August is here, and with that comes time to make your affordable fancy food adventures come to a reality. During the months of August and September over 200 restaurants throughout Miami participate in Miami Spice, featuring 3 course lunches for $23 and dinners for $39. It’s one of the best chances we have to get out there and try new hot spots and old favorites. Many restaurants have rotating menus, allowing for guests to come back multiple trips to experience something different each time.

The Fontainebleau Miami Beach has three restaurants taking part in this food affair and for the sake of our dedicated readers I “volunteered” as a guest to test out the menus at these amazing restaurants. All in ONE night. It was quite a sacrifice, but I did it for you loyal MIAbites readers.

Scarpetta, Hakkasan, and Stripsteak by Michael Mina are each home to some very well curated menus that offer guests an affordable option to try some of their best dishes.
