Top 5 Places to Eat in Surfside
A tropical paradise with almost everything you can think of-- good food, bussing nightlife, memorable tourist attractions, world-class shopping, and more-- is what most people think of Miami Beach.
And they're not wrong. But, what they don't know is that within the famous Florida destination lies a charming beachfront town that serves as one of its best-kept secrets-- Surfside.
Well, it WAS a hidden gem up until now.
When you think about it, it's really hard to keep low-key when you've got a quaint oceanfront neighborhood that offers an array of eclectic food spots, dozens of green spaces, a truckload of outdoor opportunities, and an entire beach of its own!
And when it comes to Surfside's dining scene?
Let's just say it's more than just "palatable," but a whole other class of its own!
The good news is that most of them are Kosher-certified!
Be sure to visit with an empty stomach, 'coz it's about to get crowded in there!
Here are the Top 5 Eats to try while you're here. (in no particular order)

For something light, easy, but meaty during your Surfside stay, visit Josh's Deli, one of the pioneers in Surfside's food scene.
A famous artisan deli that fuses Latin American, Asian and Jewish cuisine, pushing the needle on traditional Jewish deli food, Josh's Deli offers customers an extensive menu (that often keeps them coming back), including popular faves like fresh homemade bagels, challah bread, and latkes!
Meanwhile, the deli's signature dish, the "Jewban," a quintessential triple-decker Cuban sandwich featuring the deli's cured pastrami, roast pork, and swiss cheese, is another to-die-for!
While you're there, try a sandwich made with house-cured pastrami, corned beef, roast turkey, avocado, and bacon.
Bacon in a deli, you ask?
Josh's motto is "A Jewish deli done wrong," so you get the picture!
But let me say, being wrong feels so right!
