“One of my favorite restaurants in Miami. Definitely a splurge but the food is so good. Staff is super educated on allergies and could help direct me with ease. It’s of course a seafood restaurant but they also have a full steak menu as well that I highly recommend! There is a cocktail bar upstairs as well that’s perfect for a sunset or after dinner drink.”

Ristorante Villa Cipriani

Ristorante Villa Cipriani

Location: Funchal, Portugal

“An absolute gem of a restaurant!! The atmosphere is so lovely and the staff is so attentive. The menu is marked with most allergies and they take it super seriously. We had a fantastic meal and finished the night with tableside gluten-free tiramisu!!! It was so good that we came back for dessert again the next night and they remembered me and my allergy without me saying anything first. Incredible place. Make reservations well in advance (and note that they safe many tables for the hotel guests first but we had no issues having a later dinner to get in).”
