Every August and September, Miami transforms into one of the most exciting dining destinations in the country. This year, Miami Spice 2026 celebrates its 25th anniversary, bringing together some of Miami-Dade's most sought-after restaurants with specially curated prix-fixe menus designed to showcase the city's culinary talent at exceptional value.
For guests staying at The Plymouth, the best part is that many of the season's standout restaurants are located just minutes away, or, in one case, right inside the hotel itself. From elevated sushi and Coastal Italian cuisine to Mediterranean-inspired dishes and rooftop Mexican flavors, here's where we recommend dining during Miami Spice.
Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill — Right Here at The Plymouth
One of the biggest advantages of staying at The Plymouth is having one of Miami Beach's premier dining destinations just steps from your room.
This year's Miami Spice offerings at Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill include three different experiences to choose from. The $40 lunch menu features starters like Edamame, Crispy Cauliflower Tonkatsu, and Shishito Watermelon Sunomono, followed by sushi selections served with nigiri and entrées such as Chicken Karaage or Gyuniku Teppanyaki.
For dinner, guests can opt for a $45 menu featuring dishes like Crispy Squid with honey-sambal sauce, Cod Kimchi Pancake, Seven Beauties Nigiri, or Salmon Tobanyaki. Those looking for an elevated evening can indulge in the premium $60 dinner menu, which includes options such as Toro Tartare with Bluefin Tuna Belly and Caviar, Smoked Brisket with shiso-pesto pasta, and the chef's signature Seven Beauties Nigiri selection.
Whether you're joining us for lunch between beach outings or a memorable dinner after sunset, Blue Ribbon delivers one of the most versatile Miami Spice experiences in South Beach.
