The Miami dining scene keeps getting better and better. As the palates of our community mature, so does the restaurant industry. Today, "farm-to-table," "organic," and "clean" are no longer buzzwords — they're standards — and chefs can no longer ride on the coattails of a famous name or stunning decor to ensure success in this city.

In the first half of 2016, we've seen a host of stellar restaurants open. From fast-casual cafés that serve simple and fresh family cuisine at wallet-friendly prices, to cutting-edge eateries that cater to carnivores or vegans, here are the ten best restaurants to open during the first half of 2016. We're looking forward to the next half of the year with a hearty appetite.
