Ember Coast
A spread of fresh Florida stone crab and seafood

For the food-led

Stone crab, a Cuban ventanita, and a chef in your kitchen.

Miami's food runs from century-old icons to a starred tasting room. We build the trip around it.

Design This Trip

Joe's Stone Crab is the essential institution in season, while Stubborn Seed delivers chef Jeremy Ford's MICHELIN-starred tasting menu in South of Fifth, and a Little Havana morning on Calle Ocho anchors the trip in the city's Cuban soul with a cortadito at Versailles.

Anchor the trip around the neighborhoods

Time the week around a guided food walk of Little Havana, a Wynwood dinner at KYU, and a refined Amalfi evening at Le Sirenuse in Surfside. Source local Florida flavor: stone crab and Key lime, Cuban coffee and pastelitos, and fresh-off-the-boat mahi and snapper.

A private chef plus a guided neighborhood food morning is the ideal luxury-food spine, with the icons (Joe's, Carbone, Stubborn Seed) reserved around it.
