Malibu Farm Miami Beach
Malibu Farm packs a serious punch. Between the restaurant’s stunning view of the Atlantic Ocean and chef-owner Helene Henderson’s flavorful (and super nutritious) menu, we simply can’t get enough. Order the arugula, mango and burrata salad, the avocado pizza on cauliflower crust and the chicken-ricotta burger.

Duh, no surprise here. We can’t help but include the restaurant that has been around since before we can remember. Rusty Pelican, we heart you, your seafood and your unparalleled view of the Miami skyline.

Where else can you dine on Michelin-starred Japanese cuisine right by the ocean? Azabu Miami Beach serves killer fish (think salmon tataki, miso black cod and spicy tuna crispy rice) with a view of the water. Just make sure to reserve a table on the restaurant’s outdoor patio in advance.

There are many reasons why we love Deck Sixteen. The restaurant serves the best grilled halloumi cheese we’ve ever tasted, topped with za’atar-spiced pistachios and a strawberry champagne vinaigrette. The rooftop location makes for a pretty epic beachfront sunset. Oh, and next door you’ll find Miami Beach’s one and only rooftop dog park. Just call this place heaven.

Stiltsville Fish Bar
This nautical spot serves up some of our favorite summer eats. Catch us on the patio, indulging in the crispy whole yellowtail snapper, lemon-dusted fried chicken and chilled watermelon and pickles all while staring at the sunset.

At this Michael Schwartz–owned restaurant, feast on platters of Argentinean meat and cheese while sipping a chilled Malbec and taking in the view. Yeah, it doesn’t get any better.
