"In such a casual dining neighborhood, Silverlake Bistro almost feels like a special occasion meal. That’s not because it’s expensive or needlessly fancy. But their wallpaper is cute and they have a menu of great bistro dishes like mussels and grilled bread, steak frites, and one of the best burgers in town (which you should absolutely add bacon to). This is one of those neighborhood spots where you’ll want to become a regular, both because the service is so friendly and because that burger is worth eating on a weekly basis." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
"This is a good one to seek out if you're sick of smashburgers. It consists of two un-smashed patties, lots of melted cheddar, porcini mayo, and strips of thick bacon, which are “optional”—but, in our opinion, essential. Another great thing about this burger: it comes with a big pile of crispy, skinny fries. There’s an option to make them truffle fries, and we can’t think of a more satisfying way to spend a few dollars." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"This cozy Normandy Isles neighborhood spot offers American fare with French accents, but regulars come for its decadent burger and fries. Featuring two patties, cheddar, bacon, porcini mayonnaise, and steak sauce, it’s great to share with a friend or enjoy alone with a glass of cabernet sauvignon. Best for: Date night with a burger lover" - Stacy Moya
"Silverlake’s burger is quite tall thanks to its double patties, and it gets even more height if you add the strips of thick bacon, which we endorse. This is also a great one if you’re a little sick of the whole american cheese/onions/ketchup flavor profile. Silverlake shirks that in favor of melted cheddar and porcini mayo. Another great thing about this burger: it comes with a big pile of crispy, skinny fries. There aren’t enough skinny fries in Miami, in our opinion. " - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
"Silverlake Bistro (La Fresa's sister restaurant) is a casual North Beach restaurant with some sidewalk seating, outstanding taste in wallpaper, and simple but really great bistro dishes. Food is the main reason to come here, so bring those friends who will appreciate one of the best burgers in town (which you should absolutely add bacon to), chicken with impressively crispy skin, and duck fat-seared gnocchi. It’s just impossible to have a bad meal here, especially if you add a bottle of wine to the equation." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
