The 14 Best Restaurants on Miami Beach | Eater Miami

"For island-inspired farm-to-table cuisine, head to Paya where James Beard-nominated chef Niven Patel and his business partner Mo Alkassar pay homage to the many flavors found in the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, and Spanish islands. Using produce from the chef’s own Homestead farm, Rancho Patel, the menu features dishes that range from duck confit lumpia to Bahamian conch fritters and a crispy whole fish with fennel, heirloom tomatoes, and a ginger sesame sauce. Pro-tip: Paya offers a 10-dish tasting menu for $75, which is an even bigger steal on Mondays when it’s just $50." - Amber Love Bond
