In Miami and South Florida, we have our pick of some of the best cuisine around. And lucky for us, many of the restaurants take advantage of the fresh, locally-sourced ingredients to create impeccable farm-to-table eats. Here’s a look at some of our favorite places where they incorporate farm-to-table service at its best from Miami and beyond South Florida:

MICHAEL’S GENUINE

Miami-based acclaimed Chef Michael Schwartz has always been one of the most avid proponents of using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients in his decadent plates. His first restaurant, Michael’s Genuine, has remained one of the most timeless restaurants in the city throughout the years, boasting plates that incorporate seasonal ingredients like the warm fennel and radish salad and desserts the highlight ingredients like mangoes, peaches and more depending on the time of the year. His other restaurants, Fi’lia and Harry’s Pizzeria maintain the same philosophy as they create seasonal menus highlighting some of Miami’s best fruits and vegetables throughout the year.
