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. Weâd like to think of it as a combination of both. And thereâs something about the vibe that makes you want to chat with the person next to you. 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.

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy donuts đŠ The best donuts in Miami include simple classics, over-the-top creations and even decadent savory treats. 1. The Salty Donut These donut wizards churn out fluffy, sweet creations that are stuffed, injected and topped with wonderfulness ranging from creamy guava to crispy bacon. The nationwide expansion from its original Wynwood location means the long lines have largely been eliminated (good news for those who need a sweet fix and quick). What to choose? The guava and cheese is uniquely Miami, ideally washed down with a Cinnamon Cereal Milk Latte. (The Salty has a stellar coffee program, too.) 2. Maxâd Out Donuts Pastry chef Max Santiago, self-proclaimed âMiami Donut King,â helped found The Salty before leaving in 2017 to start his Fort Lauderdale-based Batch the Cookie Company. In 2022, he started making some of Miamiâs best donuts from a strip mall spot in North Miami Beach. The 52 flavors at Max'd Out range from the classics to the wildly creative. Take the OG Original Glazed, a 24-hour raised brioche dough bathed in buttermilk-vanilla-bean glaze. We're partial to the Cafe Con Leche: another brioche variation topped with cinnamon-espresso dust, coffee glaze and a cream cheese spiral. 14871 Biscayne Blvd, North Miami Beach 3. Mojo Donuts & Fried Chicken Guy Fieri gave it two flaming thumbs up on his ode to calories, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, and for good reason. Everything your inner child ever wanted to stuff on (and in) a donut gets stuffed on and in donuts here, from Fruity Pebbles to flan. Plus, fried chicken! Come hungry, leave semi-conscious.
