Eating and Drinking in Miami, Florida

According to Topschoolsoflaw, Miami’s cultural diversity is also reflected in the cuisine. Gourmets will not only find numerous authentic restaurants here, but also increasingly fusion cooking. And there are no limits for the chefs, as you can see from these examples. At the moment, South American restaurants are particularly in demand and are opening up a new culinary horizon that has hardly been seen in Central Europe to date.

Joe’s Stone Crab Restaurant, which Joe Weiss opened in 1913 as a small snack bar in Miami Beach, is well-known far beyond national borders. It is now the most famous stone crab house in the world and is definitely a “must-go” in the region. The number 1 specialty there is, of course, the claws of the Florida rock crab – an extremely tasty delicacy that is caught on the east coast of America from Connecticut to Belize. www.joesstonecrab.com , 11 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139

The Spillover: Originally a bar that served burgers and ciders direct from the manufacturer, it became a hip and trendy place whose specialties are now known far beyond the borders: conch (the meat of the large snail) in different versions, BBQ alligator ribs, crab cakes, buffalo shrimp tacos and the Cajun-style shrimp and sausage stew jambalaya. When the ‘Catch-of-the-Day-Fish’ is actually fresh, the names of the boat and the fisherman are mentioned. There is also a range of beer specialties and the unusual mixture of a cider with mead. www.thespillovermiami.com , 2911 Grand Ave #400d, Coconut Grove, FL 33133
