Best New Restaurant (Broward)
Mykonos
Mykonos isn’t just a new restaurant amid many in Fort Lauderdale — it’s an unforeseen waterfront vibe. Tucked between the Wharf and the buzzy Swizzle Rum Bar and Drinkery along Fort Lauderdale’s New River, this sleek Greek stunner brings a taste of the Aegean to SoFlo with crisp tan hues, flowing fabrics and an open-air patio that could’ve been plucked straight from the islands. It’s where coastal chic meets city sleek, with plates of grilled Spanish octopus, peach stracciatella and lamb lollipops gliding out of the kitchen like edible art. And here’s the newly-established, Broward ultimate pro move: slide next door to Swizzle Rum Bar before or after noshing for a dinner-drink combo like few others (and, yes, Mykonos has its own stellar cocktail and wine list, too). From date nights to group hangs, Mykonos delivers the kind of dreamy, detail-rich dining that makes you forget you’re not actually on the Mediterranean vacation of your dreams.
