Tuesday, July 1: Lunch at Old Lisbon

At Old Lisbon, weekday lunch feels like a quick trip to the Portuguese coast, complete with seafood-laced aromas and a glass of wine in hand. We’re starting with the bacalhau à Brás — shredded cod with golden fried potatoes, onions, and scrambled eggs. For something slightly heartier, go with the caldeirada de peixe e marisco, a soulful seafood stew swimming with shrimp, clams, and mussels. Let’s not forget the sardinhas assadas — grilled to perfection, smoky and delicate, paired with punched Portuguese potatoes.

Carnivores aren’t left out either, though. Carne de porco à portuguesa hits all the right notes with garlicky pork, crispy potatoes, and vinegary pickles in one glorious bite. Every lunch includes a soup or salad, and yes, there’s wine too for an extra $9 — because even early weekdays deserve a little indulgence. Simple, satisfying, and brimming with old-world soul.

Wednesday, July 2: New Prix Fixe Summer Menu at CLAUDIE

Summer dining just got a dose of Riviera glamour. Until the end of July, CLAUDIE invites you to indulge in a limited-time Summer Prix Fixe Menu at $85 per person, available Sunday through Thursday. Set in a breezy, sun-dappled sanctuary that channels Mougins by way of Miami, CLAUDIE’s seasonal menu is pure summer seduction. 

Begin with a chilled heirloom tomato gazpacho or delicate branzino carpaccio, then lean into indulgence with spinach and ricotta ravioli or the utterly decadent truffle toupie macaroni. Escargots and other French staples make an appearance too, each dish kissed by CLAUDIE’s signature flair. The setting? Think wicker and wood, coastal tiles, and a central fountain humming softly in the background. It’s easy to forget you’re in the city.

CLAUDIE is located at 1101 Brickell Ave S-113, Miami, FL 33131. For more information, visit their official website.

Friday, July 4: 4th of July at Loretta and the Butcher

If your Fourth of July plans involve good food, better wine, and zero pretense, head straight to Loretta and the Butcher. This Coconut Grove gem is firing up the asado for a proper summer celebration. Start with their iconic empanadas (trust us, get two), then move on to the main event: a perfectly charred skirt steak served with golden fries that require nothing but your attention. There’s also Loretta’s Burger, which definitely deserves its own special mention: prime beef, provolone cheese, bacon, caramelized onions, and garlic aioli spread on a brioche bun; thank us later.

Pair it all with a chilled glass of Malbec or a round of house sangria on the terrace, and you’ve got yourself a holiday done right. Loretta and the Butcher offer nothing but bold flavors, laid-back vibes, and a menu that makes you want to stay long after the last bite. Reservations are highly encouraged.

Saturday, July 5: Dinner at Graziano’s 

The day after the fireworks, keep the celebration going where the flames never stop. That’s right, Graziano’s. This Argentine institution does grilling the old-school way, over quebracho wood, with reverence for every cut and no shortcuts in sight.

Ease into things with the carpaccio de ojo de bife Angus straight from Logros Ranch in Córdoba, Argentina. That’s a tender rib-eye carpaccio with aged 18-month Grana Padano shavings, fried capers, extra-virgin olive oil, and optional truffle shavings for an extra oomph. Of course, you can also go full feast mode with the picanha al asador for two, carved tableside and kissed by fire. Their empanadas (especially the lamb and potato) are reason enough to return, but if you’re already there, don’t miss the ribeye Milanesa or costilla de res, slow-grilled short ribs that fall apart with just a look. Pair it with a bold bottle of red or a floral gin and tonic, and you’ve got one post-holiday spread for the books.
