Popular Local Cuisine

Churrasco

Churrasco is a staple of the dining scene in Miami, popular among locals and tourists. The steak dish originated in South America. It typically consists of perfectly grilled skirt steak marinated with citrus, garlic, and spices. It is often served with chimichurri sauce, a flavorful blend of parsley, garlic, vinegar, and olive oil. Brazilian churrascarias often serve the steak with cheese bread, farofa (toasted cassava flour), and caramelized bananas. The city's top steakhouses offer churrasco paired with tropical cocktails and South American wines. Waterfront dining spots offer churrasco with a unique Miami twist, pairing it with fresh seafood and vibrant tropical flavors. In the heart of Little Havana, places like Versailles and La Carreta serve a Cuban-inspired version of churrasco, along with black beans, Moros rice, sweet plantains, and Chimichurri Sauce.
