After its first year successful inaugural run, Key Biscayne’s Taste Paradise is back and now for the full month of October with four new restaurants that have opened in the past year. Special prix fixe menus at 18 restaurants will be offered for breakfast, lunch and dinner in either the casual or fine dining categories from October 1-31, 2016. Plus, other “firsts” include special “canine treats” for our four-legged friends at participating restaurants and what’s billed as a “Cuban extravaganza” at Boater’s Grill in Bill Baggs Park.
Prices for casual: breakfast $10, lunch $15, dinner $25; fine dining: lunch $20, dinner $35. Organizers say the ultimate goal is to draw diners from Key Biscayne and from the Greater Miami Area to explore the Key’s gastronomic offerings.
The four new restaurants that opened on the island since the inaugural Taste Paradise that will be participating in this year’s Taste Paradise include: Forks (Mediterranean & International cuisine), Le Macaron Key Biscayne (French pastries), Pita Pockets (Mediterranean made healthy, fresh, and fast), and Stefano’s Lounge (“The Rebirth of Cool”).
The full list of participating restaurants includes: Archie’s Bistro; Boater’s Grill; Cantina Beach, The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne; Costa Med; Fairways on the Key (inside Crandon Park Golf Course); Forks; Francesco at the Towers; The Golden Hog; Kazumi; Le Macaron Key Biscayne; Novecento Key Biscayne; Patagonia Nahuen; Pita Pockets; Puntino Key Biscayne; Stefano’s Lounge; Tutto Pizza & Pasta; Whiskey Joe’s Miami.
There will be a number of special events this year, including the 2nd Annual Cuban Extravaganza at Boater’s Grill in Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park on Thursday, October 27th. The popular waterfront event includes live music, roast pork dinner and other surprises for $15. RSVP required by calling (305) 361-0080.
A new pet component has been added to Taste Paradise this year to commemorate the opening of Key Biscayne’s new dog park scheduled to coincide with the Village’s 25th anniversary of incorporation on September 25th. “Canine Treats,” compliments of Taste Paradise’s silver sponsor Brigitte de Langeron of MiamiWaterfront.com will be given to all four-legged diners at participating Taste Paradise restaurants, along with a variety of goodies provided by Animal Crackers and KB Dog Park.
