Summer in Miami means discounts on some of the best restaurants in the city, thanks to Miami Spice.
Why it matters: The summer restaurant discount program gives diners a chance to eat meals at acclaimed (and in some cases, Michelin-starred) restaurants at budget-friendly prices — while supporting local restaurants during their offseason.
🤑 How it works: Running from Aug. 1 to Sept. 30, Miami Spice Restaurant Months features over 300 local restaurants.
- Order prix fixe, three-course meals for $40 each for lunch or brunch and $50-$65 each for dinner, a slight increase from 2025 prices. (Drinks, tax and gratuity not included.)
- Each menu comes with an appetizer, entree and dessert. Just remember to ask your server for the Miami Spice menu specifically.
- To qualify, restaurants must offer 30% savings off their regular menu, per the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, which organizes the annual program.
Deals on our radar: Whether it's the price or the offerings, we're excited to try these restaurants.
- Cote Miami: Let's be honest, we're going back for the soft serve.
- Joe's Stone Crab: The dinner menu ($65) features the Joe's Experience, which comes with half an order of select stone crabs.
- Fooq's: After the long-awaited return of this popular restaurant, we're excited to try the $50 dinner menu.
- Cafe La Trova: The $50 dinner comes with live music if you go on a Wednesday or Thursday.
- Daniel's Miami: This buzzy steakhouse is doing brunch, lunch ($40 each) and dinner deals ($65).
New to Spice: While we love revisiting our favorite Spice menus year after year (hi, Beauty and the Butcher!), here are a few rookies we're excited to try.
- Tȃm Tȃm: The $50-a-person deal includes some of the downtown favorite's best dishes.
- Double Luck: The Wednesday-Sunday deal includes popular dishes like the orange chicken.
- Tin Tin: The Little Havana restaurant is featuring a $65 dinner menu and a $40 Sunday brunch offering.
