Food is a true pleasure. If you’re a true foodie then you know that finding the right restaurant is not an easy task. If you’re located in Miami, you know that there is a wide variety of places to eat, with a plethora of food cultures to choose from. If you’ve been in Miami for some time, you’ve probably heard of the Miami Spice Lunch.
What’s Miami Spice Lunch?
During the months of August and September in Miami, you can find a lot of places that are packed with guests. It’s these months that are the time of the so-called Miami Spice Lunch, where restaurants create special promotions. They offer three dishes from the menu at low prices and you can enjoy all sorts of delicacies, such as passion fruit cheesecake, watermelon salad, croquetas, steak frites, and even black truffle gnocchi! This event is organized by the Greater Miami Convention & Visitor Bureau (GMCVB). The event started in 2001 and the motivation behind it was to give movement to the slow summer and create something big within the Miami cuisine.
From August 1st to September 30th, restaurants in Miami will offer dishes at fixed prices. For a lunch/brunch, you can pay $28 and for dinner, you will pay $42. These prices include appetizers, entrée, and desserts. But the tax, tips, and libation are apart. Imagine you can go to the great restaurants in Miami and pay only these prices for a meal, choosing anything from croquetas, watermelon salad, and passion fruit cheesecake to black truffle gnocchi and steak frites!
Miami restaurants are waiting for this moment to improve their sales, so each year more and more restaurants are joining the event. This year, about 140 restaurants are participating so don’t hesitate to make your list and take advantage of the event during these two months.
