Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Little Haiti

We decided to have Valentine’s Day dinner here and it was the best decision ever. The service was amazing. The drinks left me absolutely speechless. I had 3 drinks and would’ve had more because they were absolutely delicious, but I didn’t want to make a fool out of myself 😂. The food was 100/10 and me and my partner couldn’t stop talking about it all night. Overall we spent around 400$ but we did order a lot of food. 3 appetizers, 2 sides, 1 entree, dessert and 3 cocktails.

Save yourself a plane ticket to Paris… just drive to beautiful Design District and lunch or dinner at Le Jardinier! The food is exquisite; fresh, light, innovative. Expertly served and explained with great care and accuracy. It is a gourmet experience, an event. The restaurant is impeccably kept, fantastic music plays (at a volume that allows for conversation and interaction! Imagine this, here in Miami!). Despite their well choreographed service, we asked for a slightly different meal for one of our guests that was pescatarian and Chef was happy to accommodate. Drinks were wonderful. Le Jardinier has been, and continues to be, simply elevated and superb!

Doya – A Must-Try for Greek & Turkish-Inspired Meze Recently dined at Doya, a fantastic spot that blends Greek and Turkish flavors with a menu designed for sharing. The restaurant specializes in both cold and hot meze, making it perfect for a communal dining experience. For cold meze, I highly recommend the traditional fava bean spread, eggplant (babaganoush), green goddess dip (similar to tzatziki), and shrimp carpaccio—all fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Among the hot meze, we tried the rib steak over the wood-fired grill, which, while cooked well, needed a bit more seasoning. However, the grilled Dorado fish was outstanding—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We rarely order dessert, but the chocolate mousse with cherries was a standout and an absolute must-try. Service at Doya is team-oriented, delightful, and impressively quick. The food comes out fast, making for a seamless dining experience without feeling rushed. Overall, Doya delivers a wonderful dining experience, with a well-executed menu, great service, and a lively atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore high-quality Mediterranean flavors in a shareable format.

So I fell in love with Nami Nori in NYC and was so happy to hear that they opened one in Miami. Wish it was closer to were I live but a lot closer than New York. I love all the temaki and how the quality of the fish is delicious. Out server Stephon was the best and made us feel at home. One thing I have to say is the seaweed (nori) felt like it was sitting out for too long.

EXCELENT FOOD, BEAUTIFULL PLACE, AND EXTEMELY GOOD SERVICE. HOUR SERVER MADE US FEEL AT HOME. IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO SPELL HIS NAME, BUT HE IS FROM TURKEY, AND IS MARRIEDS TO A CUBAN, SO HE SPEAK 3 LANGUAGES. TRY TO HAVE HIM TAKING CARE OF YOU, AND YOUR EXPERIENCE WILL BE OUTSTANDING !!
