Get that carb fix at Miami’s most popular bakery. Fill up croissants, challah, loaves of bread, and other deli fare like salads, pastas, and more. Expect long lines sometimes, but the wait is worth it.
This aptly named omakase-style restaurant is literally “hidden” behind a taco shop in Wynwood. Once guests enter with a numeric code (provided when the reservation is made), they encounter an intimate, eight-seat restaurant serving up an 18-dish menu featuring small Japanese appetizers, sashimi, and nigiri, all made with seasonal ingredients brought in from Japan, paired with sake, Sochu beer and wine to wash it down with. Make sure to reserve early, as seats book out months in advance.
This colorful taqueria in the heart of Wynwood features an assortment of classic tacos like pastor and fish varieties, along with quesadillas, carne asada fries, and breakfast options.
This Austin import — which is described by many as “altering the city’s culinary identity” — has found a home in Wynwood. The menu features creative sushi and sashimi made with fish flown in daily from the Tsukiji market, as well as makimono, yakimono, agemono, and other Japanese dishes in a chic and serene atmosphere. Those who want to try the entire menu opt for the 10-course chef’s tasting, a six-course signature tasting, and a six-course vegetarian tasting.
From chef Erhan Kostepen, the former executive chef of Mandolin Aegean Bistro comes a meze-focused menu filled exclusively with small plates that are meant to be shared with a group.

This popular Wynwood spot is best known for its famous fried chicken and decadent burgers. Get the Royale with cheese if a burger is on the brain, or opt for some barbecue ribs, rotisserie chicken, or lobster mac ‘n cheese for those craving something decadent. Don’t worry; lighter fare like blackened salmon and tuna tartare can also be found.
This 35,000-square-foot outdoor venue offers a lively atmosphere and a rotating lineup of performers from local names to headline-making acts. Bands take the stage to perform everything from hip hop to classic rock and reggae every Friday through Sunday, while the outdoor food hall lineup is just as eclectic, ranging from vegan fried chicken to pizza to Mediterranean bites.

Marygold’s Brasserie, the much-anticipated new restaurant collaboration from chef Brad Kilgore and the Bar Lab team, has debuted inside the Arlo Wynwood hotel. The menu focuses on Florida-inspired cuisine with items like beignets with jerk oxtail, baked oysters with ’nduja and rye crumbs, grouper al pastor, and Baked Florida, a twist on the classic featuring tropical fruit semifreddo. Drinks are equally as creative with options like the Caper Berry, Marygold’s twist on martini service featuring a choice of Grey Goose or Beefeater, Martini Ambrato, umami brine, and an assortment of accouterments.
