Savour
Miami is home to a full roster of restaurants that not only dish sensational food, but inspiring ambience as well. We fell hard for Branja, the first restaurant concept in the U.S. from Tom Aviv, the winner of MasterChef Israel. This spot is about elevated Middle Eastern-inspired cuisine. Aviv’s world travels and experiences inspire his dishes. You’ll swoon over the laid back 70s vibe and the Branzino will have you making another reservation ASAP.
