A First Timer’s Guide to Wynwood

Geoffrey Anderson

Wynwood is one of Miami’s most popular neighborhoods. A big reason for that is all the street art and art galleries everywhere. Another big reason: the restaurants. You can’t take a few steps before encountering a great place to eat. Because there are so many spots to choose from, we’ve put together this handy guide for first timers. 

Buya Izakaya + Yakitori

There’s no shortage of Asian-inspired restaurants in Wynwood, and Buya stands among the best. It’s known for its shareable dishes and affordable price point, making it ideal for small and large groups alike. We suggest getting two-to-three dishes per person, so everyone can try a little bit of everything. Crowd favorites include the tempura beech mushroom, short rib ramen, yellowtail snapper, and pork belly buns.

Buya Izakaya + Yakitori is located at 250 NW 24th Street, Miami, FL 33127. For more information, visit their official website

Hiyakawa

At Wayku, guests can expect a stellar display of Latin fusion cuisine. The vibrant offerings pull influences from all over; you’ll find everything from tuna tataki and arancini to rainbow trout, corvina, and braised short rib. The drinks menu is just as tasty with a long list of spirits to select; if there’s a brand you like, you’ll likely find it stocked here. Cocktails are playful and flavorful with names like Latin Lover, Serpent King, and Mrs. Cougar; happy hour is a steal in Wynwood with $10 cocktails.   

Wayku is located at 73 NW 26th Street, Miami, FL 33127. For more information, visit their official website
