Here’s a truth about Miamians: We love to complain about Brickell’s nightmare traffic, but then we willingly subject ourselves to it anytime there’s an occasion to celebrate basically anything. That’s because the barely-existed-a-generation-ago neighborhood is now home to many of the city’s best restaurants. These typically fall into the categories of glamorous spots helmed by renowned chefs and restaurant groups that spent well into the eight figures creating glittering cathedrals of fine dining.
If what you seek for a night out with your significant other is crystal chandeliers, velvet ropes and a meal with a bumping club soundtrack, you’ll have no problem stumbling upon one on nearly any Brickell block. But for the neighborhood’s best restaurants—including chef-driven concepts, chill seafood spots and, yes, even clubstaurants—we’ve got you covered with our fully vetted guide below. These restaurants in Brickell run the gamut, from affordable options for a post-work happy hour (this is the financial district, after all) to trendy rooftops with sky-high prices to match.
