Unusual Restaurants in Miami Beach, Florida

Unusual Restaurants in Miami Beach, Florida
Miami Beach is home to many hip and trendy dining spots, often with outdoor seating right along the sidewalk. But some of Miami's most unusual and rewarding restaurants are well hidden and harder to find. You could be the first among your friends to gush about a meal at one of these restaurants.

Romeo's Cafe

Romeo's Café does not have a menu. Instead, the chef will personally come to your table to ask if you have any special dietary needs or foods you tend to avoid. He will then create a six-course meal according to your interests and needs. Enjoy the suspense of not knowing what the chef will serve you; each dish will be a pleasant surprise. Romeo's Café is small and intimate, and perfect for a date or anniversary. With six courses, you'll have plenty of time for conversation.

Casa Tua

You'll feel like a VIP at Casa Tua. The restaurant feels private and secret behind its hedges, and the interior is decorated to feel like an opulent private residence.

Ola

Ola, located in the Sanctuary Hotel, is slightly removed from Miami's usual crowds. The restaurant offers Nuevo Latino cuisine, a creative mix of Latin, Spanish, and Caribbean elements. Chef Douglas Rodriguez is known for his ceviches and seafood. Vegetarian options are limited on Ola's menu, but the cocktail and wine options are excellent. You'll enjoy watching the scene in this hip, modern restaurant.

Decadencia Bistro and Cafe

Decadencia Bistro and Café offers a more intimate dining experience than most large, impersonal Miami restaurants. The owner, chef and servers will engage you in conversation, making you feel at home. The restaurant has an Argentine chef and a Cuban owner, and the food is truly international. Choose from a variety of tapas (small plates), most of them under $10, as of 2009.
