Miami, FL - Miami International Airport (MIA) has earned national recognition for its impressive culinary offerings, landing a spot on Food & Wine magazine’s 2025 Global Tastemakers Awards list of the best U.S. airports for food and drink.
The annual list, curated by a panel of over 400 global culinary experts, evaluates airports across the country based on the quality, variety, and uniqueness of their dining experiences.
MIA ranked ninth overall, praised for its blend of international flavors and locally inspired eateries that reflect the city’s cultural diversity.
Miami travelers are no strangers to high-end airport dining, with options ranging from Cuban classics to upscale seafood and Latin fusion cuisine.
From celebrity-chef partnerships to homegrown favorites, MIA continues to elevate the airport food scene by combining convenience with gourmet flair.
The 2025 rankings also spotlighted airports like Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta, which claimed the top spot, followed by Chicago O’Hare and New York’s JFK.
MIA’s inclusion among these major travel hubs signals a broader trend: travelers increasingly expect more than just grab-and-go snacks when flying—they want a taste of the region before they even leave the terminal.
According to Food & Wine, this year’s winners were selected not just for the food itself, but for how well each airport’s offerings reflect the surrounding city’s culinary identity.
As Miami continues to grow as an international travel destination, MIA’s place on the list shows its commitment to delivering world-class experiences—both on the runway and on the plate.
