GLAM Vegan

3301 NE First Ave., Suite 103-1 Midtown/Wynwood/Design District

786-864-0590

Vegan, Organic, Gluten-Free, Menu, Slideshow

Everything at midtown's GLAM Vegan is, well, glam. Though the name is an acronym (Green Living Animals Matter), the word applies to everything at this cozy, chic spot, from the glitzy gold flatware to the periwinkle-hued swag for sale. Everything has the touch of Janette Miller, cofounder and designer extraordinaire. From snacks and soups to flatbreads and bowls, the menu is omnivore-friendly and impossibly fresh. Cofounder/chef Todd Erickson sources locally, and almost everything is made from scratch, including the "meat" for the jackfruit tacos, which undergoes a lengthy marinating, roasting, and simmering process. On the sweet side, GLAM's signature dish is its rich and creamy ube pie, which is gold-tinged and plum-colored. The unique sweet treat is made with purple sweet potato, gingersnap crust, and allspice and comes topped with glittery gold-flake blackberries. Read our full review of GLAM Vegan.

Moye

829 SW First Ave. Downtown/Overtown

305-372-5168

Gluten-Free, Italian, Recommended

Restaurateur Tony Gallo and chef Pietro Vardeu have drawn crowds to Sardinia Enoteca in Sunset Harbour since 2006. Now the pair offers cuisine from another part of Italy. Apulia is a region in the southeast, the heel of the boot. In fact, it's the nation's top producer of olive oil and the birthplace of burrata. At Moyé, their 2-month-old restaurant in Brickell's Chase building, a section of the menu is dedicated to the orbs of mozzarella filled with creamy shreds of the cheese. Alone, these shreds are called stracciatella. Here, you can try them with a side of baby artichokes sautéed with a hint of mint and garlic. The luscious cheese is made in house and is fresh enough to require no olive oil. Another appetizer is zucchini parm, made with thin slices of baby zucchini, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and basil. Decidedly tasty and comforting, it exemplifies the home-cooking style of Apulian cuisine. Moyé isn't gush-worthy, but almost everything here is good, service is solid, and bottom line: It's about time Miami met Apulian cuisine.Read our full review.

Oolite Restaurant & Bar

1661 Pennsylvania Ave., Miami Beach South Beach

305-907-5535

American, Contemporary, Gluten-Free, Latin, Organic, Critics' Pick

Kris Wessel's famous barbecued shrimp are back, this time in South Beach and alongside a cornucopia of dishes drawing from old Florida cuisine, as well as the Caribbean and Latin American influences that color the world of South Florida dining. The whole menu, however, is gluten-free, which means no traditional flour. But that doesn't mean no fun. There's chickpea-flour roti with those sweet, smoky shrimp. The penne in the mac 'n' cheese is made of cornflour, and not even the most refined palate would be able to tell. Wessel is offering boldly flavored ropa vieja, rotisserie duck, oxtail, and slow-roasted pork in a smooth setting with topnotch service, proving that healthful doesn't have to be bland.

Restaurant Michael Schwartz

1775 Collins Ave., Miami Beach South Beach

305-612-1163

American, Buffet, Gluten-Free, International, Recommended, Menu, Slideshow

Located in the iconic Raleigh Hotel, Restaurant Michael Schwartz offers the prettiest outdoor dining in South Beach. It also bears the name of Miami's most revered chef. The restaurant serves spa-like dishes such as mussels in saffron broth, grilled octopus, and grouper ceviche -- a bright medley of raw fish, chilies, avocado, citrus, and red onion. But it also proffers Schwartz classics: thick-cut potato chips with pan-fried onion dip, golden poulet rouge chicken, and pan-roasted local fish. It all comes at a high price; even a light lunch for two can cost more than $100. The lovely view is worth the expense. On the poolside patio, beneath the sea grape tree hung with lanterns and orchids, it's always a nice time for dinner and drinks.

Soul Tavern

1801 W. Ave., Miami Beach South Beach

305-925-0799

Vegetarian, Vegan, Health, Asian, Gluten-Free, Recommended, Best Of, Menu

Soul Tavern, a gourmet vegan and vegetarian gastropub in Sunset Harbour, was designed to provide customers with a retreat from their hectic lives. The tranquil interior and picturesque Zen garden beckon diners to linger over their homemade herbal elixirs or craft cocktails rather than stare at their screens. The cuisine is rooted in an ancient five-element principle intended to create peace within the mind, body, and soul. For example, the earth pizza gets its moniker because it includes a miso base as well as chickpeas and caramelized onions — ingredients that are supposed to create harmony. It tastes good, plain and simple. Also popular are the eatery's vegan maki rolls.

Wolfgang's Steakhouse

315 S. Biscayne Blvd. Downtown/Overtown

305-487-7130

American, Gluten-Free, Steakhouse, Critics' Pick, Best Of, Menu

You know the evils of red meat and the havoc that cows wreak on the environment, but tonight is a special occasion. It's worth it, because it's Wolfgang's. Here's how it goes down: Take a seat in a dining room with more mahogany than a Southeast Asian jungle. Demand a table by the window. This is Miami, after all, and dining within eyeshot of a few palm trees and the glittering bay is your birthright. Begin with the sizzling Canadian bacon. A slab of the cured stuff is cut extrathick, so thick your cardiologist at her Pinecrest home miles away knocks over her Pellegrino because she senses it. If you must have a salad, make it the Wolfgang salad. It's loaded with shrimp and bacon batons cooked until crisp. Then comes the main dish: a porterhouse for two, of course. Even if you're a party of one, you'll want the porterhouse for two. It's all about the sizzling plate popping and sputtering with melted beef fat. It's the ruby-red slabs of meat, each encased in a rectangular shell of char that can be achieved only with the kitchen's 1,600-degree oven. Creamed spinach is a good accompaniment. The German-style potato, cooked with enough clarified butter to grease an airport runway, is better. Whatever dessert you choose, make sure it's topped with a tall mountain of rich whipped cream. That is how you steakhouse. Read our full review of Wolfgang's.
