50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near South Miami

“The best Lebanese food in town!!!“

“The food is amazing!! Go and find out for yourself - you won't be disappointed. Note that one of their specialties is codfish (bacalao/bacalhau) and it can be spiny... can't get around that. Still delicious. Also had their Old Lisbon Douro Valley white wine, which went very well with our meal. For dessert, the Delicia de Fatima and a limoncello sorbet with strawberries (can't remember the name) that were just wonderful.“

“Love their food and amazing service. The meat was so juicy and well marinated. Every bite is truly satisfying. Highly recommended!“

“I really love this restaurant, the food is amazing and the service is AMAZING, we know all the team and we have established a great relationship, they know what we like and treat us like at home. I would come back just to get treated the way we get treated here. 100% recommended. The sumac sauce is ADDICTIVE!!“

The rest of the stuff were also very nice! My next trip to Miami I will definitely being coming to the restaurant multiple times! The food was actually the best meal my friends and I had for our whole trip and as I said everyone was super nice!“

“Motek is my absolute favorite Mediterranean restaurant in South Florida. It has it all from the ambiance, to the decor, to the delicious food. This restaurant is set in the heart of Coral Gables boasting a natural earthy theme accented with Mediterranean-style decor. The restaurant is centered with a bar and tree branching over to the seats. The interior is spacious with many seating options including booths, tables, and bar seats. They also have outdoor seating but it is limited.In terms of food, you cannot go wrong with anything you order. Menu items come out hot and fresh filled with so much spice and flavor. The breads are soft and chewy, the dips are the perfect texture, and the falafel is fresh and crunchy. My party ordered the falafel pita, Spain flat pita, hummus, babaganoush, and extra Lafah bread. Every single item was to die for. This being said, prices are on the higher end but this is an upscale restaurant so it was already expected.The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They were able to give good recommendations based on our needs. Parking is easy to find on the street or in a local garage.If there is one place you are looking to try in South Florida, Motek is where you should go!“

“Wonderful atmosphere here. Food excellent. Definitely interested in going back. The dressing on the fennel/romaine salad was a favorite. Drinks were great. Kabob had great flavors. Pasta was a bit extreme on the creamy/rich side but still good.“

“Such an amazing placeThe vibe of this place is very modern and chic but doesn’t lose the authentic middle eastern touch with that being said the food was to die forThe Antellion Pottery was my fav dish 10/10Totally recommend &most Definately going back“

“Beautiful scenery, very relaxing, as if being in nature.“

“My group had a wonderful time at ZOI Restaurant today lunch time. There were 10 of us celebrating 2 Birthday’s. From the large free parking lot to the entrance, gorgeous orchids growing on the lush trees greet you. The outdoor garden patio seating area where we dined is magical, and the seats are so plush and comfortable. It’s an unexpected botanical garden of palms, cycads, orchids, and bromeliads surrounding large lagoons. The Mediterranean /Greek food is wonderfully delicious, especially the variety of Mezzes that I had. The grilled Octopus and Lamb Chops were sensational. ZOI has developed the perfect mix of food, intimacy, and culinary expertise. Management spoiled us with pampering and great service. This place was so much fun, we didn’t want to leave.“

“Great food! They are really accurate and reliable when catering food, even for large group. Food is delicious and reasonably priced.“

“We just ate an amazing dinner. Wow! Very authentic Lebanese food. The people were very friendly and helpful . We had the trio with a side of hummus. And, of course, for dessert, we had the baklava and rice pudding. The portions are great for sharing. We’re so happy to have you in our neighborhood and absolutely plan to return. Thanks for the hospitality. See you soon.“

“Lira Beirut is a good Lebanon restaurant with tasty food.The venue was a bit too loud and even-though our waitress was very attentive and helpful , she kept forgetting bringing our drinks.We will definitely visit again but ask for a quiet table this time.“

“We are from Mexico City , but I lived in Miami since 2003. I think mexico has the best service in general when you go out to eat . Someone recommend us Zeru here in Miami so I went with my father and his wife . We loved it ! The food was delicious, and so were the drinks . And thank you for the impecable service ! I miss that from my country ! And here I feel home .“

“I can't believe this place wasn't busier on a Saturday night!! The food was exceptional. So many great choices to choose from with amazing flavors! The atmosphere is adorable and Instagram worthy. Like most Miami places they play some beats while dining and have candles lit on each table to provide a nice intimate setting. The service was fabulous most of the time but towards the end it lacked and was extremely slow. Surprised as there was only one or two other tables if that. I was given the dessert menu and then waited almost 40 min. At that point it was late and I needed to leave so I grabbed the check. In which I had to flag someone down for. But overall I would totally come back. The food is so worth repeating and I'd love to try more dishes!“

“Great culinary experience with lots of Mediterranean delicacies! Excellent service“

“While staying at Hotel Ponce de Leon in Coral Gables, Florida, I walked less than 5 minutes to Lili's a Spanish restaurant. I settled on a plate of salmon, asparagus, sparkling water and fresh bread! My dessert was a marvelous cappuccino con canela (with cinnamon). Enrique was my server and we talked about Miami, Spain and the Great Repblic of Texas. Everyone is so cordial in Coral Gables and I enjoy my adventures in Florida. There are wines/tapas/quesos/paella and more. LIVE MUSIC EVERY FRIDAY! Expand your horizon and step into Spain at 1915 Ponce de Leon/Coral Gables. Relaxing. Romantic. I love sitting at the bar.Parking: Much better to park a few streets down. Walking is ideal.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible.“

