Crazy Fun

Segafredo takes pride in having a split personality.

Weekdays are reserved for al-fresco lunches, catching up with friends over a drink, and networking with colleagues. Weekends are for house music pumping from the luxuriously decorated Spazio Nero inside, as well as conversations flowing at the Garden Bar outside; 1421 S. Miami Ave.; 305.577.9811; SegafredoBrickell.com. — Rony Mo

Haute Cuisine
Your tastebuds may just overload your brain when you try the benignly named Spinach Salad from Porfirio’s Restaurante. This over-the-top creation includes creamy chèvre, crispy bacon, tart apples, sweet baby corn, pink pine nuts and greens tossed with black cherry vinaigrette. If that’s not explosive enough, try the Chipotle Meatballs stewed in a fiery sauce that will have you sweating with satisfaction; Porfirios.com.mx. — Rony Mo

It’s Just Beans
Without coffee, whole governments would collapse, only the bravest and well-armed citizens would brave rush-hour traffic, and you’d be pretty worthless at those 8 a.m. meetings. Get your morning fix at one of these Brickell cafés.
