Editor's note: The Miami Grand Prix has a fancy, premium hospitality tier with high-end restaurants, but you'll need an expensive ticket to access any of it. This guide covers the general campus only — everything here is available no matter where you're sitting.
Doggi’s Arepa Bar
Doggi’s is one of my favorites arepa spots/cheap eats in town, and the handheld arepa format makes perfect sense for race day than almost anything else on campus. The combo of corn, cheese, protein filling of your choice all wrapped up in a tightly packed, handheld meal. Don’t forget to ask for extra green sauce.

Cowy Burger
Smash burger people, this is your stop. Cowy Burger started as a Wynwood pop-up in 2022, won the SoBe Wine & Food Festival Burger Bash in 2024, officially opened a permanent brick-and-mortar in Wynwood, and quickly become the burger in Miami. Highlights include the Cowy (American cheese, grilled onions, cowy sauce) or the Craver (provolone, confit peppers, cowy sauce).

Miami Slice
Miami Slice started as a pop-up in 2019, and basically has had long lines out its doors ever since. I’m a pizza fiend and this is one of my favorites in the city. La Salsera is their signature and should be on the menu, and the Pepperoni Proper runs hot honey and a serious pile of pepperoni.

Fuku
David Chang built Momofuku into one of the most important restaurant groups in the country, and Fuku is his fried chicken sandwich concept. Put those two powerhouses together, and how could it be bad? Fried chicken sandwiches for days with all the expected sides. The spicy sandwich doesn’t play around, and you’ve been warned.

Apocalypse Barbecue
Apocalypse Barbecue is a South Florida BBQ favorite built on South American and Caribbean flavors combined with Texas-leaning BBQ. Get the brisket if it’s available, people wait hours in lines for it at its Kendall outpost.

Café La Trova
Michelle Bernstein, a James Beard Award-winning chef, and Julio Cabrera, one of Miami’s most recognized bartenders, run Café La Trova out of Calle Ocho as a Cuban restaurant with live music built into the experience. It’s one of my favorite Cuban spots in the city. Live entertainment runs all weekend at the Fountains and Promenade. Café La Trova is also serving in premium hospitality if you happen to find yourself.

The Salty
The Salty launched in 2015 out of a 1950s Aljoa camper in Wynwood and grew into a national brand with outposts in every pocket of the city - including, naturally, F1. When the hankering for a sweet treat comes, the traditional glazed and the bacon-topped are my go-tos.
