49 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Pinecrest

“There was no one else but me and all servers simply ignored me even though I said good morning verbally and after 5 minutes I signed to them.The older lady did acknowledge my presence then and I purchased $129 food. Food is good cut there is room for coaching servers to acknowledge customers. Go for the food not the service.“

“I have come here a few times for drinks but today was the first time I ate in the dining room. The food and service was amazing. Marco was a fantastic waiter. He always ensured our waters were filled and regularly checked in on us at a frequency that was not annoying. The food was way above what I expected. Living in brickell I have accepted that most places focus on presentation of the food rather than the quality. Here all three meals were highly rated. The star for me was the hueco estralledos. The chicken and waffles were very filling for my companions and they both said it tasted homemade. Highly recommend this place!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian here. There’s enough vegetarian options to satisfy out diet.“

“Amazing spot with beautiful Greek indoors and great service. Must check it out if in coral gables. I am in love with their Turkish flatbread and the babka pudding! Get a reservation because it's tough to get a table when you walk in. You can probably skip the chicken shawarma and try something else - it wasn't that flavorful.“

“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“

“Shahs of Kabob is the most amazing Persian restaurant in the world. I've tried Persian food in many cities and nothing compares to shahs of Kabob. The chicken kabob is so delicious and we order it at least once a week. A must try in Miami.“

“One word, BEST! Mint Beirut served my wife, of Lebanese descent, and I the best Lebanese dinner we have ever been served-PERIOD.Please do not be thrown off by the carry out/takeout reference, there are a couple three-top tables and the quality of the food offsets the limited seating.Melissa and Melissa’s mom…THANK YOU for the BEST meal of our trip to Miami!!!Parking: There is a parking lot behind the storefront and a grocery store lot just 2-doors (100 yards) down if you miss the entrance.“

“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.“

“Superb authentic Mediterranean / middle eastern food, We had the filet mignon kebab, the Habibi shawarma an and the Vibe special falafel sandwich served on just-out-of-the-oven pita bread.The guys at the counter are amazing super attentive to our need, they even brought some freebies to the table. The place is a hidden gem if you like Mediterranean food“

“Went for a late dinner. Ordered several plates to share (chicken shawarma, pickled veggies, greek salad, tzatziki) and everything was excellent. Cocktail list had some very good options. Tzatziki with the pita bread was a star of what we ordered. Super fresh and flavorful.“

“This is a pretty cute spot! There was a gentle breeze so the outdoor seating area was really charming. The food — was authentic; the hummus was tasty and fresh, the taboule too! The only thing that could improve is that the chicken kabobs were over done, so it was a bit dry. I wish the vegetables in the grape leaves platter were steamed — they were a little bit hard to eat.7.8/10 I’d come back again if I was in the area.“

“This restaurant is excellent— an incredible experience!! The ambiance and decor are gorgeous — you immediately feel transported to another realm. It is fancy, so dress up! Pros: Our server was attentive, which is rare in Miami these days, and gave us great recommendations. The food and cocktails were delicious and a good value, especially for Miami. The owner came up and greeted us and told us a little bit about the place. The live music was a great addition. We will definitely be back.“

“For sure the best restaurant in key Biscayne. Consistency y the secret. Great ambience, extraordinary attention and service, a great menu with real and different special dishes every day, a superb wine selection and the constant attention of the owner who is always around making sure that every detail is up to his personal standards consistently. Must ma a reservation. Enjoy !!!“

“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 .“

“For my mother's 49th birthday, we decided to visit a restaurant that had been highly recommended to us. She absolutely loved it! One dish that stood out to us was the flammable lobster - it was cooked to perfection and had a unique flavor that we had never tasted before. The mac and cheese was also quite favorable and left us wanting more. The mushroom escargot was a light and dynamic appetizer that we couldn't resist. And let's not forget about the mash puree - it was so delightful, buttery and had the perfect texture that complemented the main course. Overall, it was an amazing dining experience and we highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable meal.“

“My wife and I found this place on Yelp. Took a chance and we were absolutely blown away! Every flavor complimented each other, and in combinations neither of us were used to. Our server Carlos was very knowledgable and helped us pick excellent dishes and drinks. The Tomahawk steak was out of this world, as well as the Tiramisu… smoked along with home-made ice cream. Delicious and the presentation was amazing. Will definitely come back here next time we’re in town!“

“Big thank you to Brian Barakat for introducing me to TUR Kitchen last weekend. It was an incredible dining experience from start to finish. Impeccable service, great appetizers for sharing, incredible food - a real find! Every thing was delicious. I highly recommend it!“

“On vacation in Miami I found this wonderful Spanish food restaurant and that's where I went. As always, without knowing if the food is really like in Spain (where I'm from), and to my pleasant surprise, I ate a seafood paella and tumaca bread on the side, and it was still spectacular. Very good paella! 200% recommended. And the service was wonderful, lovely staff. I recommend to everyone who wants to try real, good Spanish food. If I return to Miami, I will definitely repeat!“

