I brought along my roommates. This tour was perfect for them. First of all it was Amy’s birthday weekend, and what better way to celebrate than with a tour of good food and drinks? Foodie is also a huge art buff, as is Amy, so I knew they’d really appreciate coming on the tour with me. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the South Florida area and even for locals looking for something different to do on the weekend.
Grace took us to six different locations, giving us a full rundown on the story behind the restaurant everywhere we went.




Next up was Jimmy’z Kitchen and some more plantains, this time Puerto Rican style in the form of chicken mofungo (fried plantains mashed with garlic and olive oil, accompanied by shredded chicken).




We visited Fireman Derek’s to try his world famous key lime pie. I have to say, this was the first time I tried key lime pie and actually liked it. I’m not normally a fan, but this hit the spot.

After the tour was over, we headed back to SuViche. Before we left there earlier, I mentioned to Grace that I wanted to try their “Pisco-infused Gummies” so the owner invited us to come back. Not only did he have those gummies ready for us, but the bartender treated us to some crazy shot concoctions. Coconut, pineapple and habanero, hibiscus…
What a great day! Our favorites were by far Wynwood Kitchen and Bar and SuViche. The sweet plantains and that tuna causa were amazing, and I would go back to either one of those restaurants anytime.

If there is one thing you do in Miami, it’s got to be this tour! Seriously. Plus you have to meet Grace; she’s a one-of-a-kind and one of the coolest foodies I’ve met in Florida.
