Best Rooftop Restaurants in Miami
Juvia
No matter what time of year it is, you can always count on Juvia for a show. With candy-colored skies and sweeping views of South Beach to match, sunset dinners at the Lincoln Road restaurant are always a treat.
But if you’re not there for the view, don’t worry: The food doesn’t play second fiddle to the skyline. Juvia’s Japanese-Peruvian menu impresses with all kinds of ceviches as well as cooked dishes, including tasty Chilean sea bass served over a decadent black truffle risotto.
Address: 1111 Lincoln Rd, Miami Beach, FL 33139, United States
Terras
If you’re looking for a rooftop bar that’s not in Coconut Grove, look no further than Terras. Located in Little Havana, this is the only rooftop bar in the area—and what a view! The view of Brickell’s skyline is stunning and makes you feel like you’re on top of the world.
The food is Latin-inspired and mostly plant-based, with some interesting dishes like fried mushrooms and hearts of palm salad. Plates are small but a few will amount to a satisfying meal. You don’t have to be staying at the hotel to enjoy breakfast on the roof, either. It’s an excellent place to enjoy both food and drink!
Address: 528 SW 9th Ave, Miami, FL 33130, United States
Cebada Rooftop
If you’re looking for a rooftop that’s got it all, look no further than Cebada Rooftop.
It’s the only Cuban restaurant in the sky of Coral Gables, and it’s right downtown. It serves creative interpretations of classic Latin dishes, with a menu that will keep you from getting too drunk, so your night can be over before it even starts!
We love the chorizo-spiced cobia with sofrito fumet and yuca mofongo crumble, as well as Spanish fried chicken with guava butter.
Go ahead and book that reservation, you know you want to!
Address: 124 Giralda Ave, Coral Gables, FL 33134, United States
Vista
The bilevel restaurant Vista is a feast for the eyes and the belly.
The space is fully exposed, but enclosed by plants, so it’s cozy and breezy at once. The wooden pergola is illuminated by bistro lights at night and covers the outdoor space, but it’s open to the elements, save for one thing: the delightful scent of freshly-cut french fries with raclette cheese or any of their house-made pasta dishes.
And don’t worry about the temperatures: no meal at Vista is complete without an order of either!
Address: NE 2 Av &, NE 50th Terrace, Miami, FL 33137, United States
Serena
It’s like an elevator ride up to Mexico City, only better.
Serena is a dazzling lounge in the sky, with lots of cozy nooks concealed by blooming bougainvillea bushes and lit by twinkling string lights. The couch setups and garden feel are intentional, you’ll surely want to stay here awhile.
In the outdoor kitchen, chef Scott Linquist dishes out his best takes on uni and crab tostadas—and other coastal Mexican cuisine. The squash blossom quesadillas and the classic caesar are two dishes that should not be missed.
Address: 915 Collins Ct, Miami Beach, FL 33139, United States
Area 31
If you’re looking for a place to eat and drink that’s a little bit different, Area 31 is the place to go. It’s not a restaurant, it’s an experience!
You’ll get a view of the city that will make you feel like you’re dining in the clouds. And the food is fresh and delicious, you won’t have to worry about what might have been frozen or pre-made.
The drinks are also top-notch, and they come at reasonable prices during happy hour on Thursday and Fridays from 5 to 7pm. If you’re looking for something original and exciting, this is the place for you!
Address: 270 Biscayne Blvd Way, Miami, FL 33131, United States
Watr at 1 Rooftop
From the moment you step up to the rooftop deck and see the ocean, you’ll know that Watr is a place worth visiting. Watr’s inviting atmosphere and stunning views are only amplified by its delicious Peruvian-inspired menu and reclaimed-wood furnishings.
You’ll hear the sound of breaking waves occasionally compete with the down-tempo house soundtrack, but it’s mostly chill, laid-back vibes in the serene restaurant. Fill up on fresh sushi and crudos or ignore the fact that you’re dining next to a pool and dive head first into Watr’s burger. It’s towering and drippy, but worth every calorie (and $27) you can pack away!
Address: 2341 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139, United States
Bellini Restaurant & Bar
At Bellini Restaurant & Bar Rooftop, you’ll be treated to a feast for the eyes and the stomach.
The fourth-generation Cipriani brothers, Maggio and Ignazio, bring their family’s legendary Italian cuisine to the Mr C hotel in Coconut Grove, with breathtaking views of the city skyline. Whether you sit outside on the terrace or cozy up at a table inside, the wrap-around windows make it, so everyone’s got the best seat in the house.
And don’t worry about being hungry before your meal arrives: here, you can get traditional pasta dishes like cacio e pepe with a refreshing Bellini (it’s the namesake, after all) to wash it all down.
Address: 2331 Tamiami Trail N, Naples, FL 34103, United States
Mila
MILA’s MediterrAsian concept is a spectacle on its own, but it gets even better when you add in the fire dancers.
The crowd at MILA’s is as much of a performance as anything else on the menu. The restaurant, lounge and bar are located above Lincoln Road in South Beach, and they’ve got a view that will knock your socks off.
But don’t worry, you won’t need to put your socks back on for long once they start serving their cocktails with dry ice! You’ll also get to see some of the best sous-chef work around as they sear off meats right at your table and put the final touches on dishes like wok-fried calamari or lobster tacos right before your eyes.
And if all that weren’t enough, there are also fire dancers performing at different times throughout the night, so sit back and take in this spectacle created just for you!
Address: 1636 Meridian Avenue Rooftop, Miami Beach, FL 33139, United States
Salvaje
So, you’ve heard of Salvaje.
You know it’s a nightlife hotspot in Tokyo and Hong Kong, but you’ve always wondered what it would be like to experience the magic in Miami. Well, now you can! The first U.S. outpost of this internationally known Japanese-fusion spot is coming to town, and we can’t wait for you to experience it.
Located in Midtown’s new luxury residential tower, Salvaje will bring with it excellent views of the city (catch them from the rooftop’s bamboo daybed), an incredible sushi menu featuring fresh catches like lobster dumplings and wok-fried rice with roasted duck, and a nightlife pedigree you’ll recognize as soon as the sun sets over Miami Beach and the music turns up (it’s literally tableside dancing).
Not a fan of raw stuff? The grilled lamb shank and lobster dumplings are delicious ways to fuel up for a night on the town. And yes: that does mean dancing with your food!
Address: 101 NE 34th St, Miami, FL 33137, United States
