Eleven restaurants in Miami and four in Orlando have earned their first stars awarded by the traditional French publication
Miami was already known as a gastronomic destination, and the first Florida Michelin Guide in history, published on June 9, confirms this vocation. Of the 15 starred restaurants in this first edition, 11 are in Miami, with one of them receiving two stars. The other four are in Orlando, proving that the theme park city has a lot to offer beyond fast food.
or Michelin Guide Miami, Orlando and Tampa also highlights 29 options in the Bib Gourmand category: 19 in and around Miami; 7 in the Orlando area and 3 in the Tampa area. These are restaurants with quality food at an affordable price. There, a two-course meal with a glass of wine or dessert costs up to $ 49.
The only two-star restaurant of the year, L’Atelier restaurant keeps alive in the Miami Design District the legacy of the late French chef Joël Robuchon, who opened his office nearly two decades ago in the Parisian neighborhood of Saint-Germain. In addition to the à la carte options, there is also the seasonal menu (currently the spring menu at US $ 190) and the Evolution tasting menu (US $ 280), suitable for those who want to get to know the cuisine of the house in depth.

Director of the culinary operations of L’Atelier, Alain Verzeroli is a disciple of Robuchon and creative mind also of Le Jardinier, where seasonal vegetables are the protagonists of the menu. Chef Michael Beltran uses French technical sophistication to revive his Cuban roots in Aries, Coconut Grove. Both restaurants were awarded a Michelin star.
The Latin soul prevails in two other city kitchens recognized by the French guide: Elcielo Miami (Colombian experimental cuisine from chef Juan Manuel Barrientos) and Los Félix (Mexican inspired by the country’s indigenous heritage). Asians are present in the selection with a Michelin star both in Orlando (Japanese Soseki and Kadence) and in Miami (Korean Cote Miami and Japanese Hiden).
In addition to traditional Japanese hospitality, The Den restaurant has chefs trained in Tokyo to prepare sushi. It works inside an almost secret lounge at Azubu Miami Beach, one of the dining options at the Marriott Stanton South Beach. The omakase-style (tasting) menu costs $ 220.
Orlando at Michelin
The only restaurant within the perimeter of the theme parks, Capa is located on the top floor of the Four Seasons Orlando and is part of the Walt Disney World complex. In addition to steaks (starting at $ 45), the Spanish-inspired steakhouse serves appetizers, such as ham and caramelized onion croquettes, for $ 11. Inside the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, chef John Tesar prepares the meats to perfection at Knife & Spoon.
Rounding out the star list are three American restaurants in the Miami area: buoy , of Italian influence; He’s stubborn seed, under the guidance of Top Chef winner Jeremy Ford; And The Surf Club Restaurant comfort food with the contemporary touch of chef Thomas Keller.
