Organized by the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB), this two-month event showcases Miami’s vibrant culinary scene, blending global flavors with local flair.

Why Miami Spice 2025 Stands Out

‍

Miami’s culinary diversity shines during Miami Spice, with restaurants spanning over 20 neighborhoods and featuring cuisines from Latin American to Asian fusion, French Mediterranean to classic American. This year, the event emphasizes sustainability through partnerships with organizations like Compost for Life and Food Rescue US - South Florida, encouraging eco-conscious dining. Plus, diners can support Camillus House, a nonprofit aiding those experiencing homelessness, with optional donations matched by the GMCVB up to $25,000.

For seafood lovers, the addition of the South Beach Seafood Festival dining scene brings fresh catches to the forefront. Iconic spots like Joe’s Stone Crab serve their legendary stone crab claws, while Stiltsville Fish Bar offers grilled octopus and lobster rolls with Biscayne Bay views.

Must-Try Restaurants and Menus

‍

Here’s a curated list of standout restaurants and their Miami Spice offerings for 2025:

• LPM Restaurant & Bar (Brickell): Savor French Mediterranean dishes like marinated lamb cutlets or warm prawns in olive oil. The $60 dinner menu is a steal, with appetizers like sweet corn salad and desserts like vanilla cheesecake.
• Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann (Miami Beach): This Faena Hotel gem delivers smoky South American flavors. Try the flame-seared ribeye or provoleta cheese with chimichurri for $60 at dinner or $35 at lunch.
• Uchi (Wynwood): A Miami Spice debut with a seven-course dinner for $60, featuring yellowtail in ponzu and caramel namesake dessert. Optional $40 wine pairing elevates the experience.
• Stubborn Seed (Miami Beach): This Michelin-starred spot offers bold, sustainable dishes. Expect seasonal small plates and elevated meats for $60, though it’s unavailable on Fridays and Saturdays.
• R House Wynwood: A vibrant Latin-Asian fusion experience with a $35 brunch (including a welcome cocktail) or a $60 dinner with bottomless cocktails—a Miami Spice first.
• Shiso (Wynwood): Chef Raheem Sealey’s Asian Smokehouse menu includes bluefin tuna starters and Chilean seabass mains for $60. Add uni rice for a $25 supplement.
