Restaurants in the USA

Steve's Pizza

So many pizza stores in South Beach, but ask a Miami Beach local where to get the best pizza and they'll tell you about Steve's. This is New York–style pizza, handmade with care and good ingredients. New stores of Steve's are opening elsewhere in Miami, all in non-tourist areas.

Opening hours: 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 a.m.

Cattleman's Steakhouse

This place is 20 miles east of the city, but local people would probably drive 200 miles to eat here. The food is good, and the scenery is even better. Come early and wander around the grounds of Indian Cliffs Ranch, where you'll see everything from rabbits to buffalo, and then catch the sunset either before or after your meal.

Opening hours: 5:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m.

Absolute Baking & Café

The screen door is always swinging open at this town hot spot with giant breakfasts. Try the green chili on eggs – it's made from scratch, as are the organic breads. And lunch includes salads, big sandwiches and local grass-fed beef burgers. Don't miss a square of soft, fresh carrot cake.

Opening hours: 7:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.

Walt's Wharf

Everybody's favorite for fresh fish (some drive in from LA), Walt's packs them in on weekends. You can't order your dinner(though they're accepted for lunch), but it's worth the wait for the seafood and steaks in the many-windowed  ground floor or upstairs in captain's chairs.

Opening hours: 11:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
