Restaurants in Sunny Isles Beach

Provence Grill is a comfortable and relaxed Restaurant where people come to enjoy delicious, moderately priced food; and quench their thirst with a wide assortment of imported and domestic wines.

French entrepreneur Siben N’Ser founded the first Planet Sushi in Paris in 1998. Its combination of sculptural cuisine and sleek, modern interior design quickly caught on. Within a few years, he had built sister restaurants in Miami Beach; Ibiza, Spain; and in a handful of towns across France. At the Miami location, purple lights lend a nightclub vibe to the dining room, where guests can watch the chefs work via several flat-screen TVs. Creative maki such as the crab- and asparagus-filled crunch salmon roll radiate color from plates. Starters such as tuna-avocado tartare brim with French influences, and desserts such as lemon sorbet celebrate Florida’s famous citrus. Chefs also shape whimsical specialty dishes such as the Planet Sandwich, which stuffs spicy tuna, American cheese, and avocado between triangular slices of “bread” made from rice.

Guests seeking an extra-romantic atmosphere can toast glasses of sake in a private room or head to the patio to reshape tuna maki into hearts beneath the stars. Alternatively, a fleet of scooters delivers most of the menu to homes and offices.

La Vie En Raw Cafe's owners, Sabina Torrieri—dubbed a "health food guru" by Daily Candy—and chef Diana Koen, know that any specialty diet, and healthy eating in general, can be extremely difficult to maintain while eating out. So they created La Vie En Raw Cafe in order to help diners get access to healthy foods that are 90%–100% organic.

The duo actually takes healthy eating a step farther by following the raw-food diet, which relies on uncooked fruits, grains, and vegetables to nourish the body and help aid digestion and weight loss. The majority of the food is never heated above 116 degrees so as not to destroy important enzymes and nutrients.

The plant-based meals are yeast-, dairy-, and gluten-free (excluding sandwiches) and handcrafted using vitamin-rich ingredients, such as kale, quinoa, and cashew cheese. Juices are made fresh from carrots and beets, and desserts with chocolate, coconut, and orange flavors satisfy any sweet-tooth cravings, as highlighted by the Urban Times, which raved about the chocolate-mousse pie.

The "ARTernative vegan café" also attempts to better the community by displaying a colorful collection of locally made artwork. It spreads the word about raw eating through regular cooking classes, sells organic produce, and offers wellness programs that teach healthy lifestyle habits, such as how to floss using celery strands.

GreenStreet's dinner menu overflows with tempting salads, pastas, and burgers, as well as unexpected entrees such as chicken Provençal with tomatoes, basil, and garlic sauce ($17), orange duck with mashed potatoes ($19), and veal scaloppini dripping in a delectable creamy porcini sauce ($19). After 5:30 p.m., GreenStreet offers pizzas, such as goat cheese margherita with garlic and sundried tomato ($14), or the vegetarian, arranged with tomato sauce, broccoli, eggplant, mushroom, and optional cheese ($13), both of which make a proper pairing for a glass of Strozzi Chianti ($8) or any one of many liquids on GreenStreet's wine list. Beyond the cork, open-air diners can capitalize on the full bar, which boasts house cocktails, classic liqueurs, and a variety of domestic and imported brews.

As the sun dips below North Lake, strings of lights bordering Taverna Opa’s patio flicker on, casting a warm glow on the water below. The crepuscular calm lasts only a few moments at Taverna Opa: once night falls, live DJs take to the stage, furnishing belly dancers with a throbbing beat by which to shimmy and undulate. Waiters often lock arms and break into traditional zorba dancing. And, if the night reaches a fever pitch, patrons may smash their plates and toss their napkins in the air. This raucous atmosphere has earned Taverna Opa the spotlight in a slew of media publications. But though revelry is paramount, Taverna Opa doesn’t shirk cuisine: chefs marinate fresh seafood and lamb in fresh herbs and roast them on a wood-fired grill, and bartenders pour Greek wines well-suited for the succulent meats or postmeal Trojan horse christenings.

Mr. Yum stands out in Little Havana, and not just because it's surrounded by Latin restaurants. The chefs at Mr. Yum embellish each plate with elegant drizzles of sauce and sprigs of herbs placed just so, elevating each meal to high art. Paper-thin salmon and beef tataki prime appetites for tempura-battered seafood and Thai dishes such as panang and massaman curries. In addition to slicing fresh sashimi, sushi chefs coil specialty rolls such as the sun-dried tomato roll and the alfalfa roll, whose tuna and salmon are topped with one stray sprout cowlick. Chandeliers cast a soft glow across the dining room, where an abstract red-heart motif decorates walls and upholstery, creating the vibe of a "mod NYC sushi parlor," according to Thrillist.
