50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Pinecrest

“My wife and I love Rice Mediterranean kitchen so we decided to go to a location we've not been before. Just like there other locals this one got on all the important points. Food, atmosphere and service were fantastic. This particular spot used to be fine too Yucas, a restaurant we frequented before also. It was nostalgic being in this spot but truth be told Rice Mediterranean has brought this spot back to like with their open design and all around great cuisine and staff.“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. I always bring my friends here because we always get the best service and the most delicious food. And their desserts are my absolute favorite“

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

“�% recommended“

“I recently stopped by SHA Wynwood with my wife. We both went with the Risotto Funghi Porcini with lamb, and overall—this dish delivered.

The risotto was rich, creamy, and packed with deep umami flavor from the porcini mushrooms. Every bite felt well-balanced and comforting without being heavy. The lamb paired nicely with the dish and complemented the earthiness of the risotto beautifully.

If I had to nitpick, the lamb came out a bit closer to medium-well than medium, which slightly missed the mark for me. That said, it was still flavorful and didn’t take away from the overall experience.

The vibe, the food quality, and the execution make SHA Wynwood a spot I’d absolutely recommend—especially if you’re into elevated comfort dishes with bold flavors.“

“Best Shawarma in Florida. HANDS DOWN!!“

“Delicious!! Lamb is tender and full of flavor. Tabbouleh is the best we’ve had. Chicken skewers were very tender and juicy, the green pepper and tomato paired nicely. The hummus was creamy, silky almost. We ate everything and are typically light eaters. We will be back to try shakshuka.“

“This restaurant is really a solid 4½ stars. The keftah and chicken tawouk were phenomenal—perfectly spiced and cooked. The falafel was clearly made fresh to order, but unfortunately it was undercooked. While the outside was crispy, the inside was still raw, which affected the overall flavor. It wasn’t a huge issue, but it was noticeable and resulted in a slightly bitter after taste.
The chicken shawarma was cooked perfectly, but it lacked flavor entirely. There was also no sauce to make up for it, so my guest ended up not eating it.
That said, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was memorable. The restaurant is beautifully themed and truly feels like an authentic Lebanese dining experience. Overall, they’ve done a great job—but for the price, there’s room for a bit more consistency and refinement.“

“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!“

“Rise Mediterranean in Brickell is easily one of my favorite spots in Miami. The moment you walk in, you feel the warm, stylish Mediterranean vibe — clean, modern, and classy. The staff is always friendly and quick, and the service feels genuinely professional.

The food is incredible: fresh ingredients, rich flavors, and perfect presentation. Their grilled meats, hummus, and seafood dishes are all top-tier. Portions are generous and worth the price. I also love that the atmosphere works for everything — a casual lunch, a date, or even a business meeting.

Located right in Brickell, it’s convenient and has that upscale Miami energy without feeling pretentious. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for high-quality Mediterranean food in a beautiful setting“

“Excellent food, service and in few days a week music…..the owner “Luis” so pleasant and runs his place very profesional. Very nice place to have dinner, celebrate a birthday or any occasion, it is a family and friends place. One of our family favorite!“

“Comida muy rica y lugar agradable“

“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!“

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

“Food here was amazing we have smoke Salmon for appetizer was really good then we have a short rib and corvina with risotto I have to said is one on the best rissotto in town I would recommend the chorizo risotto is out of the world, We came back to

“Amazingly friendly and welcoming energy not to mention the creative and delicious home inspired dishes that keeps you wanting more! Definitely recommend to check them out and specially Nick who’s smile is contagious 😃“

“Just happened to find this little gem on our way to the hotel late at night — and I’m so glad we did!

I honestly can’t believe how good the food is. We’ve been to Greece many times because we love authentic Greek cuisine, and this is the first time in North America I’ve tasted something truly comparable.

Absolutely amazing food for unbelievable prices.“

“We had an amazing experience at Crazy About You! The food was absolutely great everything was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. You can really tell they put care into every dish.

Our server, Ernesto, made the night even better. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever being overbearing. He checked in at the perfect times and gave great recommendations.

Overall, great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Amazing mediterranean food! Very fresh and good portions. The owner Danny and his team are great people, going above and beyond for their customers by providing excellent service. I hardly ever see an owner actively participate in the ground floor operations, assuring quality of service. Hats off to this establishment. 10/10 will come back when in the area!“

“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.“

“Amazing food and the owner is just as amazing. Very friendly, he stopped what he was doing to get me and my girl a table and chairs even though I said it's OK because we were taking it to go and he was very busy. But he insisted and also gave us bottled water (which he didn't charge for) as well. This man's customer service skills should be on a video for all in the service industry to learn from. His ingredients were all fresh and freshly chopped, he gave us samples of the meat we were eating and it was delicious and well seasoned. The food presentation was amazing and very neat. I had the lamb gyro and it was hands down the best one I've ever had in my life. If you nearby and you like gyros you will be robbing yourself if you done try this. Oh and he gave me a discount because I came to him the first night and he was out of gryos.. i wasn't mad though because it was late like right before he closed. This man apologized and told me if I come back he would take care of me and he really did so I gave him double what he ask for because I'm not looking for a handout but to be that nice and cook food that good this man is the truth.. I don't usually write whole books for reviews but it was just that good“

“I've been a loyal customer of Old Lisbon for many years. While the food was as good as always, the atmosphere felt tense during my last visit. Management appeared overly vigilant with the staff, which seemed to affect the quality of service and overall dining experience.“

“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.“

“Dinner was excellent. We shared the grilled octopus, delicious. Also shared the snapper in sauce with sides of plantain and vegetables. Everything was delicious. The owner was friendly and made us welcome. The restaurant has recently reopened so it was quiet. Good luck to them, they deserve to do well.“

“The food was delicious, and the staff was very friendly. Every person stopped to answer our questions and didn't seem bothered. It was great to finally be able to taste the food we've been watching people prepare on the show for years!“

“Everything about this restaurant from the food to the service was excellent. I ordered the Lamb chops and I must say, it was cooked to perfection. The view on the balcony is as beautiful as it gets. My waiter, Seneca, was very kind and attentive. I will definitely visit again.“

“It’s the best restaurant ever �������������“
