Discover these wonderful dining spots that bring the word “sumptuous” to a whole new level:

BALEENKitchen
17315 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach, FL

With a name inspired by the nomadic Baleen whale, BALEENKitchen brings stellar international casual dining to The Portofino Hotel & Marina. Enjoy the ocean views and have a breakfast of their superb wild mushroom omelette with a side of bacon al fresco on the patio overlooking the marina and fire pits. Or nibble on the parmesan truffle fries and an excellent flatbread pizza by the pool and beach lounge.

Sit down to an excellent meal that starts off with the charcuterie sampler or their ahi tuna tacos, then move on to one of the perennial favorites on the acclaimed menu, the Surf and Turf.

Of course, not to be missed are their seafood delicacies: oysters, mahi-mahi, calamari, seafood cioppino, Key West shrimp, and lobster sliders. Give their more exotic Caribbean conch chowder a try as well.

For dessert, their signature Key lime pie gets a definite thumbs-up, while the bread pudding nails it with a healthy dose of butterscotch!

BALEEN Kitchen also creates premium handcrafted drinks to perfectly complement your meal.

Currently, only outdoor dining, take out, or room service with a limited menu is available.

AQ by Il Mulino

Maximize your visit to Sunny Isles Beach and stop by Acqualina by II Mulino, a Mediterranean restaurant that provides al fresco dining. If you’re on a special diet, dig into their vegetarian-friendly appetizers or try their gluten-free Cavatelli pasta and Spaghetti al Pomodoro for dinner.

Start your morning with Acqualina’s Bagel al Salmone – smoked Atlantic salmon, cream cheese, capers, and red onions. Or choose between Bacon Classico and Al Salmone eggs Benedict, both of which are served with Hollandaise sauce, roasted potatoes, and grilled asparagus.

Enjoy a gorgeous seaside experience with Acqualina’s two-course special lunch menu. Try their Mediterranean Grilled Octopus with frisée and oranges or Calamari Fritti with a spicy marinara sauce for the first course.
