00:00 Introduction
01:30 Versailles World's Most Famous Cuban Restaurant
12:10 Joe's Stone Crab
20:00 Versace's Mansion
26:30 Takeout Market FoodHall
29:40 Hidden Gem LUR
Further travels in Florida brings me to the great beaches and attractions in Miami. Lot's of things to do, many places to visit, and lots of good food to enjoy. Thank you for joining me on a day tour of Miami!
From the world's most famous Cuban Restaurant, Versailles Restaurant to Versace's Mansion in South Beach, and many many eateries in between, it was a packed day of being a tourist in the best possible way.
Starting the day with a hearty cuban breakfast at Versailles, known as the world's most famous Cuban restaurant, I was greeted by William and Elizabeth who introduced me to great authentic Cuban fair: crispy croquettes, luscious ox tail, crispy cuban pork and more! It was easy to over order and gosh, did I over order. But that hearty meal sets one up for the day of visiting beaches and walking to all the sights and attractions.
A visit would not be complete without a taste of Florida's favourite crustacean, the stone crab! A what better place to this season treat than at the legendary eponymous restaurant: Joe's Stone Crab! Again, there is a danger of over ordering with their temptations of a Lobster Rueben, Bisques, and even Fried Chicken...
Looking for a drink and a nice dinner with a fashion twist, take a tour to of Versace's Mansion. Grab a drink, stay for dinner, or stay the night as Versace's Mansion is now a luxury hotel.
But the most amazing experience is a hidden gem tucked away in the Timeout Market food hall! Here, you'll find great foods from many cultures from fresh Peruvian flavours at 33 Kitchen to an incredible gem known as Lur, serving up Micheline-Star quality dishes including light-as-air truffle cheese fritters to Miami's best Basque Cheesecake (and I believe the chef is selling himself short with that declaration).
It was certainly a jam packed day and a very fulfilling one in more ways than one.

Tim posts a video…drop everything and watch!!
LoL.. Much appreciated Julie and just enjoying getting to share these experiences🙂
Yessssssss of corse! 👋🏻💯🙂❤️
Very true 👌👌
I know right?!
SO FUN!!!! Loved this!!! You’re a gracious host!❣️🙋♀️🕉‼️
Thank you Sue!
Best part of your show today was seeing the people seated in the tables behind you. I was laughing so much at their reaction to what you were doing.. Funny stuff. Food looked yummy too.👍🤗
Oh, I think one of the tables behind me were from the Attorney Police ... I was extra careful 😉
Miami is amazing! ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻✌🏻
Versailles on Calle Ocho was a regular lunch spot for me when I worked at MIA in the late '70s/early '80s. Glad to see they're still thriving!
It's certainly thriving and I can see why 😋
@@TimLeeLetsGo
I saw you were served the garlicky goodness of their yucca, but I don't think I saw you try any. Since it's a starch and you had ordered so much, did you not give it a try?
Tim is literally the best. The nicest person and orders like a complete boss. Such a quality channel. Thank you, Tim! your detail and editing are really nice! the lobster Reuben looked so interesting and that food hall was amazing! wow! the gentleman at LUR tapas was so sweet! those tapas and cheesecake looked phenomenal 😋
Oh, if you get a chance to visit, the lur tapas place was probably the best meal I've had... Mainly because it was a total surprise and it was amazingly good... I would go back there for sure
@@TimLeeLetsGo Please do a more extensive food tour of the Time Out Market. That place looked Devine, I am wondering if the prices were just as extravagant as the food appeared to be? Thanks again for another fabulous video.
When you said wish you were here to help me eat, I said out loud me too ✋! Love you Tim 😍
I could use all the help I can get 🙂
As always, such a true pleasure to be your guest on these food tours...Your adventurousness as well as your always being so kind and generous to the staff where ever you go, inspire me.
Hi Steve, just having a lot of fun here and really grateful that all the servers and hosts were such good sports. Thank you again for your very kind comment 🙂
Tim, whenever you see Stone Crab Claws at a good price load up on them. They're one of the most expensive crab you get.
They're only allowed to take one crab claw off of each crab because they're a depleted species. They take the big claw & the crab grows the claw back.
You're so fortunate to be able to make your channel & travel the way you do.
If I were young again, I'd be doing this in a quick minute.
I've always wanted to travel & eat before RUclips was ever thought of but I've never had the opportunities all of you have had to do so now a days.
Different generation & such.
You go for the big one's Tim lol.
