Our client, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, has announced the highly-anticipated return of Miami Spice Restaurant Months. Food lovers are invited to experience a taste of the destination’s dynamic culinary scene and enjoy prix fixe, three-course meals for $30 or $35 for lunch/brunch and the option of $45 or $60 for dinner. This year’s program, which runs from 01 August to 30 September, is sponsored by Woodford Reserve.
On the heels of several culinary accolades in Greater Miami and Miami Beach, Miami Spice participants include Michelin-designated restaurants and feature options from more than 20 neighbourhoods and cuisine types. New this year, select restaurants are offering Signature Dining Experiences that are enhanced and deliver beyond the traditional three-course menus. If hosting a large gathering for friends and family, Bill Hansen Catering is offering discounted pricing for group events at a private residence or venue of selection. As part of this program, a team of expert chefs will come to your home to prepare a local farm-to-fork type menu.
“Year after year, Greater Miami and Miami Beach continues to cement itself as a culinary epicentre with national recognition, award-winning restaurants and a diverse selection of international and local cuisine,” said David Whitaker, President & CEO of the GMCVB. “During Miami Spice Restaurant Months, locals and visitors can indulge, savour and experience a collection that has placed our destination on the map.”
