A Miami Beach restaurant and nine local bars were named among the best in the world by an international digital guide.<\/p>\n

50 Best Discovery, which is an extension of the popular guide for travelers The World\u2019s 50 Best, just released its 2026 latest roundup<\/a> of the best restaurants, bars, vineyards and hotels around the world. In the restaurant category, only Stubborn Seed in Miami Beach made the cut.<\/p>\n

Created in 2017 and led by chef Jeremy Ford, who is also the force behind Salt + Ash in the Florida Keys<\/a> and Terra in Aruba, Stubborn Seed earned a Michelin star in 2022 and has retained it ever since. Ford also opened a second Stubborn Seed at Resorts World Las Vegas in 2025.<\/p>\n

The guide praised Stubborn Seed\u2019s commitment to sustainability.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrounded in a sustainability-led ethos, local partnerships like Compost for Life and produce from chef Ford\u2019s Homestead-based farm<\/a> to inform a menu that looks to the future as much as it does to flavour,\u201d the guide says.<\/p>\n

\u201cFusing Asian and Latin influences, the a la carte and three-tier tasting menu delivers intricately composed plates. Dishes rotate every few weeks and can range from ginger- and citrus-cured Japanese yellowtail with tomato consomm\u00e9 and umami citrus granita to braised leek and Gruy\u00e8re raviolo finished with potato espuma and crispy smoked pork belly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The guide also praised Stubborn Seed\u2019s \u201cstellar\u201d cocktail program.<\/p>\n

Speaking of cocktails, nine area bars also made the list: Bar Kaiju at The Citadel in Miami; Caf\u00e9 La Trova in Little Havana; Champagne Bar at The Surf Club in Surfside; the vinyl listening bar Dante\u2019s HiFi in Wynwood; Sexy Fish in Brickell; Sweet Liberty, Swizzle Rum Bar & Drinkery and Broken Shaker in Miami Beach; and ViceVersa in Miami.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the Cuban-inspired Caf\u00e9 La Trova and the downtown hot spot ViceVersa were also named among the best bars<\/a> at the North America\u2019s 50 Best Bar<\/a> awards<\/p>\n

Four Miami-area hotels also made the list: 1 Hotel South Beach; Faena in Miami Beach; Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club in Surfside; and The Setai in Miami Beach.<\/p>\n

50Best Discovery considers itself a global guide, not a ranking. It highlights more than 3,500 restaurants, bars, hotels and vineyards around the world and is voted on by more than 3,000 independent experts.<\/p>\n
