Emeril's Miami Beach
A sophisticated restaurant specialising in Creole cuisine, Emeril's Miami Beach will not only win you over in the gourmand department but the elegant décor and luxurious design will leave a lasting impression. The chic dining room is bathed in natural lighting, which compliments the clean lines and soft beiges and whites that are used throughout. Juxtaposing this is blood red velvet seating at the eclectic glass framed bar and wraparound velvet booths in the dining room, ideal for dinner with friends or a family brunch. Emeril's signature dishes include the New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp and the Niman Ranch Double-Cut Pork Chop with Tamarind Glaze. For desert the indulgent Banana Cream Pie with Caramel and Chocolate Shavings is a winner. Open daily for lunch and dinner, reservations recommended.
