Want to save some money dining out in Miami? Here are some deals to try

When we asked Miami diners why they weren’t dining out as much as they used to, they had many reasons, but one stood out: The cost.

So where do you go to find a deal? Here are a few offers around town you might want to consider.

Titanic Brewing & Restaurant

At this cozy University of Miami-adjacent spot, owner Kevin Rusk and chef Roberto Samaya are continuing the International Salmon Fridays special they resurrected from 1997. For $20, choose from six unique salmon recipes: Mediterranean zaatar and lemon; Southern brown sugar and mustard; pistachio pesto; French Provençal with fennel, rosemary and orange zest; Nigerian crispy suya spiced, a peanut-based blend with ginger, garlic, onion and cayenne; Korean salmon bulgogi with soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic and ginger with Asian pear puree.

Each salmon dish comes with rice, potatoes or pasta, depending on the dish, and vegetables.

Walrus Rodeo

This wood-fired gem in Little Haiti from chefs Alex Meyer and Luciana Giangrandi (also the owners of the Michelin-starred Boia De in the same strip mall) offers M&M Mondays. That M&M stands for “magnums & marinara,” two of our favorite things. The restaurant’s famous pizzas are $12, and so are glasses of wine, and you can sit at the bar or enjoy them in the dining room.

Paya and Ghee

This delightful restaurant from Chef Niven Patel and Mohamed Alkassar offers a $50 tasting menu on Monday that features some of the best items the restaurant has to offer, including wahoo ceviche, the popular truffle brie grilled cheese, the daily catch in a lemongrass glaze and tamarind lamb chops (among other items). You’ll also find $50 tasting menus at the duo’s terrific Ghee Indian Kitchens on Mondays.

Paya: 1209 17th St., Miami Beach; www.payamiami.com

Michael’s Genuine

Mondays and Thursdays are good times to visit the Design District OG. On Mondays, get $1 oysters (a deal you’ll also find at sister restaurant Amara by Paraiso on Tuesdays). On Thursdays, Michael’s has started an all-night happy hour that runs from 4 p.m. until closing with $10 classic cocktails and $6 bar bites like potato chips with pan-fried onion dip; chicken liver crostini; shrimp toast bahn mi and crispy pig ears tossed with chile and lime.

On the weekly holiday that is Taco Tuesday, Coyo offers 50 percent off some of its best tacos (like al pastor, cohinita pibil and pollo al carbon) that you can pair with a $10 margarita. Available at all locations.

Uchi

For the first time at any of its restaurants, the Austin import has a less expensive entry point: Its Wynwood location is now open for lunch, serving a $25 fixed-price menu and $5 cocktails.

Joe’s Take Away

Forget the stone crabs (they’re not in season until October, anyway). Everyone who’s anyone knows the best deal at Joe’s Stone Crab is the legendary take away fried chicken, half a bird for $7.95. Even a slice of Key lime pie will cost you more than that ($13.95).

Flanigan’s

Spending a lot of money at your local Flanigan’s isn’t easy, but even so, the $6.99 lunch special (with purchase of a beverage) is a South Florida classic. From 11 a.m.-4 p.m., you can get a burger, soup and sandwich, pasta salad with crab or chicken salad; soup and salad; barbecue chicken or blackened tilapia sandwich; 10 wings or a barbecue half chicken. The only catch? You have to eat in, not take out.
