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.

At Mediterraneo our challenge is to advance this ideal, while integrating unique styles and ingredients from across the globe, to define Mediterranean Cuisine in a broader sense.

An oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of downtown, Mediterraneo is just steps from Miami’s Biscayne Bay in Brickell’s luxurious Jade Building. 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.

Executive Chef, Thierry, displays our new perspective on Mediterranean Cuisine through meticulous preparation. His worldly palette allows us to present fresh, amazing options and entrees, made to order, which integrate flavors from all across the globe into Mediterranean food.  Restaurant.com Gift Certificates: Save up to 60% off your next meal!

Giardino Gourmet Salads

Giardino Gourmet Salads was conceptualized by husband and wife team Kenny and Ody Lugo, formally a firefighter and Miami-Dade County school teacher. As a teacher, Ody made sure that her students knew where food really came from.

Her commitment to teaching her students about nutrition and health inspired her to create the concept of a ‘Healthy Fast Food’ restaurant. With no restaurant experience they risked everything for a dream. The Lugo’s are dedicated to bringing healthy, convenient and affordable eating options to South Florida with amazing customer service.

Their commitment of service also extends to the community in participation with charity events and fundraisers. Kenny believes that by giving to the community it will always remind you of where you came from. The pair opened the first Giardino in Coral Gables more than four years ago and they have been blessed enough to have created a healthy eating franchise, now opening its 6th location by the Summer of 2009.

Their all their favorite salads, but the top pick for Ody is of course the Ody’s Toss and for Kenny the Japanese with a scoop of Salmon Capperi.

Bongos Cuban Cafe

Courtesy Miami New Times

This is as close as it gets to Havana's Tropicana, the swanky, pre-Castro supper club where "Babalu" was born. The salsa theme puts on the ritz accompanied by lots of Cuban food, lots of Cuban music, and lots of Cubans period.

Restaurant Description:

Adjacent to the American Airlines Arena in downtown Miami, this high-energy venue re-creates “Old Havana” style with tropical décor and live entertainment that encourages patrons to hit the dance floor between courses. The lunch/dinner menu features Cuban classics such as ham croquettes ($5), Cuban sandwiches ($8), and entrées such as shrimp with garlic sauce ($19), Cuban-style skirt steak ($19), and Bongos’ famous shredded chicken ($14): a twist on vaca frita (shredded beef), which is also available. Keeping with Cuban tradition, the desserts include a rich rice pudding ($5) and a three-milk cake ($6) that’s so dense and sweet you will need a cortadito ($2.75) to wash it down. A family-friendly venue with vegetarian options and a full kids’ menu, Bongos is a great stop for any pre- or post-arena activities. The views of the bay from virtually every seat in the restaurant are a bonus.
