Best Restaurants Open Sunday in Miami 2026

Miami's Michelin rooms trade on Sunday. Book Stubborn Seed's tasting, Cote's Butcher's Feast, or Carbone for a late one.

Why a Sunday list matters in Miami

Florida joined the Michelin guide in 2022, and Miami's stars split between South Beach, the Design District and Coral Gables. Unlike most cities, Miami treats Sunday as a strong service night because the season is built on weekend visitors. The pattern that closes rooms here is the summer slowdown rather than the day of the week, so a Sunday in season is one of the easier nights to land a serious table. The list below leans on the Michelin-starred rooms that keep Sunday hours, plus the Italian-American room that books hardest.

The order leads with the South Beach tasting room and the Design District stars, then closes with the South of Fifth Italian-American room that defines a Miami big night. Miami dines late, especially on the Beach, so a 7pm to 9pm Sunday booking is the norm. Bills here often add an automatic service charge, so check before tipping again. Hours are checked against each restaurant's published schedule, and every name links to its full review. For the rest of the week, start with the Miami dining guide.

The Sunday list

Stubborn Seed

Contemporary tasting · South Beach · $165–220 tasting

Sunday hours: Sunday, 6:00pm–10:00pm

Jeremy Ford, the Top Chef winner, runs Stubborn Seed in the South of Fifth pocket of South Beach, and it holds a Michelin star from the Florida guide's 2022 launch. The format is a tasting menu of precise, produce-led modern American cooking, around $165 to $220 a head, with a counter overlooking the kitchen. Sunday dinner runs six to ten. It is the Miami Sunday for a refined, multi-course night, and the chef's counter is the seat to request for the full show.

Le Jardinier

French · Design District · $90–150 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, 5:00pm–8:00pm

Le Jardinier is the Design District's Michelin-starred French room, a serene, garden-inspired space at the edge of the Miami Design District. Chef Alain Verzeroli's vegetable-forward French cooking leans on a daily-changing menu, for around $90 to $150 a head. Sunday service runs five to eight, the earliest close on this list, so book the early end of the evening. It is the Miami Sunday for an elegant, lighter dinner before the Beach gets loud, and the room stays calm even in season.

Cote Miami

Korean steakhouse · Design District · $100–160 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, 5:00pm–11:00pm

Cote pairs Korean barbecue with the trappings of a steakhouse, and the Miami outpost in the Design District holds a Michelin star, as its New York sibling does. The Butcher's Feast, a set run of marbled cuts grilled at the table, is the order, for around $100 to $160 a head, with the dry-aging program the calling card. Sunday dinner runs five to eleven, one of the latest here. It is the Miami Sunday for a high-energy, meat-forward night with the grills going at every table.

Mandolin Aegean Bistro

Greek & Turkish · Buena Vista · $50–80 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, 11:30am–2:00pm and 5:30pm–10:30pm

Mandolin sets its tables in the garden of a converted 1940s house in Buena Vista, near the Design District, an all-day taverna that feels like a Greek island courtyard. The village salad, the grilled whole fish and the Aegean meze are the order, for around $50 to $80 a head. Sunday runs lunch and dinner, with a midday break. It is the relaxed Sunday on this list, an easy garden table for a long lunch or an early dinner under the bougainvillea.

Carbone Miami

Italian-American · South Beach · $100–180 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, 5:30pm–11:00pm

Carbone is Major Food Group's Italian-American room on Collins Avenue in the South of Fifth district, the hardest reservation in town and a full theatre of tableside service. The spicy rigatoni vodka, the veal parmesan and the Caesar carved at the table are the order, for around $100 to $180 a head. It trades seven days, with Sunday dinner from half past five to eleven. It is the Miami Sunday for a loud, glamorous big night, and Sunday is one of the easier evenings to get in.

How to book a Sunday table in Miami

Miami runs on the season more than the day, so a Sunday in winter is busy and a Sunday in summer is calm. Carbone is the hardest table here, but Sunday is more gettable than a weekend night, so set a Resy alert, the move for a glamorous Miami first date. Stubborn Seed and Cote take Sunday bookings on Resy and hold same-week tables outside peak season, either a strong client dinner in Miami. Le Jardinier is the calm, early choice, and Mandolin is the relaxed garden walk-in, a good Miami team dinner for a sharing crowd. Check the bill before tipping, since many Miami rooms add an automatic service charge.

Frequently asked questions

Which Michelin restaurants are open on Sunday in Miami?

Three of the city's starred rooms keep Sunday service. Stubborn Seed, Jeremy Ford's South Beach tasting room, serves Sunday from six to ten. Cote Miami, the Design District Korean steakhouse, runs five to eleven. Le Jardinier, the Design District French room, opens five to eight on a Sunday. All three hold a Michelin star from the Florida guide, which makes a Sunday in Miami unusually strong for star dining.

Is Carbone Miami open on Sunday?

Yes. Carbone on Collins Avenue trades seven days, with Sunday dinner from half past five to eleven. It is the hardest reservation in Miami, but Sunday is one of the easier nights to land compared with a weekend. Major Food Group's Italian-American menu, led by the spicy rigatoni vodka and the veal parmesan, runs about $100 to $180 a head. Set a Resy alert and book the moment the window opens.

Where can I get a tasting menu on a Sunday in Miami?

Stubborn Seed is the pick. Jeremy Ford's South Beach room serves its Michelin-starred tasting menu, around $165 to $220 a head, on a Sunday from six to ten, and the chef's counter is the seat to request. For a different kind of set menu, Cote Miami runs its Butcher's Feast, a guided run of grilled cuts, on a Sunday in the Design District. Both take bookings on Resy.

Do Miami restaurants stay open on Sunday in the summer?

Mostly yes, though hours can shorten in the slow season. Miami's calendar runs on the winter season, so the rooms on this list keep Sunday service year-round, but a few trim their summer hours or add a closed day. Always confirm directly in July and August. The upside is that a summer Sunday is one of the easiest nights to book even the hardest tables, including Carbone and Stubborn Seed.

Is tipping expected at Miami restaurants on Sunday?

Often it is already added. Many Miami rooms, especially on South Beach, apply an automatic service charge of around eighteen to twenty percent, which appears on the bill. Check the itemised total before adding more, since paying twice is a common tourist mistake. If no service charge is listed, a standard US tip of eighteen to twenty percent applies. This holds on a Sunday as on any other night.
