I’m definitely more of the health conscious one out of the both of us, especially when it comes to food (Nico’s a chef, so he has to love it all) and so I wanted to share a healthy South Beach spot for acai bowls, smoothies, and healthy lunches. The interior is done up with a soops cute beach house vibe. The food is spectacular and great if you’re looking for something healthy.

Here is another healthy favorite of ours. Super quaint, unexpected, and most importantly healing… that’s Under The Mango Tree, a nice healthy shade to enlighten your spirit right before or after our wedding festivities. We highly recommend it!

Cortadito is a super cute and cozy latin coffee shop and bakery located on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach and offers some of the best cuban pastries we’ve ever had. We really enjoy cuban food and have bonded over many pastelitos over the past 3 years and we both agree this spot is in the top 3.

27 Restaurant & Bar is located in a cozy historic house adjacent to the courtyard of the hip hotel, Freehand Miami. You literally feel right at home. It has super cool vibes and is a full service restaurant and bar. It presents class, style, and a killer menu. This is a beloved favorite of ours for date nights.

Fun Fact: Nico’s favorite dish is fried chicken and so of course we had to share Yardbird with you all. It has some of the best fried chicken in Miami. We actually made a stop here for dinner, right after we looked at venues and this is where we decided on the EDITION as our reception venue. Also, great spot for brunch!

If you are a local Miamian, then I’m sure you are very familiar with the famous Garcia’s Seafood Grille and if you’ve never been, you must go! This place is where we had some of our many lunch dates early on in our relationship. Nico could literally eat here everyday if he could. So it’s always an option.
