Mykonos Kitchen & Bar is a waterfront Greek and Mediterranean restaurant at 400 Sunny Isles Blvd, on the water side of Sunny Isles Beach. The kitchen covers two menus: the Greek side with dips, mezes, salads and charcoal grills, and a sushi and raw bar for the other half of the table. The current menu with prices is always on our menu page.

Why Aventura Locals Drive East for Dinner

Aventura gives you the malls, the offices and the residential towers. What it does not give you is open water at the table, and that is the part of the evening that turns dinner into a night out. Sunny Isles Beach starts where the bridge ends, and Mykonos Kitchen & Bar sits right on it: a terrace over the water, sunset in the west, boats in the marinas, and a Greek kitchen that treats both the view and the plate seriously.

The drive itself is the whole commute: ten to fifteen minutes depending on where in Aventura you start, valet parking when you arrive, and a table that feels like a weekend even on a Tuesday. There is no hunting for a spot in a garage and no walking three blocks. You hand over the car and sit down.

What the Drive Gets You

The menu is built for the kind of evening Aventura residents plan after a long week. Start with dips and warm pita, move to the Flaming Cheese Saganaki when the skillet arrives on fire, then let the table split the Grilled Octopus, the Shrimp Mykonos or the lamb chops from the charcoal grill. If part of your group has been talking about sushi all week, the raw bar covers that too, from the Mykonos Roll to sashimi. Menu items and prices may be subject to change, so check our current menu before you order.

Planning the Visit from Aventura

Two timing rules matter, because they are the ones that surprise first-time guests. First, dinner starts at 5PM from Tuesday to Friday: on weekdays the kitchen opens with the evening, not with lunch. Second, the weekend is the all-day version: on Saturdays and Sundays the restaurant opens at noon, and the waterfront brunch buffet runs until 3:30PM, which makes it the natural end of a Saturday shopping trip. The restaurant is closed on Mondays, and hours are seasonal, so check our current hours before you plan the drive.

If you keep a boat in the waterways near Aventura, the shortest route is not the drive at all: Mykonos Kitchen & Bar keeps a private dock for guests arriving by water, and we wrote about dining and celebrating by boat for the crew that prefers to skip the bridge traffic entirely.

How to Book

Reserve by phone at (305) 497-9775 or through the contact page. Weekend tables fill first, and the brunch buffet draws its own crowd on Saturdays and Sundays, so reservations are recommended. Say you are coming from Aventura if you want the team to suggest the best arrival time for the sunset.