You are so fun to watch! Thank you for taking me on a wonderful tour! God Bless!
contination.....
such impeccable manners and a sense of humor. My family and I thoroughly enjoy your videos. It is such a pleasure to listen to your comments on conasura meals. You take us along on your wonderful adventures of Bon Appétit foods and beautiful decorative surroundings of fine dining that leave us all breathless. What more could we ask. Today's video was another splendid day of meals to cherish. You are such a gentleman, THANK YOU!
Just love your vlogs! Keep them coming!🎉
And Sorry Tim! yep... Tracey from the UK AGAIN 🇬🇧 two comments on one video 😂 I posted the first before I'd even watched it all!
I have to say that this is my absolute favourite video you've ever posted! I've never seen you enjoy your food so much. Lovely to see! 😊 xxx
Hi Tracey, it was quite a bit of food indeed.. luckily, I packed some of the items up, but with my flight leaving the next day, I had a bit of fun explaining to TSA why I'm bringing so much food with me 😆
OMG, Tim I am DYING here! I imagined sitting there with you,tasting every bite.Miami has done you proud.The rich cultural history and deliciousness of Versailles( Ropa Vieja, Cuban sandwiches, Roast garlic chicken also delish) ,the crazy amount of amazing dishes you tried at Joe's Stone Crab and the cheese fritters at the market! Wow! Gianni Versace was murdered at his front gate after his regular daily walk to get newspapers.He spent a lot of time there.I knew the family sold it but did not know it is now a gorgeous restaraunt and hotel.Its a HUGE home.Very sad,though! I am a Cali girl but if I was to live in FL it would only be in Miami, as it is so diverse culturally.
Really enjoyed the time in Miami and probably ate way too much... But grateful to get to try the different dishes... Yeah, I was not planning on going to the Versace mansion, but I did meet one of the attending nurses during that incident by chance in Orlando... Definitely had to pay a visit and it was quite a spectacular mansion.
@@TimLeeLetsGo Did u see the movie they made about the man who killed GV and why? It was very good.It was called "The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story" on FX channel starring Darren Kriss as the killer in (he won an Emmy for it).Don't know if u can see it anywhere right now.It was produced as a drama based on the true story.Since u went to the mansion, it might be of interest.
Why he killed Gianni? 🥺🤔. He murdered him on his doorstep because he was mentally ill.
I literally dream of Miami food! I grew up there but live in NC now; Versailles & Joes are 2 of my favorites. The Miami scene is so vibrant and culturally diverse- although I love NC for its climate, friendly people, and fresh, clean air, it’s a bit bland compared to the rich complexity of MIA. Enjoy your visit!
Wonderful video, you certainly are enjoying all that America has to offer, looking forward to more of your travels Tim
You can tell Tim loves what he does. Keep it up!!!
Absolutely grateful to get to visit and share these experiences 😀
Oh wow,all of the places looked fantastic.thanks for sharing your good experiences with us Tim!
Miami folks have nothing to hide - hahaha. Surprising - but refreshing!
I hope you get more subscribers! You're one of the most well mannered people I know.
Tim, I'm trying to catch up with your past videos and this one from Miami really made me want to catch a plane and go visit just to eat at Lur...his creations were gorgeous and must have tasted sooo good!! Wow! Thanks, Tim for all your wonderful videos. I'm a big fan of Tim Lee and your Coca-Cola t-shirts too! You are so wonderful, kind & polite....and cute! 🤗❤️👍👍
It's an experience and experiences can never be too much. Once my husband and I ordered 6 dishes at a seafood restaurant overlooking the Watergate hotel. The experience was amazing. Good stories to tell too. Thanks Tim for ordering just enough for us to experience it. 😁
Thanks Tina! I totally agree... Since we're not there normally, it's an excuse to try many things ... I had to pack some of the food back, and since my flight was the next day, I had to explain to TSA why I had so much food with me...
@@TimLeeLetsGo 🤣
In the last few months Tim has travelled almost as much as the Vancouver Canucks! NY, FLA, TX, CA, and LV. I would not be surprised if he is a hockey fan because his hometown Canucks played in all those states in the last year.
Heh, I guess I am following their travel...hmm, I wonder what's to eat in Ottawa 🤔
Tim, this is your best video yet. That cheese cake looks insane.
Great video Tim. I was thinking you might be interested in going to Hawaii sometime. I see on RUclips there's buffets there.
Ok. I just finished watching this and now I'm already looking to book a flight to visit that market and hopefully Lur is still there. It's only been 10 months so maybe I'll get lucky. You always make me hungry but this place looked so cool to visit with so many choices. I liked your idea of ordering small from a few different places. That's right up my ally. Glad I saw this one while looking for places to travel. Thank you so much!
