After releasing an album that doubles as a love letter to her city, the singer maps out her favorite hometown restaurants.
Less"I love this place so much I shout it out during 'Dream-Girls'! It’s definitely my favorite sushi place in Miami and maybe ever. Ask them to recommend their best dishes and prepare to be happy. This was also right next to the studio where we made C, XOXO, so it was a good celebratory indulgence."
"Pura Vida is healthy and delicious. We ordered it every day while making C, XOXO. I get the omelette, the Post-Workout smoothie, or the fruit smoothies. Their overnight oats are also so yummy."
"Mister 01 has my favorite pizza. I love their crispy thin crust. I know it sounds daring, but try their coffee pizza! It’s delicious."
"Cote Miami is perfect for a birthday dinner. It’s the best Miami twist on Korean barbecue. They have great cocktails, and it's in the Miami design district, so it feels like a fancy night out. It’s the best meat I’ve ever had, and I’ve definitely drunk-texted people after their lemon drop shots."
"Miami does Peruvian very well, and this spot is probably my go-to. I love the ceviche here and the lomo saltado! This is a [regular] for me and my family. It’s a good night out, but not too fancy."
"Pinecrest Bakery is a Miami institution for a late night pastelito or cafe con leche. At 3am, after the party is over, you can get some Cuban comfort food. It’s open 24 hours a day and is lifesaving after a night out when you’re starving."
"I’m Mexican, and I like this spot—that says a lot. I’m picky with Mexican food in Miami, but this Oaxacan place is truly creative and delicious. Plus: it’s super cozy and in Coconut Grove, which is an amazing walking area."
"Pollo Tropical is a Miami staple. I’ve eaten it for at least a decade. It’s fast-casual Cuban comfort food. I always get the Tropichop with rice, beans, plantains, and chicken."
