The Top 10 Restaurants in Wynwood, Miami
For Miami, Wynwood District is what Williamsburg is to New York or Silverlake is to Los Angeles, it’s hip and getting hipper. The once-dangerous neighbourhood is now Miami’s epicentre for restaurants, independent theatres, music venues and art galleries. Wynwood’s regeneration includes Wynwood Walls, the world’s largest permanent art exhibit, and a boom in local cuisine. Here are ten local restaurants not to miss in Wynwood.
The Wynwood Kitchen & Bar
The tapas-style cornerstone of the Wynwood District, Wynwood Kitchen & Bar is surrounded by graffiti walls by famous international street artists such as Shepard Fairey, Aiko and Invader. It is home to a gallery space, as well as a common place for Saturday night al fresco dining and live music. Culinary recommendations are the steamed Brussels sprouts with bacon, chicken skewers with chipotle aioli and scallion; and sautéed clams with sausage, celery, caramelised onions, aji panca broth and sweet potato fries. There is also a selection of wine and beer to complement anything on the menu.

Bakery, Pastry Shop, Vegan, Gluten-free, Vegetarian, American
For dessert, this kosher, vegan and gluten-free bakery in the Wynwood District offers coffee, tea, sandwiches, soup, cakes and pastries. With a compelling story and business start, Bunnie Cakes is the brainchild of Mariana Cortez, a mother whose son is allergic to dairy products. One year Cortez struggled to find a cake for his birthday, so she created her own vegan recipe and the rest is history. Bunnie Cakes is a one-of-a-kind establishment in Miami, which helped it in landing a spot on The Food Network’s TV show Cupcake Wars. On the menu, one can find an array of kosher, vegan and gluten free donuts, cupcakes, chia pudding, pizza rolls, empanadas and stuffed biscuit sandwiches.
