MC Kitchen

Dinner at the new Design District restaurant should include one of the terrific house-made pastas, such as dainty purses of roasted-pear and cheese fiocchi. Salted chocolate and roasted hazelnut pudding makes a lovely ending. A cocktail menu is still in the works, but wine and beer lists are extensive.

Chocolate Fashion

The South Miami outpost of the French bakery and café is warm and welcoming, with a dazzling array of treats, including the signature chocolate-and-raspberry layer cake. Savory dishes are also compelling; we are partial to the tomato-and-feta quiche.

Soya E Pomodoro

The charming Italian restaurant in the arcade of an old building is all the more romantic when the weather cools. Recently, we enjoyed cavatelli with zucchini and bacon in a creamy saffron sauce, along with a striking salad of fennel, orange and Pecorino cheese.
