Among some of the hippest new spots to take root in South Florida this Spring is Shelter, Brooklyn’s acclaimed wood-fired restaurant and bar. Shelter Wynwood, features the woodsy, “hunting lodge chic” design and style that has made it such a Williamsburg staple and will certainly play well in Wynwood given its artistic, bohemian vibe. Overflowing with delicious, rustic fare, informed by its creators’ Italian and Argentine roots and fueled by a wood-burning oven, the menu promises variety, bold flavors, and crave-able simplicity. Starters range from steamed mussels with crunchy fire-toasted bread; crispy artichokes with pecorino cheese dip, a meat & cheese board with all the fixings; truffled mac & cheese, and fresh ceviche mixto. Pizzas, available gluten-free if desired, are a fixture here. Main-plates range from a roasted half-chicken with mashed potatoes and a delicious burger to parillada for two – ribeye, chorizo, morcilla, skirt steak, chicken – served with roasted vegetables and fries and slow-braised double rubbed pork ribs. Shelter Wynwood also has a varied beer list emphasizing local and/or independent brewers, as well as a thoughtful wine and craft cocktail list. Shelter Wynwood is located at 10 NE 27th Street in Miami. Dinner served Monday – Sunday. www.shelterbrooklyn.com
