The rooftop above Amal is the “it” place to imbibe over stellar sunset drinks accompanied by some light bites. There’s truly no bad seat in the house when it comes to unmatched views of both Coconut Grove and Biscayne Bay.
Outdoor dining doesn’t get better than Bayshore Club, an open-air restaurant situated directly on the water in an area known as Dinner Key. The seafood centric spot boasts a large circular bar, fire pits, cabanas, turf and sandy areas perfect for chilling with the crew.
Order the New York-inspired bagel towers underneath the colorful umbrellas of Sadelle’s patio in the Coconut Grove location—the ultimate New York-turned-Miami brunch experience.
While The Key Club happens to have a lavish indoor dining room where power players nosh on American classics, the outdoor seating is a destination on its own in the heart of CocoWalk. The indoor-outdoor concept extends the bright color palette of the main dining room to the terrace as the sunlight shines in.
This tiny French bistro doesn’t exactly have an outdoor seating area, but it does leave its front doors slung wide open as European brasseries tend to do. Dine here for a charming evening in what feels like France.
