EL TURCO

El Turco in Miami is a Michelin Bib Gourmand-recognized Turkish restaurant built around an open-air cafe setting and a home-style approach to traditional cooking. Co-founded by Nurdan and Gokhan Yuzbasioglu, the kitchen sticks to classic recipes and imported ingredients rather than contemporary fusion, with an expansive Turkish breakfast spread, handmade manti dumplings in garlic yogurt and spiced butter, and daily-baked borek and simit among the highlights. The Buena Vista patio is cozy and colorful, decorated with traditional Turkish tiles and textiles, and suits everything from a long weekend brunch to a relaxed outdoor dinner or afternoon tea.
