Walrus Rodeo

Walrus Rodeo brings unique contemporary wood-fired cuisine to a rambunctious corner spot in Miami's Buena Vista neighborhood, from the same team behind nearby Boia De. With no gas oven or stove, everything from pizzas to bone marrow to lamb ragu lasagna gets cooked over live fire, resulting in a menu where vegetables often steal the show alongside quail, tartare, and baked oysters.

The vibe is casual yet upscale, cozy and trendy, with a lively bar scene and a wine list that pairs nicely with the char-kissed plates. Expect a $50-100 per person range, reservations recommended, and a crowd that mixes neighborhood regulars with visitors chasing Miami's best new-school Italian-American spot.

It's welcoming to families, couples, and solo diners alike, with the restaurant earning a spot in the Michelin Guide for its inventive, unfussy approach to seasonal, wood-fired fare. Walrus Rodeo is open nightly for dinner from 5:30 to 10:30 PM, just minutes from Wynwood and the Design District, and weekday evenings are the quieter time to go.
