Since Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink first opened in the Miami Design District in spring of 2007, diners have come to embrace and crave its refreshing combination of laid-back atmosphere and seriously good food, a neighborhood bistro that is the ultimate showcase for the type of cuisine that chef/owner Michael Schwartz does best – homemade, unpretentious, delectable, with an emphasis on great local ingredients. Bon Appétit Magazine wrote in 2022 "Michael's Genuine is refreshingly approachable yet upscale, offering guests a true neighborhood gem where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy simple, consistently delicious dishes." In 2022 and 2023, the first Florida MICHELIN Guide honored the restaurant with a Bib Gourmand awards.

Please call for our corkage and cake policies and fees.

    Always been a fan of this place. Food always great as it was this time. But they had a loud band playing which we’ve never experienced. Unfortunately we couldn’t hear our friends who were visiting from out of country.

    Awesome experience at Michael’s Genuine! Food, waitress, hostess were all outstanding! I spotted an error on menu for my favorite pricey wine ($75 vs $750) and Michael let us have it for the listed price! Will certainly return soon!
