These are our favorite places to eat in Downtown.
There is no neighborhood that better embodies Miami’s ridiculous extremes than Downtown.
Here, in just a 10-minute walk, you’ll encounter abandoned storefronts that look a little post-apocalyptic alongside luxury apartments your favorite celebrity couldn’t even afford—all while dodging squinting club kids wandering out of Space at 9am, looking for breakfast. Downtown’s restaurants are every bit as wide-ranging, with dining rooms full of people who might actually say something like, “Well, I just had caviar last night,” mere blocks away from cash-only cafeterias with struggling AC. This guide spans that entire spectrum—and includes some of the very best restaurants in Miami.
Motek Cafe
Perfect For: BYOB, Casual Dinners or Walk-Ins
Motek is an Israeli restaurant buried inside a huge building full of diamond shops, and getting here will make you feel like a considerably less stressed-out version of Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems. There are some very tasty things at the casual restaurant, especially sandwiches. We really like their crispy chicken schnitzel sandwich and the arayes burger, handheld beef-stuffed pitas that come with a side of crispy fries. The indoor restaurant is also BYOB with no corkage fee.
