Miami is one of the largest cities in the United States and is the cultural and economic hub of South Florida. Miami's cuisine is hugely important to its culture and is as diverse as its people. Whether you are a native or looking to visit, in no particular order, here are six restaurants that will surely satisfy a variety of palates.

Up first at #1 is Villa Azur in the heart of Miami Beach. One of the most distinguishing features of the restaurant is the enchanted open-air courtyard which enables guests to dine and dance under the stars. Villa Azur strives to sculpt the perfect meal from start to finish. The menu is designed to be a delicate intermingling of avant garde Mediterranean fare and traditional authenticity.

Villa Azur's signature dishes derive from selecting only the freshest ingredients and flavor characteristics from the south of France, reinterpreted with an international twist. Each dish is carefully prepared with attention given to even the smallest details. There is also an in-house sommelier on hand to suggest the ideal custom wine pairing.

Next up at #5 is LoKal, the first restaurant in Miami-Dade County to use 100% clean, renewable energy sourced from wind and solar power. Found in the Coconut Grove neighborhood, the name LoKal stems from the German word for restaurant and meeting place.

Using Florida grass-fed beef and Floridian-raised clean proteins for their burgers, sandwiches and salads, LoKal purchases whole sides of beef and primal cuts of clean proteins and processes them in-house. Hand grinding their meats daily results in LoKal's distinctive signature flavor.