Great variety of food Tim. I was getting stuffed just watching you eat 😂. Glad you are having a great time in FL. It's awesome that you show your followers all parts of the US and Canada. Thank you!
Thank you for your very kind comment Alan, really grateful to get the chance to visit these places and share the experiences.
Wow that lobster reuben lobster looks amazing!
Tim, I hope to cross paths with you someday during your travels so that we can have a glass of wine and enjoy good food! You're a joy to watch on your videos! The truffles in teeth segment was so cute! :)
Thank you for another wonderful video, Tim!! Your videos are so engrossing that by the end of your culinary adventure, I felt very full as well. Eat well and be well, my friend!!
Thank you so much again Kim
Ty so much Tim 💓..that Cuban pork looked sooo tasty. Safe travels 🤗♥️♥️. Lol...the pho challenge..😳🤣
LoL... Still haven't touched a bowl of pho yet 😆
I am grateful to visit all of the places you go with maybe one day I'll get to travel .
Loved this one! Everything seemed really delicious 🤤
I believe you have swayed a good number to consider Florida as a tourist destination- if not a place to reside. May all your adventures be as satisfying.
Really did enjoy Florida... What cannot be shown was the humidity 😉
Your smile and little laugh at how good the bisque is was so delightful. Wonderful video Tim!
Joe's stone crab was quite the experience...a bit pricey but very good
Boy was this one a treat. So much good food to see. Great work as always!
Thank you so much 😃
Whoa! You did a great job Tim, visiting all those eateries! We're beyond impressed! Everything looked delicious too.
Thanks Bill and Lisa! I didn't realize how many drinks I had.. but I think a zero Guinness would have hit the spot at one of them 😃
Tim! What a grand food adventure ! For me happiness is a table for one completely covered with plates of wonderful food. Then the Time Out Market just blew me away! Thank you for such a remarkable adventure. I'm stuffed!
The time out market is definitely worth going to, I think I had my best meal at lur ... I think that was probably the best cheesecake and best dessert I've ever had
just when i had nothing good to watch and desperately needed to put something on. tim in clutch. uploaded 8 minutes ago and i feel so lucky once again
Ohh, I heard there was a new season for Stranger Things on!!! Season 4?
@@TimLeeLetsGo Tim i think you just saved my next couple nights from boredom
You have beautiful voice!.love listening to u Tim..b safe..n Blessings
Thanks Shelly, I think it was mostly the mic... Thank you so much for your kind comment 😃
Stone crab is without question my favorite shellfish, and trust me, I like my seafood. If I lived in FL, I could give up meat forever! Nice video! Safe travels to you.
Hi Roger, I totally agree. I think this trip to Florida was the first time I had fresh stone crab and it was very tasty...
@@TimLeeLetsGo When I was a young boy I grew up in Florida. When the stone crab season came around, we always caught our own with crab pots. Talk about some epic feasts. Even back then in the restaurants, they weren't that expensive, but everything has changed. I'm not sure if it's because demand is outpacing supply, or just profit. It seemed like back then, we always were able to catch as many as we wanted, even harvesting one claw.
Oh Tim this is wonderful!!! You are living your best life, and you really are a man after my own heart! When I'm traveling and on foot, I always like to have a drink with every meal or snack! My favorite travel memories involve making friends in a bar when the weather decides not to cooperate! Thank you so much, Tim, for sharing your adventures with us! Cheers! 😀
Thank you Val, it was kind of fun just to explore the city.. traveling like this is kind of hard to do at home cuz you know all the places you want to go to.. it's more adventurous when away from home
Tim is such a diplomatic person with
So happy you are enjoying Florida, you have a way of making everything look so wonderful. You are the kindest person. Love your content and the way you present it. Thank you, keep enjoying as I am watching your video.
Thank you Lorraine, it was just nice to get to visit and share these places! So glad to have met all these great people and definitely made it a great trip!
Love Cuban roast pork, oxtails & Plantains! Of course I love seafood, stone crab is so sweet & can’t say no to lobster! 😋
It was quite a lot of food, and really love the seafood and that Cuban oxtail was superb... Also the best cheesecake I've ever had there. Hope you're keeping well and are you still in hawaii?
Wow those places were very nice specially that Cuban restaurant can’t wait to try it out when I get there thanks Tim once again great reviews
Hi Jay, the Cuban restaurant was a pleasant surprise and very reasonable! The Miami Beach area gets really expensive really quickly 😬😉
Hi tim great video. I think you out did yourself this time my friend. Miami's food looked scrumptious!! I've been on ocean drive when I was in Miami nice place to visit. Lots of eateries nice homes also. Thank you for the content. The Cuban restaurant was amazing. Where to next?? Different type of food??😁😁 safe travels
Wonderful food in a food court !
