Miami Spice 2025: Dine at Michelin-starred restaurants for $35
Frugal foodies, rejoice. Miami Spice returns next week. Why it matters: The summer restaurant discount program gives diners a chance to eat Michelin-starred meals at budget-friendly prices — while supporting local restaurants during their off-season. 🤑 How it works: Running from Aug. 1-Sept. 30, Miami Spice Restaurant Months features over 300 local restaurants. Order prix fixe, three-course meals for $35 each for lunch or brunch and $45-$60 each for dinner. (Drinks, taxes and gratuity not included.) Each menu comes with an appetizer, entree and dessert. Just remember to ask your waiter for the Miami Spice menu specifically. To qualify, restaurants must offer 30% savings off their regular menu, per the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, which organizes the annual program. ⭐️ Notable restaurants participating: The list includes Michelin-starred restaurants Cote Miami, Le Jardinier Miami and Stubborn Seed. Cote, the acclaimed Korean steakhouse in the Design District, is offering a $35 lunch Monday-Friday. Le Jardinier, also in the Design District, is offering $35 lunch and $60 dinner Tuesday-Sunday. Stubborn Seed, located in South of Fifth, is serving $60 dinner Monday-Thursday and Sunday. Nobu Miami, the high-end sushi restaurant in Miami Beach, is offering a $60 dinner Monday-Thursday and Sunday. Joe's Stone Crab Restaurant in South of Fifth is offering $35 lunch and $60 dinner on varying days. The intrigue: Some of the most audacious restaurants in Miami are lowering their prices for Miami Spice, including Papi Steak, (in)famous for serving a $1,000 steak in a gold briefcase. $60 will get you a 6-oz filet mignon (probably just on a regular plate). ❤️ More restaurants we love: 😋 Restaurants we want to try:

Want to save money on dining out? Get ready for Miami Spice deals
In a year during which every diner seems to be searching for a bargain, Miami Spice 2025 is almost here. The annual promotion by the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau starts Aug. 1 and runs through the end of September, with more than 300 restaurants around Miami-Dade County offering fixed price, three course brunch, lunch and dinner menus. Brunch and lunch cost $35, while dinners are $45 or $60, depending on where you go. And where you go, as always, ranges across an array of cuisine and different price points, from local favorites like MiMo's Blue Collar; Chef Raheem Seeley's Asian smokehouse Shiso; or Kendall's barbecue haven Smoke & Dough to upscale imports like Philadelphia chef Michael Solomonov's Aviv; Sparrow Italia from London; and Japanese hotspot Uchi from Texas. Michelin-starred restaurants are participating, too. Cote Korean steakhouse in the Design District does a robust business each year with its fixed price lunch, while Stubborn Seed in Miami Beach and Le Jardinier in the Design District are also offering dinner specials. Even the brand-new Daniel's steakhouse, which opens Wednesday in the former space of Fiola, is ready to offer brunch, lunch and dinner menus. The high participation arrives at a time when many local restaurants are struggling through a tough summer. Promotions like Miami Spice and Taste the Gables, which runs through the end of July, are a way to lure customers during what is becoming an ever-longer low season. Chef Niven Patel, whose restaurants Erba, Paya and Ghee Indian Kitchen are all participating in Miami Spice, said the promotion is a good way for customers to discover new favorites. 'It brings more diners into our dining room, which is great,' he told the Miami Herald. 'It helps get new customers into our door. It brings a wider audience for sure, and we hope they fall in love with us.' Some restaurants will be offering special 'signature' dining experiences beyond the fixed price menus, like Faena Miami Beach, which is offering the Faena Theater Experience, a three-course meal and a third-row orchestra ticket to a performance for $150. L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon, Miami's only two-star Michelin restaurant, is offering a five-course dining experience of starting with foie gras royale and parmesan foam and including kampachi crudo and lobster vinaigrette; a summer squash mille feuille; heritage chicken stuffed with black truffle; and strawberry key lime cremeux for dessert. The dinner is $135. For a full list of Miami Spice participants, visit

Miami Spice 2025: Where To Eat From August To September
Chef Michael Solomonov's Aviv at 1 Hotel South Beach will be participating for the first time this year, and their signature hummus and salatim will be part of their Miami Spice dinner menu Aviv/ Michael Persico For the past 24 years, summer in Miami has been synonymous to Miami Spice— the two-month-long restaurant promotion, organized by the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB). From August 1 through September 30, over 230 participating restaurants will offer prix fixe, three-course Miami Spice menus at $35 for lunch and brunch; and $45 or $60 for dinner— or Signature Dining Experiences, those that go beyond the traditional prix fixe menus, like a theater dinner experience, chef's counter omakase or a family-style meal at a private wine cellar. Some of this year's most exciting new participants include Aviv, the Israeli restaurant by multi–James Beard Award–winning chef Michael Solomonov at 1 Hotel South Beach; Mimi Chinese, the Toronto-based restaurant known for its regional Chinese cuisine led by executive chef Braden Chong; Uchi in Wynwood and Uchiko in Miami Beach, the modern Japanese concepts from James Beard Award–winning chef Tyson Cole; and homegrown concepts like Shiso, an Asia and Caribbean-inspired smokehouse by chef partner Raheem Sealey, and the Miami location of Daniel's, the Michelin-recognized Florida steakhouse in Fort Lauderdale by Gioia Hospitality and culinary director Danny Ganem— officially opening its doors on July 23. 