Miami Spice is half over, which means we only have until September 30 to take advantage of its glorious three-course lunch, brunch, and dinner menus. (Sad!) But before Miami’s most delicious time of year passes us by, some of the Magic City’s hottest restaurants are spicing up the season with tasty new twists. See what’s in store, below. Ready, set… eat!
What’s New at the Fontainebleau
When it comes to anything food, drink, and fun, Fontainebleau Miami Beach {4441 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 1.800.548.8886} is the place to be. This year, four of its restaurants—La Côte, Hakkasan, Scarpetta by Scott Conant, and StripSteak by Michael Mina—have been participating in Miami Spice, offering lunch, dinner, or both seven days a week. This September, the Fontainebleau is going out with a bang! To give regular diners something to look forward to, both Hakkasan and StripSteak will add new dishes to their Spice menus: like Scottish Salmon, Wood-Grilled Filet Mignon and Carnaroli Risotto at StripSteak, and family-style Spicy Mayo Spiny Lobster with Seasonal Fruit, Stir-fry Beef with Edamame in Black Pepper Sauce, Sautéed Pak Choi in Garlic Sauce, and Squid and Carrot Dumpling at Hakkasan.
Miami Restaurants “Spice Up” the Second Half of Miami Spice
Getting a little bored with your Miami Spice menu? (Uhhh… try a new restaurant. There are literally 250+ to choose from.) Either way, some of the Magic City’s hottest restaurants will keep things interesting with completely new menus. Visit Atlantikós, BLT Prime, BLT Steak, Bulla Gastrobar, Candela Gastrobar, EDGE Steak & Bar, Fooq’s, Komodo, Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann, Lure Fishbar, Matador Room, Meat Market Miami Beach, Mignonette Uptown, Monty’s Coconut Grove, Novecento, Ortanique on the Mile, Pao by Paul Qui, Pisco y Nazca Ceviche Gastrobar, Son Cubano, The Forge, TUYO, and Toro Toro to see what we mean.
The Blue Collar Deal: Get Anything You Want
And while we don’t like to play favorites, MiMo’s diner gem, Blue Collar, is making sure its last month of Spice sizzles by making its whole menu available for Spice-goers! From now through the end of September, diners can go for lunch or dinner and choose any made-from-scratch appetizer, entrée, or dessert from the regular menu to make up their own three-course feast. Don’t know what to order? Start with “noshes” and appetizers, and move on to entrées, a daily rotation of braised dishes, Parmesans, ribs, and even vegetable specialties. The Pork & Beans, Shrimp & Grits, and celebrity namesake The Corben sandwich are crowd favorites, and for dessert, so is the cayenne-topped Butterscotch Heath Bar Bread Pudding.
Miami Spice lunch and brunch menus are priced at $23 per person, and dinner menus are priced at $39 per person.
