With its breathtaking sunset views of downtown Miami, La Savina Mediterranean Grill at Mondrian South Beach brings a magical taste of the Mediterranean Sea to Biscayne Bay.

I had the opportunity to dine at the exquisitely designed Florida restaurant, and with its bohemian energy and intimate lantern lighting, it exudes a laid-back but luxurious beach house feel.

La Savina’s team has perfectly captured the natural and abundant flavors found on the Mediterranean coast.

Inspired by the island of Formentera, Spain, Morgan Hotel Group's new restaurant concept brings the free spirit, bohemian sensibility and culinary bounty of the Balearic Islands to South Beach. 

Eliciting the spirit of these magical islands, La Savina Miami offers a simple mix of fresh crudos, grilled meats and fish, artisanal charcuteries and some of the best seasonal vegetables in South Florida.

La Savina Miami features an award-winning culinary team led by Morgans Corporate Executive Chef Tien Ho (Momofuku, Best New Chef Food & Wine). 

Specializing in simple, highly flavorful chargrilled meats and fish prepared in the classic “a la parilla” style, Chef Ho intends for guests to share their meals and experience “in the style of Mediterranean families, who socialize for hours over beautiful meals with incredibly fresh seasonal ingredients.”

Signature dishes include:
  • Crudo offerings like Hamachi with Serrano chili, crispy shallot and lime
  • Roasted Carrot Salad with feta, cherry peppers, tomatoes and pistachio vinaigrette
  • Valencia Rice with braised kale and slow-roasted tomato
  • 24-ounce Niman Ranch Grass-Fed Ribeye
  • Whole Florida Yellowtail Snapper “a la parilla” with chargrilled lemon and salsa verde
Signature cocktails include:
  • West Avenue made with Bacardi Rum, strawberry cinnamon Falernum and lime
  • Roasted Rosemary Old Fashioned made with Old Foster, rosemary and orange bitters
  • “Savina Sangrias” including flavors such as Rosemary Pear, Ginger Pineapple and Hibiscus-Lemon
