Miami’s Restaurants Keep Getting Better

Miami is so full of dining options; some of the best chefs in the world are now living here, and they are delighting us with their culinary art. Restaurants in Miami keep getting better and better every day. On this occasion, we are going to talk about restaurants located in SLS Brickell, an oasis of fresh flavors in one of the hottest spots in town.

   

James Beard Award-Winning chef Michael Schwartz brings us Fi’lia, a modern piece of Italy right in Miami. A fresh perspective of Italian cuisine right in the Caribbean is an amazing luxury, and everyone in Miami will be talking about it in no time. Fi’lia introduces artisanal bread and pasta to satisfy even the most sophisticated palates. If you want to have an unbelievable breakfast, order the Roasted Mushroom Fritatta: caramelized onions, goat cheese, herbs and toasted ciabatta (Italian white bread). If you rather have lunch, we strongly recommend you to order their famous Beef Carpaccio (sunchoke, green onion, pecorino, mustard vinaigrette) next to their Pistachio Pesto (house made ricotta, charred onion, and pecorino). We guarantee you’ll come back. 

Another James Beard Award-Winning chef, José Andrés, brings us his fabulous concepts and unique perspective of seafood. At Bazaar Mar, you can enjoy all the classics of the ocean like ceviches, tiraditos, seaweeds, crab, lobster and a variety of fish, always emphasizing in Caribbean species. José Andrés always accompanies his delicious dishes with his collection of wines from all over the world to create the perfect mood. If you want to brunch like a king, order a Marinero for you and your companions, and you will enjoy crudos, ceviches, tiraditos and caviar, all next to refreshing Möet & Chandon Brut champagne. For dinner, you should definitely try the “Croquetas de Bacalao” (Cod Croquettes) with José’s Asian Taco (Ibérico ham, cured hamachi, osetra caviar, Korean seaweed and ginger).  Taste the ocean in the most unique way with José Andrés’ cuisine.  

Miami is raising the bar for America’s restaurants, and has now become a center for the culinary arts, another great reason to live in this beautiful city. And now, with Miami Riches, your dreams of moving here can become true!

Why is a broker important when investing?

South Florida is a region with lots of real estate agents. Since the real estate market is one of the safest markets, people are always looking to invest in it, especially in South Florida. That’s why the real estate market in South Florida, especially in Miami, continues to grow every day. Nowadays, you can go online and look for property listings according to the region you’re looking to invest in. However, this doesn’t mean that it’s an easy business. We deeply support the idea that the help of a broker is important when you want to invest in real estate, regardless of how useful the internet can be when searching for properties. Here’s why you should hire a professional to help you keep your money safe!

1)     Even though investors have access to online property listings, a broker has extra knowledge that will help the client choose the best deals according to his/her needs.

2)     A broker is that one person that will make the investor’s life a lot easier, especially if you’re new in the business. Sometimes, an investor can encounter difficulties –procedures, laws, steps to follow, etc., in the transaction (since it’s a big one), and a broker will make sure to solve them all, favoring the investor, of course.

3)     Brokers know every single detail about the neighborhoods they work in. They will help you find the one that best fits your lifestyle. Besides, they can identify the best deals by comparing them to other properties with the same value.

4)     A broker is constantly investigating the real estate market’s condition. This is essential to know how to proceed when selling, buying, or renting a property. This information is also helpful for them to give you a professional opinion on how your investment will behave in the future.

5)     All brokers have vast experience in negotiations. They know the best moves to benefit their clients. A broker is not only a messenger, but a business man capable of persuading the second party to accept the offered deal.
