Miami Restaurants

Northern America

Miami has a huge selection of restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets. In addition to a state sales tax of 7%, Miami’s restaurants charge a 2% tax for homeless people. These taxes are not included in the price shown on the menu, but will be added to the bill at the end. In some restaurants, the tip is also automatically included, but this is not generally the case. Usually you tip 15-20% for good service.

The following restaurants are divided into three categories:

Expensive (over $ 35)
Moderate ($ 20 to $ 35)
Inexpensive (up to $ 20)

It is a three-course menu for one person and a bottle of house wine or a comparable drink, without taxes, service fee or tip.
