Being a picky eater in a foodie city like Miami can feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. The city has plenty of restaurants with menus that are flexible and filled with options you’ll actually want to eat. Whether you’re in the mood for pasta, brunch, or a simple grilled dish, these spots keep things satisfying without going overboard.
Bayshore Club
Set on the waterfront in Coconut Grove, Bayshore Club offers a relaxed atmosphere with a menu that’s easy for picky eaters to navigate.

Costa Med
Costa Med in Key Biscayne is the kind of place that leans on timeless flavors rather than over-the-top creativity.

It’s a comfortable choice when you’re in the mood for something classic.
Michael’s Genuine
Michael’s Genuine in the Design District has one of the most versatile menus in Miami, making it a great choice for particular palates dining with more adventurous friends. The offerings range from familiar (and delicious) plates like ceviche, burrata, and beef tartare to more exciting fare such as black truffle pizza, kimchi Benedicts, and milk chocolate cremoso, depending on when you visit. With so much variety, you can stick with something you know while others at your table experiment — everyone leaves happy.

It’s the kind of spot where you know you’ll find something you like, and the laid-back atmosphere keeps the whole experience stress-free.
Threefold Cafe
Threefold Café in Coral Gables is a go-to for breakfast and brunch, with a menu that works for both picky eaters and those who like to experiment. You’ll find approachable comfort picks like eggs any way, avocado toast, and salmon scramble, but the café also slips in more adventurous plates with creative twists for when you’re ready to branch out; think chili eggs, smoked salmon okonomiyaki, and lamb burgers.
