Must-Visit Restaurants in Downtown Miami

Must-Visit Restaurants in Downtown Miami

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.

Wings Seafood

Perfect For: Lunch, Dinner

Tam Tam’s wings are messy, crunchy, covered in fish sauce caramel, and are our absolute favorite wings in Miami. Each wing is so crispy it’s hard to tell if you’re holding a flat or a drum.

Perfect For: Brunch, Lunch, Dinner

Hutong is an impressive spot at first glance. The Brickell Chinese restaurant has ceilings high enough for Alex Honnold to free-solo and an interesting video wall, which makes it look like the restaurant is constantly changing shape.

Kon Chau is a great Chinese restaurant just off Bird Road, right near Tropical Park. They have chow mein, chop suey, and also serve dim sum all day, with a handful of classic and tasty dumpling options like plump shrimp and pork shumai and green tea mushroom dumplings.
