The 14 Best Lunch Spots In Miami - Miami - The Infatuation
"If you’ve exhausted all your vacation days by Q2, then you might have to settle for a long lunch at Mandolin, which is the closest you’re coming to Mykonos this year. The beautiful (mostly) outdoor restaurant has lots of delicious shareable plates and a white sangria that’s appropriate to drink before 5pm. Between the baba ghanoush and the restaurant's blue and white color scheme, the only thing that’ll remind you you’re not vacationing in Greece is the notification on your phone to extend your parking. Lunch is way easier to book than dinner. Whether or not Mandolin is slammed depends on the weather. If it's gorgeous out, you should have made that reservation three weeks ago. If it's not peak snowbird season, it's easier. They accept walk-ins, although walk-ins are usually seated inside. Luckily, all people with reservations are guaranteed an outdoor table." - mariana trabanino, virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
