"Lira is a Wynwood restaurant that does not feel like it’s in Wynwood—which we mean as a compliment. It’s so much more peaceful than its neighbors. This is because it’s located on the very edge of the community, and tall plants give the patio a sense of privacy you’ll appreciate for a date or dinner with people you’d actually like to listen to. It’s also one of the best Lebanese restaurants in Miami, with very good dishes like kafta, kibbeh, and all the dips your heart desires. They’re not stingy with the pita either, which we always appreciate. It’s nice to have an outdoor option in Wynwood that doesn’t come with the risk of drunk people stumbling into your table.
