50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Sunny Isles Beach

“When I first walked in the door i was taken back by the upscale dining room. We had a wonderful experience from appetizers to desert. Our server Nikita was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He gave us great suggestions, enhancing our total experience. I am looking forward to returning for more delicious Russian/Armenian food. They also have a food market next door, another great find.“

“Highly recommended for upscale meal... but they do have burgers and kids menu. Located just off the beach, so from the street side of the hotel go to the second floor and follow signs to the pool then signs to the beach which will take you back down to the first floor out on the beach side. That said the food was creative and delicious. High quality for decent value for this upscale level. Waiter was excellent. There was a somewhat loud but good beach-style musical performance for half the meal so conversation was limited.“

“Amazing“

“So I had the yellowtail snapper and pacceri was beyond phenomenal...I would give it 11 stars, I never post about a restaurant but this is is the best Italian restaurant I've ever dined at... there's not enough praise to be given about Timos.....**********“

“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!“

“I like this place a lot. The food is served impeccably. Large menu of authentic Turkish food. Reasonable prices and the most important very nice owners (Tuba’s brother). The tea they serve is black tea from Sri Lanka (it has some bergamot hint ). Its a true killer. I highly recommend them.“

“My group had a wonderful time at ZOI Restaurant today lunch time. There were 10 of us celebrating 2 Birthday’s. From the large free parking lot to the entrance, gorgeous orchids growing on the lush trees greet you. The outdoor garden patio seating area where we dined is magical, and the seats are so plush and comfortable. It’s an unexpected botanical garden of palms, cycads, orchids, and bromeliads surrounding large lagoons. The Mediterranean /Greek food is wonderfully delicious, especially the variety of Mezzes that I had. The grilled Octopus and Lamb Chops were sensational. ZOI has developed the perfect mix of food, intimacy, and culinary expertise. Management spoiled us with pampering and great service. This place was so much fun, we didn’t want to leave.“

“Abbale is a favorite! The food is delicious, the atmosphere is inviting and the service white glove.

Thank you Abbale for another wonderful evening and for hosting our important meeting“

“Had falafel pita with hummus(homemade and you can tell the difference), Turkish coffee (so strong and so good), and it’s right next to a skate park while they were playing reggae. Great experience and great service. Miss Zelda made a little dessert she let me try made out of dates, blueberries and cacao and it was so tasty! Miss Zelda was also very sweet and we had a nice conversation after I was done eating. So yeah 5 stars much deserved“

“La Martola is a beautiful new Italian restaurant in the ever growing area of Buena Vista. It's a large restaurant with lots of inside and outdoor dining. The food is great - lots of options for appetizers and main courses and a long list of pizzas. We had the burrata salad with soft creamy cheese sprinkled with pistachios, the tagliolini with lemon and the Classico (or margherita) pizza which was very tasty and delicious. There is a nice wine list with lots of wines by the glass. A great experience. We sat outside and the live music was a little loud - perhaps acoustic, rather than electronic music would be better in the space. But a delightful delicious meal that warrants a return visit.“

“One of the best restaurants state-side. Highly recommend. Excellent staff and service; great food and presentation. An amazing place for family gatherings and a great date. Enjoy.“

“This place impressed me with their food. Maybe becausae I was expeectign the typical 'greek joint' with the gyros and fries but no. Great menu, good service. The place is very loud and thats perhaps because the music is loud and people need to compete but you can still have a conversation. Will go back for sure.“

“This unique restaurant made me feel not only comfortable, but well served as if I were a queen. From the environment, to the dancers, and even our waiters. We truly felt like Jasmine from the movie Aladdin. The food was EXOTIC, delicious, and one of a kind. After sipping on a while bottle of red wine I opted for the espresso for dessert and let me tell you.... best coffee I have ever tasted in South Florida. Can't thank the warming staff for keeping this place one of my number one restaurants in Florida! Oh and this was at the Hallandale location, can't imagine the Miami spot. ALSO, please sit outdoors! It's picture heaven for any content creator. Thanks again Jaffa! Keep shinning on.“
