Miami’s food scene is as bold and sun-soaked as the city itself. From Cuban breakfasts in Little Havana to craft beer in Wynwood and rooftop sushi in South Beach, this one-day Miami foodie itinerary takes you on a flavour-packed journey through the city’s most delicious neighbourhoods. Bring your appetite and maybe some stretchy trousers.
Rise and shine and make your way to Miami’s Little Havana neighbourhood, where Cuban breakfast is the order of the day. Just what’s in a traditional Cuban breakfast, you might ask? At Versailles – a landmark restaurant on Calle Ocho that’s been serving locals and tourists since 1971 – breakfast includes cafe con leche and tostada, plus guava pastries, empanadas, or croquetas, depending on what you’re craving. Or, for the more adventurous: a Cuban sandwich.
What’s the best way to walk off that breakfast of champions? A visit to the stylish Wynwood District, which is famous for its al fresco murals…and its thriving craft beer scene. If you start to feel peckish after a few servings of suds, then wind down the crawl at Thank You Miami Cocina and Beerhouse where monster burgers and sandwiches are served with 40 kinds of craft beer.

Craft beer isn’t the only libation that Miami handles with aplomb – this city is also ground zero for cocktail lovers (and we don’t mean flaming shooters or fruit juice-filled novelty drinks). Venture to the stylish, James Beard Award-nominated Broken Shaker, located in the Freehand Miami. Its palm-fringed terrace is the perfect place for a well-crafted aperitif, like the Sake Spritzer: a heat-beating mix of sake, honeydew, and pineapple liqueur.
After your pre-prandial tipple, it’s on to Watr, which combines the see-and-be-seen South Beach scene – it’s located on the roof of the stylish 1 Hotel – with killer eats. Sushi and poke are Watr’s specialty, and you can bet, given the Atlantic proximity, that your hamachi will be as fresh as it gets.
