Miami Spice is back for its 25th run from August 1 through September 30, 2026, and it is bigger than ever, with a record-setting lineup of participating restaurants across Greater Miami and Miami Beach. New this year is the Miami Spice Reserve tier, a premium batch of experiences that start at $95, while lunch and brunch menus stay at $40 and dinner clocks in at $50 or $65. With many spots already posting menus and reservations expected to disappear fast, locals who want prime tables will need to move quickly.
According to Greater Miami & Miami Beach, the program is produced by the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, and this year's official guide sorts participating restaurants by neighborhood and price tier. The site breaks out $40 brunch and lunch options, $50 and $65 dinners, and the new Miami Spice Reserve level starting at $95. It also spotlights signature dining experiences and invites optional donations that will benefit Camillus House.
Local reporting has pegged the list at more than 300 restaurants, roughly 308 by one tally, and notes a modest increase in menu prices compared with earlier years. As reported by the South Florida Business Journal, restaurateurs and organizers cast the price tweaks as part of celebrating the 25th anniversary and widening the range of premium choices for diners.
Miami Spice By Neighborhood
The Miami New Times has grouped the full Miami Spice lineup by neighborhood, from Coral Gables and Coconut Grove to Brickell, Wynwood, and South Beach, which makes it a lot easier to navigate than scrolling through hundreds of names. That neighborhood view also makes it simpler to plan a night out, whether you are pairing dinner with a gallery visit, a walk, or a pre-show meal.
How To Make The Most Of It
Several kitchens have already rolled out their Miami Spice menus, with Mayfair Grill, Hutong Miami, and ADRIFT Mare among the early posters, so it pays to peek at official menus before locking in a reservation. Miami Living has highlighted sample menus, while MiamiNav points out that drinks, taxes, gratuity, and any menu supplements generally sit on top of the fixed pricing, and that lunch or brunch often delivers the best value on a per-course basis.
Reserve Tier And Extras
Organizers say the Miami Spice Reserve tier is meant for chef-driven seatings, wine pairings, and other elevated formats that do not always match the standard three-course structure. According to Greater Miami & Miami Beach, sponsors for the 25th edition include Uber Eats and select wine partners, and the program is again promoting an optional donation campaign for Camillus House. Diners can expect Reserve seats at marquee restaurants to be limited and priced higher than the standard tiers.
For the sharpest game plan, lean on the neighborhood breakdown from Miami New Times, check linked menus before you commit, and book early if you are aiming for weekend dinners or waterfront views. With hundreds of dining rooms in play and a new Reserve layer on top, Miami Spice 2026 will reward strategy just as much as appetite.
