Set in a beautiful 1940s house located between the Design District and the historic Buena Vista, Mandolin serves traditional Aegean food from the azure coasts of Greece and Turkey. Founded by husband and wife Anastasia Koutsioukis and Ahmet Erkaya, Mandolin features a menu that is ingredient-driven, and they use locally caught fish and farm raised meat, pure olive oil, fresh herbs and vegetables, and homemade breads, cheeses, and yogurt in all their dishes."

"With ambiance that is reminiscent of the tranquil Greek islands, Mandolin Aegean Bistro has become a go-to for locals looking for a romantic night out in the Miami Design District.

The cuisine, a creative rendition of maki rolls — think watermelon tuna nigiri and spicy tuna rolls, torched avo sushi, as well as heart of palm California rolls."

"Don’t let the trendy South Beach location fool you – everything about Planta is elegantly down-to-earth. This innovative plant-based restaurant is inspired by all parts of the world, and it shows in the dishes they serve. While the entire menu isn’t vegan, a large portion of it is, and locals love everything on it."

"The gist: You know those charming, fresh seafood spots on the water people brag about going to on summer vacations in Greece?. Replace the Aegean with Coral Way and this pretty much captures the essence.The food: Miami might not be lacking for Mediterranean seafood spots, but it is lacking for Mediterranean seafood spots that don’t make you feel like a yutz if you can’t shell out $60 for a FedExed branzino. That’s where this unassuming little spot on Coral Way comes in, where simple, cozy tables provide a laid-back atmosphere for enjoying fresh snapper, tempura crab, and wild salmon with spinach and tzatziki sauce."

"Fans of French pastries will relish the round chocolate lovers' cake by Mirabelle's chef/owner George Berger.

A shiny chocolate glaze envelops the cake, topped with a ribbon of milk chocolate."

Here you can tuck into fresh, locally sourced seasonal produce and take advantage of the rather glamorous setting."

"The Matador Room is reminiscent of the glitzy supper clubs of the 1940s and 50s, with the original (restored) chandelier still very much in center stage.

"The gist:Fooq owner David Foulquier slings Brooklyn-style and Sicilian pies in his restaurant’s old downtown space. The Barstool guy approves.The food: Though taking pizza advice from a guy running a sports website makes about as much sense as living by restaurant ratings from a tire company, Dave Portnoy absolutely got this one right. The pizza he called “the best stuff I’ve had” is a crispy-crusted, wood-fired Brooklyn-style pie that immediately became a contender for best in the city."

"The Downtown restaurant Fooq’s is now Eleventh Street Pizza. This is, like, their third pandemic pivot - all of which have been really delicious (especially the short-lived pasta concept, Da Lida). So, it wasn’t a huge surprise when Eleventh Street Pizza, which serves New York Style pies to-go, turned out to be great."
