Pasha's Mediterranean Cuisine - South Beach, Brickell, Design District

Pasha’s serves natural Mediterranean cuisine and is one of the healthiest restaurants in Brickell Miami. They have a great menu dedicated to all dieters. All of the ingredients in their meals are natural and their food contains no trans fat, additives, preservatives or msg. Try smoothies such as the Mango Lassi and the Peanut Butter Cup. Pasha also offers catering services to parties, corporate gatherings and other types of events upon request.
The menu has something for everyone, from fresh salads, soups, wraps, and filling platters with rice, veggies, and flavorful grilled meats.  On my most recent visit, I ordered my usual - Choban salad topped with chicken shish kebab skewers and a whole wheat pita on the side.  The salad consists of tomato, cucumber, bell peppers, onions, and Kalamata olives, marinated in heart healthy extra virgin olive oil and Mediterranean herbs. For an extra charge I added Feta cheese and the Shish Kebab Skewers (charbroiled marinated chicken breast chunks with grilled peppers and onions).  You can also top the salad with Vegetarian Falafel, Beef, or Salmon kebabs.  Other dishes worth mentioning are the lentil soup, tabbouleh, and spinach borek (flaky pastry with spinach and cheese filling).

In 2004 Dr. Arthur Agatston published its successful South Beach Diet Cook Book with recipes from a select handful upscale restaurants from New York and Miami.  Pasha’s is the only fast casual restaurant to be part of this selection.  The book which became a New York Times Best Seller with over 3 million books sold worldwide proclaimed “Pasha’s serves healthy and delicious Mediterranean food, proving once again the two are never mutually exclusive”

Miditerraneo Brickell

The cool crisp waters of the Mediterranean lap gently against many shores. Its bounty delivered fresh to the diverse cultures which compose this region, inspiring cooking styles which reflect the beauty and subtlety of their origin.

One’s sense of proximity to the ocean is further enhanced as the restaurant's wave inspired walls and clean white bar illuminate light blue, inspiring the greatest moments in perfect harmony with the ocean.

Beautiful images of nature and the underwater world are projected while the music excites our senses and aligns us with the good living of the Mediterranean. Mediterraneo Brickell is the perfect place to enjoy a variety of ceviches and tapas accompanied by one of our signature cocktails or incredible entrees.

Burger & Beer Joint

 

Here at Burger and Beer Joint, it is our goal to make you feel apart of our B&B family. Open for a year now, B&B is to say the least, a local success story.

Email: charlie22garcia@gmail.com
 The concept of B&B was created from the ground up, and was built through dedicated, hard-working people that shared the same motivation and vision. Overcoming many obstacles, we have expanded to our now open Brickell location. One of our many goals at B&B was to fill a much needed niche within the Miami area.

It is safe to say that we have filled it as South Beach’s local burger and beer bar that everyone’s talking about. A combination including our energetic employee team ready to serve mouth watering dishes, mixed with a full blown soda fountain serving up egg creams, shakes and adult beverages, sprinkled with our 10lb MAMMOTH burger creates the tri-fecta of B&B.

You can’t get enough of this place, just ask our regulars! Love the South Beach B&B? Then we’re sure you’ll love the Brickell B&B. We made sure both B&B locations capture the unique décor, featuring 120-year-old Chicago brick walls, wooden booths, copper ceilings and outdoor patios. Come see for yourself what everyone is talking about! Buy Restaurant.com Gift Certificates!

A little history....

In Brazil we call GRIMPA the branches of a special type of pine tree, tha "Araucária", very common in the southern region. The "Gauchos" that live in this region traditionally used these dry branches to start their campfires and prepare the "CHURRASCO" while they were out in the "Pampas" with their cattle. Naturally, meat was the main component of these meals.


These Araucárias also have an interesting mythical story. A famous tale from southern Brazil tells the story of a big blue bird whose favorite food was the Araucária nut, every fall this bird would bury the extra pine nuts to eat later that winter. But many of these nuts were forgotten buried and grew up to become these incredible and tall trees.

The Gauchos of southern brazil are also the inspiration for GRIMPAS's style of service, the "Rodizio". Moving about between the tables with their large sword-like skewers they will offer you a taste of this delicious memory of the Pampas.

As soon as guests arrive, they are enveloped in the chic yet comfy vibe of Segafredo Brickell’s grounds which feature eclectic antique furniture in the outdoor living room lounge areas.

Guide Review - Porcão Steakhouse

Located on Brickell Bay Drive inside the Four Ambassadors Hotel, the views of the pool and Intercoastal waterway are spectacular. Their house red wine, Caliterra, is a succulent Chilean specialty.

Dinner at Porcão Steakhouse is a fixed rate buffet and rodizio service. The price is $41.90 per person. Buffet stations include such items as Caesar salad, sushi, pasta, and various vegetables and cheeses. Once you have finished the buffet portion, you sit back and let the roaming waiters present you with various types of meat carved for you at your table (rodizio service). You do not have one set waiter but a variety of waiters that work in perfect synergy to make sure you have everything that you need, despite the language barrier with many of them. Though all the meat was exceptional, I would especially recommend the Filet Mignon wrapped in bacon and the Beef Ribs.

You should not leave Porcão without tasting one of their delicious desserts. The specialty is the Crème De Papaya. This is a very soft dessert that is so delicious you can't help but finish it!

Brazilian Fútbol (soccer) games are often celebrated in the bar area.

If you cannot make it to Porcão for dinner, you can try lunch on weekdays before 5pm. This includes a buffet with salads and sides and choice beef, chicken, or fish served tableside.

Porcão Steakhouse is located inside the Four Ambassadors Hotel at 801 Brickell Bay Drive in Miami. Reservations may be made by calling (305) 373-2777.
