Bakalò Mykonos Comes to Miami

“Our restaurants are like our home, and guests are received as friends." - Bakalò Mykonos

In the heart of Mykonos since 2010, Bakalò Mykonos has been an oasis of casual Greek charm, enticing locals and celebrities with its fresh, simple, and classic Greek fare. Now, the contemporary culinary haven has found a second home in Miami, attracting A-listers such as Sofía Vergara, Gloria Estefan and Calvin Klein and promising to continue its legacy of serving up authentic flavours and warm hospitality.

How It All Started

The journey of Bakalò Mykonos began in 2010 when Nikos Nanou and Egidio Guerreri opened the doors to their Greek casual chic eatery in Mykonos. Inspired by traditional Greek recipes passed down through generations, they infused their dishes with modernity while prioritising fresh, locally-sourced ingredients and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. This winning formula quickly made Bakalò a favourite among foodies on the island.

Now, Bakalò Mykonos in Miami

Building on their success in Mykonos, Bakalò has brought its culinary delights to the vibrant streets of Miami Beach. With a commitment to offering fresh, healthy, and natural Greek cuisine, the team aims to rediscover authentic flavours from the Aegean Sea while reflecting contemporary trends.

As owners Nikos Nanou and Egidio Guerreri say, "Because the sea has no borders!"

Bakalò Mykonos in Miami draws inspiration from the charming Greek bistrots that line the harbours of Greek cities. With retro decorative touches, original 50s and 60s posters, and shelves stocked with Greek grocery products, the restaurant exudes a cozy and friendly atmosphere. Central to the Bakalò experience are the open kitchen, where guests can witness the chefs at work, and the outdoor seating area, perfect for enjoying alfresco dining.

As for the menu, it's a culinary journey through the flavours of the Mediterranean. Highlights include Mediterranean branzino grilled with ladolemono and oregano, keftedakia – grilled grandma's meatballs served with yogurt sauce and sweet paprika oil, grilled octopus accompanied by Santorini split fava and caramelised onion, and of course, everyone’s favourite, the moussaka. For dessert, indulge in classics like portokalopita (orange syrup cake) or baklava (crispy filo pastry with walnuts and honey syrup).
