50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Key Biscayne

“The hard part is entrance. You go through a gate, to the end to a guest parking then enter the building and turn right then left. After a confusing entrance there is a very quiet restaurant with nice spacing, great for having conversations. Server was great and helpful with choosing appetizers, entrees and wine. Pasta was on-point and very balanced. All in all, a great place for both a romantic date or a business dinner. Will return.“

“Todo Riquísimo, al lado de la playa, un ambiente muy agradable, y tienen música en vivo los Sábados de 3 a 5pm un grupo de rumbas flamencas, muy bueno. Ideal para pasar el domingo“

“Absolutely loved our experience at Jass Kitchen! Wine, food, decor, coffee and music were all amazing. Hope to visit again when we’re in the area!“

“Awful. Rude staff, poor service, overpriced and pretty sure they discriminate racially. Nice views and design does not make up for it.“

“We had a great time at Abbale Televivian Kitchen. From our entertaining server Ash to the delicious food we couldn't have asked for a better night.“

“WOW!!!

This place is an absolute gem.

We shared several dishes and every single one was better than the last. The cigars, arayes, challah schnitzel sandwich, shawarma on laffa, and the knafeh were all phenomenal.

As Israelis, we know Mediterranean food, and this was simply outstanding. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and made with care.

The entire experience was amazing from start to finish.

I also want to give a special shout-out to Ryan, our server. Ryan was absolutely incredible. You can genuinely tell that he loves what he does and takes pride in where he works. Every recommendation he gave us was a perfect choice. He checked on us throughout the meal, always made sure our drinks were full, kept us smiling and laughing, and treated us with exceptional kindness and professionalism.

Ryan was a huge part of what made this experience so memorable. Employees like him are hard to find, and he deserves recognition for the outstanding job he does. He represents your restaurant in the best possible way.

Thank you for such a memorable evening. We will definitely be back and will be recommending Motek to everyone we know.

“Had an amazing late lunch at News Cafe. It was just the thing to start off my Miami trip! Had the Chicken Paillard which came in a very generous portion with roasted potatoes and an arugula salad and it was super tasty and fresh. Shout out to my server Paula who was friendly, attentive, and personable!“

“One of the best restaurants in Miami..loved it“

“Good food and great setting!!“

“Best Shawarma in Florida. HANDS DOWN!!“

“Branja is a solid option!
There is not much around the area, branja and another restaurant near it.

Venue is very pretty with a great glass ceiling, there are a few small businesses around.

If you book via the reservation app, restaurant is what gives you space under the nice glass roof.

Restaurant is part of Miami spice.

The short rib is a great dish and special mention to the schnitzel that was amazing: crispy and juicy!“

“Stopped in for a late lunch on a saturday. Plenty of tables available, great atmosphere, nice background music that allowed you to have a conversation. We ordered the Mediterranean salad and the pistachio encrusted salmon and shared both. They were both excellent. We did not try the cocktails. We would definitely go back and recommend it.“

A special thanks to waitress, Aysenem, who was incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive throughout my visit. She made sure everything was perfect and provided outstanding service with a genuine smile.“

“My girlfriend and I recently celebrated our anniversary at Lira, and the experience was truly exceptional from beginning to end.

What stood out the most was how warmly we were treated. The entire staff made us feel less like customers and more like family. The owner personally came to our table, introduced himself, and took the time to make sure everything was perfect. That personal touch made our evening even more special.

As a wonderful surprise, they generously provided complimentary champagne to help us celebrate our anniversary. It’s rare to find a restaurant that goes above and beyond in such a genuine and thoughtful way.

The atmosphere was beautiful, the service was attentive and professional, and every detail reflected a commitment to hospitality and guest satisfaction. Experiences like this are what turn a dinner into a memorable occasion.

Thank you to the entire team at Lira for making our anniversary so special. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for outstanding food, exceptional service, and a truly welcoming environment.“

“The food is delicious and so fresh. They have a couple of tables inside to sit at. The place is very clean and the service is excellent. I can highly recommend Mint Beirut!“

“My husband and I were just in Miami for a getaway and ran across this restaurant near our hotel. They serve fresh delicious counter service Mediterranean food at a fabulous price!! We will definitely go back next time we're in the area.“

“It was so spectacular! I ate there twice in 3 days!“

“Great customer service and bartender, bartender Maria!“

“ate at the IL Bolognese restaurant for two days and was pleasantly surprised by the quality.
On the first night, the linguine seafood pasta was excellent — fresh, flavorful, and I finished the whole plate. On the second day, I tried the lobster ravioli, which was rich and delicious but had a very large portion that was hard to finish. I also had tiramisu, which was creamy and satisfying.
Overall, the food is above average for a hotel restaurant, especially the seafood dishes, but portions are quite big.“

“We were a party of 6 (7 if you count the dog) and enjoyed all items ordered; healthy and great quality produce.“

“I’ve been going to Taula when two young chefs opened it. Loved their concept of fresh meats cooked on vertical spits! You had the choice of yummy options but their best were crispy potatoes! Then ownership changed but fortunately still kept recipes going for the options and sauces, thank goodness.

However, when I went today, the options like Eggplant wasn’t available for the Mediterranean box but I wasn’t told. I looked at the list of options for Mediterranean box on the revolving screen and that’s how I discovered it. And list was different from printed menu copy. So, just be aware.

They still give you tons of everything as well as chicken. Chicken and other meats were precooked in a heated container. There’s enough for two people for $17, not bad for Miami!“

“I really enjoyed Motek. Overall, everything was great: the food was delicious, the hummus was excellent, the service was very good, and I really liked the concept and atmosphere of the restaurant.

