When the Michelin Guide arrived in Miami in 2022, it served as the strongest validation yet of the strides this city's restaurants have made in recent years. Today, 14 Miami restaurants currently hold Michelin stars, and though there are many, many more restaurants deserving of recognition, these spots truly do stand out. So it's no surprise that during Miami Spice, our annual restaurant months, lots of people want to know: Which Michelin-starred restaurants, if any, are participating?
That's why we've put together this handy cheat sheet, which breaks down all the Michelin-starred restaurants offering Miami Spice deals right now, and what they're serving up on special through September. There are lots more Miami Spice menus and deals to explore beyond the Michelin-starred ones (check out our full guide to Miami Spice for more). And be sure to make those reservations before they're all booked up!
Michelin-starred restaurants doing Miami Spice deals
Ariete (One Star)
What? The $60 Miami Spice dinner menu at chef Michael Beltran's Coconut Grove gem Ariete includes starter options like venison tartare with black garlic and local fish crudo with lychee and toasted chili. For mains, we're opting for the Duck Wellington (duck confit, butterscotch calabaza, orange-thyme jus), though you can also choose from Scottish sea trout in a black garlic jerk jus or chicken in a homestead avocado soubise. The star dessert is a mini flan with candy cap mushroom, sambuca crema and a coffee crumble, or go for the lighter seasonal sorbet with a violet crumble.
When? Sunday through Thursday
Cote Miami (One Star)
What? With one Michelin star under its belt and a lengthy waitlist for dinner reservations, Cote graciously offers its elevated Korean barbecue in the form of a $35 Miami Spice lunch menu. Start with something you might not normally order, like the Black Truffle Shrimp Salad, or their Waldorf made with radicchio, Asian pear and a honey doenjang dressing. From the entrees, we’re beelining to the Limited Edition Fried Chicken, which is brined overnight and includes both white and dark meat with pickled daikon, sweet and tangy sauce. (Though if you’re feeling extra indulgent, opt for the Butcher’s Lunch beef assortment for $25 more.) For dessert, it’s their famed vanilla soft serve with soy sauce caramel—because why mess with perfection?

Stubborn Seed (One Star)
What? Chef Jeremy Ford keeps things relatively simple but bright and flavorful at his South of Fifth staple with a $60 dinner menu for Miami Spice.
