These are our favorite places to eat in Downtown.
No neighborhood captures Miami’s extreme contrasts quite like Downtown. In just a 10-minute walk, you’ll pass abandoned storefronts that seem straight out of a post-apocalyptic movie, only to find yourself next to swanky luxury apartments that even your favorite celebrity couldn’t afford—all while weaving through club kids stumbling out of Space at 9am, on the hunt for breakfast. The restaurants here reflect that same diversity, from upscale dining rooms where someone might casually mention, “I had caviar last night,” to no-frills, cash-only cafeterias with struggling AC. This guide covers the full range, featuring some of the absolute best dining spots in Miami.
