Miami Spice Deals Extended

So Miami Spice came and went, but a few restaurants are extending their ‘Miami Spice’ menu deals thru the month of October for lunch and dinner.

Red Ginger, Quality Meats, Redlander, Prime Fish, and Byblos have confirmed extended Miami Spice menu deals. While these aren’t official Miami Spice deals, they are all offering similar prix-fixe menus like Miami Spice.

Byblos has added some new dishes to the prix-fixe menu. Organic house labneh with fennel, honey, olive oil, and barbari bread; braised Colorado lamb leg with muhammara and Middle Eastern gremolata; seared cauliflower with tahini sauce, sesame, and coriander; and crispy qatayef, a traditional Arab dessert with ashta cream, Turkish delight, honey syrup, and sumac strawberry. The $39 dinner menu is offered Sunday through Wednesday.

At Quality Meats, you can choose from dishes such as house-cured slab bacon with peanut butter and jalapeño jelly; seared sea scallops with black garlic and celery leaves; honey-glazed baby-back ribs with honey-lime, fresh mint, and Thai basil; pan-roasted local snapper with arugula; and, of course, a classic center-cut filet mignon.

Miami Spice Preview : The Forge

We checked out The Forge in Miami Beach. The Forge has been open since the 1930s. Since then, the Forge has evolved into an Miami institution. The great thing about Miami Spice is that you can dine at restaurants you normally won’t dine at or can’t afford. The Forge’s Miami Spice menu is perfect for a date night and a great spot to try if it has been on your ‘to try’ list.

If you have been wanting to give the Forge a try, Miami Spice is the perfect time. Your significant other will thank you!

Check out all of our Miami Spice picks here.

A Miami Spice menu at the Forge is available for dinner. Below you can see what days it’s available.
