Mandolin Aegean Bistro
A Greek and Turkish bistro set in the courtyard of a 1940s home in the Design District, offering dining under bougainvillea and recognized as a popular Bib Gourmand spot.
Founded by Ahmet Erkaya and Anastasia Koutsioukis, this bistro is housed in a restored 1940s bungalow. Its bougainvillea-draped courtyard is the main draw, and the dishes focus on rustic Greek and Turkish countryside flavors. Popular items include grilled octopus (subject to availability), grilled lamb chops, and Turkish manti (dumplings). Michelin also highlights the baked feta and the honey pie paired with Turkish coffee. Moderately priced, it serves lunch and dinner continuously. Courtyard seating is highly sought after, so reservations are recommended. Located near the Miami Design District, it is easily accessible on foot after shopping.
