Description:
SOUTH BEACH. Dark woods, brick walls, the glint of mirrors and rich, warm colors soothe diners at well-received Talula. The brainchild of Andrea Curto-Randazzo and Frank Randazzo, married chefs who have gained much recognition individually and together, the restaurant benefits from perfect ingredients and careful attention to detail. This quality is seen in grilled foie gras with caramelized mission figs, black grouper with preserved lemons and thyme, barbecued spiced duck breast, and yellowtail snapper with sweet potato-wild mushroom risotto. Desserts also benefit from the chefs' culinary expertise, and a lovely garden patio is sublime when the weather's mild. |

Description:
SOUTH BEACH. This casually chic lunchtime favorite has numerous local fans, including Janet Reno and other local politicians and business people. Ideal for sealing a business deal, this sophisticated restaurant has a retro appeal and is full of quirky touches – for example, hard-boiled eggs are provided as complimentary snacks. The thin-crust pizzas are extremely popular, as is the signature meatloaf. Mussels in ginger-garlic sauce are a more upscale option. A great wine list and a subdued, off-the-beaten-track location makes this one worth seeking out for a quiet yet satisfying meal. Reservations recommended. |

Description:
SOUTH BEACH. This outdoor cafe doesn't draw quite as large a crowd as News Cafe, which makes it a better choice for business meals or for those who would rather converse than people-watch. The comfortable outdoor seating area still affords a bustling view and is surrounded by lush greenery. In the afternoon and late evening, regulars come in for creamy frozen coffee concoctions in a variety of tasty flavors. The rich frozen mocha is a top-seller. The rotating selection of Italian-style mini-pastries makes the perfect accompaniment. There is a nice lunch menu as well. No reservations. |

In addition, Sunday brunch is an extensive, spectacular event. |

Description:
SOUTH BEACH. Cool, color-drenched SushiSamba dromo has shed its NYC roots and made the transition to sunny South Beach quite well. A hit with the stylish set, the undeniably chic eatery gets a rhythmic kick with high-energy Brazilian tunes. The food is a seductive mix of Peruvian, Japanese and Brazilian dishes: sushi, churrasco, seviches, tiraditos and anticuchos. A successful fusion is evident in creations like the Green Envy Roll, which joins a wasabi pea crust with tuna, salmon, asparagus and aji amarillo-key lime mayo. Wash it all down with a well-made caipirinha. Or perhaps some sake. |

Description:
SOUTH BEACH. This cafe features a colorful, whimsical interior, but the outdoor tables are considered the place to be. A concrete canopy shields the sun, assisted by colorful umbrellas at each table, creating an appealing courtyard setting that is shady enough to temper the heat. The original Balans was located in London's Soho, and the hip, cosmopolitan vibe is evident at the Miami Beach outpost. Area executives and moguls often have lunch here, enjoying light favorites such as Thai salad with an excellent homemade peanut dressing or creamy sweet potato soufflé with leeks and garlic. A light entree is a wise choice, as it leaves more room for dessert – a primary attraction here. Try the white chocolate cheesecake or the apple tart with sour cream ice cream. |

Description:
SOUTH BEACH. Celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse works his signature high-energy, high-profile magic at this Miami outpost. The pale interior offers intermittent points of color, a touch of visual spice not unlike the menu's punches of andouille and hot peppers. Regulars rave about the double-cut pork chop with tamarind glaze, but you'll also adore quail stuffed with oyster dressing, a grilled filet, roasted veal chop or Creole bouillabaisse. Desserts are a rich, satisfying excursion into the likes of bread pudding with whiskey sauce and banana cream pie with caramel sauce. Remember to make reservations well in advance. |
