Located on Washington Avenue in Miami Beach is El Patio Restaurant, a vibrant and cozy restaurant that makes you feel like you are at home and having dinner with family. As soon as my guest and I stepped inside, we were impressed with how warmly we were greeted and how the staff were eager to help us find our seats and to have us begin our culinary experience.
And what an experience it was! We left not only with full bellies but with our hearts full as well.
Located at the Kimpton company’s Anglers Hotel, El Patio offers a menu full of tapas, Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine, as well as hand-crafted cocktails that perfectly match the energetic feeling that you get when visiting Miami Beach.
As you walk inside, you’ll be immersed in a lively environment, one where bright décor and colorful Miami-inspired artistic elements reign throughout. That, and the option to eat outdoors when the weather is just right, beckon diners to enjoy a dining experience at the restaurant.
When you think of the dining experience, visualize it as one where the staff will treat you as family and the food is as aromatic as it is delicious. From tapas to main dishes that are meant to be enjoyed together with your plus one or party.
While the restaurant focuses on Mediterranean and Spanish-inspired dishes, this is a place where the food represents heritage, culture and the magic of connecting flavors as you would connect people with the goal of getting to know each other and to learn from each other. The food is a lesson in flavors, and you will have the chance to pick from some truly diverse dishes.
At El Patio, you will find food such as delectable paellas featuring sizzling seafood, chicken or veggies, meant to be enjoyed as a group. This was one dish that we tried and highly recommend, for as you taste it you will feel the care that came with the preparation.
There are also plenty of tapas to choose from, such as Cuban chicken soup, pan con tomate and crowd favorites such as crispy pork belly and yuca fries. You’ll have a hard time deciding what to nibble on, as you explore the varied and expansive menu.
Lastly, the cocktails are refreshing and include a selection of flavored mojitos, a true Miami staple, as well as wines, beers, and other tropical cocktails that will inspire you to branch out and try something new besides your usual drink of choice.
A tropical dining hideaway where the food dances to the beat of culture, you won’t regret a visit to a place where you will enjoy a warm environment and unforgettable food.
