Overview
Housed in a restored 1940s bungalow in the Design District, Mandolin Aegean Bistro opened in 2009 and has become one of Miami's most cherished dining destinations.

The restaurant's blue and white color scheme, lush garden setting, and simple, fresh Mediterranean cuisine transport diners to the Aegean coast. Mandolin's popularity has soared over the years, making it a favorite among locals, tourists, and celebrities alike.
