Best Vegetarian Tasting Menus in Miami 2026

How to eat vegetarian at the top in Miami

There are two routes to a great vegetarian tasting in this city. The first is to book a kitchen that already cooks vegetable-first, where the meat-free menu is the point rather than an afterthought; Le Jardinier and Los Felix lead that group, with Ariete close behind. The second is to book a starred tasting house and ask the kitchen to build a vegetarian version, which the best of them do well with enough notice. The rule that matters is timing: flag the request when you reserve, not on arrival, so the kitchen can source and compose the courses properly.

The list opens with Le Jardinier, the most vegetable-forward room in town, then the two-star L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon, the Green Star kitchen at Los Felix, and Ariete, before closing with Stubborn Seed and Elcielo, both of which tailor a vegetarian tasting on request. Every name links to its full review. Prices and course counts are given where the house publishes them. For the wider city, start with the Miami dining guide.

The six rooms

Le Jardinier

One Michelin star · Design District · Alain Verzeroli

Vegetarian menu: dedicated vegetarian tasting on the regular menu · tasting or a la carte

Le Jardinier, the gardener in French, is the most vegetable-forward fine-dining room in Miami, run under longtime Joel Robuchon protege Alain Verzeroli in the Design District. The kitchen builds around the highest-quality seasonal vegetables and herbs, some from an on-site garden, and runs a dedicated vegetarian tasting menu alongside its standard formats, so no special arrangement is needed. Even the desserts lean plant-based, with house-made plant-based ice creams. Light, precise and quietly luxurious, it holds one Michelin star. This is the first call for a meat-free tasting in the city. The polished pick for a Design District anniversary.

L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon Miami

Two Michelin stars · Design District · Maison Robuchon

Vegetarian menu: built to order · 48 hours' notice required

L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon Miami is the highest-rated room on this list, holding two Michelin stars in the 2025 Florida Guide, and its cooking already leans on vegetable-forward seasonal menus. The kitchen will build a full vegetarian tasting, but it asks for 48 hours' notice so it can source and develop the courses rather than improvise on the night. Expect the Robuchon classics rendered without meat, the technique and finish as exacting as the standard menu. It is the seat for a vegetarian dinner that has to read as a true two-star occasion. Book ahead and flag the dietary request the moment you reserve. See more in the best French restaurants worldwide.

Los Felix

One Michelin star · Michelin Green Star · Coconut Grove

Vegetarian menu: produce-led tasting · vegetable courses to order

Los Felix in Coconut Grove holds both a Michelin star and a Michelin Green Star for sustainability, the rare double that marks it as a leader in produce-led cooking. The ancestral-Mexican menu is masa-driven, built on heirloom corn ground in an in-house molino, with squash, chiles and cacao rotating through the seasons, all paired with biodynamic wines. Much of the menu is already vegetable-centred, and the kitchen will steer a vegetarian guest through a produce-led tasting. It is the most sustainability-minded room in the city and a serious option for a vegetable-forward dinner. Pair it with the best Mexican restaurants worldwide.

Ariete

One Michelin star · Coconut Grove · Michael Beltran

Vegetarian menu: Versos Sencillos tasting $180 · vegetable-led menus available

Ariete is Michael Beltran's one-Michelin-star room in Coconut Grove, where his Versos Sencillos tasting runs $180 a head daily. Beltran's own health journey pushed the kitchen toward all-vegetable dinner menus, so a vegetarian guest is on solid ground here rather than asking for a favour. The cooking is Cuban-American at heart, which gives the vegetable dishes a depth and warmth the cooler French rooms do not aim for. It is the liveliest of the vegetable-forward picks, with a neighbourhood energy that suits a relaxed night. Request the vegetable-led tasting when you book. A good fit for a Coconut Grove first date.

