La Fresa Francesa

unexpected gem of french food with a latin twist, in hialeah of all placesi tried this place for dinner (i know a lot of the reviews talk about the brunch), even for a thursday night it was pretty packed. i wasn't expecting such a nice place to be in such a tiny shopping center, but i was pleasantly surprised. we had a wonderful server, too. she was busy, as i said before it was full inside, but she still made plenty of time for us and was attentive.everything we ordered was cooked to perfection, especially that gnocchi. sometimes i still think about it. i plan on coming back here to try the brunch as well, hopefully next time i'm back in town.

French restaurant with some Latin fusion twist items with delicious French dishes to serve. Great food at a great price! Staff if very courteous and helpful and attentive to your every need. Mood is set with is low light with soft music playing in the background. We were a group of four and did this outing family style. We tried many dishes that were delicious. Escargot l, French onion soup, Arugula salad, the pastelito guava with pate, pork shop and the ribeye special. For dessert we had the crepe dulce and the Suzette and the crepe brûlée. Of the 3 desserts I would say the crepe Dulce was the best.

Such a wonderful little restaurant. It doesn't look like much from outside - tiny parking lot in a little shopping center in Hialeah. Inside however you will find an adorable restaurant with great service and excellent food.The decor is cozy and feels old timey french. Staff were very welcoming and were helpful and quick when something went wrong with our order. We had a spinach galette and a brie sandwich. Both were excellent, but the galette was a show stopper. Everything down to the potatoes on the side was wonderful. The price was extremely fair, especially for the quality of the experience. I think it was about $40 for two people with tip. A great value for such a cute place and great food. This might be one of my favorite meals I've had in Miami. Do yourself a favor and go enjoy some brunch here!

Went on a Sunday afternoon for brunch and had a fantastic brunch experience for a dear friend's birthday. I will preface to say I do not normally venture into Hialeah and the terrible parking lot situation at the restaurant had me to an irritable start but it mostly only got better from there. All the food and drinks we tried were amazing, the service was just a tiny bit lacking. Nothing egregious but our waiter was a bit snappy when we were expressed we wanted separate checks and saw them after that few and far between. The bacon dates were delicious, as was the pear jam and Brie sandwich but the standout was the croque Madame. The pink sangria was good and honestly stronger than it tasted! For dessert we had a few different crepes. Do yourself a favor and get the French butter option. The cafe bonbon was a great choice to finish off the meal. Will definitely be back.

La Francesa is a hidden gem in Hialeah. It is located in a shopping center off of okeeckobee road where you would miss it if you didn't intentionally go there. The decor is as French as the name. It is a small place with a lot of character. The food is amazing. No one appetizer or dish we had was better than the other. The service was amazing. I requested a Baileys with dessert and they did not have because they only serve wine and beer and the bartender mixed me a drink that was just what I needed. They were accommodating to our party even though it was busy. I could not recommend this place more. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Cute place, nice ambience and great service. Food was tasty with the crepes being a standout. Price for what you get is a value. Felt at home enjoying time with the family.

What a great find! On a lazy Sunday afternoon, my husband and I found one of our favorite restaurants in Miami or should I say Hialeah. Reservations are helpful but we arrived without one and we were seated quickly.The ambiance was incredible. As you walked through the door, you entered into a world like no other. It felt like you were in a salon in Paris in the 1920s.Our server guided us through the menu. There was so much to pick from and before we knew it, we had ordered the bacon wrapped dates, the ham and cheese complete galette ( it's a buckwheat wrap with ham and cheese with a fried egg) and Le Grand Fresa Burger. The food was amazing! Everything was perfectly seasoned. My husband and I cannot wait to go back. We already know what we want to try on the menu. Maybe we will run into each other. Let's try the Iced Latte again or maybe the Guava Bellini...Yum!

Of all places I have met Owner / Chef Benoit several times in Reno at Belleville.So on a recent pass through Miami I made it a point to stop here to eat. What a great bonus to discover he served brunch on the weekends, so Saturday morning I ventured up to the Hialeah area. I was greeted promptly and offered a seat, which I requested on the small patio out front. It was a gorgeous sunny morning and I wasn't going to was any of it.The brunch menu was fabulous, if I hadn't already had my heart set on a croque madam, it would have been a difficult decision. The fresh bread was layered with thin slices of ham and gruyere cheese and perfectly grilled, then blanketed with a silky gruyere cheese sauce and topped with a farm fresh soft egg. The bonus to sandwich were the duck confit potatoes. Mmmm. Accompanied by a fresh guava mimosa. How much better could the day start than all of this. The staff was fantastic- refilling water, offering another mimosa and clearing the table while I just enjoyed the morning.I can't wait to stop in again on my next pass through Miami. The evening menu looked just as delicious.Great hidden gem

Always yummy. A Hialeah staple. Authentic French food with a Latin twist. Eggs cocote for brunch with a French press is always a must.

A hidden gem. I would've never expected to have such delicious French food in Hialeah. I didn't get to take a picture of the appetizer but the cheese with the honey and the French onion soup were delicious. For our entrees we had the steak and frites, a short rib pasta that was the special of the day and the gnocchi. All the entrees were delicious. Somehow after all that we still had space for dessert and they did not disappoint either. We also got to enjoy half off wine. If you like a good selection of wine and a good deal go to la fresa francesa on Thursdays. Our group enjoys wine but we don't really know how to pick it but our waiter was super helpful and recommended a delicious red wine to pair with our food.Now that we have talked about the food, let's talk about the place...the restaurant is not very big but they make great use of their space and it's super cute.
