Miami

Since Michelin began awarding Florida stars in 2022, Miami has become the state's undisputed culinary capital — a lineup spanning French haute cuisine, Korean steakhouse theatrics, Nikkei counters and sustainability-driven milpa cooking.

Warm weather year-round and direct flights from every continent mean the city now competes with Las Vegas and New York for destination dining, and its restaurants book out just as fast.
