Restaurants in South Miami

“Recoveco is by far my favorite restaurant in Miami. I am shocked they don’t already have a Michelin star, because it is at the level. They have a seasonal menu which I love because it changes often, stays fresh, and everything they come up with is spectacular. From the first plates (papaya salad for the win), main dishes, THE DESSERTS, the service, this place is always on point. The last time we dined there our server, Michelle, was an absolute angel. So knowledgeable, kind, welcoming, she really made the experience that much better. Recoveco is our date night spot for life!!”

“Cafe Pastis has quickly become one of my favorite South Florida restaurants! Their lovely food is delicious, and very consistent! I love all of their seafood dishes! Their mussels, and frites are a must! In addition their staff is super polite, and provide amazing service! Who could ask for more! They also have a great location in South Miami with plenty of parking! Enjoy everyone! #cestmagnifique”

“Special👏👏👏!!! brunch Thanks”

“We came with my wonderful handsome husband Jim we had the sushi river experience and loved it. Our server was Eliana and our bartender was Emmanuel Thanks for taking care of us.”

“The quality of food is high, for that I recommend it. The reason I wouldn’t go back is that the staff just did not care we were there at all. Still waiting for them to ask how everything is… we came through last year and had a totally different experience staff was super friendly and engaged even though the place was packed. We caught them at turnover and they couldn’t care less. We talked about hitting craft as a high point for our one night in Miami before cruising… and now we won’t bother going back to Bayside.”

“Great bands and cool vibe!”

“The mussels were terrific, cocktails were great but the service by Carlos was wonderful!”

“Excellent. Fully recommended. Everything we ordered was fantastic, different, tasty. You must try!”

“From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and attentive service that made us feel genuinely valued. The restaurant had a beautiful atmosphere—elegant yet comfortable—with tasteful décor. The food was exceptional. Every dish was beautifully presented, fresh, and full of flavor. The ingredients tasted high quality, and each bite reflected the care and skill of the chefs. The menu offered a great variety, making it easy for everyone to find something they would enjoy.”

“Wow just wow! I had the distinct pleasure of being able to try quite a few of the dishes from both the small and large plates. Everything we tried was superb. Very interesting combinations that I’ve never seen before. I would definitely recommend.”

“Absolutely outstanding food and service! Had never been before, but was completely impressed with the menu options, the food preparation, and the friendly service. Wish there was one of these in my location in Missouri will definitely seek them out when I go to other places!”

“Great ambience and a cute aesthetic. Maman feels like it doesn't belong in Miami, and I mean that as the highest compliment for its decor, customer service, and quality of food for the price.”

“Salvador assisted my husband and I with numerous taste tests of so many of their fabulous options! So delicious… the Dubai, pistachio, coffee and Mint chocolate chip were all delicious! In the end I went with mint chocolate chip and my husband went with the lemon both awesome choices! Thanks Salvador!”

“Listen I’ve been coming here for the past 6 months and no other coffee shop has seen me lol The staff treat me like family and they’re so sweet and supportive of what I do! The immediate service and tasty drinks always brings me back. It’s hard to find a great place with great people / service so when you do treat them right. I absolutely LOVE this shop and will recommend this to everyone!”

“Different from the location next to fiu aesthetic wise, the one by fiu is anime themed and this one is very fancy, calming, Chinese mountain vibes. I like the calming music they have, the gyoza is absolutely to die for, and the service is very friendly”

“Noe Sushi is a great place to stop and see the World Cup games! They have a few big screens and (see photos) special World Cup rolls! Service was great, sushi was delish and try the passion fruit saki, you won’t regret it!”

“After being recommended this place from a friend, we were hoping it would be the goto location in Miami Lakes, although pricey. Unfortunately, the meat was raw and the onions were rotten. Will not return.”

“Love this place!! I have been coming with my daughter for years. We love everything on the menu. Authentic French bistro. Stefan and Valerie are lovely!! Valerie makes everything from scratch. Every time is a delicious experience. Come hungry and bring friends!! Somé of our favorites: French onion soup, Crepe Suzette, Crepe Rumba, portobello quiche, Crepe Forrestier. Nobody makes crepes like La Crepe!! It's a gem in South Miami. We highly recommend it.”

“We love this love place in SOMI. 🙌🙌”

“Been here multiple times and never had any problem but the customer service today by one of the employees was very upsetting. From the moment I told her what I desired to the end of me paying. Very rude and arrogant as if I was begging her for my food.”

“Best sushi in town. Everything is so fresh. Definitely a place to check out.”

“We are SOMI residents and support our local establishments. We order all of the time. Delicious ice cream. Our dog Daisy loves your vanilla ice cream 🐶🦴”

“Not the cutest Rice branch but maybe the tastiest! Much better food and service than the Gables Rice by a long shot. I drive here for takeout all the time even though Gables is closer! Awesome food and friendly service. Yum.”
