Ivette Lopez — known as Ivie the Foodie — is one of Miami's most prolific food creators, with Instagram coverage that has become a practical guide to eating across South Florida. Based in the Miami–Fort Lauderdale area, she maps restaurants from Miami Beach and Coral Gables to Doral, Hialeah, Homestead, Weston, and Fort Lauderdale, with the kind of neighborhood depth locals actually need.
Her highest-rated picks capture Miami's range: Joe's Stone Crab for seafood, Miami Slice and Macchialina for Italian, Flagler St Bakery and Buccan Sandwich Shop when she wants something quick and excellent, Hausmash in Weston for burgers, and Cry Baby Creamery for dessert. Cuban, Puerto Rican, Persian-American, Peruvian, Vietnamese, and Argentine BBQ all run through her feed — evidence that she treats Miami as the international food city it is.
Ivette also runs The Hungry Agency, bringing a content creator's eye and a marketer's clarity to every recommendation. She is one of the most prolific tastemakers covering South Florida on Social Foodie, and her profile is the place to start if you want a Miami dining map built by someone who eats there constantly.
