From the Mediterranean Sea to the shores of the Aegean, AVA MediterrAegean was born from resilience, natural beauty, and a philosophy of togetherness. A story of flavors, design, and community is ready to unfold this November 2025 in Coconut Grove.

Set to open later this week in Coconut Grove, AVA MediterrAegean is a modern Greek agora concept by Riviera Dining Group that reimagines Mediterranean dining as a multi-sensory journey where cuisine, design, and atmosphere converge. Inspired by the Greek words for life, water, island, and bird, AVA embodies vitality, freedom, and connection, offering a transportive escape that is both timeless and contemporary. With locations in Winter Park and Miami, AVA blends French technique, Mediterranean flavors, and cosmopolitan sophistication. The menu pays tribute to the Cycladic region, balancing tradition and modern interpretation with dishes that highlight the purity of the earth and sea.

Extending the experience beyond the dining room, AVA MM offers an exclusive members’ retreat featuring refined Japanese cuisine and curated cultural programming.

AVA MediterrAegean is located at 2889 Mcfarlane Rd in Coconut Grove.