You did great. I have been dining at Joe's in SOBE for 18 years and I have only ordered Stone Crabs. I have never had anything esle on the menu. I typically have mutiple orders of the LARGE and take home an order. That mustard is the best and you cannot get it anywhere else. For me it is the PRECIOUS!
Thanks for Sharing!
Just amazing my friend, you have such a fantastic channel thanks and keep the videos coming!
You are the best Utube host.
Thank you for your kind comment🙏🙏🙏
Loved this video. The truffle in your teeth was hilarious lol. I just love how kind you are always to everyone ❤
Tim, Renee did a fantastic job in recommending that food, it surely looks delightful. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely.. great recommendations for sure... Actually, all the dishes at Joe's Stone crab were delicious
@@TimLeeLetsGo They definitely looked so, can't wait for the next adventure Tim. Keep well!
Amazing!! I live in Miami and already been to some of these places, but watching your videos makes me wanna stop by and visit again to eat immediately!!!!! Haha - great job Tim!!! Your videos keep getting better and better. Thank you.
Wow beautiful in Miami, Florida!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful video!
I love you brother. Now I can see clearly about Maimi.
Excellent 💙
😀
Tim u are a man of my heart, I love watching u eat.🥰 The food looked delicious and seafood so fresh!! Cooks
Thank you again Cookie! Really enjoyed Miami and one day was far too short to spend there...
You love your cocktails! 😁
the cocktails were really good.. Actually, I never realized how many drinks I had until reviewing the video 😬😉
Thank you for the video Tim!! Great one😻
Tyvm, same to you Tim 🤗
love your reviews. you never say anything bad, but we can tell if you don't like something because of personal preference or just a not terrific dish.keep up the good work.kudos Tim
Oh yeah, I sometimes run into an occasional roast that's a little bit too lean or a little bit too dry... Not really a big fan of that... I generally things are pretty good 🙂
Awesome food choices there in Florida! Can't go wrong with oxtail. That was an interesting food journey, thanks Tim!
Thank you so much for reaching out...may have overdid it with the food order 😉
I do want to go to Miami, in the future. You've highlighted some great places to eat. I definitely would like to try those different dishes, especially the stone crab claws. Cheers, Tim and God Bless! ✌️🇨🇦
Thanks again Dwayne and keep in mind that the stone crabs are seasonal.. I think they just ended... Once again my editing skills just isn't quick enough 😉
lovely video , the lobdter rueben and the cheese puffs looked amazing thank you so much
The cheese fritter was a very pleasant surprise... The cheesecake at the end was probably the best dessert I've had ever!
I've never seen a Basque cheesecake that oozy, it looks so fun! Here's hoping I can go myself one day because I'm always in for cheesecake!
Jess, I kid you not, that was probably the best dessert I have ever had in my life
Tim, thanks again for showing such wonderful video. It was hard to decide what to choose from the nice menuu. The pork skin looked delicious, so was the ox tail. Can't wait to go to this place the next time I visit Miami. Looking forward to your next video.
Go for the oxtail Winnie 🙂. It's interesting because someone commented to try Bahamas Seafood for their croquettes... Just a heads up if you're visiting
@@TimLeeLetsGo Thanks Tim. That's exactly what I intended to do if ever I visit Miami. Take care.
Awsome video. A really good cuban restaurant with extremely large portions and tropical drinks is "Palacio de Jugos" on Flagler st.
Tim: you really pigged out! The oxtail at Versailles is to die for! Joe's Stone Crab is very pricey & I thought the lobster Reuben at $35 was overpriced! The Time Out Markets are in several cities & offer some interesting comfort food! Miami & surroundings certainly are a foodie paradise! Tim, you must have taken to your hotel quite a few doggie-bags, enjoy!
Oh Lawrence, my flight was the next day, and I had a bit of fun explaining to TSA about all the food... I think the food Hall was the place where I had the best meal ... lur, the Spanish tapas place was absolutely amazing
A+++ video again TIM!!! Your content makes one feel he is walking/eating just beside you!!!!
Oh my! I'm enjoying at the same time hungry while watching you ☺️
Love these kinds of videos Tim! Travel good vlog! Love it! All the food and places are amazing! Watched every minute and enjoyed so much. Thanks Tim for yet another great video! Take care always and God bless!
I was drooling when you went to joes! All of that food looks sooooo delicious
My eyes are stuffed to the gills. Thanks .. Cheers to you ..
Thanks Laurie 😀
Everything looked so good!! I’ll have to check out the Versace mansion when I return.
