"This small Lebanese spot is one block from the ocean, and they make wraps that are perfect for a little picnic on the sand or post-beach lunch. The menu isn’t huge, but options include a soujok wrap, falafel wraps, and—our favorite—the kafta wrap: ground beef and minced onions between two grilled pitas wrapped around pickles, tomato, and a house sauce. We’re also big fans of the Lebanese-style burger. It's stuffed with coleslaw, fries, and gets pressed just like the wraps, which gives the outside of the bun some gorgeous grill marks and a nice crisp. Pair it with the housemade rose water that you can sip while you walk off your meal on the Miami Beach boardwalk, located right across the street." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
"This small North Beach spot is named after the various (and delicious) Lebanese wraps on the menu. But their burger is great—and the only Lebanese-style burger we know of in Miami. It’s stuffed with coleslaw and fries, which might be a little hard to manage if it wasn’t all pressed into a neat, crispy little burger package on the same grill as their wraps. And just like the wraps, the outside of the bun gets some gorgeous grill marks in the process. Walk off the meal on the Miami Beach boardwalk across the street." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"What sets The Wrapper apart from this group of exceptional Lebanese restaurants is its proximity to the beach and, most importantly, its wraps. The menu is like a question on a test where the obvious answer is all of the above. There is no wrong wrap choice. However, we do have a couple of favorites: the kafta wrap and their Lebanese-style burger (if you’re not in a wrap mood). The juicy beef in the kafta wrap has a strong flavor of parsley and an additional kick from pickles and garlic sauce. Since there’s not much going on inside the narrow restaurant, this meal begs to be enjoyed on the beach across the street." - mariana trabanino, virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer

"The Beach: North Beach, between 69th and 72nd Street. We’re going to loosen our definition of a sandwich for one paragraph to allow The Wrapper on this guide. This Lebanese spot is too good, and technically they do make very tasty things between a doughy form of carbohydrates. They also have a burger if you’re one of those people who count that as a sandwich. But for a beach meal, stick to the wraps. Each is pressed until it’s crispy outside and you can get them in eight or 11 inches. Our favorite is the kafta wrap: ground beef and minced onions between two grilled pitas wrapped around pickles and tomato. Pair it with the housemade rose water that feels especially designed for a sunny day." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
