Looking for the perfect way to spend Father’s Day with dad? The Miami Design District has you covered with the ultimate guide that combines incredible dining, sunny strolls surrounded by stunning art, plus, a thoughtfully curated gift guide.
Dining Made for Dad
Kick off Father’s Day with an unforgettable meal that’ll satisfy dad’s taste buds and make you the favorite child (if you aren’t already). Here’s what he’s probably thinking…
Sadelle’s
For the dad who loves a take on the classic diner vibe, take him to Sadelle’s. Known for bringing New York’s most iconic food traditions to Miami, Sadelle’s serves up pancake stacks, perfectly toasted bagels with a silver tower of accompaniments and even boozy cocktails for those celebratory vibes. Pro tip: order that bagel tower. Trust us, it’s as Instagram-worthy as it is delicious. The French Toast is also something he will sing home about. Dare us to say life changing?
COTE
If your dad enjoys a bit of luxury in his life (and on his plate), COTE is the perfect place. This Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse combines the interactive dining experience of Korean barbecue with the decadence of an American steakhouse. It’s the most elevated form of dinner and a show. From sizzling cuts of premium meat to expertly paired sides and drinks, it’s an indulgence dad won’t forget. Plus – you’ll end the meal with their signature soft-serve drizzled in a soy sauce caramel.
Michaels Genuine
For the adventurous foodie pop who loves trying new flavors, Michaels Genuine is probably the perfect pick. Known for its diverse menu that’s constantly evolving, this beloved eatery serves up everything from small bites to homemade desserts and fresh raw bar options. Claws and oysters galore. With its warm and modern vibe and chatty patio, Michaels Genuine is a guaranteed hit (he’ll probably become a regular like the rest of the dads who’ve tried it). Fun fact! Michaels was the first restaurant to ever land in the Miami Design District. A real OG, like dad.
Walk it off
After a meal that good, it’s only fitting to stretch your legs and soak up Miami’s sunshine. What better than a brisk walk taking in the sights? The Miami Design District offers plenty of ways to explore and enjoy its vibrant art scene. Walk down the hidden gem Jade Alley and find art popping into the most unsuspecting corners, make your way over to see the lush flora of Paradise Plaza and work your way over to the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), offering unforgettable exhibitions + free and open to the public.
Gifts He’ll Love But Never Ask For
We all know dads can be mysterious when it comes to what they really want for Father’s Day. That’s where we give our thoughts. Here’s a quick curated guide of gifts that will make Father’s Day while leaving the guesswork out of it. The best part, if you forgot a special gift just pretend you were taking selfies in the Cote bathroom while sneaking out to box up one of these. It's that easy.
Stylish Finds
Dads love a good baseball cap and they also know when they see one that’s Loro Piana – find it in a variety of colors. If he takes his weekends seriously, get him the Ferragamo Monogram Set which are basically stylish pajamas. Classic looks are in-store with the Brunello Cucinelli Linen and Cotton Knit Polo or go for an eclectic look like the Loewe reversible jacket. Accessorize things with the David Yurman Cable Cuff Bracelet or the Cartier Love Bracelet. Add a new scent to his collection with Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather Eau de Parfum.
Put the “Fun” in Functionality
Like the Rimowa Classic Cabin in Silver for the jet-setting dad or the Louis Vuitton Men’s Golf Set Box so he can be the coolest guy on the course and not to forget the watch that NASA qualified in 1965, the historical Omega Speedmaster 3rd generation.
Plan your day and explore all the Miami Design District has to offer this Father’s Day. Dad deserves it – and so do you!
