Gay restaurants and queer-friendly cafes can be found in Miami, especially in South Beach, where eating out is as natural for gay couples as anywhere else in the neighborhood. The central address for this is Lincoln Road, a car-free promenade over several blocks, which reaches almost to the beach with cafés, bars and restaurants. There you will find a wide range from simple breakfast restaurants to brunch spots to restaurants for a special evening. There are other eateries around Washington Avenue and Ocean Drive, many with outdoor seating and Miami's signature mix of Caribbean, Latin and American cuisine.
When it comes to food, however, you are not limited to a few addresses, because South Beach is open and diverse overall. In almost every restaurant in the neighborhood you feel welcome as a queer guest, whether it's a Cuban breakfast coffee, a tapas bar or seafood in the evening. Spread across the city, Wynwood with its street art and cafes and Little Havana for authentic Cuban cuisine are also worthwhile. If you want to eat close to the nightlife, it is best to stay around Lincoln Road, from where the bars are within walking distance. The following selection gives you an overview of where you can eat well and carefree.
