50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near South Miami

“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.“

“The risotto w/sea bass is fantastic. Sirloin w/ fries also fantastic. Tuna tartare app is very large and the tuna was super fresh. The bartender gives you a nice pour. Servers are all very nice and knowledgeable. I've eaten here 5 times and never had a complaint. If you're looking for a quiet place, this is not the best choice. If you like a lively atmosphere, you will be pleased. I wish the bar was bigger, but other than that this place gets all A's.“

“My friend and I stumbled upon this place and we are so happy we did! We had the chicken shawarma sandwiches and hummus. That is the best chicken shawarma sandwich I’ve ever had!! I crave it weekly. I’ve gone back several times and everyone I bring loves it also. Definitely check it out!“

“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!“

“We had the most wonderful experience at SHA Wynwood!
Last Thursday, we celebrated my daughter’s bridal shower there, and I truly cannot say enough about how amazing the entire staff was.

From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to accommodate all of our requests and make sure everything was exactly as we envisioned. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and warm hospitality made the evening truly unforgettable for my daughter, our family, and all of our guests.

A very special thank you to Manny, who coordinated every single detail to perfection. He was attentive, helpful, and incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process. Thanks to him and the wonderful team at SHA Wynwood, we were able to simply enjoy this very special celebration without worrying about anything.

The atmosphere, service, and overall experience were exceptional. I recommend SHA Wynwood 100%, especially for anyone looking for a beautiful place to celebrate a special occasion.

Thank you, Manny and the entire SHA Wynwood team, for making my daughter’s bridal shower such a memorable evening! ❤️“

“This is one of my favorite go-to places for a really delicious, filling meal that is reasonably priced. The basmati rice is just perfect, and the chicken joojeh and tenderloin chanjeh with the sumac sauce is so good! The sirloin kubideh is also solid. The spicy sumac sauce adds just a little bit of kick to the original too. They also have prepared foods that you can build your own bowl/plate with for an even lower price if you want a quick, cheaper meal. My company even had them cater a work party and the food was really good even cold later into the night. Highly recommend this place!“

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

“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!“

“We had a wonderful experience at Maison Ostrow. The service from Eyal was excellent , very attentive and really made us feel taken care of. The decor is truly out of the ordinary, with so much character and attention to detail. The whole atmosphere really makes you feel like you’ve stepped into France.

The french baguette was amazing, and we especially enjoyed the zaatar butter, beef carpaccio with truffle, steak frites, and lemon mousse with meringue. Everything was delicious and beautifully done. We really enjoyed our evening and would definitely come back! Compliments to the chef.“

The food was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared, with a nice variety of options to choose from. The drinks were enjoyable, and the overall dining experience was made even better by the pleasant setting and comfortable ambiance.

The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure everything was taken care of throughout the visit. The team was welcoming, professional, and contributed to a very enjoyable experience.

The location at Oceanside Miami adds to the appeal, providing a great environment to unwind and enjoy the Miami atmosphere. Whether stopping by for a casual meal, a drink, or a relaxing evening, The Tavern is a great choice.

Overall, The Tavern at Oceanside Miami offers delicious food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to visiting again.“

“Such a hidden gem! The food is incredible and Fabiola provided excellent service. The smoked truffle tuna tartar was a show stopper. Also, if you have someone in your party who is not a fan of sushi, they offer extremely creative and delicious burgers. Do not sleep on Nuvo Fusion. 10 stars!“

“Great Hospitality, food, drinks and ambiance!“

“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“

“The food was excellent—everything was delicious and very good quality. The only thing that could be improved is the service, which was quite slow. I think they could use more staff, especially when the restaurant is busy. Other than that, everything was excellent, and I would definitely recommend it.“

“Great food and and amazing view“

“LOVE IT!“

“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“

“This food was amazing. Got their protein platter with vegan chicken! Great portion, great flavor, and Mel was such a great help. Very kind!

If you are vegan, Vegetarian or a normal meat based diet, you would love the food.“

“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.“

“Being local in Miami l felt like l am in Mykonos or somewhere similar. It was a great place with delicious food, amazing view, great service and beautiful atmosphere. Night started with live music then turned to live DJ which was amazing. Overall I wish l could give six stars for having such an awesome time having every thing together . İf you love oysters, you must try here . We ordered two rounds and it was spectacular“

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