We just LOVE the Miami Beach EDITION {2901 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 786.257.4500}. On any given day of the week, this five-star beachfront hotel (a project by none other than famed hotelier Ian Schrager) is bustling with beautiful people lounging by the pool or sipping cocktails at the secluded outdoor Tropicale bar. But we must say that one of the main draws to this swanky hotel is its restaurants, Market at EDITION and Matador Room, both under the watchful eye of chef extraordinaire Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
Market at EDITION, the more casual of the two (with equally impressive and quality fare), is a take on a gourmet marketplace, where you can just as easily order something grab-and-go as you can sit down for a leisurely three-course meal. The chic open space is essentially a series of food stations, which includes a raw bar, a charcuterie station, a sushi bar, and a gourmet pastry station featuring freshly baked cakes of all flavors.
Be sure to start off with a cheese and charcuterie spread, where you can mix and match selections of specialty cheeses such as Burrata and Manchego, meats such as Spicy Coppa and Chorizo, and fish like Pickled Herring and Smoked Sturgeon.
Other menu highlights include the Hamachi Crudo with crushed olives, lemon, and dill; the flavorful Mushroom Garlic-Parsley Oil Organic Farm Egg Pizza; the Florida Snapper with bok choy and ginger dressing; and the fan-favorite Cheeseburger with Russian dressing and yuzu pickles.
And the best news: Every Monday, guests enjoy 20=percent off dinner tabs from 6-11pm—a Miami Beach steal that pretty much can’t be beat.
Oh, and don’t miss out on Market’s Miami Spice menu, which is available for lunch and dinner daily through the end of September.
