At this cozy burger joint on the edge of Wynwood, locally sourced ingredients and stellar craft beer star on a Florida-inspired menu. Order a Frita burger topped with Gruyère and guava jelly or a Key West conch salad while you sip one of 18 brews.

The java spot that launched Miami's caffeine revolution, this no-frills Wynwood flagship is a good pit stop for iced cold brew as you're perusing art and graffiti murals in the district.

A modern and healthy take on Peruvian cuisine that doesn't disappoint on flavor, Suviche is the perfect place to pop by for a great and affordable meal. You can't miss with anything you get on the menu, and the staff always has creative suggestions.

The arroz humedo as a main is reminiscent of a risotto, with smokier flavors and is decadent when tenderloin is added on top. The smoothest caramel flan served with a fresh key-lime whipped cream cannot be missed, even if it has to be taken home.
