EL TURCO – Middle Eastern
El Turco Turkish Food runs twin dining rooms in Miami's Buena Vista and Design District neighborhoods, both built around Michelin's Bib Gourmand distinction, held every year from 2022 through 2026. The kitchen serves an all-day Turkish menu anchored by kahvalti breakfast spreads of fresh cheeses, olives, tomatoes, honey, and warm simit bread, alongside manti dumplings in yogurt sauce, menemen scrambled with tomatoes and peppers, and izmir kofte, baked beef meatballs in tomato sauce with roasted potatoes. A vegan bowl layers kisir, sarma, hummus, and kopoglu with warm pide. Miami New Times named it the city's best Mediterranean restaurant in 2023.
