Costas Spiliadis' Michelin Guide-listed South of Fifth institution featuring a live seafood display from which diners select whole fish for charcoal-broiling — open since 2012.
Estiatorio Milos was founded by Greek-born chef-restaurateur Costas Spiliadis, who opened the first location on Park Avenue in Montreal in December 1979 with the mission of elevating Greek cuisine beyond its stereotyped folklorization. Spiliadis built the brand methodically over decades, expanding to Manhattan, Athens, Las Vegas, London, and other cities. Estiatorio Milos Miami Beach opened in August 2012 (with a soft launch in May) in the South of Fifth neighborhood at 730 First Street, the brand's fifth location. The interior was designed by Jeffrey Beers International and features white linens, natural wood, large windows, an open kitchen, and marble sourced from the mountains of Dionysus in Greece.
Premium Greek seafood flown in daily from the Mediterranean. The experience begins at the fish display: a dramatic presentation of whole fish and shellfish on packed ice, where diners can select their fish, which is then prepared simply (typically grilled with olive oil and lemon). Signature dishes include the Milos Special (a layered appetizer of thinly fried zucchini and eggplant with tzatziki), grilled whole branzino, tender octopus, and lamb chops. The cuisine philosophy is ingredient purity: letting the quality of the raw material speak, with minimal intervention.
Estiatorio Milos Miami Beach holds a MICHELIN Plate designation (awarded 2022), recognizing its exceptional culinary craftsmanship and fresh seafood. The brand is globally respected as one of the definitive Greek seafood restaurants outside of Greece, with locations in several of the world's most demanding dining markets (Manhattan, London, Athens).
Dress code is business casual to smart-elegant: polished attire recommended (stylish separates, dress shirts, cocktail dresses). Reservations recommended, especially during Miami Spice; call directly at (305) 604-6800. Valet and paid street parking available. A noteworthy tip: ask for a guided tour of the fish display: the staff will walk you through the day's selection and help you choose, part of the signature Milos experience. Whole fish is typically priced by the pound on the regular menu (and can add up), making the Miami Spice fixed-price dinner an exceptional value here. During busy periods, service can feel hurried. Located in South of Fifth, one of South Beach's quieter, more residential neighborhoods. Miami Spice 2026: dinner only, $65, available every day (Mon–Sun).
