Miami Spice is the local secret that turns Miami’s slow summer season into its best dining months. Every August and September, many of the city’s top restaurants offer prix-fixe menus at set prices, and Brickell has one of the densest clusters of participating restaurants. For owners at ORA by Casa Tua, Miami Spice is the perfect time to explore the neighborhood one table at a time.

When Is Miami Spice?

Miami Spice runs each year from August 1 through September 30, organized by the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau. Participating restaurants offer three-course menus for lunch, brunch and dinner at fixed prices. The official website publishes the list of restaurants and menus each summer, usually a few weeks before the program begins.

7 Delicious Ways to Enjoy Miami Spice

1. Start With Your Neighborhood

Brickell has a high concentration of participating restaurants. Try a new one each week.

2. Use Lunch for Fine Dining

Lunch menus are usually the best value, especially at restaurants that are hard to book at night.

3. Book Early in August

The first weeks fill fast. September is calmer and just as good.

4. Check Which Days Apply

Some restaurants offer Miami Spice only on certain days or meals. Read the details before you book.

5. Make It a Group Dinner

A table of friends can sample most of a menu. It is a great way to entertain visiting family.

6. Pair It With a Wine Night at Home

Finish the evening with a glass at a wine lounge in your own building.

7. Explore Beyond Brickell

Use Miami Spice to try restaurants in Coconut Grove, the Design District and Miami Beach as well.
