"Edan Bistro doesn’t make the best first impression. The walls are mostly bare and the space isn't particularly eye-catching. But this casual Basque spot in North Miami does serve the best Spanish food in the entire city. Edan reminds us of the best restaurants in San Sebastian, where chefs greet you with coffee and send you off with wine after dropping by the table with croquetas and ribeyes you’ll remember for a lifetime. Go for dinner but come back for brunch and, eventually, the eight-course tasting menu. It includes the best steak in Miami and ends with a gooey Basque cheesecake." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"The restaurant doesn’t look like much, but the Basque spot in North Miami is better than the type of fine dining restaurants that want you to walk in the front door dressed like you're trying to crash a wedding. Edan reminds us of the best contemporary restaurants in San Sebastian, where chefs greet you with coffee and send you off with wine after dropping by the table with croquetas and ribeyes you’ll remember for a lifetime. Go for dinner, but come back for brunch and, eventually, the eight-course tasting menu. It includes the best steak in Miami and ends with a gooey Basque cheesecake—also the best version in town." - virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer
"Just like Edan's unbelievably good steak, the dry-aged ribeye on this burger arrives medium rare (with an exquisite emphasis on the rare). It’s topped with a thick piece of idiazabal cheese, tangy ibarra peppers, and a roasted red pepper sauce that out-flavors all “secret” burger sauces. Altogether, eating this is like taking a bite out of the entire Basque region and the only thing that would make it better is if it came with an all-expense paid trip to San Sebastián. Just know that this burger only appears on Edan’s lunch menu, which is perfect because you can celebrate with a siesta." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"Take the dad who flinches at white tablecloths to Edan Bistro. It’s a fine dining restaurant disguised as a casual cafe. Here, he’ll encounter dignified Basque dishes that have every right to cost hundreds of dollars. But they don’t. The prices are so fair he’ll want to salute the menu. The fact that their exceptional 30-ounce dry-aged ribeye is under $100 is a small miracle. And, for the rest of his days, he’ll probably carry a little photo of their cheesecake in his wallet right next to your baby picture." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
"There’s a bit of a hermit crab situation going on with this place: Edan is a fancy Basque restaurant living inside the shell of a simple cafe. The result is a stunning dinner that feels—both in terms of price and formality—like something much more casual. If you don’t mind a rare piece of meat, order the $90 steak. It can easily feed three people (so, when you think about it, it’s more like a $30 steak). Otherwise, go for delicate dishes like smoked shiitake croquetas, tuna tartare surrounded by crispy shards of artichoke, and a basque cheesecake with a center that runs like it just called you a bad name." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
