August and September are arguably the best months of the year for foodies in Miami. Locals and college students alike can enjoy some of the city’s finest dining at a discounted price as a part of the city’s innovative Miami Spice deal.
For over two decades, Miami Spice has offered three-course fixed price menus at Miami’s most sought-after restaurants. There is a $30/$35 brunch and a $45/$60 dinner through Sept. 30.
Here are some of the locations offering this limited-time deal:
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse
If sophistication is your idea of ringing in the new year, look no further than Fleming’s. Their $60 prix fix menu is available Sunday through Thursday and is the definition of a demure evening.
Start off with a salad with walnuts, tomatoes, dried cranberries and red onion dressed in a lemon vinaigrette for a light bite before the main course. A petite filet mignon cooked to your liking is sure to melt in your mouth. Finish the meal off with a chocolate gooey brownie for a decadent dessert crowned with honeycomb brittle, chocolate sauce and caramel.

The summer elote is coated with lime mayo, cotija and chile piquin for a spicy start to your meal. Then, order the carnitas if you’re looking for a unique spin on a classic dish. The refried beans, pickled carrots and salsa juevona marry together to create flavor in every bite. Finish off the meal with crispy churros fried to perfection for a sweet end to your experience at Mayami.

As delicious as sushi may be, it’s easy to drop a lot on a meal that might not even leave you feeling full. Now is the time to take advantage of Kissaki’s $45 Miami Spice menu, which offers a great deal for a large amount of food Sunday through Tuesday.
If you’re looking to start with a traditional sushi experience, order the four piece nigiri flight for a selection of the chef’s freshest fish. Then, opt for some cooked fish for your main course with the misco black cod served on a bed of white rice. For dessert, go for the warm peach cobbler soaked with hints of bourbon, cinnamon and Japanese vanilla ice cream.

The shrimp, grilled or fried, is a popular option for seafood lovers. For a lighter option, try the colorful chopped salad topped with cucumbers, carrots, black olives, tomatoes, eggs, beets, feta cheese and honey-roasted peanuts for some crunch.
