DK Travel : Miami : Miami Beach and Key Biscayne

Nowher else on earth seems to be so happily addicted to glamour as Miami Beach. All the traits of modern life are here, pushed to the limit: symbols of speed, wealth, and status are vaunted everywhere you look in this body-conscious, sexually charged resort. Key Biscayne, the next big island to the south, provides a stark contast to the dynamism and self-consciousness of its neighbor; here you will find a tranquil and family-oriented atmosphere pervading parks, perfect beaches, and a scattering of museums.

A La Folie

This resteraunt, hidden on a dark corner on Espanola Way, is a secret of South Beach. It has a wonderfully delightful tucked away feeling. Lit mostly by lanterns at night, modern french music flows through the air, the wait-staff are all french (but nice and usually attentive), best of all the food is great! Crepes, baguettes, cheese plates, and an excellent wine menu all at very good prices. At night they open up a romantic side garden dining area--Magnafique!
Doraku

The decor may look tre' chic, but the staff is warm and friendly and, more importantly, the food is delish! The sushi may be a little pricey, but the ambiance is dazzling. For a special deal go Friday early evening for sushi happy-hour. All-you-can-eat sushi, spring rolls, edamame, watermellon and other suprises that change weekly, plus two drinks all for $10!
Nobu

Very chic and a fab celeb and people watching restaurant. Japanese cuisine at its best with a few twists.

Amazing sushi and tempura and an absolute must is the martini's.
