The annual Miami Spice Restaurant Months officially launched today, ushering in two months of discounted three‑course dining experiences across Greater Miami and Miami Beach. More than 300 restaurants are participating in the 24th annual program, offering lunch and brunch specials at $35, and dinner prix-fixe menus at $45 or $60, representing at least 30% savings off typical prices.
Running through September 30, Miami Spice provides an accessible way for both locals and visitors to explore the city’s diverse culinary scene. With over 20 neighborhoods represented, the lineup includes Michelin‑starred fine dining, Bib Gourmand favorites, neighborhood gems, and exciting first-time participants.
This year’s edition features several noteworthy newcomers, including Uchi and Uchiko—modern Japanese restaurants from James Beard winner Tyson Cole—along with Mimi Chinese, Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay, Andrés Carne de Res, Shiso Wynwood, Daniel’s Miami, and Claudie. Returning favorites include Cote Miami, Le Jardinier, Stubborn Seed, Beauty and the Butcher, and Los Félix—each recognized by the Michelin Guide for their excellence. Other standout participants include Toro Toro, Delilah, Quinto, Felice, Matador Room, and La Grande Boucherie.
Lunch and brunch menus typically consist of three courses for $35, including an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. Dinner offerings are tiered at $45 for more casual establishments and $60 for upscale venues, with some offering omakase-style or chef’s tasting menus under the premium tier. Many restaurants offer evolving menus that highlight seasonal ingredients and regional influences, encouraging repeat visits and culinary exploration.
Restaurants like Toro Toro are offering Latin-infused dinner menus with items such as coconut tuna tiradito and short rib al carbon. Cote Miami, a Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse, features $35 lunch menus with dishes like truffle shrimp salad and steak tartare. Le Jardinier is highlighting French-inspired dishes such as miso-glazed salmon and bacon-wrapped pork loin. Stubborn Seed presents an eight-course tasting menu for $60, while Daniel’s Miami offers a luxurious spread including wagyu, foie gras crème brûlée, and other upscale creations.
More than a dining event, Miami Spice also supports community causes. Diners can scan QR codes on participating menus to make donations to Camillus House, a nonprofit aiding the homeless population. The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau has pledged to match the first $25,000 raised.
This year’s sponsors include Blacklane, which is offering a $30 discount on chauffeur rides to participating restaurants. Official wine partners Terrazas de los Andes and Whispering Angel Rosé, along with Mexica Tequila, are enhancing the dining experience. A custom Margarita Spice cocktail was also created in collaboration with the Miami Beach Botanical Garden, featuring lemongrass and local citrus flavors.
Miami Spice arrives at a pivotal time for the city’s hospitality sector. A slower summer season has seen multiple high-profile restaurant closures, including Michelin-starred Maty’s and Itamae AO. The promotion is expected to help restaurants recover by increasing foot traffic and attracting diners with curated, value-driven offerings. For locals and tourists alike, it’s a rare opportunity to sample the best of Miami’s culinary scene at a fraction of the usual price.
To fully enjoy Miami Spice, diners are encouraged to make reservations in advance, especially for popular venues. Mid-week visits often offer better availability. Exploring a range of neighborhoods and trying lunch or brunch options can also yield great value and variety. Many restaurants may continue offering their Miami Spice menus into early October as a bonus extension of the program.
Whether you’re seeking an indulgent dinner at Stubborn Seed or a casual lunch at a beloved neighborhood spot, Miami Spice 2025 promises a memorable culinary journey through the heart of South Florida’s dining culture.
