& globes displayed behind the lacquered wood bar, or perhaps it’s the undeniable feeling that patrons have suddenly been transported a world away from Miami’s hypermodern dining scene. Owners Danny and Lorraine Guiteras opt for fresh roses and handpainted frescoes over the whole Tulum-inspired fad. Black-and- white films screen behind the bar. There’s live jazz every Saturday night (no DJs), imparting the feel of an old New York salon or Paris café. Family-owned since 1997, the Globe is a sophis- ticated spot for lunch, dinner, or happy hour (former Coral Gables mayor Raul Valdes-Fauli is a regular). Fortunately, the menu doesn’t ro- tate — the steak frites, fish and chips, pear ravi- oli, and signature Globe salad are as delectable now as they were 25 years ago. BES T RES TAURANT ( C OCONUT GROVE) Sadelle’s 3321 MARY STREET MIAMI, 33133 305-990-8707 SADELLES.COM Sadelle’s started in New York City as Major Food Group’s (the folks behind Carbone) ver- sion of a brunch palace. Here in Miami, it quickly became the buzziest place in town to get a bagel. This Coconut Grove stunner is a fever dream of breakfast and lunch classics that take you back to your gluttonous child- hood, from pigs-in-a-blanket to tuna melts (try one on a salt-and-pepper bagel), triple- decker sandwiches, and salads so huge you’ll wonder whether you’ve started a lettuce shortage by ordering one. For pure nostalgia, the restaurant offers New York breakfast fa- vorites like smoked salmon, whitefish, sable, or salmon salad platters served with toma- toes, capers, and a bagel of your choice. Going with friends? Splurge on the “Sadelle’s Tower,” an assortment of bagels, fish spreads, and veggies on an Instagrammable tower. BES T RES TAURANT (BRICKELL ) Stanzione 87 87 SW EIGHTH STREET MIAMI, 33130 786-360-1852 STANZIONE87.COM 82 82 Even as too many schmancy restaurants keep popping up in Brickell, Stanzione 87 manages to continue to deliver on its promise of a top- quality meal, in this case, pizza. The wood- fired Neapolitan-style pies arrive with their crusts perfectly blistered, their centers im- possibly molten. Opt for classic Margherita if youre a purist, or top it with sausage and pep- pers for a flavor bomb. Those who are feeling more adventurous might opt for the decadent truffle white pizza. (More of a subs and wings type? Stanzione’s fine if you skip the pizza al- together. But whatever you do, leave room for the Nutella calzone. Drink Eat BES T RES TAURANT (DOWNTOWN) All Day 1035 N. MIAMI AVENUE MIAMI, 33136 305-699-3447 ALLDAYMIA.COM When All Day closed amid the pandemic, Mi- ami lost one of its great coffee shops and res- taurants. Then, as if by magic, partners Chris MacLeod and Camilla Ramos reopened the downtown Miami jewel this past March. From 8 a.m. till 3 p.m. each and every day, the restaurant serves eggs, pastries, drinks, mi- mosas, and more. At least as important, though, is the fact that All Day, like all great coffee shops, serves as a gathering place (and in some cases an office) for remote workers looking to escape their bedrooms. The little café also pledges to give workers fair wages, to source its food responsibly, and to give back to the neighborhood where it resides through donations and events — and provid- ing a safe, welcoming space to linger with a fine cup of coffee. BES T RES TAURANT (WYNWOOD) Kyu 251 NW 25TH STREET MIAMI, 33127 786-577-0150 KYURESTAURANTS.COM Hip and modern, Kyu offers a diverse menu of shareable plates, wines, and cocktails that are perfect for a night out or celebra- tory dinner. The Asian-fusion presenta- tions are simple yet elegant and delicious, and the generous portions check the always crucial value box. A number of dishes on the menu are creations you likely won’t see anywhere else, like hamachi crispy rice, charred summer corn, and a wood-fired Thai fried rice stone pot. Speaking of wood- fired, for every tree burned to fuel Kyu’s grill, they replant five.

There were no Dior and Gucci stores, no public art on the streets, no pop-up installa- tions. Schwartz earned a reputation for creat- ing dishes with well-sourced ingredients. He termed his food “genuine” for the way he treated it: without any tricks — only respect.
