The 7 Best Miami Restaurants for Shareable Plates
Why commit to just one dish when you can try five? Miami’s best shareable spots make it easy to mix, match, and graze your way through flavors from around the world. These seven eateries bring people together—one plate at a time.
Bombay Darbar
Bombay Darbar is the kind of place where you come with a group and leave feeling like family. The menu is packed with flavor-forward dishes made for sharing. First, start your experience with crispy vegetable samosas and the tandoori chicken wings. From there, build a feast around chicken tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, and tandoori shrimp—to name a few.
Don’t forget to order plenty of garlic naan—it’s soft, warm, and perfect for scooping every last bite of curry. The upscale-casual vibe and décor make it a lively spot to eat, laugh, and linger.
Elia on the River
Elia brings Southern Italian charm to the Miami River. This sleek and scenic spot is tailor-made for group dining. Start your meal with highlights like salmon, tuna tartar, and octopus carpaccio. Then, share plates of lobster capellini, grilled lamb chops, and chicken Milanese; the menu here is vast.
Want to impress? The whole branzino is a showstopper, perfect for passing around the table. Add in some wine, waterfront views, and a light breeze off the river, and you’ve got one of the most transportive meals in town.
El Toro Loco
El Toro Loco doesn’t do subtle. This is a celebration of meat in all its grilled, smoky glory. Their massive platters—loaded with churrasco, ribs, chorizo, chicken, and pork belly—are a sight to behold. There are also à la carte options—just expect everything to also be huge. Whether you’re dining outdoors or grabbing a to-go box for a picnic, El Toro Loco brings Latin flair and big-time satisfaction to every bite. It’s bold, messy, and wildly delicious.
El Toro Loco has multiple locations in Miami. For more information, visit their official website.
La Grande Boucherie
From prime steak tartare and foie gras to steak frites and profiteroles, La Grande Boucherie serves unapologetically rich French classics meant to be enjoyed together. The menu is full of dishes perfect for sharing, whether it’s a towering seafood platter, a bubbling French onion soup, or a perfectly cooked filet de boeuf.
There’s a certain joy in ordering a little too much here: a round of escargot to start, an extra side of pommes purée, or that second dessert you swore you’d skip. Here, you can expect meals that stretch on for hours and plates that are always passed back for “just one more bite.”
La Grande Boucherie is located at 81 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139. For more information, visit their official website.
La Natural
At La Natural, pizzas steal the show with perfectly balanced toppings and flavors. Complementing the pies, the small plates—Japanese sweet potato, charred carrots, and papaya —deliver straightforward, satisfying flavors that everyone at the table will love. The thoughtful natural wine list ties it all together, making La Natural a go-to for relaxed meals where good food and good company come first.
Old Lisbon
At Old Lisbon, dining feels like being welcomed into a Portuguese family’s kitchen, where plates arrive heaping and the flavors are rich with tradition. It’s a place built for sharing; delicious dishes like garlicky shrimp, spicy sausage, seafood stews, and codfish galore come together to create a feast that invites connection. It’s hearty, homey, and perfect for feeding both your appetite and your soul.
Suviche
SuViche hits the sweet spot between sushi cravings and Peruvian comfort food, making it a crowd favorite for groups with mixed tastes. One minute you’re dipping into bright, citrusy ceviche, the next you’re passing around crispy lomo saltado spring rolls. There’s no shortage of options, including poke, wok specialties, and—of course—maki. At Suviche, everyone gets what they want—and then some.
Suviche has multiple locations in Miami. For more information, visit their official website.