Stubborn Seed

One Michelin star · South Beach · Jeremy Ford

Vegetarian menu: 6- or 9-course tasting adapted · produce from Ford's Farm

Stubborn Seed is Jeremy Ford's one-Michelin-star room in South Beach, built around a chef-driven tasting offered in 6- or 9-course formats. The farm-to-table approach gives it real flexibility for a vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free guest, with the kitchen adapting courses using produce from Ford's own farm when told ahead. This is the pick when you want a polished, contemporary tasting that bends to the table rather than a fixed vegetable menu. Choose the course count to match the evening, and give notice so the kitchen can plan the swaps. Reserve through the restaurant and flag the request at booking. See the best fine dining worldwide.

Elcielo Miami

One Michelin star · Downtown / Brickell · Juan Manuel Barrientos

Vegetarian menu: 18-course tasting, vegetarian version on request · $245–$289

Elcielo, from chef Juan Manuel Barrientos, is the only Colombian restaurant in Florida with a Michelin star, held every year since 2022, and its 18-course tasting is a sensory, theatrical journey rather than a straight progression. The price moves with the night, from about $245 on quieter days to $289 at the weekend, and the kitchen prepares vegetarian versions of the menu on request. It is the most experiential meal on the list, the one to choose when the format and the show matter as much as the plate. Book ahead and ask for the vegetarian menu when you reserve. A standout for a celebratory Miami anniversary.

Choosing the right room

Read the night first. For the truest meat-free meal with no negotiation, Le Jardinier's dedicated vegetarian tasting is the cleanest choice, and Los Felix is the pick when you want a Green Star kitchen and produce with a Mexican backbone. For the highest ceiling, the two-star L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon will tailor a vegetarian tasting that reads as a genuine occasion, provided you give it 48 hours. Ariete is the warm, lively option, Stubborn Seed the most flexible, and Elcielo the most theatrical. Across all of them the same rule applies: flag the request when you book, confirm the wine or non-alcoholic pairing and the final price, and expect to pay the standard tasting rate.

Frequently asked questions

Which Miami restaurants have a vegetarian tasting menu?

The most vegetable-forward fine-dining rooms in Miami are Le Jardinier in the Design District, which runs a dedicated vegetarian tasting menu, and Los Felix in Coconut Grove, a Michelin Green Star kitchen built on heirloom corn and produce. Ariete also runs vegetable-led menus, while the two-star L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon, Stubborn Seed and Elcielo build a vegetarian tasting on request. See the full Miami dining guide for the wider picture.

Does Miami have a fully vegetarian Michelin restaurant?

No Miami restaurant in the 2026 Michelin Guide is exclusively vegetarian, so the move is to choose a vegetable-forward kitchen and ask for the meat-free tasting. Le Jardinier comes closest, with a vegetable-forward concept and a dedicated vegetarian tasting menu, and Los Felix holds a Michelin Green Star for its produce-led, masa-driven cooking. The starred tasting houses such as L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon and Stubborn Seed will tailor a full vegetarian menu when you give the kitchen notice.

How do you request a vegetarian tasting menu in Miami?

Flag it when you book, not when you sit down. L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon asks for 48 hours' notice so the kitchen can source and build the courses, and Stubborn Seed adapts its 6- or 9-course tasting using produce from Ford's Farm when told ahead. Elcielo prepares vegetarian versions of its 18-course menu on request. Le Jardinier keeps a vegetarian tasting on the regular menu, so no special arrangement is needed there. Confirm any wine pairing and the final price at the same time.

How much does a vegetarian tasting menu cost in Miami?

It tracks the house tasting price. Ariete's Versos Sencillos tasting runs $180 per person, and Elcielo's 18-course menu is dynamically priced from about $245 on quieter nights to $289 on weekends, with vegetarian versions at the same rate. Stubborn Seed prices its 6- and 9-course formats separately, and the two-star L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon sits at the top of the range. A vegetarian menu is generally charged the same as the standard tasting rather than discounted.

Is a vegetarian tasting menu good for a special occasion in Miami?

Yes. The vegetable-forward rooms are some of the prettiest fine-dining plates in the city, which suits an anniversary or a date. Le Jardinier and L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon are the polished, romantic picks in the Design District, while Los Felix and Ariete bring a livelier Coconut Grove energy. Give the kitchen notice for a tailored menu, ask about the wine or non-alcoholic pairing, and you have a celebration meal that happens to be meat-free.
