People venture to far-off lands for many reasons, but an increasingly popular one is the destination’s food. Travelers want to seek out local flavors, unusual delicacies, rare ingredients, and bustling caf\u00e9s and markets. Sometimes, though, a foodie city is defined not just by its most iconic dishes, but the diversity of cuisines on offer, the abundance of Michelin stars, the quality of the food in every price bracket, and the availability of good, fresh produce. According to research by WalletHub<\/a>, there’s no city in the U.S. that marries all those factors better than Miami, Florida.<\/p>\n

The vibrant coastal city is known for its Latin American and Caribbean culinary influences<\/a> \u2014 think Cubanos and jerk chicken \u2014 but to see it in such terms is to barely scratch the surface. Miami has 13 Michelin-starred restaurants<\/a>, one of which, L’Atelier de Jo\u00ebl Robuchon Miami<\/a>, a modern take on classic French dining, has two stars. The other starred restaurants are representative of Miami’s cultural melting pot: exquisite Japanese sushi at Hiden<\/a>, flavorful Korean barbecue at Cote Miami<\/a>, innovative Mexican cuisine at Los F\u00e9lix<\/a>, and dramatic Columbian-inspired degustation at Elcielo Miami<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Famous chefs like Gordon Ramsay, Nobu Matsuhisa, and Thomas Keller also have Miami restaurants under their stewardship. And the popular\u00a0Stubborn Seed<\/a>\u00a0in Miami Beach is helmed by Jeremy Ford, winner of “Top Chef” Season 13. Never mind that some of the city’s best restaurants, like Rusty Pelican<\/a> and Amara at Paraiso<\/a>, pair their delicious food with stunning Atlantic Ocean views.<\/p>\n

What makes Miami the best foodie city in America?\"\"<\/p>\n

Gastronauts, or “foodies,” may be lured abroad by world-famous culinary destinations like Tsukiji in Tokyo, Japan’s “Food Town” and home of the legendary Tsukiji fish market<\/a>. Or perhaps they want to explore\u00a0the world’s best street food scenes<\/a>, be it in Bangkok or Mumbai or Mexico City. But WalletHub<\/a> was a little more forensic in its analysis of what defines a foodie destination.<\/p>\n

It evaluated more than 180 U.S. cities across nearly 30 categories, including cost of meals, online rankings of restaurants, and diversity and quality of eateries and produce stores. Miami\u00a0had the highest number of affordable restaurants with a ranking of 4.5 stars or more, and came second only to San Francisco in the Diversity, Accessibility & Quality rank.\u00a0This is evidenced not just by top-tier restaurants, but also\u00a0a booming food truck scene<\/a>, dishing out everything from tacos and burgers to grilled cheese sandwiches and Puerto Rican carne frita. Alternatively, you can dine in one of\u00a0Miami’s best steakhouses<\/a>\u00a0or sample local\u00a0dishes without breaking the bank, like arepas in Doggi’s Arepa Bar<\/a> on Biscayne Boulevard. There’s no shortage of highly-rated bakeries and coffee roasters either, and the bustling\u00a0La Boulangerie Boul’Mich<\/a> caf\u00e9 with its French-Latin creations and 4.7 stars on Google<\/a> is well worth a visit.<\/p>\n

It’s said that more than 100 languages<\/a> are spoken in Miami, which is reflected in the food landscape. Little Havana<\/a> is famously the home of Cuban cuisine, Espa\u00f1ola Way<\/a>\u00a0(pictured here) is Mediterranean in both aesthetic and flavor, while Coconut Grove<\/a>, a neighborhood on the cutting edge of Miami’s culinary innovation, hosts Los\u00a0F\u00e9lix and many other restaurants showcasing the punchy flavors of the Americas.<\/p>\n