The only downside was the lamb shawarma. I expected the meat to be very tender and soft, but unfortunately it was a bit overcooked and dry. That is the reason I am giving 4 stars.

Other than that, the restaurant is truly wonderful, and I had a great experience overall.“

“Prices are good too. It's a restaurant you can go to for the view in a second swipe“

“Great experience at Amalia Café in Miami Beach ☀️

Martin is always kind and attentive — it’s a real pleasure to be welcomed by him every morning. The interior décor is soft and relaxing, and the terrace on Collins Avenue is perfect for enjoying the Miami sunshine.

I truly enjoyed having breakfast here every morning during my stay. Highly recommended!“

“Great experience and delicious food World class service“

“Alvyn, our server IS the best. !!! Wonderful suggestions topped with fabulous service. The food is as good as the service.“

“Great food. Friendly staff. Very nice environment. A must go place.“

“Friendly service, great place for a date“

“Second visit to FUGATO. And for a second time we were overwhelmed by the quality of the food offered by this restaurant.
Service is second to none and all that comets together in a quiet friendly atmosphere for the site.
Great all around“

“The food here is incredible! The best we have had since arriving in America 7 days ago. It is well worth the price, the flavour and quality is amazing. I was prepared to come back again for dinner the same day I had lunch here it’s that good. The staff are very friendly and service is great.“

“After being recommended this place from a friend, we were hoping it would be the goto location in Miami Lakes, although pricey. Unfortunately, the meat was raw and the onions were rotten. Will not return.“

“I had such an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. You can really tell they put care into every dish. What made the experience even better was the service. Lulu my waiter, was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. She made sure everything was perfect and had such a warm, friendly attitude that made us feel right at home.
Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“I recently eat from Rice Mediterranean Kitchen on Alton Road, and it was a fantastic choice! The food was fresh, full of flavor, and perfectly packed for takeout.

A special shoutout to Natalia for her exceptional service! She was super friendly and helpful, making the whole ordering process a breeze.

If you’re looking for delicious Mediterranean flavors to go, Rice Mediterranean Kitchen is definitely worth a visit!“

“Great Hospitality, food, drinks and ambiance!“

“Sun, Salt & Watermelon 🍉☀️

Miami heat, poolside shade, and watermelon slices dusted in Tajín honestly the perfect way to pretend the world is on pause. Between the snacks, the sunshine, and everyone stealing fries off each other’s plates, this turned into one of those long, lazy lunches you never want to end. 🌴💦

What We Ordered at Bahía:
• Watermelon Tajín Plate – Ice-cold slices with Tajín, chamoy, and watermelon candy. The ultimate summer bite. 🍉🌶️

Come for the sun. Stay for the snacks. Leave with watermelon-sticky fingers and Miami still on your mind.“

“If you’re a margarita lover, you absolutely must try the drinks at The Patio at Continuum! My friends and I had an incredible time sampling a variety of margaritas, and each one was better than the last. The Single Patron Silver margarita was a standout, perfectly balanced with a refreshing kick that left us wanting more. The Classic margarita had that authentic taste you crave, while the Skinny margarita was light and delicious, making it guilt-free fun.

The ambiance is fantastic, and the staff was friendly, adding to the overall experience. Whether you're sipping on a drink with friends or enjoying a day out, The Patio is the perfect spot for margarita enthusiasts. Trust me, you won't regret it!“

“I recently stayed at the JW Marriott Marquis Miami for a work event and discovered an absolute gem right inside the hotel - Boulud Sud Miami. While there are so many great dining options around Brickell, I wasn’t feeling up to venturing out after a long day and decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did.

I had one of the best dinners I’ve had in Miami sitting right at the bar. The Greek salad was incredibly light, fresh, and flavorful and the portion was huge. The branzino was absolutely outstanding and cooked to perfection. To top it all off, I ordered a beautiful dessert featuring pistachio pudding, baklava, and cheesecake that was every bit as delicious as it looked.

The service was truly top notch from start to finish. Every detail felt thoughtful and polished, and you can tell the staff genuinely cares about creating a great experience for guests. I enjoyed it so much that I went back the very next day for their three course lunch special. The mussels were perfection in a light white wine sauce, paired with amazing bread that was impossible not to dip into every last bite. The chicken cutlet was fantastic, and the flan was decadent, elegant, and the perfect ending to the meal.

There are plenty of amazing restaurants in the Brickell area, but this is absolutely a must visit when in Miami. Huge kudos to the chef and the entire staff for delivering such consistently exceptional food and hospitality.“

“Amazing Persian food with authentic flavors! Everything was amazing , perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. The koobideh was juicy, the rice was fluffy, and the salad very fresh.
Friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere made the experience even better. Definitely coming back!“

“Healthy food and fresh ingredients. Definitely will be back !!!!!“

“Ww went ti Cava while we were visiting Miami. That was my first time eating there and it was so delicious and felt so healthy. When I got back to Atlanta I had to find out if we had one. Sure enough we do. I will be visiting the one in Peachtree City as soon as I have some free time.“

“Wonderful French/Mediterranean restaurant in South Beach. I've eaten there on two separate occasions and both experiences were top. With the beautifully designed in and outdoor spaces, a warm, relaxing atmosphere you know immediately you are in a special place. The terrace itself is on the Bay with the gorgeous views of Miami and its skyline. The food on both nights was excellent (duck one night salmon, Greek salad the second) with beautiful presentations, freshness and superb flavors. And that goes for the dishes of others in our group. The deserts we tried were excellent, specially the Chocolate Sensation!! Service is excellent, just what you'd expect from a restaurant of this caliber. For instance, one of the nights was windy and cool and they offered us warm blankets or moving inside. On a scale of 1 - 100, I would give this restaurant a 90.“
