i recently headed to miami for a few days of rest and relaxation. one of the highlights of my trip was lunch at mandarin oriental’s la mar restaurant with my friend amy from creatrice mondial. located in key biscayne, its patio offers an epic view of the glossy brickell skyline against the turquoise waters of the city. one of my favorite dining traveler’s tips is toexperiencea fine dining restaurant for lunch because a. it’s easier to reserve and b. you canexperiencea prix fixe menu for much lower of a price. this lunchexperienceis the picture-perfect (no pun intended) example.
