The highly anticipated Miami Spice 2025 is here, offering food lovers a chance to indulge in exceptional dining at discounted prices. This year, the event features a variety of upscale restaurants, including Michelin-starred establishments, allowing diners to experience luxury cuisine without the hefty price tag. During the months of August and September, these prestigious establishments are offering three-course meals priced at $35 for brunch and lunch, and a palatable choice between $45 and $60 for dinner. As NBC Miami reports, this is a coveted chance to dine at spots where the usual fare runs in the hundreds.
For the foodie ready to indulge in a gastronomic adventure, options range from contemporary American with a farm-to-table philosophy to the sophisticated intricacies of French cuisine. In what appears to be a gesture toward sustainable and local farming, Stubborn Seed—an eatery that boasts both a Michelin star and a green star for sustainability—offers dinner options excluding Friday and Saturday, ringing in at $60. Their menu, as Local 10 notes, weaves "in Latin and Asian influences in a manner that is both bold and busy."
At Ariete in Coconut Grove, an establishment infused with the soul of Miami courtesy of Hialeah-born Chef Michael Beltran, you can snag a dinner every day of the week for $60. Described by the Michelin Guide as reported by Local 10, the place "weaves together new American and classic French influences to dazzling effect." This melding is showcased with dishes like boniato gnocchi paired with duck confit, and a refreshing seasonal sorbet to cap off the meal.
Not to be outdone, Le Jardinier in the Design District marries contemporary French cuisine with "smart compositions that pack big flavor minus the heaviness," thus designing a Miami Spice menu that offers lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Sunday at $35 and $60, respectively. The same intricate thought given to each dish can be enjoyed by those electing for lunch, as the program's offerings remain consistently seasonal and vibrant regardless of time of day, as NBC Miami summarizes.
Meanwhile, the allure of COTE in the Design District proves irresistible to carnivores with a penchant for Korean barbeque. Guests can embark on a veritable meat pilgrimage with the Miami Spice $35 lunch option, available Monday through Friday. "A temple to beautifully marbled and aged beef," is what the Michelin Guide called it, according to NBC Miami.
All told, these special Miami Spice menus do not include the cost of beverages, taxes, or gratuity, and are limited to specific times during the week, as noted by Local 10. For anyone looking to seize the culinary riches of Miami Spice 2025 with both hands, the full spectrum of participating restaurants and their respective menus can be found on the Official Website of Greater Miami & Miami Beach.
