The Best of NileGuide
- If your idea of dining out is a trip to a relative's house for some of mom's, grandma's or auntie's home cooking, stop reading now. There may be nothing like a home-cooked meal, but for many people, one of the pleasures of eating well is unearthing a nice public eatery where both the food and ambiance is just right. Dining out is part of the fun of visiting Miami, which pulsates with culinary activity and embraces varied cuisine stemming from its multicultural melting pot of ethnicity. The Miami area has restaurants of every class and strip, from simple barbecue dens to four-start gourmet kitchens; Cuban, Argentinean and Brazilian spots to French, Asian and fusion cooking. But searching for the right restaurant here, as anywhere, means navigating a mine field of fast-food joints and greasy spoons and running the gauntlet of establishments serving uninspiring and mediocre dishes. Diners looking to avoid the frustration can use this list as a starting point for their research.
