Five Key Biscayne restaurants are serving three-course prix-fixe menus as part of Miami Spice's milestone 25th edition, which began Aug. 1 and runs through Sept. 30, giving island diners a chance to eat at neighborhood spots for as little as $40 per person.
Novecento Key Biscayne, at 260 Crandon Blvd., is back for its 17th consecutive Miami Spice season. The Argentine-inspired restaurant is offering brunch and lunch at $40 and dinner at $50. La Boulangerie Boul'Mich, Paralia, Luma and Rusty Pelican round out the island's lineup.
Paralia and Luma, both inside The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne at 455 Grand Bay Drive, are making their Miami Spice debut after the resort reopened Dec. 8, 2025, following renovations. Paralia draws on Aegean coastal cooking with Greek and Turkish influences; Luma serves Italian oceanfront fare.
Rusty Pelican, the waterfront institution at 3201 Rickenbacker Causeway open since 1972, is pricing brunch at $40 on weekends, lunch at $40 Monday through Friday and dinner at $65 Sunday through Thursday. Its Miami Spice dinner menu features Florida Red Snapper "a la Plancha" and a Key Biscayne Crème Brûlée with Florida Key lime curd.
The program, run by the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, launched in 2002 with 56 restaurants. This year more than 300 are participating, according to Community Newspapers. A record 387 joined last year.
New this season is Miami Spice Reserve, a premium tier with menus starting at $95 for restaurants whose everyday prices run higher. No Key Biscayne or Coconut Grove restaurant has been confirmed as a Reserve participant.
Coconut Grove sends 21 restaurants into the program, including Ariete, Glass & Vine, Jaguar, Amal Miami, Bayshore Club and Mayfair Grill. As we reported Aug. 4, Grand Public Kitchen & Bar and Da Angelino at CocoWalk are making their Miami Spice debuts this year.
GMCVB president and CEO David Whitaker said Aug. 6 that the program began as an economic development push to support restaurants during the slower summer months and has become a signature culinary event for the region.
Camillus House, the South Florida nonprofit that provides meals and shelter to people experiencing homelessness, is this season's official beneficiary. Participating restaurants can display QR codes on menus so diners can donate directly.
Miami Spice runs through Wednesday, Sept. 30. Diners can search participating restaurants by neighborhood at miamispice.com.
