FL · Lunch
The 10 best lunch spots in Miami.
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: only places that are actually open at lunchtime, ranked by Harry Score.
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.
How Harry ranks lunch
A great dinner restaurant is not automatically a great lunch.| Weekday lunch | Open by 12:30 and still open at 2pm on at least three weekdays, going by the listed hours. A dinner room that opens at six doesn't qualify, however good it is. |
|---|---|
| Harry Score 70+ | The same composite as everywhere else, from Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor and critic signals, adjusted for tourist skew. Seventy is the floor. |
| Lunch prices | Top-price-tier rooms, tasting menus, bars and anything Harry rates paying for the scene are left out. Lunch shouldn't cost dinner prices. |
