Don’t Skip the Signature Burger at DB Bistro Moderne

April 14, 2015 by

Located within the posh JW Marriott Marquis hotel in downtown Miami, DB Bistro Moderne serves contemporary French fare under the watchful eye of Daniel Boulud, a James Beard Foundation award-winning chef.

We could go on and on about the restaurant's sleek, modern decor — Miami's take on a traditional Parisian bistro — but instead, we'll cut right to the chase and tell you what to order: the Original DB Burger. Because even though the menu at this upscale restaurant centers around French cuisine, it's the eatery's signature cheeseburger that has tongues wagging. Nestled within a parmesan bun, a sirloin and braised short rib patty reveals a decadent surprise at its core: a mouthful of foie gras. Diners say it's not merely a burger; it's an experience.

The Original DB Burger is served at DB Bistro Moderne during lunch and dinner. Follow it with another creation signature to the restaurant: the crunchy chocolate bar.

March 10, 2015 by

Zuma gives new meaning to "dinner with a view." Not only is the food (contemporary Japanese) presented artfully on the plate, Zuma's position overlooking the Biscayne Bay promises an eyeful of luxury yachts gliding through the bay's emerald waters.

Eating House Miami: Local Food, World Class Taste

February 10, 2015 by

Born out of a passion for food shared by two friends, the Eating House Miami serves quality food, using good, local ingredients. The owners believe in what they are doing, so a lot of the herbs are grown in the restaurant’s own garden and most of the products are procured from local growers and producers. The focus is on the food, so the restaurant’s décor is modern and casual, but not overdone. Don’t be surprised if you look down and see un-matched silverware and plates. The menu isn’t big on selections, but everything has big flavors (ever tried ox tail before? Get it here with an Asian flair!). And regulars love the dessert “dirt cup.” Make it a point to come to brunch – it’s the only place around where you can get Cap’n Crunch pancakes with a Tang Mimosa!

The Titanic Brewing Company was the first brewpub in the Miami/Coral Gables area, and it it's still the best. Located just south of Alex Rodriguez Park and Cobb Stadium, Titanic Brewing Company is a restaurant that starts with the beer. The bar is always stocked with six year-round and six seasonal brews, all produced in Titanic’s own brewery.
