Winter doesn’t necessarily mean cold weather, particularly in South Florida. But winter in cities like Miami and Fort Lauderdale does mean cooler and drier days, making for the perfect time to enjoy an alfresco dining experience. But in cities with a plethora of restaurants to choose from, how do you choose?
We’re here to help.

Located in Downtown Miami, this restaurant is the city’s latest culinary destination from Michelin-starred chefs Carolina Sanchez and Iñaki Murua. Featuring a verdant courtyard, Mediterranean-inspired design and Latin charm, MOMENTO offers an inviting outdoor ambiance to savor Ecuadorian- and Spanish-inspired dishes created in a state-of-the-art wood oven. Signature dishes include Amazonian tiradito and Basque-style turbot.

Spend your Miami evening on a rooftop at El Cielo at Casa Vigil, a newly opened speakeasy where Argentinian-inspired mixology and immersive art come together for a mystical escape beneath the stars. The bar, situated above El Cielo, serves craft cocktails and shareable Argentinian dishes. Be sure to try the coconut-infused Yemaya or fiery Lucifer while enjoying house beats and Renaissance-inspired décor.

Coming this December to Fort Lauderdale, Sotogrande brings Southern Spanish and Eastern Mediterranean flavors to the city’s Pier Sixty-Six. Featuring shareable plates and authentic spices, this restaurant offers outdoor seating to transport guests to a sun-kissed seaside village of the Mediterranean.

The hotel’s buildings are only two stories tall and also house a lobby, lounge, restaurant and event space. Tucked into a corner of the grounds sits a circular outdoor pool.
