MIAMI — Inter Miami CF released a dining guide for soccer fans descending on the Magic City this summer as Miami prepares to host matches during the FIFA World Cup 2026, spotlighting restaurants spanning Little Havana to Miami Beach.
The club’s list of more than a dozen eateries leans heavily on the city’s Latin American roots. El Club de la Milanesa earns a nod for serving the crispy Argentine milanesa “famously favored by captain Leo Messi,” while Café La Trova at 971 SW 8th St. in Little Havana offers Cuban-inspired cuisine on Calle Ocho. Venezuelan arepas at Doggi’s Arepas and signature tacos at Coyo Taco round out the Latin fare.
Higher-end options include three Riviera Dining Group properties: MILA Restaurant, a Mediterranean and Asian fusion rooftop at 1636 Meridian Ave. in Miami Beach; Casa Neos, a waterfront dock-and-dine destination at 40 SW North River Dr. in Miami; and the Faena Hotel at 3201 Collins Ave. in Miami Beach, which holds a MICHELIN Guide recommendation.
James Beard Award-winning chef Michelle Bernstein also features prominently. Her Mercado MIA concept offers fans at Nu Stadium a market-style concession on the main concourse with curated grab-and-go items alongside classic stadium fare.
La Birra Bar, a two-time winner of the South Beach Wine & Food Festival’s Burger Bash, and health-focused Pura Vida Miami also made the list, along with Churromania, which pairs freshly fried churros with specialty hot dogs.
Thousands of international visitors are expected in Miami this summer as World Cup matches get underway at the city’s host venue.
