JAGUAR SUN Downtown Jaguar Sun is probably our favorite place in Miami. Some may say itâs a cocktail bar, others, a restaurant with an awesome pasta selection.

Our favorite dishes include the Hokkaido Scallop, the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio with the most delish charred leek aioli, Agnolotti with blue crab, and the Spicy Rigatoni. Make sure to ask if there are any new dishes or off-menu items, sometimes theyâll have something to share with you.
