On Saturday, April 13, New Times’ Out to Brunch will turn the Design District’s Jungle Plaza into the ultimate weekend food event.

This month marks the 18th-annual South Beach Wine & Food Festival. From February 20 through 24, Miami will turn into a culinary mecca replete with the greatest food celebrities and hordes of adoring fans. As the festival’s name suggests, the event was based in South Beach — until it expanded…

James Beard Award-winning French chef and restaurateur Daniel Boulud’s downtown Miami restaurant, Boulud Sud, is open for Sunday brunch.

The South Beach Wine & Food Festival returns Wednesday, February 20, through Sunday, February 24, with more events than ever before. When all is said and done, more than 70,000 attendees will have enjoyed 100-plus parties, dinners, seminars, and tastings. The annual fete, which has raised more than $28 million…

Vagabond Sushi, the Amir Ben-Zion restaurant inside the Vagabond Hotel, is closed. It closed yesterday, along with the other concepts that comprised the restaurateur’s Vagabond Village: the Oasis pool bar and Brigitte, the intimate bar and billiard lounge.

There is something comforting about the slow-building scents of many curries emanating from a kitchen. Regardless of how commonplace Indian food has become, it retains a remarkable appeal of the exotic.

Steven J. Perricone opened his restaurant in a Brickell that was vastly different than it is today. The New York-born restaurateur and nightclub owner opened the restaurant 22 years ago with a feeling that the mostly residential community would grow. “I always had an affinity for emerging areas. I was in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood in the early 80’s and South Beach in 1989. I kinda felt it had a future.”

As exhilarating as love can be, when it comes to modern coupledom, there’s a lot to juggle, especially when duos decide to unite their personal lives and careers. Though running a restaurant together might seem the stuff of a Hallmark movie, the reality is grueling work, long hours, and the…

After two years of slinging breakfast sandwiches off rickety trucks, Matteson Koche’s El Bagel has secured a permanent location at NE 69th Street and Biscayne Boulevard, with plans to open later this year. The new space will join Phuc Yea, Blue Collar, and Jose Mendin’s recently opened La Placita…

At Mandrake, sushi and sake are served inside a whimsical-looking dining room and garden patio, illuminated in fuchsia-colored lights and anchored by a life-sized golden gorilla statue.

For years, Brad Kilgore wanted to tweak the soft-cooked egg that became a hit almost the day his Wynwood restaurant, Alter, opened in 2015. The only problem was that changing the dish, which accomplished its mission to become a signature almost too well, was borderline taboo.

Manny Sulbaran is making one of the best soups in Miami. It starts with a chocolate-hued mushroom broth that’s infused with ginger, garlic, lemongrass, star anise, kaffir lime, and a touch of soy. It’s filled out with egg noodles, cabbage, herbs, crispy garlic, and a soft-boiled egg. It can be enhanced with pork belly, duck, brisket, pork shoulder, or chicken thigh for another $4, though it’s perfect without them.

Erick Briceño and Michael Honore are obsessed with Jupiña. So much so that a few months ago, when the two 35-year-olds were testing basting sauces for their forthcoming barbecue spot, they took about eight liters of the sugary, pineapple-flavored beverage and reduced it to a thick syrup that could barely fill half a soda can.

Miami’s restaurant scene is off to a good year with several key eateries opening their doors to start 2019 with flavor.

Is it synchronicity, or just good timing? On the heels of the “Assassination of Gianni Versace” winning a Golden Globe for best miniseries, New York City chef and restaurateur David Bouhadana is opening one of his trademark, four-seat sushi bars atop the eclectic, jarring, and oftentimes just-plain-weird oceanfront manor, now called the Villa Casa Casuarina, where the Italian designer lived and died.

Dasher & Crank will serve 11 limited-edition ice creams to celebrate the Super Bowl, the Chinese New Year, and National Ice Cream for Breakfast Day.

This Sunday, before the New England Patriots take on the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII, pregame with pancakes and mimosas. Take your pick of one of Miami’s many restaurants serving brunch, including mojito and sangria pitchers, caviar, and plátano maduro pancakes.

The 8,600-square-foot Brickell North Italia churns out grilled cauliflower and prosciutto pizza and pours beer from local breweries.

After two years in the works, the Citadel has announced an opening date and a final roster of tenants at the food hall. This past Sunday, the massive, 62,000-square-foot project hosted a preview event without knowing when the hall and its various components would finally be ready for the public.

Quick on the heels of last weekend’s Citadel preview, the Lincoln Eatery held its own soiree in advance of its grand opening tomorrow, January 31. The space, developed by Terranova Corporation, was home to a strip of stores on Lincoln Lane, including the much-missed Laundry Bar, where Miami Beach denizens could grab a drink and a smoke while washing their undies…

Restaurants will save downtown Miami. Despite the efforts of the city, its boosters, and the unclear intentions of real-estate developers, whenever one talks about the blocks surrounding historic Flagler Street, it’s mostly the restaurants they speak of. Recent years have brought a flurry of talent to an area that to…