'Miami Spice is a fundamentally Miami way to connect both locals and visitors to this city's great restaurants,' says Solomonov. '[W]e're excited to be part of a city-wide celebration of food.' For Aviv's Miami Spice menu, guests can expect the restaurant's most-loved dishes that also define their culinary style: the signature hummus and salatim with housemade saluf bread; mezze like halloumi baklava and warm stuffed dates; and al ha'esh dishes like Bulgarian kebab and mushroom shashlik. 'Big flavors rooted in beautiful traditions we've developed with care,' Solomonov adds. A refreshed, bolder menu will debut in September. At Mimi Chinese on Miami Beach, the first US location of the Toronto outpost, executive chef Braden Chong recommends his personal favorite, stir-fried rice noodle rolls, available on their Miami Spice menu Daniel Neuhaus/ Mimi Chinese 'As a newcomer to the city, Mimi Chinese Miami is excited to participate in Miami Spice as a way for us to continue our mission of showing off the diversity of regional Chinese cuisine,' says Chong. They will be highlighting their popular shrimp toast with hot mustard mayo, General Tso chicken and Chong's personal favorite, the stir-fried rice noodle rolls. 'This is a nostalgic dish that I order anytime I see them on a menu. [It has a] unique flavor that is only achieved by cooking food at high heat in a Chinese wok.' Chong also hopes that they can 'can encourage guests to experience shared, family-style dining, which is so important to Chinese culture and cuisine, and our concept in Toronto.' Shiso Miami's popular uni rice—heralding to executive chef Raheem Sealey's memories of growing up "eating a lot of rice in St. Croix" and his love for seafood—is available on their Miami Spice menu for a supplement of $25 Shiso Miami 'Shiso is still a new restaurant, so Miami Spice is a great way to introduce more people to our food and cocktail program,' Sealey shares, on their Asian and Carribean-inspired smokehouse, which opened its doors in Wynwood just last March. 'Guests can look forward to big flavors and bold combinations, like our bluefin tuna topped with smoked pepper relish, and our signature oxtail udon noodles.' Their popular uni rice— an indulgence of king crab, uni butter and ikura— can be enjoyed with a supplement of $25. Uchiko Miami Beach's spicy crunchy tuna will be part of their Miami Spice menu. Sister restaurant Uchi in Wynwood will also be participating for the first time this year. Uchiko Miami Beach 'We believe that food should be an experience that sparks curiosity, and Miami Spice is the perfect opportunity to invite more of the local community into that conversation,' says Cole. At Uchi in Wynwood, guests can expect a thoughtful seven-course experience that include tomato sunomono and suzuki crudo; sake maki and four pieces of nigiri; and a bavette steak— light, clean flavors that progress towards umami. At Uchiko in Miami Beach's Sunset Harbour neighborhood, 'we took a slightly different approach with bolder, smokier flavors that match the character of the concept. The crunchy tuna is always a hit, and the ume cheesecake, a well-balanced tart and sweet combination, has quietly become a favorite among the team.' Wagyu and pearls at Daniel's will be available at their new Miami location in Coral Gables, and also on their Miami Spice menu— as well on their five-course Wagyu Tasting Experience as part of this year's Signature Dining Experience Daniel's/ Louis Collection Officially opening its doors on July 23, Daniel's Miami— the sister restaurant of the Michelin-recognized restaurant of the same name in Fort Lauderdale— will be jumping right into Miami Spice. 'We are really excited about the refurbishments to the space in Coral Gables,' shares Thomas Angelo, founder of Gioia Hospitality Group. (The restaurant is located at the former Fiola Miami.) 'While we have not moved a single wall or changed the iconic wine room, we have completely changed the color palette of the restaurant to our signature Daniel's green. We have also added some beautiful Murano glass chandeliers in the middle of the dining room that were recently made in Venice and have changed out all the artwork, adding signature original black and white pieces by David Yarrow including his renowned work, The Bison on Main.' Guests who have visited the previous iteration will be happy to know that some of their signature dishes like the baby romaine basil Caesar salad and mezze rigate vodka pasta will remain on the Daniel's Miami menu— and will be available during the Miami Spice period. In addition, Angelo shares that they are 'excited to bring to Miami some of the dishes that helped us achieve Michelin Guide recognition within our first six months of operation.' These include the wagyu and pearls, made with Arrowhead wagyu from Florida and Kaluga caviar; and Florida oysters Rockefeller, utilizing Serenoa Skipper Sweet oysters from the Panhandle; foie gras crème brûlée their steak program— all also available during the Miami Spice period. This year they are also participating in the Signature Dining Experiences— which go beyond the traditional pre fixe menus offered during the Miami Spice Restaurant Months— with a five-course Wagyu Tasting Experience. Faena Miami Beach will be offering a theater dining experience, which includes a third-row orchestra ticket and a three-course dinner; Michelin-recognized The Den at Azabu will be offering an $80 chef's counter omakase; and Uruguay restaurant Narbona in Coconut Grove is offering a family-style meal at their private wine cellar, to name a few.

