Explore 19 Grove Eateries with Special Three-Course Menus this August and September.
Intrigued by Coconut Grove’s growing fine dining scene but turned off by prices that may resemble a mortgage payment? Then check out any of the 19 Grove restaurants participating in this year’s Miami Spice discount program organized by the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Throughout August and September three-course meal options are priced between $30 and $35 for lunch or brunch, and between $45 and $60 for dinner. Under the Miami Spice promotion, diners can choose from a limited, pre-set menu of appetizers, main courses, and desserts.
Participating Grove restaurants include the Michelin-starred Ariete which features such Miami Spice menu choices as venison tartar, Scottish sea trout and duck confit. At the Mediterranean-themed bistro Eva, pre-set menu options include tuna ceviche, beef and lamb kabab, and manjari tahini mousse for dessert. A list and interactive map of participating Coconut Grove restaurants can be found here.
Where we’ll be
Glued to the Olympics and cheering local Olympian sailor Sarah Newberry Moore who will compete for the US in mixed multihull (Nacra 17) races starting Saturday 6 AM. How? U.S. Sailing has live tracking tools online that let you see every boat’s position, speed, course, and rank. Go Sarah!
Coral Reef Yacht Club’s own Romain Bonnaud will be coaching the Turkish sailing team. So keep a weather eye out for his athletes.
Casual bike rides weren’t invented by the informal Grove Activities Group, but they may have been perfected by them. Each week GAG explores the Grove along the Commodore Trail and beyond. Each ride starts at The Barnacle’s entrance. Fridays at 6 PM, Saturdays at 10 AM. Angy Stewart—always full of positive energy—leads the GAG. Just bring your bike and a smile! (Insider tip: Hang out after the ride with new friends.)
Miami Spice Safari. This will be the year! Resolve to visit each of the 16 Grove restaurants participating in Miami Spice. It’ll take some planning, perseverance and patience, but with the inspiration of an Olympian, we too can aspire to greatness…or at least some excellent meals.
