Tamarind, Miami

This award-winning restaurant is owned by two friends and chefs with years of experience: Vatch Bhumichitr and Day Longsomboon. The authentic recipes have withstood years of family critique by their respective families, so you can rest assured that this is Thai food at its best. The atmosphere is soothing and relaxed. The dishes are freshly prepared with local and imported ingredients, and are served in perfect portions. The innovative yet traditional menu is exotic but still familiar, and though that may sound like a contradiction, the results are fabulous. Try the the shrimp corn cakes with plum sauce or the curry puffs. Specialties like Tod Man Goong (shrimp cakes) and Ped Makam (roasted duck with tamarind sauce) are an absolute must. The sweet and spicy food is complemented by a nice wine list and beers from around the world. This restaurant is more than worth the visit - go for lunch or dinner and enjoy! -Mercedes de Marchena
