Miami's food identity is shaped by its Latin American communities, with Cuban cooking in Little Havana, Haitian in Little Haiti, Colombian and Venezuelan in Doral, and a broader Caribbean and Latin American spread across much of the city. The strongest food quality in Seemor's analysis comes from the community-rooted neighbourhoods rather than the beachside hotel dining, with Little Haiti and Wynwood showing notably high quality relative to price. Prices lean toward the higher end across the metro, particularly in Miami Beach and Coral Gables, though the Latin and Caribbean neighbourhoods remain accessible.
Miami has 706 analyzed restaurants. Some of the strongest areas for dining are Design District, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove. Top cuisines include Mediterranean, American, Latin American.