“First time at Sospiro! Will definitely come back. Loved the artichokes, the zucchini carpaccio and the nougat semifreddo for dessert. Ordered the french flight and rose flight, wine selection was impressive and tasty. Discovered that Loire valley wines can actually be delicious!“

“100% worth driving 45 minutes for. Best mediterranean food ever, made by a wonderful husband and wife team! Always my go-to choice for catering. I've been coming here for nine years and I'll keep coming back til the day I die. The owners Federico and Abir are usually the only people working, and it's truly inspirational to see what they've accomplished together. I can't wait to have them cater my wedding, some day.“

“Some of the best middle eastern food I've ever had. A gem in the heart of downtown Miami. Amazing people and just some of the best food I've had here in my Miami. Chicken is delicious and the beef/lamb was just amazing. Highly recommend.“

“Food was amazing and every plate we tried was delicious! Also, the place is beautiful, clean, and cozy! I do have to take one star because the service was not what we expected, the servers were talking about the customers at the tables because it was almost closing time and 18% service fee is added to all tables but definitely worth trying! (March 22nd).“

“Old Lisbon Restaurants is a taste of Portugal in the heart of [location]. From their flavorful seafood dishes to their traditional Portuguese classics, every bite is a journey to the cobblestone streets of Lisbon. The warm ambiance and attentive staff make it a perfect spot for a cozy dinner or celebratory gathering.“

“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 don't know why it took me so long to try this place but I'm so glad I came! My friend told me it was amazing so I had to see for myself. The spanakopita was so delicious and lemony. The hummus wasn't bad just not my favorite but the labneh was . I had lamb kebab and my boyfriend had the traditional beef kebab. He's not a fan of lamb but he said my entree was better (so that says a lot about how good the lamb is). Only thing that didn't catch our attention was the dessert but everything else was fantastic.“

“We went for my boyfriends bday and food was amazing. He is Azeri and loved the food, he said the hummus was like at home. When we made the reservation we checked the bday box under occasion. However, he didn’t get a complimentary dessert for his bday as it is common in multiple restaurants in Miami, and he wasn’t greeted by the staff. We don’t understand why they gave us the option to mention the occasion. In terms of food it was 10/10 and drinks were strong and tasty.Kid-friendliness: Staff was friendly with kids from other tables :)“

“Food was delicious, we had the lamb chops, combo grill, Tadig and hummus platter. Everything was delicious and service was fast and courteous. Highly recommend this business. They add gratuity but it was fine. Enjoyed this restaurant and would visit again if we are in this area.“

“The best Tequenos, Tabbouleh Salad is amazing super fresh!!! We also liked a lot the gyros and Falafel. We used to buy from them when they started out with the food truck and now that they have a restaurant we are always going to support their business because we like their food very much. Healthy and tasty!!!“

“To me is one oof the top places to go with a moderate budget! Prices are very fair the service are exactly what you can espect from very professional staff. So I would definitely recommend this place with a highly and strong recommendation! The food was amazing and the owner of the restaurant is on always aware of the service! So yes I would say there is a big yes for this place sincerely one of the happy customers!!! Ginno Russo“

“Old Lisbon is a great restaurant for any time of the year. The cod entree is one of the best we've ever had, coupled with a crisp Albariño wine. And we also recommend the custard pie dessert, super delicious. But the best part is the service from Rodrigo... he does everything, and he does it all excellently well!! We are anxious to go back to see Rodrigo, and have more of the delicious food.“

“Excellent food. Every single Plate the we taste was absolutely amazing. The duck dumplings and the Sha Bao were my favorites. The service was great and atmosphere fenomenal, overall the pace was above my expectations. I will definitely recommend this place .“

“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.“

“Rice is our restaurant of choice for casual dining in Coral Gables. We usually order to go - their app is convenient and works well. Quality of their food is consistent and reliably good and we consider it a very good value. We usually order the kebab platters but they also offer customizable bowl options which are also very good. They have a wide variety of options, you're sure to find something you'll enjoy!“

“100/10! Food, Service & Atmosphere all top tier >>> PLEASE do yourselves a favor & try the short rib HUMMUS. We also had the short rib bowls & fries with secret sauce- so good. Big thank you to the Happeas team & Caesar for treating us like family. We'll definitely be back soon <3“

“I’ve been in love with Shahs of Kabob since I went a few years ago and continue to go to this location and others. You feel welcomed and seen as soon as you walk in & service is so fast. The food? The freshest because they are grilling your meal right in front of you. Their chicken and meat is so tender. I’m very picky about chicken but I know every time I order their joojeh kabob it’s going to be juicy and flavorful. Their Koobideh is the best, it’s so tender and addicting. My new obsession is their salad loaded with everything is so yummmyyyy. Overall love this place! The food is also halal which is a plus!“

“A very good place to eat, with a variety of dishes to choose from, located in an excellent place, maybe improve the attention of the waiters, it was so full that we had to wait a long time for the waiter to return and the waiter even forgot some things time to serve.“

“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 ?“

“All excellent Gyros. The lamb was just right. The only detail I can't approve of is the grape leaves. A good tooth like me can distinguish a grape leaf prepared on site and another that comes from a can. That doesn't mean I won't return, I even took another gyro for breakfast.“

