Delilah Miami
Biscayne Bay
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to document your night out on Delilah’s patio for your ‘gram — they have a strict no photos or videos policy. However, your doubts about this situation should go right out the window once you see their patio space and live music lineup, though. Know that the famous chicken tenders are worth the hype, so do order accordingly.
Osaka Nikkei Miami
Brickell
The terrace at this Peruvian Japanese spot is the place to be. Make sure you have a hokkaido scallop ceviche, citrus-glazed ribs, and a Pisco cocktail on your table. Know that the food looks as good as it tastes, so get ready to let the camera eat first.
Rosemary's Miami
Wynwood
Plenty of places offer outdoor seating. But how many of them offer outdoor spritz bars? Perhaps only Rosemary’s, where we head for a garden seat to savor focaccia with sea salt and rosemary, Sicilian-style chopped salad, and orecchiette with broccoli rabe and housemade sausage. And, of course, a Rosemary’s Spritz with Aperitivo Cappelletti, prosecco, rosemary and orange peel.
Mandolin Aegean Bistro Miami
Design District
With its manti dumplings on the list of Miami’s must-eat dishes, stylish, open-air Mandolin is a shoo-in among the city’s best outdoor dining spots. Each visit feels like a trip to the Aegean Sea, with Greek and Turkish standouts like baked feta with heirloom tomatoes, beef souvlaki, lamb chops with orzo pilaf and other dishes that pair excellently with cold, pink wine.
Elia
Allapattah
The riverfront patio of this Allapattah oasis is an ideal perch for lunch, brunch or dinner, but consider coming for its Sunset Hour menu. From 3 to 6 p.m. weekdays, enjoy $10 signature cocktails, like the Red Sicilian (Tequila, blood orange, and lemon), and a selection of bar bites, including margherita pizzas, truffle fries, and bruschetta for $10 each and fried calamari for $15. A deal and a view? Yes, please.
Abbalé Telavivian Kitchen – South Beach
South Beach
Chef Sam Gorenstein’s light and bright South-of-Fifth Israeli cafe is full of food you want to share and outdoor nooks in which to share it. At lunch, a selection of salatim like onion tahini, za’atar labneh, and babaganoush can lead into bigger plates of flame-roasted whole branzino with preserved-lemon tapenade and grilled lamb chops with grated tomatoes and confit garlic.
Carbone Miami
South Beach
It may not be any easier to nab a reservation for an outdoor table at Carbone than it is to get an indoor spot, and the people-watching is pretty prime whether you’re inside or out. Still, the 50-person patio with its lush greenery and rattan ceiling fans provides a pretty perfect backdrop to enjoy your spicy rigatoni and lobster fra diavolo. Keep the Negronis flowing.
Le Jardinier Miami
Design District
French technique and vegetable-driven cooking feel perfectly at home in Le Jardinier’s airy outdoor setting in the Design District. The three-course lunch menu changes seasonally and includes the pastry team’s housemade breads. Start with an asparagus veloute or spring crudo, consider salmon confit and roasted potatoes, and leave room for one of the almost-too-pretty-to-eat desserts.
Amara at Paraiso
Edgewater
You can’t miss the gorgeous views of Biscayne Bay whether you sit inside or on the patio at Amara, but the closer to the water the better, right? Start with smoked fish dip and a shareable plate of empanadas alongside a chilled cocktail — or go super-chilled with a frozen “frojito” with passionfruit — before moving onto mains. It’s a Michael Schwartz restaurant, so anything off the wood-fired grill is going to be, well, fire. Bone-in ribeye and local catch of the day? Sold.
Avra Miami
Sunny Isles Beach
Take in sea views from the serene patio of this high-end Greek import from New York, nestled in the Acqualina Resort in Sunny Isles Beach. Stay classic: Greek salad, halloumi or saganaki, and then fresh fish of your choice — flown in daily from around the world and sourced locally as well — either charcoal-grilled and deboned or cooked whole in a salt crust. Savor it all with a Santorini martini: cucumber, gin, grapefruit liqueur, and basil.
Bouchon Bistro
Coral Gables
Book a courtyard table at chef Thomas Keller’s Bouchon to serve as your perch as you work your way through traditional French fare like onion soup, seafood plateaus and croque madames at lunch, Lyonnaise salad, steak frites and seared foie gras at dinner. Don’t feel like commiting to a full bottle from the deep wine list? Bouchon’s selection of Coravin pours gets you 5 ounces of some standout reds, whites and even sparklers, like non-vintage Ruinart Champagne rosé.
Motek South Pointe
South Beach
Motek’s kosher-style, all-day brunch menu runs the Mediterranean gamut from shakshuka with spicy tomato to flaky Yemenite pancakes with tahini. The restaurant’s sizable indoor-outdoor space in the South of Fifth area makes a convenient jump-off for a day on the sand or a meandering stroll through South Beach.
