In addition, four restaurants—Krüs Kitchen, Los Félix, EntreNos and Stubborn Seed—earned Green Stars for their commitment to sustainability.
Individual talent was also celebrated, with Jacqueline Pirolo of Macchialina receiving the Michelin Sommelier Award and Juan Camilo Liscano of Palma honored with the Michelin Young Chef Award, representing Miami’s next culinary generation. Meanwhile, 14 restaurants retained their Bib Gourmand distinction for delivering outstanding meals at great value, and nine newcomers were added to the Michelin-recommended list—further proof that excellence in Miami’s food scene is only growing.
From luxury tasting menus to innovative, sustainability-driven kitchens, Greater Miami and Miami Beach are leading the way as a culinary powerhouse. With global recognition and unmatched talent, the destination continues to rise one plate at a time.