Miami Beach is graciously making it cheaper to park this summer
In a rare act of municipal kindness, Miami Beach is dramatically slashing parking prices this summer. From July 1 through Aug. 31, the city is offering $1-per-hour parking at all municipal parking zones citywide, including lots, garages and metered street parking, as long as they're operated by the City of Miami Beach. It's an effort to drive both cars and customers toward local businesses during what's typically a sweltering, sluggish season for tourism. The offer, available only through the ParkMobile app, allows drivers to park for up to three hours at the discounted rate per session. Each user can claim up to 15 discounted sessions, adding up to 45 hours of cheaper parking over the two-month period. The program auto-locks the discount by zone once the code is entered, so repeat parkers don't have to jump through digital hoops each time. 'Summer is here and we welcome everyone to enjoy Miami Beach with our lowest parking rates ever,' said Commissioner Alex Fernandez in a release announcing the initiative. 'With $1 hourly parking and incredible seasonal offerings like Miami Spa Month and Miami Spice, this is the perfect time to explore, unwind and savor all that Miami Beach has to offer.' Beyond the convenience for drivers, the city is hoping the program will give local restaurants, spas, boutiques and small businesses a much-needed seasonal boost. Visitors coming for prix fixe menus or discounted spa treatments may be more inclined to stay longer, shop more and explore beyond the usual hotspots when they're not feeding an aggressive meter. There's a bit of fine print, of course: Each individual parking session is capped at three hours, though back-to-back sessions are allowed until the 15-session limit is reached. The discount is valid only through ParkMobile—not at pay stations or kiosks—and will only apply to municipal-run zones, not private lots.

Coral Gables restaurants are luring diners with deals during the slow summer days
Where do you eat when you want a bargain but it's not yet time for Miami Spice? You go to Coral Gables and take part in Taste the Gables Restaurant Month. Throughout the month of July, more than 70 restaurants in the Gables will offer specially priced lunch and dinner menus as well as other promotional deals. The list of participants includes culinary favorites like Niven Patel's Italian restaurant Erba, which was hailed by Esquire magazine as one of the best new restaurants of 2023; Thomas Keller's French Bouchon Bistro; the Michelin-recognized Asian spot Kojin; and the Michelin-starred omakase counter Shingo. You'll also find a couple of Michelin Bib Gourmands on the list, too, like Zitz Sum and Bachour. A Bib Gourmand designates a restaurant with good food that's affordable. Lunch menus starting at $30, while dinners run from $45-$60 for three courses. Belkys Perez, economic development director for the city, said that the program aims to highlight the culinary talent in the area as well as help out restaurants that usually see business drop off during the long, hot Miami summer. 'Taste the Gables gives residents and visitors alike a reason to explore our restaurants, try new flavors and support local businesses during a traditionally slower time of year,' she said. The promotion is also way for restaurants to encourage locals to to try their cuisine. 'We are proud and excited to be part of Taste the Gables and share our Journey of the Hispanic flavors with our community,' said Juan Diego Canahuati, who owns the Latin restaurant Arcano with his wife Nicole. 'There's no better place than this event, where we are celebrating local flavors and culinary artistry, to showcase and give a taste of our passion for pan-Hispanic soul food.'
