Welcome To All

Garcia's Seafood Grille is a near half-century old Miami institution, serving up the freshest catch to locals and visitors alike to perenially high acclaim. The story begins in Cuba where, after confiscation of their business by the regime of the time, the first Garcia brother set sail for the United States to pursue a lofty dream.

Nothing came easy to the brothers as they arrived in their new home seeking opportunity. They began as fisherman, working tirelessly for local companies while saving every penny possible in the hope of one day venturing into the seafood business under their own steam.

After a couple of years, their dreams came to reality in earnest. Venturing out alone, the brothers launched a market for fresh fish and a processing operation. They began offering the finest catch to local businesses as a wholesaler. The business gained traction as the brothers became recognized for the freshness and quality of their catch.

Scenting the chance to truly put their talents to best use, they soon launched Garcia's Seafood Grille. From this platform, the brothers were able to bring the taste and flavor of perfect home cooking to all. The restaurant and fish market remain in the family to this day.

From humble origins, the restaurant has grown to become a true local institution -- lauded by professional critics and patrons alike. Even celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain visited Garcia's on his Miami tour to learn more about sea-to-table fresh cooking!

Wander Miami Food Tours are proud to offer guided tours of the city's finest dining institutions. Each "Succulent Seafood" tour includes a visit to Garcia's, where patrons can enjoy some of the finest and freshest catch anywhere on the east coast.

The Story

From its very inception, Garcia's Seafood Grille has prided itself on the freshness of its ingredients and its time-honed approach to quality food preparation. Nothing can come as close to ocean-to-plate seafood than a restaurant with its very own fishing fleet. To this day, Garcia's fleet ventures out each morning to obtain the freshest catch for diners.

This catch, obtained responsibly from Florida's own waters, is delivered to the restaurant on a daily basis. South Florida is blessed with a wonderful abundance of variety and the tradition of offering this fresh catch directly to diners has persisted for half a century with no end in sight.

Garcia's has been lauded for the quality of its waterfront dining by the Miami New Times and has greeted foodie legends including Anthony Bourdain through its many decades in business. However, the warm praise of patrons themselves exceeds all of this in importance.

If you're wondering why Garcia's names itself both Grille & Fish Market then the answer's simplicity will come as a treat for those who love to prepare fresh seafood from home. The restaurant location also serves as a place to purchase famously delicious and diverse ingredients to take with you!

Garcia's also prides itself on the quality of its wine selection. Servers can make recommendations for specific dishes. The cocktail list (featured above) will also pique the interest of those seeking a delicious and interesting accompaniment to their meal.

With a perfect riverside location and the freshest, regional catch in Miami, Garcia's embodies the verve and spirit of the city's cuisine. Few things compare when it comes to a perfect brunch or evening meal.

Today, Wander Miami Food Tours is incredibly proud to incorporate visits to Garcia's riverfront restaurant into our "Succulent Seafood" guided walk. We, like many others, are proud to introduce our guests to an institution and leading light in the local fresh culinary scene.

Final Words & Disclaimer

Truly great food doesn't rely on hidden secrets and closely guarded recipes -- simplicity and respect for the fundamentals is always the best policy. In the case of Garcia's this means three things: tremendous location, perfect cooking, and the freshest of ingredients.
