Bakalo Miami Aegean Bistrot

About the restaurant

Bakalo’ Miami is an act of love towards Greece. And a celebration of fun and freedom always associated with Mykonos, the Greek island queen of the Aegean Sea.
The first Bakalo’ opened its doors in 2010 in Mykonos as a Greek casual chic eatery and immediately became the favorite spot of foodies in the island. At our Miami Beach location our commitment is to continue to offer fresh, healthy and natural Greek cuisine that reflects contemporary trends and to rediscover authentic flavors from other time adapted to the new era.
All our dishes are served family style, and fish, shellfish, meat and of course vegetarian preparations are equally present, and our wines and beers offer labels often difficult to find outside Greece.
Central part of the Bakalo’ Mykonos experience are the open kitchen, that allows patrons to feel and share the energy of the Chefs at work, and the outdoor patio, that gives guests the opportunity to enjoy the street feeling and alfresco dining.

We had a great dining experience at Kalamata. The two of us shared hummus, the mixed grill plate, custard, and Turkish tea. Everything was excellent and the portions were more than generous. The hummus was creamy and full of flavor and the pita was soft and fresh. The meat in our mixed grill was very good. I really liked the gyro meat with tzaziki and the lamb chop while my partner loved the chicken. The rice was fluffy and slightly sweet. Be sure to ask for some hot sauce, it had a pleasant heat and a great vinegar-y tang. The custard was beyond excellent - light, creamy, and topped with crushed pistachios. We finished with the Turkish tea that was flavorful and tasty with a little honey added. The atmosphere was nice, cool, and well decorated. We ate inside due to the heat outside and we're glad we did. The sidewalk dining looked great but there was a lot of foot traffic and some diners with an ill-behaved dog. We arrived at 5:30 and we're the only ones inside although the outdoor dining was busier. Shortly before leaving, a party of 10+ arrived to dine inside. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will be dining here again.

Planta is one of my favorite restaurants. As a vegan, it's always a pleasure to be in a place where I know I am "safe" to eat. ;)
