The Best Restaurants for Wine Lovers in Miami

Adrift Mare

Miami, United States

Adrift Mare brings Mediterranean coastal cooking into Miami’s herb-forward dining conversation, where oregano, thyme, basil and za’atar matter as much as seafood and grill work. The appeal is less about spectacle than a familiar regional grammar translated for a city built around warm weather, late dinners and a broad appetite for coastal cuisines.

BAKAN

Miami, United States

BAKAN occupies a converted space on NW 2nd Avenue in Wynwood, bringing Mexican cooking grounded in regional sourcing to a Miami neighbourhood better known for murals than serious cuisine. The kitchen draws on indigenous ingredients and preparation traditions that rarely surface in the city's broader Mexican restaurant scene, placing it in a distinct tier from the margarita-and-queso mainstream.

Bouchon Bistro Miami

Miami, United States

Thomas Keller's Bouchon Bistro brings the discipline of classic French bistro cooking to Coral Gables, occupying a landmark building in the heart of the neighborhood's restaurant corridor. The kitchen draws on the sourcing philosophy that defines the Keller portfolio — traceability, seasonal rhythm, and French technique applied without apology. For Miami diners accustomed to trend-led menus, it offers a different kind of argument.

CARBONE VINO

Miami, United States

Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

Carbone Vino occupies a sleek address in Coconut Grove, bringing the Carbone brand's red-sauce Italian sensibility to Miami's most verdant neighbourhood. The wine-forward format places it in a different register from the flagship's New York theatrics, trading table-side ceremony for a more approachable bottle-and-plate rhythm that suits the Grove's slower pace.

Casa Juancho

Miami, United States

Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

Casa Juancho on Calle Ocho holds a White Star recognition from Star Wine List (April 2025), signaling a wine program worth attention in Miami's Little Havana corridor. The address at 2436 SW 8th St places it squarely within one of the city's most culturally concentrated dining streets, where Spanish and Cuban culinary traditions have coexisted for decades.

Also recognized by Star Wine List

Casa Tua

Miami, United States

Among Miami Beach's long-standing Italian tables, Casa Tua occupies a tier defined less by trend-chasing than by consistency over two decades. Ranked #223 among North American restaurants by Opinionated About Dining in 2025 and awarded Star Wine List's #1 ranking the same year, it draws a crowd that treats the James Avenue address as a fixed point on the Miami dining calendar rather than a discovery.

Dining Room (SeaDream II)

Miami, United States

The Dining Room aboard SeaDream II operates under an all-inclusive model where candlelight, crisp linens, and unhurried pacing define every meal at sea. Chef Reto Brändli's kitchen accommodates vegan, vegetarian, and off-menu requests — including a scratch-made pizza prepared to order — against a backdrop of soft conversation and clinking crystal.

Hereford Grill

Miami, United States

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

Hereford Grill sits in Miami's western corridor at 782 NW 42nd Ave, a neighborhood where the dining scene rewards those willing to look past the waterfront. Miami's grill tradition runs from Argentine-inflected open fire to Korean steakhouse formats, and Hereford positions itself within that broader conversation around live-fire cooking and beef-centric menus. Treat this as a starting point for your research before visiting.

Il Gabbiano

Miami, United States

Il Gabbiano occupies a Brickell waterfront address on South Biscayne Boulevard, placing it squarely within Miami's upper tier of Italian fine dining. The room and the occasion go hand in hand here: this is where the city tends to mark anniversaries, closings, and milestone meals. Reserve well ahead, dress accordingly, and expect a format built around ceremony as much as cuisine.

Krüs Kitchen

Miami, United States

Krüs Kitchen holds consecutive Michelin Plate recognition for 2024 and 2025, placing it within Coconut Grove's compact tier of contemporary dining that takes technique seriously without the formality of a starred room. Located on Main Highway, it operates at the $$$ price point where Miami's mid-serious dining market is thickest, drawing regulars who return for a menu built around precision rather than spectacle.

L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon Miami

Miami, United States

2 Michelin stars · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

Miami's only two-Michelin-star restaurant occupies a sleek counter-dining room in the Design District, where the Joël Robuchon atelier format — open kitchen, counter seating, French technique at its most precise — meets a wine program of 745 selections and 2,355 bottles in inventory. Chef Anthony Taormina leads the kitchen under the MGM Resorts banner, with sommelier Mandy Johnson and wine director Douglas Kim overseeing a list strong in Burgundy, Bordeaux, and California.

Lafayette Steakhouse

Miami, United States

Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

A modern French-inspired American steakhouse in Brickell, Lafayette brings together hand-selected prime cuts and a carefully assembled wine list in one of Miami's more formally pitched dining rooms. The combination of French technique applied to American beef traditions positions it in a distinct tier within the city's competitive steakhouse scene.

Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann

Miami, United States

Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

Located in the Faena Miami Beach Hotel, Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann translates the Argentine asado tradition into a theatrical open-fire kitchen on Collins Avenue. The James Beard Award-winning chef's custom-built rig — a wood oven, parrilla "piano," and ash-cooking station — drives a menu of grilled meats, fresh seafood, and fire-cooked vegetables. A Michelin Plate holder in both 2024 and 2025, it sits at the serious end of Miami Beach's dining scene.

LPM Restaurant & Bar

Miami, United States

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

LPM Restaurant & Bar in Miami's Brickell district carries the Riviera French Mediterranean format that made the brand's Monaco and London locations reference points for the genre. A White Star recognition from Star Wine List and a 3-Star accreditation from the World of Fine Wine & Luggage Awards signal a wine program operating at a level above most comparable Miami addresses. The room, the menu, and the list work in deliberate alignment.

Pao by Paul Qui

Miami, United States

Pao by Paul Qui sits inside Faena Hotel Miami Beach at 3201 Collins Avenue, where a Michelin Plate–recognised menu draws on Filipino and broader Asian technique to build a meal structured around shared plates, live-fire preparation, and custom Jono Pandolfi stoneware. Dinner runs Tuesday through Saturday, dress code is smart casual, and the beverage program includes 19th-century-inspired cocktails and a deep sake selection overseen by Faena's own beverage team.

Sixty Vines

Miami, United States

Sixty Vines brings a wine-bar format to Miami's Arts & Entertainment District at 150 NE 8th Street, positioning itself within a city dining scene that skews toward big-ticket steakhouses and chef-driven tasting menus. The draw here is a more relaxed ritual: arrive, drink well, eat alongside. For Miami, that measured pace is less common than it should be.

Stubborn Seed

Miami, United States

1 Michelin star

A Michelin-starred tasting menu destination on Miami Beach's Washington Avenue, Stubborn Seed ranks among North America's top 200 restaurants on Opinionated About Dining's 2025 list. Chef Jeremy Ford runs a progressive American kitchen that draws on Latin and Asian influences, with ingredients sourced partly from the team's own five-acre organic farm in Redland. The format is theatrical and deliberate, built for guests who want a full evening rather than a quick dinner.

Torno Subito

Miami, United States

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

Torno Subito brings Italian-coastal cooking to Miami's Design District at a price point that places it in the upper tier of the city's Italian restaurant scene. A Michelin Plate recognition in 2025. Chef Alessio Pirozzi leads a kitchen that positions the restaurant closer to destination dining than neighbourhood staple.

Vinya Table

Miami, United States

A wine-focused casual dining address on Coral Gables' Miracle Mile, Vinya Table is the sister restaurant to Vinya Key Biscayne. It occupies a specific niche in the Coral Gables dining scene: approachable enough for a mid-week dinner, considered enough for a celebration that calls for a serious bottle. The wine program anchors the experience and gives the room its identity.
