Chefs of the Caribbean
Finding it
Chefs of the Caribbean is in Marketplace 2nd Level Departures by Gate D-29 in North Terminal at Miami International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.
North Terminal has 51 places to eat and 60 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 4am.
Hours against the security queue
Across the week, MIA security runs longest around 5pm at a median of 16 minutes, and lightest around 11pm at 2 minutes.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's MIA wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
Chefs of the Caribbean occupies a spot in the Marketplace on the North Terminal's second level, by Gate D-29, across the corridor from Lilly's Munchies and Misha's Cupcakes. It runs a shorter day than many of its terminal neighbors, opening at 10 a.m. and closing at 7 p.m., so it covers midday and early-evening departures but not the first bank of the morning or late-night arrivals. The island-chef format is the draw here rather than the coffee and pastry counters around it, giving this stretch of the Marketplace an actual sit-down cuisine option. No other Chefs of the Caribbean location appears at MIA.
Other options in North Terminal
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
