Mandolin Aegean Bistro Miami Design District
Lunch Like a Yachtie
We get it: You’re in Miami, you need to channel your inner “Below Deck” guest. Do just that with Mandolin’s manti — minced beef dumplings in a brown butter sauce with garlicky yogurt and Aleppo pepper — which firmly remain among the city’s must-eat dishes. The breezy patio, the generous deployments of lemon and oregano and sea salt, and — yes — chilled rosé all feel like you’ve been transported, floating somewhere between Greece and Turkey coast while Captain Sandy guides the ship. Order a Greek sampler to share as a starter for some of the best taramasalata (as well as tzatziki and the spicy feta dip tirokafteri) around, served with fresh crudité.
