If you ask me, summer is one of the best times to eat your way through Miami.
Every August and September, restaurants across Greater Miami and Miami Beach offer specially priced multi-course menus during Miami Spice, giving locals and visitors the perfect excuse to explore the city’s incredible dining scene.
There’s something about sitting down at one of your favorite Miami restaurants and hearing the server say, “Would you like the Miami Spice menu?” Instant smile. Even if you’ve been there dozens of times, it suddenly feels like the perfect excuse to order something you’ve never had before.
What Is Miami Spice?
Miami Spice is an annual dining event featuring prix fixe lunch, brunch, and dinner menus at participating restaurants throughout Greater Miami and Miami Beach. It’s one of Miami’s most anticipated summer traditions and a great way to discover new restaurants, revisit old favorites, and experience some of the city’s top chefs at promotional prices.

How Do I Make the Most of Miami Spice?
A few things I’ve learned over the years:
- Make reservations early, especially for weekends.
- Finally try that restaurant you’ve been talking about all year.
- Explore the neighborhood before or after your meal. One reservation can turn into an evening discovering a part of Miami you haven’t visited in a while.
- Remember that beverages, tax, gratuity, and some menu upgrades may not be included.
The Miamism Take
Living in Miami means there’s always another restaurant to try, but it’s easy to fall into the habit of going back to the same favorites. Miami Spice is my annual reminder to branch out. I’ve discovered some incredible places over the years simply because they were participating, and many have become regular stops long after Miami Spice ended.
