LPM Restaurant & Bar: Escargot De Bourgogne
You don’t have to travel to France for exquisite escargot—you can pull up to Brickell Bay Drive’s neighborhood gem, LPM Restaurant & Bar, for a taste of classic French cuisine. The escargot is a must-order and comes with delicious, fresh-baked baguettes to dip, soaked in warm garlic butter and parsley. Paired with signature dishes like the warm prawns with olive oil and daurade au citron, you may forget you aren’t dining along the French Riviera. 1300 Brickell Bay Drive, Miami, lpmrestaurants.com
Kyu: Korean Fried Chicken
To Miamians’ delight, KYU recently reopened in its original Wynwood location with a refreshed look and feel—but you can still find its signature, melt-in-your-mouth Korean Fried Chicken on the menu. Somehow managing to be sweet and spicy with tender chicken that falls off the bone, the dish is enhanced by chili butter and braised spinach, leaving you craving for your next visit. 251 NW 25th St., Miami, kyurestaurants.com
