Hi friends, welcome back to my Miami series! I hope you aren’t hungry because today’s post includes everything we ate on our trip. Our first stop after dropping off our bags in Miami was at La Sandwicherie, the most famous sandwich spot in Miami. Jon and I went to the North Beach location on our last trip and knew we had to return. They have a few locations across the city and we went to the South Beach one this time. I always go for the Italian and you can choose your choice of bread between a baguette or croissant. You can never go wrong with a massive sandwich on vacation!
Komodo is a trendy spot in Brickell that we met Jon’s coworker and her husband for dinner. It’s one of those spots to be seen and hard to get a reservation. We ordered family style and I enjoyed trying out the different dishes. My favorite was the Korean Fried Chicken and the Miso Chocolate Temptation dessert was to die for! We also enjoyed the Duck Lettuce Wraps, Cereal Rock Shrimp, Wagyu Fried Rice, and Miso Chilean Sea Bass. It was a great meal, but pretty pricey.
I had Salt & Straw in Portland and I remembered it being incredible, so Jon and I trekked to the Miami Beach location in the sweltering heat. We didn’t realize how massive the scoops were, but we got our moneys worth! I went with the Sea Salt w/ Caramel Ribbons & Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Jon got the Chocolate Gooey Brownie & Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. We were definitely in an ice cream coma after this! They just announced they are opening two locations in NYC this summer, so I’m sure you’ll be seeing Salt & Straw again.
Our favorite coffee spot in Brickell was True Baristas. This cute little coffee truck had delicious lattes and great cold brew. We loved being able to walk to grab coffee in just a shirt and shorts.
I picked up a beef kebob pita from Happea for takeout one night when Jon had a dinner at his event. It got a little soggy by the time I could eat it, but still had some great flavor. I think I probably should’ve just eaten it there.
While I was checking out the sculpture garden, I grabbed a beef and a chicken empanada from The Empanadas. They were delicious, but I should’ve gotten more. I gobbled the other up before I could take a picture.
Our final meal in Miami was at Mister O1. Pizza always sounds good to us and we were intrigued by their unique star shaped pizza. We got the Star Luca with ricotta cheese and spicy salami calabrese but our favorite pizza was a limited time collaboration with Miami Heat guard Caleb Martin. It included spicy salami calabrese, Italian sausage, ranch, honey, and black truffle spicy season. The pizza had such a good flavor combination and the perfect way to punctuate the trip.
We thoroughly enjoyed eating our way through Miami! What caught your eye?
Always great to try out the local eateries and coffee house when you travel. It looks like you found a few good ones on your short stay. Having a coffee stop in walking distance is always a good bonus. Thanks for sharing Lyssy. Allan
We always enjoy trying out new coffee shops on vacation, good way to get out the door and start the day!
Delicious eats in Miami. I especially liked your Salt ‘n Straw ice creams!
Those ice creams were some of my favorite!
Love the little coffee truck. And the icecream looks like it would put me in a coma too, but of the best kind 😊 Maggie
We miss that coffee truck. An ice cream coma is always a great state to be in 🙂
I’m so glad I waited until after lunch to read this post! LOL It all looks so good.
We did not go hungry in Miami 🙂
Ooohhhh = everything in Komodo for me please!!!!
That was a delicious meal!!
Komodo caught my eye with its Asian fusion cuisine! We have Salt & Straw here in LA, and it’s pretty good; their waffle cones are intense! Thanks for sharing the good eats you had in Miami Beach!
Komodo was great! Salt & Straw’s waffle cones are so tasty, but a lot!
I’ve already eaten and this is still making me hungry…
It was a delicious trip!
Good thing I just ate, Lyssy otherwise I would greatly suffer! The sweet treats look quite divine, especially ice creams. Sounds, like you had a great time eating your way around Miami. Did you try the famous key lime pie?
It was a hunger inducing post! The ice cream was some of my favorite. We didn’t have any key lime pie, maybe next time!
I had the opportunity to visit Miami this year, but unfortunately the timing didn’t work out this time. Definitely making notes for some of these locations for next time!
Everything looks so yummy, and the ice cream from Salt & Straw seems like the perfect treat on a warm day!
The Le Sandwicherie order up top looks great (and thumbs-up on the jalepenos!) I love how the empanada place “brands” the empanada so you know what’s inside. The pizzas look great too, although the black truffle spice makes me pause. I’m told if it’s not truffle butter it might as well be truffle oil, and I’m not a fan of the pungent smell, even though I LOVE mushrooms.
Those icecreams look amazing.It’s scorching here in England today so wish I could get one delivered….might be a bit melted by the time it got here!!
Oh, wow! The food in Komodo looks amazing! The ice creams are incredible as well. What a wonderful selection of treats!
I am salivating over those desserts, especially the Miso Chocolate Temptation and those ice cream cones! Yum!
Everything looks amazing! I love seeing the food truck set ups as well.
