South Beach Dining

If it's been a while since you had a really good meal, then it's been a while since you've been in South Beach. From the humblest diners to the swankiest five-star restaurants, we have foods to please every palate and every budget. You can go out with the family, or enjoy a quiet and romantic dinner for tow on a terrace somewhere overlooking the beach. Whatever you like, our restaurants will provide it. Our fabulous multi-cultural society allows us to offer cuisines from all over the world, some of which are purely Florida creations. Floribbean, Caribbean, German, or French, we serve it all in South Beach.

If it's scrumptious seafood you're craving, we have several spots that will fit the bill for you. Bayside Seafood, for instance, is a local favorite. They call it The Hut, for its laid back bar situated in a tiki hut. You'll be eating like a local with sandwiches and battered fish served on a paper plate. The fish is fresh, and today's catch is listed on a blackboard. You can order it prepared as you like it, including blackened, fried, broiled, or in a good garlic sauce. Although your surroundings will be humble, your meal will be excellent! Wash it down with a cold beer and you're eating Florida style. The East Coast Fisheries offers a retail fish market as well as an extensive menu of seafood. They will offer, depending on the day and the season, such things as including mako shark, swordfish, tuna, marlin, and wahoo. You will get the absolute freshest fish available, served in a variety of styles: grilled, fried, stuffed, Cajun-style, Florentine, hollandaise, or blackened. This place is extremely popular with the locals, so expect a line on the weekend, but the prices are good and the service is great.

You're going to be glad there's a great big beach to walk off your dinner on after you eat at one of our fish places. The locals know that you don't need fancy china and silverware in order to get a great meal. Some of the best are served on paper plates with a plastic fork when you're in South Beach!
