If there\u2019s one thing Miami is going to do, it\u2019s give us endless opportunities to stuff our faces with incredible food. But while we\u2019d love to check out all the best dining options our city has to offer, it can be overwhelming. Thankfully, the reporters and editors at The New York Times spent the last 12 months scouting restaurants across the country for their annual The Restaurant List<\/a>, with one Little Havana spot taking center stage.<\/p>\n The Times shared that its team of 16 traveled from small-town Wisconsin to downtown Manhattan to curate their 50 favorite eateries. Unlike a traditional ranking, the restaurants aren\u2019t ordered from No. 1 to No. 50, and an establishment won\u2019t appear again if it made it onto a previous list.<\/p>\n Which Miami restaurant is among the 50 best in the nation?<\/p>\n Representing Miami and serving as one of just two Florida restaurants to make this year\u2019s list (the other being Safety Harbour\u2019s The Tides Market) is Tin Tin. Described as a more ambitious \u201cbig sister\u201d to the beloved Tinta y Caf\u00e9, the restaurant takes Latin-European fusion to a new level.<\/p>\n The NYT highlighted chefs and co-owners Sachi Statz and Victor Santos for their ambitious cooking that blends their shared Cuban heritage with French and Italian traditions. With standout dishes like malanga gnocchi cacio e pepe and a reimagined Cuban sandwich served as a wagyu beef carpaccio, the publication also specifically praised the snapper fillet under aerated potato pur\u00e9e and the yellowtail crudo with coconut leche de tigre \u201cthat looks like stained glass.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTin Tin\u2019s eye-catching food could hold its own at the velvet rope restaurants in neighborhoods like Brickell, Wynwood or South Beach,\u201d food reporter Brett Anderson writes. \u201cBut Tin Tin is separate from that scene, geographically and aesthetically.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019ll leave wondering why we aren\u2019t all eating ropa vieja-stuffed tortellini and jam\u00f3n serrano with pressed papaya. It\u2019s the kind of outstanding Latin-European bistro food you\u2019d expect to find exactly here, in Little Havana \u2014 but haven\u2019t, until now,\u201d Anderson continues.<\/p>\n Tin Tin is located at 2555 SW 8th St Ste 101 and open for dinner from Tuesday through Saturday (4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.), as well as Sunday brunch (11 a.m. to 4 p.m.). If you\u2019re looking for a deal, happy hour runs from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesdays through Saturdays.<\/p>\n
