    I’m pescatarian, but my friend is vegan. Sometimes dining at restaurants that exclusively meet her diet, I’m ill-impressed at the taste/texture of the food. PLANTA is a clear exception as their food is incredibly tasty, and I would think would please most anyone (who isn’t determined to bite into a juicy piece of beef😉).

    A delicious, high-end take on Moroccan cuisine. We had the chicken tagine, vegetarian couscous, tabbouleh, beets, and chickpea fries. As well as the seasonal fruit tart for desert - pistachio & raspberry. Everything was delicious. The couscous was sweeter than we expected (due to the sauce), but it was very good. If you go, get a tagine! Doesn't get more Moroccan than that.

    Verde at the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is a hidden gem that offers a unique dining experience with incredible views of Biscayne Bay! I recently had the pleasure of visiting this stylish and modern restaurant. Situated within the museum, Verde offers both indoor and outdoor seating, and I opted for the outdoor terrace to take in the breathtaking waterfront scenery. Now, onto the food. I ordered the margherita pizza, and I have to say, it was absolutely delicious. The thin, crispy crust had just the right amount of char, giving it that authentic wood-fired flavor, while remaining light and airy in the center. Overall, my experience at Verde was exceptional. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Miami, Verde is definitely worth a stop for a delicious meal in a gorgeous setting!