“While exploring Julia and Henry with my girlfriends for Galentine's day we decided to try Mensch. One of my friends has been vegetarian for a few months and Mensch had great offerings to satisfy her diet. We got some babaganoush as it is our favorite Mediterranean dip. The flavor was great, nice smokiness to it and we enjoyed. I would come back for more offering!“

“This is my go to every time I’m at MIA, which is at least a dozen times a year. DELICIOUS and fresh. Some of the best airport food I’ve eaten anywhere. The roasted veggie and chicken salad is outstanding. The portion is large so even at $16 I get two meals out of it (and yes I carry the rest to my destination if I don’t finish it, it’s that good). Had the falafel wrap for a change yesterday and it was also excellent. This is food that I would eat regularly if it were available near my home. FYI the same food is sold at Ice Box at the other end of the terminal.“

“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.“

“I can say enough! The food was so fresh and well presented! Amazing hummus, greek yogurt and eggplant dips. Pita bread? The best! Calamaris? OMG!!! everything was perfect!!! Of course cold beer..Roxangela great personality, divine!!! And very professional.Well recommended! Why didn't I visit this restaurant sooner??“

“One of my favorite places in Miami, this gem never fails to impress! With its delicious food, amazing service, and tranquil ambiance, it's the perfect spot for a memorable dining experience. The sommelier's wine recommendations are always on point. ?❤️Parking: Valet parking available“

“Sea Grill offers a delightful seafood experience with fresh and flavorful dishes. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, and the service is attentive. From succulent shrimp to perfectly grilled fish, each dish is expertly prepared and beautifully presented. A must-visit for seafood enthusiasts.“

“Came here to have a light lunch with the family. Location is beautiful. Large wall fountain, outside tables. Located at the top of the Four Seasons hotel. We ordered some appetizers and the flatbread to share. Everything was wonderful. The hummus was very creamy with olives that are not your typical ones from the grocery store. Nice taste. Pita bread was very fresh. The zucchini fries were not greasy and had a yummy sauce. Addicting. Lamb meatballs were perfectly cooked and had a tzatziki sauce. Finally the flatbread with prosciutto, which our daughter couldn't get enough of. Fresh toppings, nice mix of flavors. Very good. Service was good. Everyone helped each other with filling drinks, clearing plates, checking in on us. I'm sure other items are good. Very impressed.“

“I’ve ordered from Maria’s 3 times in the past two days because it is THAT GOOD!!!Phenomenal food- the Avgolemono is so good- perhaps the most authentic I’ve had in Miami!The Gyros- TO DIE FOR!The tzatziki— PERFECTION!!!The Pastitsio— MOUTH WATERING!My new favorite Greek restaurant for sure!!!Can’t wait to try everything on the menu- yummmm“

“A Birthday Brunch to Remember at Sails, Naples. On a quest to celebrate Easter and my birthday in style, Mohit and I found ourselves at Sails in Naples, Florida, and it's safe to say that this place has redefined brunch for us. Renowned as a prime brunch spot in Southwest Florida, Sails offers an all-you-can-eat and drink experience with an innovative twist. Abandoning the traditional buffet, patrons are invited to order unlimited dishes from an à la carte menu, which promises variety and quality. Upon our arrival, we were warmly greeted by an exceptionally attentive server who walked us through the menu. His recommendations were spot-on, enhancing our dining experience right from the start. In the spirit of celebration, we began with a toast and clinking glasses of champagne to commemorate the beautiful day ahead. The culinary journey started with a beautifully plated avocado toast, which set a high standard for what would come. The crab and avocado dish was next, a combination so delicious it left us eagerly anticipating the next course. The highlight for me was the caviar paired with fresh oysters, a symphony of flavors that was nothing short of perfection. Our brunch experience was further elevated by servers who made rounds with baskets filled with freshly baked croissants and pastries, adding a touch of French elegance to our table. As we indulged in these delights, we sipped on mimosas and handcrafted cocktails, each concoction more delightful than the last. The homemade lasagna that followed was creamy and delectable, embodying the comfort and warmth of traditional Italian cuisine. However, the showstopper was undoubtedly the cheese soufflé, a dish that sang a melody of flavors so harmonious that it was almost operatic. Amidst our culinary exploration, we were serenaded by the in-house saxophone player, who played a birthday tune for me, adding a personal touch to an already extraordinary brunch. Finally, at our server's recommendation, we concluded our feast with the chocolate gateaux. A masterpiece of dessert, it not only lived up to the restaurant's standards but elevated them, leaving us in awe of the talent behind Sails' kitchen. In conclusion, Sails in Naples, Florida, is not just a restaurant; it's an experience where every dish tells a story, and every moment is a celebration. Whether for a special occasion or a lavish brunch, Sails promises an unforgettable dining adventure beyond the palate, making it a must-visit destination in Southwest Florida.“

“The food is always, always good. I get the chicken platter with the lettuce and hummus ??+ that garlic butter and pita ?please. I’m devastated having moved away from the location that I can’t go back and get food from here and haven’t been able to find anything like it 15/10⭐️“
