Pega Grill: Downtown Miami's Mediterranean Gem

In the vibrant heart of Miami, where the city's diverse cultures come together, you'll find Pega Grill, a Mediterranean haven crafted with love and passion by the talented Claudia Romero and her husband. The restaurant has become a household name for those seeking an authentic taste of Mediterranean cuisine. In this blog, we'll take you on a journey through Pega Grill's story, its delectable offerings and the vision of its dedicated owner, Claudia.


Claudia and her husband embarked on their first culinary adventure over a decade ago when they opened Bellmónt Spanish Restaurant in Coral Gables. However, things took an exciting turn when they acquired Pega Grill in May 2019.


While Claudia and her husband had been at the helm of Pega Grill for four years now, the restaurant has been serving the Miami community for over 12 years. They recognized the value of preserving the restaurant's legacy and thus retained many of the menu items that had won over loyal patrons. Even the dedicated employees who had been a part of Pega Grill's journey stayed under the new ownership.


Claudia's passion for exceptional food led her to make some improvements, including sourcing top-quality ingredients from around the world, enhancing the flavors of each dish. Claudia's dedication to excellence shines through in her philosophy: "I'd rather serve something I know is really good than something I don't like."

To attract a broader audience, Claudia introduced a brand-new brunch menu during the pandemic. This innovative move allowed Pega Grill to continue serving its community and expand its reach during challenging times.


Pega Grill has firmly established itself as a staple in downtown Miami, drawing in a crowd of young professionals working in the area. Its popularity is further amplified by a legion of loyal customers who frequent the restaurant, some even visiting 2 to 4 times a week. The warm ambiance, coupled with impeccable service and mouthwatering dishes, keeps diners coming back for more.


However, the journey for Pega Grill is far from over. Claudia and her team have ambitious plans for the restaurant's future. They aim to expand the outdoor seating area following the completion of their buildings beautification project. The expansion will also allow them to serve brunch every weekend.


To cater to all diners, Pega Grill has recently extended its hours until 7 p.m. from Monday to Friday. This thoughtful adjustment allows guests to enjoy Pega Grill for brunch, lunch and an early dinner.

Furthermore, Claudia's commitment to excellence extends beyond the kitchen. She emphasizes the importance of self-improvement, not just as a business owner but as a manager who knows the ins and outs of every aspect of her restaurant. To achieve this, Claudia regularly participates in professional workshops, demonstrating her dedication to personal growth and her team's success.


In conclusion, Pega Grill is not just a restaurant; it's a labor of love and a testament to the power of authenticity and dedication. Claudia Romero and her team have created a Mediterranean paradise in the heart of Miami, inviting all to savor the rich flavors they've perfected over the years.
