Whether you're craving fresh seafood, sizzling steaks, vibrant Mediterranean fare, or artfully plated Japanese cuisine, Miami Spice offers something for every appetite. Meals are priced at $35 for lunch or brunch and $45 or $60 for dinner, giving diners access to top-tier cuisine at unbeatable value.
What Is Miami Spice?
Organized by the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB), Miami Spice is a two-month culinary promotion designed to highlight the city’s dynamic and diverse food scene. With more than 200 participating restaurants across Miami-Dade, the event encourages locals and visitors to discover new favorites and return to beloved spots.
Each restaurant offers a unique Miami Spice menu, often spotlighting seasonal ingredients and the chef’s signature flair. It’s not just a meal—it’s a curated culinary experience.
Where to Dine
Miami Spice stretches across all corners of the city, from the bustling energy of South Beach, Downtown and Brickell, the artistic vibes of Wynwood, to the upscale allure of Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Aventura, and beyond.
Many of Miami’s best-known restaurants participate, as well as hidden neighborhood restaurants, offering the perfect excuse to explore somewhere new.
Who Should Attend
Miami Spice is for everyone who appreciates a great meal, including:
Locals looking to revisit favorites or try the newest openings
Travelers wanting to experience Miami’s celebrated food culture
Couples and friends planning date nights or social outings
Families ready for a delicious night out
Foodies chasing new flavors at a great price!
And this year, there’s even more reason to indulge!
Giving Back While Dining Out
Miami Spice isn’t just about satisfying your cravings—it’s about supporting the community. Diners have the option to make a donation to Camillus House, an organization that provides food, shelter, and essential services to individuals experiencing homelessness in Miami. Even better, the first $25,000 in donations will be matched by the GMCVB, doubling the impact of every contribution.
Insider Tips for Making the Most of Miami Spice

Explore the menus: Some offer multiple options per course—take a peek online first.
Try brunch or lunch: Often less crowded, and still packed with flavor.
