At Mykonos Kitchen & Bar, we believe that dining is about more than just food—it’s about creating memorable experiences, forging connections, and sharing the warmth of Greek hospitality in Miami. Rooted in a tradition that dates back thousands of years, philoxenia—the Greek concept of hospitality—means much more than simply welcoming guests. It is a way of life, a deep-seated cultural value that celebrates generosity, kindness, and making everyone feel at home.

From the moment you step into our Mediterranean restaurant in Miami, you’ll feel the warmth and authenticity of Greece. From our delicious cuisine to our attentive service and vibrant atmosphere, here’s what makes Mykonos Kitchen & Bar truly special.
