When you reach the 15th St where the Ocean Dr. ends turn left and in a minute you'll enter the Espanola way. It's a small, yet cute street packed with restaurants. I suggest coming at night, as during the day it looks quite ordinary.
The street is very short, some 2,3 blocks, but looks very picturesque. You can barely walk among the street tables and chairs.
We actually didn't plan to dine here as dining in such a beehive is not inviting for me, but I took a look at several menus along the way finding them pretty expensive.

This is a lively street full of small restaurants on Washington Avenue which is walking distance from anywhere on Ocean Drive. We came on a Saturday night & had dinner at a Spanish restaurant 'Espanoliata Miami' where we had amazing seafood paella ( portion for 2 is enough for 4 people) . It was right next to the Italian restaurant 'Hosteria Romana' which was entertaining to watch as the servers were dancing , singing & playing music. The street gives a lot of photo ops & is the best place to spend a night out partying.

I have always loved Espanola Way. It is a short block of Latin inspired cuisines with a very vibrant vibe of diverse people (groups of singles, couples, families).
It offers a little getaway to feel like you are in another area in the middle south beach. The restaurants are decent but the waiters are fun and the food come fast.

The location looks beautiful, but be prepared for hosts trying to get you in their door and food that is overpriced (mind you, much of Miami is).
The food was so-so... the service was good though.
Many places in Miami automatically add a gratuity, so do keep that in mind

This is in a little small area off of Washington Street.
It's very quaint, and is a fantastic place to walk and hear the beautiful music playing and smell the yummy food they are cooking.
There are lots of businesses along this corridor and plenty of seating.
It is pedestrian-only so you can take your time walking through and enjoying the sights.
Very relaxed, and just feels like a great place to be.
I usually would include more photos of each attraction, but there was just so many people that I would have to cover over for privacy reasons, I just thought it would take away from the picture and how beautiful this area is.

This was a hidden gem we stumbled upon! We were staying down on Ocean Dr and we would walk up Lincoln every couple days and on one of our last days we decided to walk a different path. What a beautiful little street full of greenery and Spanish restaurants. We had some great Spanish meat and cheese trays at two of the restaurants. We then bought some for our hotel room. You could easily spend a day. walking around here.

After having a lovely brunch on a Sunday afternoon we walked through the Esplanade. There were family members of all different ages congregated in the area. The focus seem to be mostly shopping with a few people seated at tables watching others stroll by. All in all, it was OK but did not seem like a top 10 must see in Miami

Espanola Way will transport you from Miami to a European experience in a matter of second. From the moment you arrive you will love the atmosphere. You will have plenty of dinner options but one restaurant in particular that stood out for me was Havana 1957. I would recommend it to you all.

Enjoyed a meal at Havana 1957 at the entrance to Espanola way but came down specifically looking for Tapas bars to share before hitting the bars and clubs. So lots of chicken and rice dishes with a sprinkling of seafood. But no real Spanish Tapas. But when in Miami...

Best place to eat dinner at Espanola way?
Written June 11, 2019
Food and service continues to be great at Havana 57...my go to when in South Beach. There's an Italian restaurant one door away from Havana 57 ...and it was fantastic--ambience, coziness, friendly staff and excellent food.

If you aren’t in a hotel, several hotels are nearby. Call hotels located on 1500-1600 block of Collins Ave & see if they will hold luggage for a few. They are located around the corner from Espanola Way. I stayed at Berkeley Shore Hotel.

Bonjour,
En mars, pour une nuit en transit à Miami, en attendant de rejoindre les Exumas (Bahamas) sachant que c'est malheureusement le mois du springbreak, j'aimerais savoir s'il est possible de dormir au calme à l'hôtel Casa Victoria Orchid sur Espanola Way?
ou rester près de l'aéroport?
Merci de bien vouloir me répondre.
Written January 12, 2017
Bonjour,
Je ne pense pas que vous puissiez dormir au calme sur Espanola Way pendant le springbreak.
C'est une rue très animée, et j'imagine qu'elle l'est encore plus pendant cette période là.
Le mieux pour une nuit est de rester près de l'aéroport.

hola buenas noches, es una calle que diria que hay para comer para todos los gustos, desde pizzas, pero de la buena hasta buenas carnes nosotros comimos en dos lugares, en el lugar brasilero, es una ante esquina caminando desde la collins hasta la primera paralela, y en otro lugar que comimos, es pasando la primera calle, hay un par de lugares que comimos muy bien, no es barato, pero vale la pena.
un lugar donde no pueden dejar de ir es MANOLO, muy argentino, es como comer en buenos aires.

I don't think bikes would be an issue - it was only blocked off for cars. As long as you take care around pedestrians you should be fine.
