45 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Miami Beach

“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.“

“The best experience ever ! A special thanks to Salma (waitress) for recommendations on menu (don’t listen to negative reviews ok the food here you just have to ask waiter everyone has different tastes but once you explain what foods you like they accommodate perfectly. Yes it’s expensive but you get what you pay for - amazing food and unbelievable unbeatable experience of music dance and Vibe (thank you Mr DJ!) If you are a sit at home person stay home but if you don’t mind spending money and having loads of fun come here !! Of course how can I forget to shout out a warm hug to Keith - thanks for making it your mission to go above and beyond every time for all parties concerned ? ?“

“buenísimo todo, excelente.“

“Very friendly staff and good atmosphere! We had the Cuban sandwich and avacado toast and some cold draft peroni beers! They were very accommodating to our needs and sat us away from a nice family with kids so we could have private adult conversation without disturbing them! ( it can be noisy on the beachfront cafes so you have to talk a bit louder!) overall very nice place!“

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

“The drinks were perfect, the wine list extensive and the food delicious. The rack of lamb was done to perfection and the pastas divine. Highly recommend going. Can’t wait to go back“

“Visiting from Indianapolis, I am so impressed by Motek Miami Beach, I don't think there is bad food at this place! The hummus is the smoothest I have ever tasted in any restaurant, not even Fadi’s from Houston! And the laffa bread is so so good! Please open a location in Indianapolis! 😍 and Mannuel,our server, he was so sweet and made excellent recommendations!“

“Best seafood and the deserts are amazing too ❤️“

“This has been one of the best Miami Spice menus around town. Everything was delicious from our two appetizers to the perfectly cooked steak and delicious rice. Our server Chris was also excellent. I highly recommend it you will not be disappointed. The value is excellent. The only complaint I have is that they charge you $3 p/p for tap water. Never experienced that before since water is regularly free. But other than that it’s a fantastic restaurant“

“I'll start by saying their stuffed burrata is the best I've ever had. They also have a genuinely euphoric Euphoria Spritz which my friend ordered multiple times during our stay at the Lennox. The atmosphere is a lovely floral-cute-chic vibe and they have nice indoor and covered outdoor seating. The service is very attentive (perhaps a bit too much) and the food is overall delicious with decent portions. One thing to note: we were not verbally notified about the automatic 20% gratuity (though it is listed on the bill), so just FYI for everyone else who might be the type to still be deep in conversation while paying 😅“

“We had a wonderful time last week here, thanks to Smirnoff Ice for the win! Would also like to give a shout out to Ali, one of the bell persons! She was so sweet, helpful and remembered my name every time she saw me. Great people work here :)“

“Great food and and amazing view“

“Strawberry Moon is an artist dream. Great food and aesthetically pleasing! 🔥🔥🔥“

“Great brunch and audience… jazz music is excellent“

“5 Stars – A Culinary Gem with Soulful Hospitality

The Drexel is an absolute treasure. From the moment I walked in, the romantic ambiance and warm, welcoming staff set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. These folks get food and hospitality on a deep level.

The chicken breast was perfectly cooked—juicy, flavorful, and satisfying. But the garden salad? Hands down, the best I’ve ever had. Crisp, fresh, and bursting with flavor, it was a masterpiece in simplicity.

The mussels were a delightful surprise—plump, tender, and swimming in a broth so good I nearly asked for a straw. And the Neapolitan pizza? Next-level. Wood-fired perfection with a crust that dreams are made of.

Every dish was dialed in. The staff was knowledgeable, genuinely friendly, and made me feel like a welcomed guest, not just a customer. I’ll absolutely be back soon. Highly recommend for a cozy date night or anytime you want to be reminded of how good dining out can really be.“

“The food was very good. My husband and I were pleased to get a table for four. I was also seated immediately even though my husband arrived a few minutes later. Our head waiter, Vajic came over to ask me if he could get me anything. I asked about a mocktail. He suggested one based on the fruits I like and it was perfect. We ordered from the Miami spice menu. The appetizers were very good. The other servers were very good, but Vajic took the time to describe each item included in my Meze platter. He Our main courses were very good as was the dessert. Good food will bring you back to a restaurant, but I believe your server can make or break your experience. Vajic made ours good for sure.“

“We had a lovely family meal. There was a good variety of choice in the main and wine menu. The food was excellent quality which was reflected in the higher end price for the meal. The staff were attentive, the setting was beautiful and a lovely relaxed atmosphere“

“Good food and great setting!!“

“The service at this place is fantastic. I discovered it after a Pilates class, and I was blown away by the amazing food and service. As a fine-dining waitress in Miami, I know that South Beach is often filled with tourist traps, but this restaurant is not one of them. Both the food and service are impeccable, and the prices are well below the area's average. I highly recommend it—10 out of 10. It truly is a gem.“

“"I had incredibly delicious dishes that perfectly suited my taste. The owner of the restaurant is very friendly, and the waitstaff took great care of us during our time here. I claim this is the best restaurant, and I absolutely recommend it."

