So, without further ado, here are the Miami restaurants that La Liste has deemed to be among the best:
Hiden
Score: 82.5
True to its name, this upscale speakeasy omakase is hidden behind a casual taco spot in Wynwood. You’ll need a password to enter, where you’ll find an elegant eight-seat counter that combines authentic Japanese fine dining with a fresh concept, in which fresh ingredients are flown in directly from Japan.
📍Location: 313 NW 25th St, Miami, FL 33127
L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon
Score: 80.5
Holding the distinction of being South Florida’s only two-Michelin-star restaurant, this modern French eatery honors the legendary late chef Joël Robuchon’s legacy while introducing fresh innovation. Its dining room is designed around an open kitchen counter, where guests can watch chefs prepare their seasonal creations, with a modern flair.
📍Location: 151 NE 41st St, Miami, FL 33137
Naoe
Score: 78.5
Unlike your typical high-energy Brickell eatery, this intimate omakase counter only serves a handful of guests per seating. Led by Chef Kevin Cory, this unparalleled culinary journey features seasonal catches and seafood that is sourced globally, in addition to sake and soy sauce served directly from his family brewery in Japan.
📍Location: 661 Brickell Key Dr, Miami, FL 33131
COTE Miami
Score: 77
Nestled in the Design District, COTE combines the elegance of an American steakhouse with the communal fire of Korean barbecue, delivering an experience that’s as memorable as it is flavorful.
