Abbalé Modern Mediterranean Kitchen - Aventura

Abbalé Modern Mediterranean Kitchen brings a modern Mediterranean menu with Israeli roots and Latin touches to Aventura Shopping Center. Founded by Chef Sam Gorenstein and Pura Vida Miami founder Omer Horev, the kitchen turns out wood-fired seafood, house-made hummus, fresh pita, crunchy cauliflower with tamarind glaze, and whole branzino, all finished with seed-oil-free cooking oils.

The dining room mixes cozy and upscale touches with a full bar, patio seating, and a private dining room for groups. Expect a bustling scene on weekend nights, with Saturday dinner service regularly hitting full occupancy between 7 and 9pm.

Meats are served kosher-style, and the kitchen offers vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options alongside a curated wine list and cocktails. Whether it's a weekday lunch, a Miami Spice dinner, or a birthday celebration with a custom menu, Abbalé works for locals from nearby Aventura and tourists staying along the Sunny Isles and Aventura corridor looking for a memorable Mediterranean meal in the $50-100 range.
