Beer & tapas make a great pair. Just ask the regulars at this unassuming spot. As far as brew options, they've got somewhere in the neighborhood of 80 bottles of beer on the wall -- plus drafts, wine and cocktails to boot. Pair your fave fermented option with tapas, including quesadillas, tacos, nachos and hot dogs cooked in beer. It's a pleasing alternative to the usual South Beach scene.

Angelique Euro Cafe

117 Miracle Mile Coral Gables/S. Miami

305-529-9922

Bistro, Breakfast/Brunch, European, Menu

Eating here might seem like a blessed event. First, the owners christened this breakfast, lunch, and dinner café their "little miracle" in gold letters above the bar. And second, they have become quite popular for one particular dessert: wedding cake. Miracle Mile shoppers long ago discovered this great stopping point for a slice of the almond-tinged yellow cake with apricot filling and buttercream frosting. But just because there's a selection of loose teas in the back, housed above a display case highlighting decadent cakes and pastries, don't be fooled. This is not a froufrou bakery. It's mostly a sophisticated Euro-style café with a menu comprising predominantly Spanish, Italian, French, and Belgian eats. There are tortillas Catalañas with chorizo and white beans; pasta carbonara; tuna Niçoise; and moules marinières. You mussel aficionados might also want to check out the moules frites: Prince Edward Island mussels prepared four ways - fromage bleu, marinière, chorizo, and ah bière (our fave) - with choice of draft beer or house white wine. The café also offers 40 wines by the glass at an average of only $6. And there are more than 50 types of beer, with a dozen on tap. Can't decide? Wine Spectator ratings are printed right on the wine list, and crafty cocktails made of fortified versions are available. Beer lovers can order a flight of brews for only $9. If you've yearned for a little European hangout in Coral Gables, Angelique might be the answer to your prayers.

Brisa Bistro

1601 Biscayne Blvd. Midtown/Wynwood/Design District

305-714-3680

Caribbean, European, South American

This huge multilevel restaurant looks more like a corporate convention's dining facility than a bistro. But when the upper tier is filled with packed buffet tables on Sunday, the lack of intimacy pales in comparison to the phenomenal deal: The $29.95 all-you-can-eat brunch for two even includes all-you-can-drink bubbly. At nonbrunch times, it's best to stick to simple preparations, but some of these are superior, such as lunch's moist (and gigantic) Super Grouper sandwich or, for dinner, a plentiful Spanish antipasto platter that shines with high-quality raw ingredients.

Coimbra Restaurant

4239 W. Flagler St. Coral Gables/S. Miami

305-446-3633

European, Portuguese, Recommended

Portuguese cuisine is lusty, soulful, rib-sticking fare in which cod - the salted, dried kind called bacalhau - is God. In the wrong hands it can be tough, fishy-tasting stuff. Luckily Coimbra has a good hand with this Portuguese staple and more than a dozen dishes to prove it. Cod fritters are light, crisp, and greaseless; cod sautéed with onions, garlic, potatoes, and hard-cooked egg is satisfying right down to your toenails. Porky chorizo are plump and tasty, and a combo of tender chunks of pork with fat little in-shell clams is downright delicious. Scrape the Hershey's-like sauce off a wedge of cheesecake-dense flan and it's pretty good too.

Kalinka Euro Deli

18090 Collins Ave., #24, Sunny Isles Beach North Dade

305-705-9333

Deli, European, Russian, Recommended, Best Of, Menu

This Russian and European deli and grocery store draws customers from several counties away, who come to buy the herring, halvah, kasha, caviar, candies, kefir, Georgian wines, bottles of bouncy Baltika beer, and all manner of marinated and pickled vegetables in glass jars -- including full garlic bulbs as well as whole tomatoes with the stems still attached. Folks also flock here for the home-cooked specialties, served at a smattering of tables in the front portion of the market (with some more seating outside). For a gratifying lunch (or, for that matter, dinner), try the chicken stroganoff with some steamed buckwheat groats (kasha) and one of the salads, perhaps the tart pink toss of diced beets, pickles, cabbage, potatoes, and lentils. Delightful dumplings known as pelmeni and vareniki, filled with sweet cheese, potato, or beef, are boiled to order, which means you'll have to wait awhile for them to cook. We recommend doing so, because the resultant dish is blissfully fresh and delicious. Pass the sour cream!

Lemoni Cafe

Mediterranean, European, Recommended, Best Of, Menu

The Design District gets a fresh slap of inexpensive goodness thanks to Lemoni Cafe and its smoothies, veggie-packed salads, and word-of-mouth-hyped paninis. While you mooch the free Wi-Fi, munch on paninis such as the Lemoni Supremo, with marinated chicken, pesto, Brie, and cherry tomatoes, or the Mediterraneo, with spinach, olives, tomatoes, and chicken melded together with melted feta cheese. Another menu standout is the tiramisu, courtesy of Argentine Eugenia's Italian grandfather's secret recipe.

Russian specialty markets aren't exactly a dime a dozen in a city that barely squeaks by as separate from South America. But Marky's Gourmet is just such a spot, serving up specialty olives, blinis, perogies, foie gras and other Eastern European treats. It's not all Russian, either, they stock gourmet eats from all over Europe. And if any corner of the world has gourmet eating down, it's the big E. This Shorecrest spot is the place to go when a caviar, escargot or pate craving hits. It's not cheap, but the best never is.

Miam Café

Bistro, European, Recommended, Best Of

The zebra-striped Wynwood Building is a magnet for sightseers, but until Miam (pronounced MEE-um) opened, the landmark offered visitors little more than a photo opportunity. It's one of a handful of real neighborhood places with offerings ranging from vegetarian breakfast burritos to start the day alongside chocolate croissants to help you power through a lazy afternoon. The bistro, which offers free Wi-Fi and plenty of outlets for charging your laptop, is a place where people are invited to hang out, work, or chat with friends.

Bakery, Cafe, Coffeehouse, European, Recommended

Reasonable prices, authentic light French café fare, a chic rustic atmosphere, and, above all, baked goods made with traditional artisan methods make this first outpost of a French chain worth a special drive. Pastries, especially the flaky-crusted buttery fruit tarts and chewy buttercream-filled macaroon sandwich cookies, are delectable, but Paul's heart is its breads, made from custom-grown/milled grain and long fermented for extraordinarily aromatic, chewy, crusty loaves (that conserve well, without preservatives). Eat-in dishes range from continental or more substantial breakfasts to lunch and dinner salads, quiches, crêpes, charcuterie or cheese plates, and super sandwiches.
