These are the best restaurants on Miami Spice in 2023. 

If you’re a procrastinator like us, then you’ve probably been pushing off Miami Spice. During Miami’s slow season (August and September), you had the opportunity to dine at a roster of restaurants for a discounted price. Not all Miami Spice menus are worth it. However, if you stick with us every year, we’ll steer you in the right direction.

Your days are limited but these are the seven restaurants we would consider to hit before Miami Spice is over. Until September 30th, local Miami restaurants will feature 3-course meals for either lunch, brunch, or dinner at a steal. At just $30 or $35 for lunch$30 or $35 for brunch, and $45 or $60 for dinner, you can hop around Miami trying out the spots that have been on your list. 

DON’T MISS THE REST OF OUR MIAMI SPICE GUIDES:

DOYA


Neighborhood: Wynwood
Address: 347 NW 24th St
Cuisine: Aegean, Turkish, Mediterranean
Miami Spice availability: Lunch every day
Book your table: HERE
View menu: HERE

If the idea of, “food is better when enjoyed together,” speaks to you, then you will want to stop by Doya. Located in Wynwood, this modern Aegean meze-bar concept is serving flavors from the coast of Turkey. We are talking dips, local produce, refreshing and light plates, meant for sharing. Go to Doya for Miami Spice lunch with a big group. They can handle large parties and big Latin families.

Oh and FYI, the Miami Spice lunch menu at Doya is not just a meal, it’s an experience meant for at least two guests.

Let’s start with the appetizers: Piyaz – a blend of white beans, red onion, sumac, and eggs. Or, if you’re in the mood for a veggie adventure, the Shaved Zucchini, with garlic, green peppers, and a drizzle of EVO. As well as the Haydari – garlic yogurt, burnt butter, and a sprinkle of mint.

For the main event, get ready to meet the stars: Kofte, those grilled Turkish meatballs that are like flavorful fireworks, and Chicken Thighs – juicy, succulent, marinated with onion and sumac. Dessert time means Pistachio Baklava, layers of flaky pastry, and pistachio goodness.

MIGNONETTE

Address210 NE 18th St
Cuisine: Seafood
Miami Spice availability: Dinner every day
Book your table: HERE
View menu: HERE

Mignonette, known for its oysters and seafood dishes is on Miami Spice. “Anything goes” meaning everything on their menu is up for grabs (well, almost) for an affordable price. Sorry, caviar lovers their Miami Spice menu excludes caviar, king crab, jumbo lump crab, oyster flight, and whole fish.

But either way, you’ll have options galore which is rare on Miami Spice. Mignonette offers a little something for everyone. For appetizers, be sure to try their spicy tomato Mussels or the mouthwatering Charred Octopus. For your main course, we recommend the Crispy Skin Stripped Bass or the Red Fish with andouille crust, both complemented by the rich bomba rice and succulent shrimp and lobster consommé. And be sure to end on a high note with either the classic carrot cake or a tangy slice of key lime pie.

For +$20, order the Butcher’s Lunch. It comes with a USDA prime hanger steak, 45+ days dry aged ribeye, and COTE galbi grilled tableside, accompanied by lettuce, scallion salad, and ssamjang. End your meal the COTE way with a Vanilla Soft Serve with soy sauce caramel.
