Fine China






Philippe If when you think of Chinese food you automatically conjure images of little plastic containers filled with wonton soup, white rice in paper boxes and paper-wrapped egg rolls, it’s time to think again. Philippe Miami in the Gansevoort South Hotel is an entirely authentic experience, one provided by the Hong Kong-born and trained Philippe Chow that rivals no other this side of the Atlantic. The health-conscious among you will rejoice in the Steamed Menu, with offerings like a Dumpling Sampler and Steamed Whole Fish of the Day, whereas traditionalists may prefer specialties such as the Beijing Chicken with walnuts, Peking Duck, Crispy Sweet and Sour Halibut or a Mr. Cheng’s Noodles in pork or veal bean sauce. In any case, enjoying a meal here would be your good fortune—no cookie necessary. 2305 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, 305.674.0250; philippechow.com.
