Wednesday, August 7: Miami Spice Dinner at Amelia’s 1931

We all know and love Chef Eileen Andrade’s Cuban restaurant, Amelia’s 1931. Named in honor of Andrade’s grandmother, this revamped hotspot dazzles with a bold fusion of Cuban and Asian flavors, all served in a sultry, chic ambiance. We’re lucky that this year the restaurant is taking part in Miami Spice and we get to try a luscious 3-course menu. 

For only $45 per person indulge in a 3-course meal featuring highlights like umami escargot made with gochujang butter and served with sourdough crostini; boniato gnocchi made with Spanish boniato, rocoto cream, and parmesan crisp; and Cuban pork katsu with a sazon completa panko crust, friseé, and hoisin. Get ready for a culinary adventure that’s as rich in history as it is in taste. The Miami Spice dinner is only available on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, and reservations are highly recommended. 

Amelia’s 1931 is located at 13601 SW 26th St, Miami, FL 33175. For more information, visit their official website.

Hey, vino enthusiasts! Dive into the ultimate wine haven at Coral Way’s Cana Wine Bar. This isn’t just a spot to grab a bottle — it’s a sanctuary where your wine game reaches legendary status. Cana Wine Bar is a boutique gem, flaunting an exclusive lineup of wines handpicked by top chefs and sommeliers. The focus? Rare wines from small producers, sometimes as exclusive as 500 bottles a year. And don’t worry, the prices won’t break the bank, so you can savor top-tier wine without the splurge.

Every Thursday from 5 to 9 p.m., join their wine tastings for some insider tips and snag discounted bottles to take home. Wine sippers can also indulge in some exclusive bites curated by our favorite butchers over at The Wagyu Bar. We’re talking Colorado Wagyu beef carpaccio, AAA bluefin tuna tataki, and Ora King salmon nigiri, to name a few. 

Sunday, August 11: National Panini Day at Ironside Pizza

Ironside Pizza, a Miami Upper East Side favorite, is celebrated for its Florida pine-fired pizza dough and bread. But this National Panini Day, we’re shining the spotlight on their wood-fired panini, which will blow your taste buds away. The lineup includes a classic Caprese, mortadella & pesto, and prosciutto & mozzarella made with prosciutto di parma, fior di latte, and garden-fresh basil. 

Kick back in their vibrant garden, where the aroma of wood-fired goodness wafts through the air, and indulge in these gourmet creations. We’ll be pairing our panini with a chilled glass of Pinot Grigio for the ultimate Sunday lunch vibe.
