South Beach Seafood Festival|October 23-26, 2024|Miami Beach, Florida

2024 Participating Restaurants

South Florida’s top seafood restaurants have been selected to create the best gourmet seafood cafés for ONE day only, plus some exciting surprises in store with some of your leading dessert pop ups keeping your palette fresh in between cafe’s.

Where else can you enjoy five-star cuisine from Florida’s most sought after Chefs and eateries in one day? South Beach Seafood Festival restaurants are carefully selected to ensure guests are immersed in the best culinary experience possible!

On Saturday, October 26, 2024, festival gates will open and guests will enter a true seafoodie paradise. Our South Beach Seafood Festival restaurants create beachfront pop up cafes with fully functional kitchens. This is not your average food festival; many world-famous Chefs spend the day preparing their most creative seafood dishes fresh for you!

All South Beach Seafood Festival restaurants serve from noon to 7 PM. Available at festival-friendly prices from $5 – $10, restaurants prepare some of their popular menu items, and often make something special just for the festival! Who can forget Octopus Lollipops or Famous Lobster Cones? You won’t find those in their restaurants – you have to head to South Beach Seafood Week for that!

Additionally, there are some signature chefs joining us to create culinary demonstrations just for you inside the Milam’s Markets Culinary Showcase Kitchen so enjoy a little education while you’re out there.

You can also visit our Facebook page @sobeseafoodfest for new restaurant announcements.
