#1 DANIEL’S STEAKHOUSE MIAMI
Daniel’s Miami in Coral Gables has already been named one of the top 10 steakhouses in North America — an impressive feat after just four months in business.

For the holidays, Daniel’s is celebrating with a “12 Days of Christmas” series of à la carte specials.

#3 YAMASHIRO MIAMI
Perched atop the 9th floor of Gale Miami Hotel & Residences, the event highlighted Yamashiro’s stunning Japanese-inspired design, from lush garden pathways to its iconic pagoda-style bar, all framed by sweeping views of the Miami skyline.
#4 ALTAMURA TRATTORIA
Altamura Trattoria brings the heart of Italy to Doral, thanks to chefs Massimo and Elisabetta Tundo. Walking in feels like stepping into a warm, Italian countryside home, where every dish—from Nonna Ivana’s tender gnocchi to the playful “Zza’ Zza’” pizzas—is a love letter to their heritage and the generations of cooks who inspired them.
#5 MAREVA 1939
Located in Miami Beach’s iconic Art Deco National Hotel, home to the famous infinity pool, Mareva 1939 is serving a three-course holiday menu with a Spanish twist. Starters range from an indulgent oxtail and foie gras finger sandwich with manchego and so much more.
