FL · Lunch
A good lunch gets two hours of your afternoon back. A bad one costs three and you spend it wishing you'd eaten at your desk. Harry has done the triage so you don't have to.
The Cuban lunch counter is the most efficient meal in Miami. The medianoche, the pressed pan cubano, the cortadito at the window. Little Havana has the best lunch per dollar in the city and has no interest in being discovered. The Wynwood lunch scene is a different product — it is selling the neighbourhood, not the food.
| Time value | Lunch has one rule: you have to be back. Harry accounts for service speed — a venue that takes ninety minutes to get through a two-course set is a dinner restaurant wearing a lunch menu. Great food at the wrong pace is still a bad lunch. |
|---|---|
| Harry Score | The composite score from Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor and critic signals — but weighted for lunch-appropriate venues. A Michelin-starred dinner restaurant that runs a mediocre midday service scores lower here than the counter spot that does one thing at lunch and does it perfectly. |
| Worth It score | Lunch should not cost dinner prices. Harry's Worth It score flags places that charge a reasonable amount for what they deliver — and flags the ones that decided a sandwich is worth twenty-eight dollars because it comes with a view of the open kitchen. |
