Metro Organic Bistro: Healthful Fare in Miami

March 11, 2014 10:14 am

As the name suggests, Metro Organic Bistro is Miami’s destination for organic fine dining. The small menu features light American fare and most ingredients are organically grown and locally sourced. Recommended starters include the salmon carpaccio with fennel and capers, as well as the croquette salad, beets and warm goat cheese croquettes over a bed of baby arugula. Entrees range from sandwiches and burgers from grass fed beef, to steaks and chops, including free range braised chicken. Vegetarians and meat eaters alike recommend the sprouted chickpea cakes topped with avocado, butter beans, tomatoes and a lemon vinaigrette.

The 1950s South Florida architecture and simple modern decor give the place character and friendly service ensures an enjoyable experience. Indoor dining is limited, but there is plenty of space on their patio.
