These are the best restaurants on Miami Spice in 2024
During Miami’s slow season (August and September), you have the opportunity to dine at a roster of restaurants for a discounted price. To be honest, not all Miami Spice menus are worth it. However, if you stick with us every year, you know we’ll steer you in the right direction.
Your days are limited but the good news is we’ve narrowed down the options for you. These are the eleven restaurants we consider to have the best menus and would 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 $35 for lunch, $35 for brunch, and $45 – $60 for dinner, you can hop around Miami trying out the spots that have been on your list.

Miami Spice availability: Lunch Monday to Friday

We’re not sure what you’re saving here but that Limited Edition Fried Chicken sounds worth it
The Design District has been home to this Korean Steakhouse since 2021. With neon lights brightening up the dimly lit dining room, this is where you’re bringing your bougie clients for a Spice lunch. It’s also a great spot for a long Friday lunch with friends.
Start with the Waldorf Salad, followed by the Optimus Prime, thinly sliced USDA prime rib on La Provence French baguette with provolone cheese. Add steak fries for $4. Or get the Limited Edition Fried Chicken, an organic chicken that is brined overnight with a crispy fried layer, that comes with white and dark meat, pickled daikon, and sweet and tangy sauce.
We don’t love upcharges, but we think this one is worth it. For +$25, order the Butcher’s Lunch. It comes with a USDA prime hanger steak, 45+ days dry aged ribeye, and marinated 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

Kaori is a modern Asian restaurant that is a literal gem in Brickell. And luckily for us, they’re on Miami Spice.
