From August 1 through September 30, Miami Spice brings unbeatable prix-fixe menus to over 200 restaurants across the city—think three-course meals at fine dining spots for $30 to $60. Whether you're a local foodie or a curious visitor, this is your two-month golden ticket to Miami’s culinary scene.

What Is Miami Spice?
Hosted by the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, Miami Spice is an annual program that promotes the city’s diverse and world-class food scene. Participating restaurants offer fixed-price menus for lunch, brunch, and dinner, showcasing signature dishes and seasonal favorites. The goal? To get more people into local restaurants during Miami’s slower summer season—and give diners a chance to sample high-end menus at a discount.

2025 Pricing

  • Lunch/Brunch: $30 per person

  • Dinner: $45 or $60 per person

Why It’s a Big Deal
Let’s be real—dining at places like Joe’s Stone Crab, Zuma, or The Surf Club Restaurant usually costs a small fortune. But during Miami Spice, you can taste what makes these spots special for a fraction of the usual price. This isn’t just happy hour sliders or tiny tasting bites—you’re getting full, curated meals from the same chefs who run the show every day.

Standout Restaurants to Try in 2025

Here are just a few of the big names participating this year:

  • Stubborn Seed (South Beach): Jeremy Ford’s Michelin-starred spot is known for bold flavors and artistic plating.

  • KYU (Wynwood): Asian-inspired wood-fired dishes in a cool, industrial setting.

  • Mandolin Aegean Bistro (Design District): Fresh Greek and Turkish fare in one of Miami’s most charming courtyards.

  • Orno (Coral Gables): A wood-fired New American gem with a seasonal, local approach.

  • The Surf Club Restaurant by Thomas Keller (Surfside): Classic continental cuisine by one of America’s most iconic chefs.

Tips to Maximize Your Miami Spice Experience

  • Make Reservations Early: Popular spots book up fast, especially for weekend dinner slots.

  • Check Menus First: Some restaurants go all out, others phone it in. Browse the official Miami Spice website to compare menus before committing.

  • Go for Dinner: You’ll usually get more variety and value at dinner than at lunch.

  • Ask About Add-Ons: Some places offer wine pairings or signature cocktails at a discount to go with your meal.

  • Tip Generously: Just because the meal is discounted doesn’t mean the service is. Your server still earns their living the same way.

Final Bite
Miami Spice isn’t just about saving money—it’s about experiencing the city’s flavors at their best. From Latin-Caribbean fusion to fine French cuisine, this is your chance to explore Miami’s culinary identity without the high price tag. But it’s a limited-time feast—so plan ahead, book smart, and come hungry.
