About Zaytinya

Zaytinya brings chef José Andrés' Turkish, Greek, and Lebanese mezze concept to the mezzanine level of The Ritz-Carlton in South Beach. The sleek, modern dining room and poolside patio set the stage for shared small plates like hummus, baba ghannouge, grilled octopus Santorini, and lamb shoulder, paired with creative cocktails and a wine list heavy on Greek and Lebanese labels.

Open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it draws hotel guests, couples on date nights, and locals celebrating birthdays and special occasions alike. The vibe leans upscale yet relaxed, with outdoor seating, a full bar, and attentive table service that regularly earns praise.

Expect a fine-dining price point in the $50-100 range, a dedicated chef's tasting menu for those who want to sample widely, and dishes that hold up well for vegetarians too. Whether stopping in for a quiet weekday lunch or a weekend dinner on the patio, Zaytinya offers an upscale Mediterranean experience steps from Lincoln Road and the sand.