“Best wine bar in Miami“

“Was staying in the design district and wanted a place within walking distance. Was pleasantly surprised with Nude Pita. The owner was very friendly and helped me navigate the menu. I liked that they had vegan and non vegan options. I settled on a chicken wrap with feta that was very good. My wife got the same and was happy as well.“

“The best daily option for: fantastic Mediterranean menù with daily special, great atmosphere and efficient service with attention to any detail. I highly recommend “Costa Med Bistro”!“

“First truly Italian restaurant, like being on the Amalfi coast. Everything was great, did someone say in another review that the wines are expensive? Not at all... you have to know about wines, very good wines at a good price for Miami. The best pizza in Miami by far, the Florentine steak for 2, we had it for 4. We loved the fresh prawns...“

“Dined in with one other person. We ordered the prime kabob with pita bread and a few extra sauces. Everything was great. The steak and chicken were cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly. The basmati rice and the roasted vegetables were delicious. I was looking forward to eating here all day, and it was definitely worth it.“

“This place was great. The owner served me and a few locals came in, they had a lively discussion on local small business. The food was a welcome healthy meal in the middle of vacation. Had the Veggie combo and it was enough for 2 meals - very generous portions. Added the baklava - made fresh that day - was delicious! Price was great too. I would go back for sure.“

“We were greeted when we entered and given an overview of how to order and all the menu items. Ordering was very easy, and all items could be customized. We scanned our drink items that we obtained from the adjacent cooler and paid with our mobile device. We found a table and waited for our order to be ready. We ordered the chicken shawarma and short rib pockets with sides of fries. The pockets had so much flavor, and we should have split an order of fries. All the staff were courteous and were busy keeping the tables clean. We will definitely come back if we are in the area.“

“I found it to be a harmonious restaurant.. The food is good.. To eat cod they are very good.. I ate a fish and honestly for the price it didn't tell me anything, but my family ate cod and it was very delicious. I tried them and it really was Very delicious.. I don't want to lower their score since everything is fresh, but they do take a little while between each dish.. In the end after 2 hours we had to ask for the bill.. Otherwise I have no complaints..?♥️?“

“Loved the place, excellent service, food was delish“

“Came across this hidden gem while I was in the Kendal area. Was in the area looking for food and gave it a shot. Amazing authentic gyros ! Would definitely recommend. I had this chicken and lamb gyro with fries. Please try both if you can. Service was great, super friendly and fast service. Area is very quite and chill at night, the day time might be busier due to the truck being in the lot.“

“I came on vacation to Miami and we went out to eat with my friends, we had the privilege of being served by Zeima, she was our server all night. The very expensive and beautiful quality that he had in serving us was truly spectacular. If you go to this place just ask for her to serve you. It will make your night and your dinner incredible!“

“Amazing Experience“

“EVERYTHING was perfect. Food, atmosphere, WAITRESS THE BEST. Desserts 10. Kebab����. Owner explained with patience and time all my questions regarding the coffee and the tea. Eat delucious and relaxing�����“

“Some of the best food you can get on the west Kendall area“

“I don't believe we've been to any miami restaurant with better staff. Food was awesome and exceptional, but our servers were beyond amazing, with a very nice touch from different managers visiting our table multiple times to make sure everything was to our liking. We felt special. We will be back whenever we are in Miami.“

“I am a shawarma and döner professor. I ordered the lamb shawarma with salad and it was really good. I wanted to get some fries but the oil was worse than my cars engine oil, so I skipped fries. Even the temperature of the coke was good, not warm! Be careful with the hot sauce. Its really hot. Lamb shawarma got excellent points.“

“wow!! okay genuinely i never leave reviews but this place is amazing. the atmosphere is clean, rustic, and relaxing. the food is a great bang for your buck, and there are so many plant based options. my friend and i split a $17 humongous vegan bowl and it filled us up in the healthiest way. if i didnt live so far i'd be coming here all the time :)“

“Hidden gems ?. Nice and quiet, very romantic. Even if there are other people dining, you still feel like you have the whole place to yourself. The staff have great attitude and attention to detail. The food is delectable, mouth watering. I recently celebrated my birthday there. It was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this restaurant ?“

“Love the spread out dining area that this Mr.Mandolin offers, it’s perfect for conversing both inside and out. The menu, although flavorful, is fairly limited in selections so factor that into your visit. #mrmandolin #fresh #greek #atmosphere #miami #dadecounty #floridaParking: Parking is located around the complex which is located within the Vegabound Hotel“

“A true Iberian experience. The Catalonian owners have maintained their authentic cuisine. From the moment our food arrived we were in Spain again.Vegetarian options: Artichokes, mushroomsParking: Parking in the rear was excellent when we arrived on a Thursday night.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp the access is wide and open air dining makes it suitable for wheelchair access.“

“This is the closest to my mothers Greek cooking, although she swore hers was better (typical Greek ). They are friendly, and it is a nice comfortable place. I love it!!❣️“

“Mensch is my favorite spot for when I want a healthy lunch or dinner but don't feel like cooking. Everything is made from scratch and you can tell!! Great vegetarian options--I like the mushroom bowl--the smoky flavor they achieve with the mushroom is out of this world!“
