Mediterranean dishes with seasonal ingredients & time-honored techniques
"This chic Mediterranean restaurant serves elevated classics like manti filled with spiced lamb, pides topped with a choice of shrimp, mushrooms, braised lamb, or eggplant, striploin, and lamb chops. For those who want to explore what the restaurant has to offer, opt for the tasting menu, which frequently rotates, offering eight or thirteen courses paired with wine that take guests on a taste of the region." - Eater Staff
"Tur Kitchen’s chic 4,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor space in picturesque Coral Gables lets solo diners slip on a cloak of invisibility while still offering great views for people watching. The menu entertains with an extensive bar program and Mediterranean-inspired dishes." - Juliana Accioly
"Situated in a serene section of Giralda Avenue in Coral Gables, this Mediterranean restaurant offers all the elements of a good lunch. Selections include the restaurant’s bestselling roasted squid, topped with crispy chorizo, grapefruit, Medjool dates, sumac, and chili, as well as stracciatella with grilled peach, pistachio, capers, mint, and guindilla pearls and fava bean spread accompanied by heirloom tomato, lavash bread, and za’atar. A dish of chicken and cous cous with labneh, ras el hanout ad black cherries makes for a solid second course, and the paccheri pasta blends a satisfying mix of shrimp, octopus, squash, and orange beurre blanc. The finale features gelato, sorbet, or phyllo Napoleon bathed in chantilly cream, berries, and pistachio praline." - Juliana Accioly
"Chef Christian Chirino offers two memorable tasting menus at this Mediterranean restaurant in Coral Gables. The first, the “Gezi” eight-course meal, includes roasted squid, lavash, lemon and basil sorbet, branzino, and lamb chop for $95 a person. The “Voyage” menu expands the tasting to thirteen courses, adding manti dumplings, braised goat, tuna tartare and other specialties, and a signature coffee service for $155 per guest. A wine pairing is available to complement the experience." - Juliana Accioly
"For those tired of the same old pepperoni pie, stop by this elegant-yet-approachable Coral Gables Mediterranean for Happy Hour when chef Christian Chirino serves an array of Turkish pide (an oval-shaped flatbread) topped with flavors like braised lamb, with mushrooms, tomatoes, goat cheese, and curry oil; eggplant with sun-dried tomato, ricotta, cashews, arugula, and chili, and shrimp with salsa verde, mascarpone, and lemon zest. Pair with a cocktail, glass of wine, or IPA for the perfect night out." - Alona Martinez
