Chef Creole

200 NW 54th St. Midtown/Wynwood/Design District

305-754-2223

Cajun, Creole, Recommended, Best Of, Menu

Wilkinson "Ken" Sejour, AKA Chef Creole, has been serving delicious seafood for years at several Chef Creole locations. There's a reason Anthony Bourdain visited the place during a taping of No Reservations. The Little Haiti location, like the others, is a hole-in-the-wall takeout spot with only a few stools. Generous portions of shrimp, conch, and fish are served steamed, stewed, or fried with helpings of rice, beans, and plantains. This is not a place to worry about your health — opt for the fried stuff and save room the next day for leftovers. Try Haitian classics such as griot (crisp chunks of pork) and queue boeuf (braised oxtail).

The Rumcake Factory

2075 Northeast 163rd St. Aventura/North Miami Beach

305-957-0074

Bakery, Cajun, Dessert, Soul Food, Best Of

The Rumcake Factory is a funny name for a place that creates some of the best Cajun food in town, but that's just how the business evolved. Husband-wife owners Larry and Elena Robinson began catering in 2002 with Larry cooking the food he grew up with in Natchitoches, Louisiana. The rum cake, his mother's recipe, took on a life of its own and remains the signature item at the couple's cozy little shop. A wedge of the moist cake, with sweet buttered rum-walnut glaze, costs $3.50; a whole nine-inch cake is $30. But we're putting the dessert in front of the fine Cajun/soul-food specialties. Like fried shrimp or catfish in baskets ($6.95, $9.50) or the same cleanly fried items in po'boys made on soft French bread shipped in from New Orleans ($7.75, $8.50). Fried turkey and pulled pork get stuffed into po'boys as well, and don't miss the smoked chicken wings ($6.95) -- crisp, mildly smoked, and juicy. Jambalaya and delectable barbecue ribs make it as blackboard specials during the week, and if you're lucky, you'll catch the peerless gumbo. The restaurant is small with few seats, but most folks take the food home.

Brewery, Cajun, Cuban, Bars and Clubs, Recommended, Best Of, DrinkHere

A long-standing brewpub near the University of Miami, Titanic Brewery & Restaurant has been serving up a proper pint in Coral Gables for more than 20 years. Here, a five-barrel system produces consistent, high-quality brews. While the recipes have evolved through the years, Titanic's six house brews have remained largely the same, from a light-bodied kölsch and an easy-drinking extra special bitter to a chocolaty-smooth oatmeal stout and an award-winning rye amber ale. To round out the options, fans can find a rotating selection of more than a dozen seasonal and specialty releases alongside a menu of handcrafted cocktails, martinis, and wines by the glass. The brewpub comes into focus with a sizable menu that covers soups, salads, sandwiches, and entrées, including innovative vegan and vegetarian fare.
