Restaurants in Miami
In Miami, there's a world of cuisine, from Asian fusion to classic all-American diners. Expensive establishments cluster around South Beach's Collins Avenue, including upmarket sushi restaurant Blue Sea. In Little Havana, you can find affordable Cuban coffee, late-night cocktails and ethnic menus from Cuban to Haitian. The up-and-coming Design District brims with laid-back restaurant-lounges. Most Miami restaurants close surprisingly early but there are late-opening bars along South Beach. Around 15% tip is expected.