“I was very impressed, especially by the portions for the price! The Gyro Platter ($16.00) was great, loaded with fresh salad, lovely yellow rice, and loads of meat! The roasted whole chile pepper was a very nice touch and brought the heat! The hot sauce it came with was on the salty side, not inedible, but if you're sensitive to sodium, I would skip it. Quick, simple, and quality 👌 I'll be returning.“

“Great customer service and bartender, bartender Maria!“

“My gf was visiting from New York and we were looking for a Mediterranean restaurant and we stumbled upon this place! This place is going to be the most popular spot in the future! Be prepared to be transported to the Mediterranean Gods of taste! Thank you so much for such a great option to the Ocean Blvd trashy food!“

“Kalypso Beach felt like a hidden gem in Miami Beach with a beautiful oceanfront setting, delicious Mediterranean-inspired dishes, and excellent service. The vibrant atmosphere and refreshing cocktails make it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal by the pool. Highly recommended for both locals and visitors!“

“I was there two weeks ago Excellent service and food!! Five stars“

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

“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!“

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

“This was our first time here, the atmosphere and ambience was spectacular. We had the pizza and it’s definitely one of the best in Miami. Anise was out waitresses ans she was very kind & provided great service. We will definitely be back!“

“Great experience and delicious food World class service“

“This is a lovely authentic Italian restaurant. They welcomed us with big smiles. The food and service were great. We had a wonderful overall experience. We truly like our waiter Francesco very much. He was very attentive and kind. Husband and wife from Sarasota, FL“

“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 loved the vegetarian plate. The salad and tabouli were delicious. I loved the fresh cucumber, falafel were good (but I prefer a tzatziki sauce with it), hummus portion was on the small side but tasted good, rice was plain boring white rice (I'm used to getting a Mediterranean style Dill rice with my vegetarian plate) I really enjoyed the Cigar Rolls which says they are phyllo dough stuffed with feta cheese and parsley. (There was no parsley in them but still were great) and lastly the stuffed grape leaves were decent. Not bad but not great. Overall 8.7/10 recommend.. I love that they offer pizza and other non-traditional Mediterranean bites for more "picky-eaters". I would try their gyros plate next time with a larger portion of salad and tabouli. Yum!“

“What a fun bar! This spot between the pool and beach is perfect for a vacation. The DJ was playing great party music, and the bar staff would sometimes spray CO2 cannons just like a Miami club. The Miami Vice was very refreshing, and the staff was attentive. La Cote is a great time.“

“Finding anywhere well priced with GOOD food is hard in Miami Beach. AMAZING FOOD and I went several times as its so well priced and fresh and tasty.

Couldn't find better without paying hundreds of dollars. Go here and you won't regret it.“

“Dishes, delicious delicious and great on price“

“💯 % recommended this beautiful place. I was here for my birthday and had a wonderful night. Thanks for all! If you come in Miami, don’t miss this place! 🤍“

“Lekker gegeten, de beste homemade moussaka ooit. Vriendelijke bediening. Adresje om te onthouden.“

“My first stop every time I’m in the area. Beautiful restaurant, amazing people, & the absolute most delicious food!“

“I love all of it!! Me and my brother go at least once every week to have spaghetti alle vongole… in order to try and not miss our moms dishes ❤️❤️❤️“

“Love it! I got gyro combo 5 red peppers and cheddar! Just exactly what I was looking for! Very tasty! And the staff very kind and friendly! Recommended! I will stop by next weekend.“

“Very tasty Israeli food, the service was good and the atmosphere in the place was fun
On the other hand, the prices are expensive and the portions are not big enough for such prices (especially the first courses)
Still recommend“

“Great pool for a 5-Star Pool Experience with Amazing Service and Incredible Music!

I visited The Nautilus caban pool last weekend and was blown away by the incredible atmosphere, top-notch service, and fantastic DJ music. From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming and attentive, making sure every guest had everything they needed. Whether it was refreshing drinks, comfortable loungers, or quick towel service, the team went above and beyond to ensure a perfect day by the pool.

The pool itself was clean, well-maintained, and had a great layout, with plenty of space to swim or lounge. The overall ambiance was upscale yet fun, making it a must-visit spot for anyone looking for a fantastic day out.

If you're searching for a pool with great service, a lively atmosphere, and unbeatable music, this is the place to be. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“We had the spinach wrap and a salad and both was great. Too bad they don’t have an outdoor seating. Two tiny tables plus chairs in front of the shop would ve been amazing and add to their charm. Unfortunately its more like a take away. You can sit inside but because of the freezing aircon we couldn’t really feel as cozy as the vibes actually are. It’s a really cute and cool place and the food is lovely. Loved the freshness and especially the sauce that comes along the wrap - omg 🤤 hope to be back. I unfortunately didn’t take pics of our food as we were so starving. Check it out yourself when you are around. Its worth it. Updated from previous review on 2021-11-21“
