The 14 Best Shaded Patios In Miami - Miami - The Infatuation

"Le Jardinier’s interior makes you feel like you’re sitting inside a luxury space station. But its patio is what we’d imagine being inside that space station’s greenhouse (of course it has one) is like. It’s completely covered, surrounded by dewy plants, and cooled by oscillating fans. To protect you from the elements, the upscale French restaurant has retractable shades for when the sun is too bright or one of Miami’s spontaneous storms rolls in. Since the patio makes it tolerable to eat here during the day, try their two- or three-course prix fixe lunch menu with flavors worthy of noting in a Starfleet’s captain’s log." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
