"Modern Basque cuisine takes center stage at Edan Bistro in North Miami. Chef Aitor Garate Berasaluze, who honed his skills at Spain’s Azurmendi and Miami’s now-shuttered Leku, brings his Basque heritage to life with the restaurant’s refined yet approachable menu. The simple sunlit dining room, filled with greenery and relaxed vibes, feels equally fitting for the backdrop to a family brunch or an intimate dinner. Standout dishes include crispy shiitake croquetas, smoky grilled octopus, and creamy pumpkin rice. Don’t leave without trying the famed Basque cheesecake that’s slightly burnt on the outside and gooey on the inside. For those seeking the full experience, the eight-course tasting menu — an almost unheard-of price of $100 per person in Miami — is a must." - Olee Fowler
