Miami may have the crystal clear water of the Caribbean, but the za'atar-dusted flatbread, baked feta with diced tomato, and lamb kofte with herbed yogurt served at its Mediterranean restaurants will transport you halfway around the globe.

El Turco
184 N.E. 50th Terr., 33137 Miami
$$ · Mediterranean Cuisine

The menu here is an enticing offering of breakfast fare, featuring organic eggs that support Turkish mezzes, manti and savory pastries like borek. Baked in-house, this burnished coil is stuffed with spinach, sprinkled with sesame seeds and garnished with cherry tomatoes. The izmir kofte arrives in a mini ceramic dish filled with beef meatballs baked in tomato sauce alongside batons of roasted potato. 

Mandolin Aegean Bistro

$$ · Mediterranean Cuisine

This mezze-heavy menu, best enjoyed in the mature-tree-filled courtyard, may unveil a creamy slab of baked feta with diced tomato, smoked chili flakes and Turkish peppers. Slices of house-baked bread, stuffed into small brown paper bags, accompany the excellent small plates. Salads, a grilled catch-of-the-day sandwich and larger items, like moussaka, are equally beloved.