Hi Ginia, make sure you make a reservation for dinner there.. it doesn't look too expensive, and the view and the atmosphere is quite spectacular
I haven’t been in Miami in years. I will definitely go back soon. Thank you for the food tour Tim.
Great to hear and hope you get a chance to explore many other great eateries 😃
Hey Tim I want to say thank you because when I go back to Orlando definitely gonna go here going to order the lobster bisque Stone crab and a woman sandwich and that’s a lot for me everything looks so good enjoy your videos keep them coming
Hi Michelle, I must say that it's so easy to travel throughout Florida; I found the highways/routes quite convenient, albeit I was there for leisurely travel 🙂
Great video...food looked so delicious...glad you had a great time in Miami...safe travels and God Bless Tim 😘🤗💙
Thank you Jade and a happy Memorial weekend to you
Food looks amazing! Thx for sharing!
Thank you Kosan
Your down the street from me. I’ve heard of all the restaurants you went to. Been to Joe’s Crab Shack. Welcome to south Florida.
Hey Laura.. really enjoyed Miami... I'm sure most of the places I went were quite touristy... Very enjoyable and would be great to find some non touristy eateries 🙂
You did Miami Proud! I loved this video. Thank you
Thank you so much Julie! I means a lot...Florida (and Miami) is definitely a great place!
Just such a high class quality video from you, Tim Lee 🙇♀️👌👌👏🏻👏🏻
And the food is amazing. Delicious
Blessings.
Miami is quite a beautiful place and it wasn't difficult to capture the great images there... Thank you again Glenda 😃
@@TimLeeLetsGo what you shown us is beautiful and I appreciate you. You must have a good camera because it is a beautiful picture everytime 🥰👌
Another great video !!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing and you are a gem of a person !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the tour.
Thank you so much!
I love your videos! You’re a cool man, simple and kind. Can’t wait for new videos
Thank you so much for your very kind comment 🙂
Go to the Grand Lux Cafe. Awesome food and plenty of it. Great Cajun flair.
Thank you so much! I am actually keeping a list of all the great recommendations and definitely adding the Grand Lux cafe... Really appreciate you taking the time to give the suggestions
Oh those stone claws at Joe's!!! I loved sitting there and having stone claws and crisp white wine.....then in my short time I had to find a Cubano sandwich.....so a bar in Little Havana was the ticket. I did not know of Versailles - it will be on the list when I return as well as that Marketplace - OH MY!!!!
Thanks for the video Tim this video is absolutely wonderful with all the delicious food 😋 wow amazing tim that cheesecake 😀
Thank you so much again Melisa! Very fun to explore Miami and lots of good food 😋
The Ox Tail was just dreamy 🤩
Definitely one of the best dishes ever
The truffle bit was the BEST lol. Love it!
Gosh, you should have seen my reaction when I was editing the video 😆
A lot of nice food here.
Watching and mouth-watering hahaha I Food leveling
I just moved back home, to South Florida, after 14 years away and thanks for doing the leg work. 🤗👍. If you get the chance, Dixie Crossroads Broiled Rock shrimp is Amazing. Titusville FL. The Cuban National dish is the "stringy" meat, Ropa Vieja. The Basque cheesecake is stunning, can't wait to go!!
Thanks you Kt and very much appreciate your suggestion ... I keep a list of all the recommendations and certainly adding Dixie Crossroads to it! Very much appreciated and you live in such a wonderful state!
Looking to travel to MIA …thanks for sharing, Tim!
Hope you get a chance to go 🙂
You're so funny, allthat food haha. Great food. All looked fabulous. I'm all in for the lobster rueben with stone crab bisque
Hi Anne! First time having a lobster rueben and the stone crab bisque and it certainly didn't disappoint.. Hope you get a chance to give it a try!
Everything looks delicious.. 👍
Was really impressed with the food in Miami especially the last stop at the food hall.. honestly that was probably the best thing I've ever had.. the cheesecake was superb
Lobster rueben looks absolutely delicious
That was a pleasant surprise.. would definitely order it again, but it is pricy
Those are my friends sitting next to you at time stamp 8:59 haha! Glad you enjoyed Miami!
Hi Paige, they were super cool! They recommended Joe's Stone crab and the timeout foodhall that I got to visit last... Really enjoyed the places and please thank them for the great suggestions 😃
Tim lee is the greatest food reviewer of all time I hope I can see him at a buffet in Vegas one day that would be a dream come true!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for your very kind comment Hunter, just really grateful to get to visit these places and share the experiences. Thank you again 😃
Great video as always Tim
Thank you so much 🙂
