Dine at Delicious, Family-Friendly Restaurants
There’s no better way to get to know a place than to try the food that defines it. Miami is a prime example of this. Every meal in Magic City will be a culinary masterpiece, from al fresco dining to carry-out orders.
For the best family-friendly dining experiences, be sure to have a meal at these Miami favorites:
Mandolin Aegean Bistro | 4312 NE 2nd Avenue, Miami
As you walk through the bougainvillea and enter the blue gates, you are quickly transported to the tavernas and the Aegean coastal villages, where the Greek Islands meet the Turkish shore. As you revel in the flavors and customs of the Aegean, our community will welcome you with a dose of warm, authentic Mediterranean hospitality.
Mandolin Aegean Bistro started in Miami in 2009, founded by Ahmet Erkaya and Anastasia Koutsioukis, a husband and wife combination. They refurbished a 1940s property in Miami with one of the city’s most noteworthy gardens and an outside patio area, where every detail counts.
The pair took their diverse cultures and warm hospitality to the forefront of Miami’s culinary scene. Our culinary staff has interpreted the traditional recipes and seasonality of Greek and Turkish coastal cuisine as the restaurant has grown. They are dedicated to combining Aegean skills while utilizing local foods.
The tastes of the Aegean are incorporated into Mandolin Aegean Bistro and inspired by the area that connects Greece and Turkey’s beach towns and seasonal food. Our table is a gathering place for family and friends to share love, laugh, and have lively discussions.
We take pleasure in the consistency and quality of our meals at Mandolin. Traditional dishes are recreated while keeping in mind the seasonality and freshness of Aegean cuisine.

Lucali| 1930 Bay Road, Miami Beach
Authenticity, taste, and a dedication to utilizing only farm-fresh, locally sourced ingredients have been at the vanguard of our minds ever since we first conceived of the idea that would become Lucali. Because of the rich history of these recipes, which has been passed down through the years, we have created an experience that is rich in positive energy and features delectable cuisine.
Lucali is a famous New York-style pizza baked in a brick oven and known for using only the highest quality toppings. Through daily preparation and the use of ingredients sourced from merchants that cultivate their produce locally, we can uphold our dedication to quality and authenticity.
Carpaccio| 9700 Collins Avenue, Bal Harbour
Carpaccio can be found right in the middle of the Bal Harbour Shops. The Italian restaurant has always been a popular destination. It continues to be the restaurant of choice for famous people, including socialites, athletes, and artists, who come back for the acclaimed cuisine. You have the option of dining either indoors in the dining room that was recently renovated or outdoors on the patio that is bathed in sunlight.
You can choose from crowd-pleasers like crispy pizza Margherita, citrusy Riviera salad, and paper-thin, succulent beef, tuna, and salmon carpaccio. The cuisine emphasizes locally sourced ingredients wherever possible.
Enjoy the Shore at South Pointe Park
One of the main draws of Miami is its pristine shoreline. With lovely sand and sparkling waters, there’s no doubt this is one of the best places you’ll ever visit. In addition, the city’s beloved South Point Park offers plenty of kid-friendly oceanside activities. Families can enjoy a stroll along the paved walking trails, run around the playground, and have some fun in the water at the splash park. The beauty of the South Beach area comes from its incredible versatility. Families especially love this part of Miami because they can enjoy everything about the place while taking in panoramic views of the South Beach shoreline.
