own list of Miami's b
