"Niu Kitchen continues to deliver standout Catalan fare in Downtown Miami, as it has for nearly a decade, maintaining its reputation as one of the city’s best. Standouts include charbroiled oysters, branded tableside with hot coals and paired with a smoky ponzu and rice vinegar-mayo. The gazpacho offers a cold tomato base topped with mustard ice cream and a drizzle of basil oil, plus croutons for added crunch. Don’t skip the arros sec, a paella-style rice with mushrooms and botifarra sausage, or the pan-seared foie gras for a more indulgent start to the night. An extensive wine list featuring natural wines from around the world completes the menu. For snacks, dessert, or a nightcap, head a few doors down to Niu Wine, where there isn’t really a menu, but if you tell the server what you like to drink, multiple bottles will appear." - Allison Ramirez
