Why Choose Our Grilled Wild Caught Octopus?
This is not just a dish — it’s a destination on a plate. Our Grilled Wild Caught Octopus brings the sun-drenched coasts of the Mediterranean straight to Miami, combining pristine seafood with bold, vibrant flavors and nourishing ingredients. Every element is thoughtfully chosen to create a harmony of texture and taste: creamy, peppery, citrusy, briny, and perfectly charred.
A Dish Crafted with Fire & Care:
We start with premium wild-caught octopus, gently simmered until tender, then grilled over an open flame to achieve a delicate smoky crust and succulent interior. It’s placed atop a generous spread of house-made hummus — smooth, rich, and deeply satisfying — which acts as the foundation for a colorful mosaic of fresh ingredients.
Crisp arugula adds a peppery bite, while juicy blood orange segments bring a bright, sweet-tart pop. Kalamata olives and capers contribute a salty depth, and thin slices of red onion add a sharp, clean finish. The entire dish is crowned with a drizzle of our vibrant house-made pesto — a fresh, herb-forward touch that ties all the flavors together.
