Lira Beirut Eatery

"Restaurants on the very edge of Wynwood tend to feel a bit more peaceful than the ones in the center of the madness. This is the case with Lira, a good Lebanese restaurant on the southern border of the neighborhood. It has one of the best patios in the city as well as really good Lebanese dishes like kafta, kibbeh, and all the dips your heart desires. They’re not stingy with the pita either, which we always appreciate. This is just a great spot for a casual, relaxing dinner—not the easiest genre of restaurant to find in Wynwood." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino

"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. " - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

"Lira is located at the very southern tip of Wynwood like a little reward for dodging tour buses and covering your ears as cars blasting reggaeton drove by. But, congratulations, you’ve made it, and your prize is a very good (and peaceful) Lebanese restaurant. Prioritize this place if it’s nice out because thanks to a lovely patio situation, they’re one of our favorite outdoor restaurants in Miami. Lira serves dishes like kafta, kibbeh, and all the dips your heart desires. They’re not stingy with the pita either, which we always appreciate." - ryan pfeffer

"In Wynwood, this Lebanese restaurant’s charming courtyard houses an outdoor private dining area accommodating up to 40 guests. The restaurant offers two customizable set menus of dishes like tabbouleh, kafta, beef skewers, and Lebanese rice." - Juliana Accioly
