Miami’s Best Outdoor Dining on Resy

Miami’s Best Outdoor Dining

Where to dine outside this season — from sunny sidewalk seating to secret backyard gardens.

List of Restaurants

Nikkei cuisine has taken Miami by storm, and you’ll find some of the best interpretations of it at this South American import. The menu is extensive but fun to peruse, from traditional nigiri sushi to ceviches, anticuchos, and wood-fired meats. As expected, the sake list and pisco cocktails are fantastic. What is surprising? The next-level brunch.

DC PIE CO

4.5 (83 reviews)
Italian & Pizza
$$
You could come just for the pies, which have a tangy homemade sauce, three cheeses, and a crackling, brick-oven crust. (P.S.: Pepperoni isn’t just an afterthought; slices are also crisped up and served as a side dish.) But don’t be afraid to veer into other parts of the menu, from fresh salads to saucy chicken wings and eggplant parm.

Chateau ZZ's

4.6 (1.5K reviews)
Mexican
$$
Only Major Food Group (Sadelle’s, Carbone, Dirty French) can put an exciting Mexican restaurant inside a historic 1931 French-inspired chateau in Miami. Jaw-dropping details fill every nook and corner, from the ornate dining room to the solarium bar and atrium-like patio. And the food? Lobster spread with jalapeño butter, warm flour tortillas, and an array of salsas fit in perfectly.

Delilah Miami

The L.A.-born supper club that made chicken tenders a luxury item has a home on Biscayne Bay. The kitchen plays it straight on the classics (those tenders, with hot honey and buttermilk ranch, are as good as advertised) while slipping in a stone crab salad that would only exist in South Florida.

Tacombi - Brickell

4.3 (78 reviews)
Mexican
$$
Once a Volkswagen bus on the beaches of Yucatán, then a beach-meets-retro hot spot in New York, Tacombi clearly feels right at home in Miami. This fourth location offers the same stellar taco menu (al pastor, carnitas, carne asada, and occasionally birria), plus pitchers of margaritas and housemade aguas frescas. The lush outdoor courtyard, two bars, and open kitchen are part of the fun.
