Kebo Restaurant

"The seafood at this Spanish restaurant in Key Biscayne is worth the anxiety of dodging key rats on golf carts in the Key Colony Plaza parking lot. The restaurant’s owner is part of its charm. He swings from table to table pouring wine and bragging about the restaurant’s charcoal grill. That’s where the turbot, branzino, and octopus get their smoky flavors. We especially love the charred prawns, which are sweet, juicy, and served head-on. And rice dishes like their cheesy risotto with shredded oxtail are fabulous too. Just always start your meal with fresh pan con tomate on airy pan de cristal and creamy croquetas de jamon. There’s also a great patio for those winter months when the cool breeze and kids on school break are out in full force." - virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer

"The thought of eating pizza with a yuca crust sounds about as fun as eating a sand castle. But Krunch somehow makes a great one. This casual Key Biscayne pizza shop is the only place in Miami we’ve found that makes pizzas and crepes out of yuca dough. The result is a thin cracker-like crust that doesn’t flop, is gluten-free, and tastes undeniably delicious. Most of their seating is outside under a shady pergola, where you can sit by a relaxing fountain after a day of fighting clumps of sargassum and not have to worry about freezing by an air vent in a damp bathing suit.  " - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
