“Opportunities to indulge are selves are all too infrequent… Welcome to the exception.” That is the motto behind the Pelican Hotel, which was named by Travel Channel as “one of the best boutique hotels in the world.”

Pelican Restaurant is housed in the lobby of this deco-retreat from the ordinary, and has certainly followed suit. The patio sits perched a few feet above the famous Ocean Drive, offering spectacular people watching, and the interior is done up in unique retro decorations.

The cuisine is a mix of Mediterranean and Italian, offering salads, pastas, fish and meat for a little over $20 per plate. The menu is complimented by an award-winning wine list, which was carefully chosen by the sommelier.

Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner to a crowd straight off the beach, Pelican Restaurant can offer a good meal in a setting that will absolutely blow you away.

Pelican Restaurant is located at 826 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, Florida, 33139.
