Edan Bistro

Big thumbs up for Edan Bistro in North Miami. My regular Dining Companion went there last week for lunch with a former dining critic who loves the place. It's run by a Spaniard who was the chef de cuisine at the upscale restaurant that used to be in the Rubell Museum. DC was so impressed that she quickly made a reservation to go there for dinner with neighbors.Great, original food, a blend of flavors. It was described to DC as Basque, but the menu is a mix of concepts at reasonable prices, with most entrees in the $20s. I had a tasty duck at $27 (served with radish slices), DC a branzino at $25. Our neighbors did octopus ($28) and a pumpkin creamy rice ($22). Octopus is notorious for being tough and chewy but this was soft and delicious.We also shared some other plates as appetizers: Mushroom croquetas (five for $15), a tuna cracker ($22) and especially delicious corn and blue crab creamy combo ($22)Everyone raved about the Basque cheesecake (we shared two at $12 each). Wine by the glass was about $14-$16. Service was excellent.They're at 650 NE 125th. Free parking in back.

Amazing gem!!!!Food on point, great friendly staff.10 points on presentation. Will definitely come back again to try more dishes.Our server Angel gave us very good suggestions: croquetas crisp on the outside and a burst of creamyness on the inside.The brioche with steak and and the fresh the tuna parmesan tostadas were a great combination.

So happy to have a restaurant with the caliber of Edan's in our neighborhood. What a delicious treat. We were the first to arrive at 7 pm on a Friday night. The decor is casual and modern. I like that you can come dine without having to get too dressed up but that you won't stand out too much even if you did glam up. Everything we tried tonight was extremely delicious. We did not dislike any dish and already have an idea of what we will be ordering upon our return. We had both the tuna and beef tartar. The beef tartar is presented upon a croissant toast which was a nice twist on a classic dish. The tuna tartar with the crunchy artichoke hearts was great. And the scallop carpaccio was also delightful with the crunchy Parmesan crisp and the smoky ikura. We had the octopus, the fire pies and the duck. All three were great! Even a simple and sometimes boring dish like peas was turned into a fun, brothy, light but flavorful dish. The duck breast was cooked very well with a flavorful and crunchy sear but a medium rare, moist center. The cheesecake should not be legal. Wow. One of the best basque cheesecakes in Miami and I've tried quite a few. Not too sweet, yet super creamy and perfectly runny and burnt. It's a must have. What really stood out for me tonight was the chef. He made sure to go by every table, i noticed. And he also was giving his patrons a 2nd round of wine on the house. And I thought that was an extremely nice touch that you don't see much anymore in the USA. So thank you chef. That was appreciated and noted!I will definitely be returning for the ribeye, the croquettes and the creamy pumpkin rice (and of course the cheesecake). Bravo Edan!

Edan Bistro offers a delightful dining experience that seamlessly combines informal and casual charm with a cozy and inviting atmosphere. From the moment you step inside, the warmth of the setting encourages you to relax and savor the experience. The decor is tasteful, with comfortable seating and soft lighting that adds to the overall ambiance, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely meal.The service at Edan Bistro is exceptional. Our server, Juan Pablo, was a standout. His kindness and knowledge of the menu were evident as he guided us through our dining choices, ensuring we selected the best options available. His recommendations were spot-on, contributing significantly to our enjoyable experience.For starters, we ordered the mushrooms croquettes, which were a perfect blend of crispiness on the outside and creamy, flavorful mushrooms on the inside. The dish was beautifully presented and served at the ideal temperature.Our main courses included the duck magret and the pumpkin creamy rice, a risotto infused with black truffle and garnished with microgreens. The duck magret was cooked to perfection, with a tender and succulent texture that melted in the mouth. The risotto was a culinary masterpiece, rich and creamy with a delicate balance of pumpkin and truffle flavors that left us wanting more.To conclude our meal, we indulged in the Basque cheesecake. It was the perfect end to a fantastic dining experience. The cheesecake had a wonderfully smooth and creamy texture, with a slightly caramelized top that added a delightful contrast to each bite.Overall, Edan Bistro is a gem that offers not just a meal, but an experience. With its cozy ambiance, excellent service, and delectable cuisine, it's a place where you'll want to linger and savor every moment. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

Oh wow, what a find. Honestly never had a better cheesecake, so good!This is your upscale tapas restaurant each portion can be shared by two people nicely. Among the dishes that we ordered duck stood out the best, I think they will recommend the rib eye which is probably delicious too, but I have never had a better duck, it was cooked to perfection. Some dishes were brought out by a waitress and she didn't explain what were the ingredients the way you expect the waitress to do in a place like this, unlike the waiter who explained it every time, so hopefully this is something they can fix.

- What a hidden gem!!- I got the croquettas, octopus, scallop carpaccio, duck, and cheesecake (a must)- Croquettas: crispy on the outside, soft and squishy on the inside- The octopus was a warm dish and it was just ok - Scallop carpaccio sat on a parmesan crisp, great mix of flavours!! Must try- Duck was soooo tender - Cheesecake was fantastic - Service was amazing too, the chef was the one who seated us - Every dish was given a description as it was brought to the table- The wall decor of green certainly doesn't mesh with the quality of food they serve at night. It's giving daytime bakery. There's so much more potential to this place!- Wondering if they're going for a michelin star?? :O

What a great surprise. Delicious and a fun, local atmosphere.Mushroom croquettes were to die for. I could have eaten a dozen.Pumpkin rice was great on its own and as a side to the steak.I rarely order an expensive cut of steak at a place other than a steakhouse, but this was one of the best steaks I've had in a long time.The Basque cheesecake was a well-executed classic. So good.Excellent wine list and friendly service. Highly recommended.

Best shrimp I've had in a long time! Fresh, juicy, and seasoned just right. This café knows how to make shrimp stand out

Great time with my girls today at Edan Bistro. The rib eye was perfect, I really like how they cut the slices with the touch of salt. I recommend eating it with the fries, they were crunchy and paired really well with the steak. Our appetizers were also really delicious and the plates were decorated nicely. Don't share the cheese cake you will be fighting over it with your guest, order 2 instead We will be back to try the 8 course meal, thanks for the the great customer service and attention to detail.

From the impeccable service, cute decor, warm ambiance and delicious food, this local gem deserves 5 stars!We're so glad to have a restaurant that caliber in the neighborhood. We surely will back soon to taste the rest of the dishes. Our favorite tonight were the mushrooms croquetas, langostinas, beef tartare and duck magret.
