If you're anything like us, your calendar has two major seasons: Christmas pop-up bar season and Miami Spice. And while nothing beats sipping a boozy peppermint mocha under fake snow in Wynwood, Miami Spice season is where the real magic happens.
From August 1 through September 30, Miami Spice 2025 is back, and this year, the deals are spicier than ever. Some of Miami's most buzzed-about restaurants are rolling out multi-course prix fixe menus that let you eat like a baller without torching your checking account. Whether you're craving waterfront views at Amara at Paraiso (hello, $35 lunch and $60 dinner) or a Michelin-approved night out at Kaori, this is your chance to treat yourself without the post-meal regret.
And let's talk first-timers: Uchi is entering the Miami Spice chat with a seven-course dinner menu for $60 — yes, really. Sparrow Italia and Piegari are joining in for the first time too, while Delilah and Queen Miami Beach are pulling out all the stops with their glam $60 dinners. Other standouts include Mila and Aviv, all offering luxe $60 dinner menus, plus Beauty & The Butcher, which is giving you the option to spice up both lunch and dinner. And let's not forget Seaspice, where you can live your raw bar fantasy with a $35 brunch while watching yachts cruise by.
Still waiting on menus, but already must-book? Casadonna, Cote Miami, Claudie, El Secreto, and Kiki on the River are all on our radar. And if you want the best bang for your buck, Faena Theater is debuting a dinner and show for Miami Spice — a deal that practically screams "only in Miami." So, go ahead, make those OpenTable and Resy reservations. This summer, Miami Spice is all about saving money while indulging at the restaurants you've been dying to check out all year.
