The reservation platform Resy, one of the most influential in the American dining scene, has just released its first major national list of restaurants: The Resy 100.

In it, the company's editorial team selected one hundred dining establishments that, in their opinion, best define what it means to go out to eat in the United States today.

Miami did not go unnoticed: three local restaurants were included in this prestigious selection, and each one represents a unique expression of the city's culinary diversity.

From a Japanese-Caribbean fusion in Wynwood, to an irreverent Chinese-inspired pop-up kitchen in Upper Eastside, and a sophisticated reinterpretation of Middle Eastern flavors in North Miami, these three establishments confirm that South Florida is a creative force on the country's culinary map.

Shiso (Wynwood) — Stall 26: a fusion with its own identity

Located in the heart of Wynwood, Shiso is the creation of chef Raheem Sealey, who previously worked at venues such as Zuma, Pao, and Kyu, but here presents a much more personal proposal. Inspired by his Caribbean roots in Santa Cruz and his mastery of Japanese techniques, Sealey crafts dishes with deep flavor and creative boldness.

The oxtail udon with cured yolk—a kind of umami carbonara—has been described as an unforgettable dish.

Next is the corn bread with miso, sea urchin roe and salmon, the smoked ribs with furikake, and the Shiso chicken, half fried and half smoked, accompanied by a leek waffle.

The aesthetics, the rooftop ambiance, and a vibrant menu make Shiso one of the most original and comprehensive spaces in the city.

Double Luck (Upper Eastside) — Stand 37: irreverence, kitsch, and flavor

Double Luck Pop-Up was born as an extension of the experimental nights at Tâm Tâm, the successful restaurant by Tam Pham and Harrison Ramhofer.

In this new project, the chefs take their proposal even further, creating a space filled with lights, music, and dishes that blend nostalgia, humor, and haute cuisine.

The menu blends classics like mapo tofu and tea smoked duck with more casual dishes like Hennessy orange chicken, a playful and bold take on the Chinese-American classic.

The proposal is as visual as it is flavorful, and it has become a magnet for those seeking extraordinary culinary experiences.

Mutra (North Miami) — Booth 52: Heritage and Reinvention of the Middle East

In the North Miami neighborhood, chef Raz Shabtai, originally from Jerusalem, has created an intimate and deeply inspired space at Mutra.

Although the menu includes a "perfect falafel" - with tomato gel and za'atar - what truly stands out is its reinterpretation of Middle Eastern classics: cabbage stuffed with lamb, grouper with barley and Persian lime, kebab with white garlic and mint oil, or the poetic chicken liver that dreams of becoming foie gras, with date honey and pistachio crumble.

Mutra is also kosher, although its elegance and creativity transcend any religious label. It is a tribute to deeply rooted cuisine, elevated with technique and sensitivity.

The Resy 100: An Overview of How We Eat Today

With over 10,000 affiliated restaurants, Resy has a privileged view of the culinary ecosystem in the United States.

In September 2025, your editorial team launched The Resy 100, a carefully curated list that aims to represent "the restaurants that define dining today."

Unlike other rankings, this selection does not prioritize what is new or media-driven.

In the words of chief editor Jon Bonné, the list recognizes places that "inspire us to return again and again, serving exceptional food, whether comforting or daring, traditional or completely new."

It is more about an emotional and cultural mapping of the joy of going out to eat than about a classification.

And the fact that three spaces in Miami are included in it is no coincidence: it is confirmation that the city is not only continuing to set trends but also redefining the flavor of the United States.
