L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon

★★★★☆ 4.2 (156) • $$$$

"This is exactly what you would expect with the name and the price. .The space is nice, with the same decor as the restaurant in Paris. It is probably nicer than Paris becuase it is more open and less claustrophoblic. The food was excellent. Well thought out, beautifully presented, and very tasty. What I particularly liked was the variety of tasting menus. There was a 3 course, 4 course, and (I think) 8 course meal. The wine by the glass was superior -- I recommend the Pinot Noir. We had the 4 course tasting meal and we had plenty of food. What made this restaurant stand out from other excellent restuarants was the service. The staff is obviously well-trained and managed. Very professional. The explanations and descriptions were clear and helpful. The food was served and plates cleared like clockwork. Getting high quality restaurant service is hard, but they nailed it.Two comments. First, something seems to be going one with the air conditioning. The temperature varies in different spots. The restaurant has taken steps to address it with portable units (that are unobtrusive), but the landlord needs to fix that. Second, the music is hit or miss. The volume and genre varies. It goes from a nice chill vibe to a pretty aggressive rap. Someone needs to pick a playlist that reflects the restuarant. Strong work."

Cafe Creme

★★★★☆ 4.1 (303) • $$

"A North Miami gem of a cafe located in our 'downtown' right next to the museum and police station. Great atmosphere lots of local patrons and families enjoy the outdoor seating spaces. Service was attentively quick and food came out delicious we were there for breakfast and opted for salmon and croissant spinach Benedicts with cappuccino and strawberry ginger lemonade. Looking forward to a return visit soon."

La Parisienne Bakery

★★★★★ 4.5 (217) • $$

"We started with the almond croissant and apple turnover. The almond croissant wasn't perfumey it was perfect and the apple turnover was jam packed with apples and tasted like butter. We then ordered the vegetable omelet and French toast. The vegetable omelet was very thin with provolone cheese and lots of veggies. The French toast was amazing it was light and fluffy with fresh tart berries and real maple syrup. The best French toast I've ever had. Finally while you're eating they're making bread and pastries right in front of you, it's so entertaining to watch them cranking out food in front of you."

Café Croissant

★★★★★ 4.5 (251) • $$

"I stumbled upon this delightful little cafe the other day while I had dropped my car off for service down the street. If you're like me, and have become completely obsessed with Emily in Paris, this spot allowed me to live my best Emily life sans the impeccable fashion. I sat at the counter and ordered a ham and cheese croissant and a cafe au lait. The ham and cheese croissant was delicious and just perfectly warmed. The coffee was also great. So good, in fact, that I had another. I loved that they had oat milk as an option for the coffee. The total bill for two coffees and a croissant was $14. A total steal. The service was super friendly and you can tell this spot is authentically French. I found this place super charming, and would definitely go back. You can find street parking on Coral Way, as it is in the same strip mall on 17th where Old Libson is."

"Amazing restaurant, beautiful and the food exquisite! Looking forward to going again and again! We met Chef Olivia Ostrow...so nice and an incredible Chef. Loved it!"

Two Chef's

★★★★☆ 3.6 (151)

"A group of ten of us arrived for a special occasion. I have to admit that part of the appeal for the event planners was a bit of spending damage control, as there is an option to select a 3-course meal for $48. Not everyone stuck to the plan, of course, but it helped overall from rash over-ordering, TwoChefs is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking, so was convenient for all. You walk right into the bar area. The bartender was quick to serve and very pleasant to our group, starting the evening off right. We eventually made it overnto our table. The decor wasn't particularly special, but the white tablecloths amped up the overall ambiance. There was not a single complaint from anyone! At the end of the night. Special mentions went to the crab cake appetizer, which was an upcharge from the special--even the two from Maryland gave their stamp of approval. Several got the baked onion soup which was deliciously cheesy, and the classic Caesar salad was a pleaser. For the mains, the sautéed shrimp fettuccine got the most hits. The shrimp were large and tender. The seared tuna was several with a flavorful couscous and the sun dried tomatoes gave it the perfect touch. Two got the mixed Asopao and declared it a hit. The chicken beast with bacon, onion and feta normally comes with fingerling potatoes, but our Keto girl was able to swap them out for fresh vegetables and she was very happy. I personally had the Two Chefs meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I am just now noting that I didn't see any black bean BBQ, and the dish came with asparagus, which is isn't noted on the menu. Despite this glitch, the meal was truly comfort food at its best. I noticed so many of the group complimenting the food to the waiter as he cleared away plates. The only "just okay" dish was my husbands NY strip, which had a $15 upcharge on the 3-course special. His advise was go to a steakhouse for steak. Anyway, every single one of us got a Grand Mariner, Chocolate, or Pistachio soufflé with crème anglaise. They were an awesome perfection. It's not often that you can truly please everyone in a large group, but I'm rating Two Chefs with 5 stars because the chefs accomplished the task with praise."

Armstrong Jazz House

★★★★☆ 4.3 (60)

"Was on our way to grab wine in Miracle Mile and stumbled upon what now happens to be one of my favorite Jazz bars in Miami.There weren't any spots available but Alfred Santamaria escorted us to 2 seats at the bar and our night was extravagant. Let me start with the decor and the overall ambiance. I absolutely loved the way the shape of the jazz house was in accordance to a regular shop on Miracle Mile except the jazz band was the display. Definitely attracts customers and definitely attracted me.There are chandeliers over every table, beautiful lighting, there is an entire shelf wall filled with items that outline jazz culture and just pretty pieces of all sorts of things that adds to the decor.The music.Incredible. The entire band played so well together and got the crowd to sing and dance throughout the night. And mind you, this was a Wednesday night. I can't imagine a weekend.It may have been the wine but I can't recall the name of the saxophonist, but he was amazing. He took song recommendations from the crowd and played for different tables which made the experience more personal.The story of how he ended up playing at Armstrong Jazz House makes his talent even more admirable. Drinks and DessertThe champagne and wine were great. There was an off the menu Prosecco they were testing that I loved.Ended the night with a Tres Leches and were strongly advised by Alfred to have tea with the dessert to give an aromatic experience when combined with the dessert's sweetness.Turns out, I will be incorporating that into my daily dessert dosage now.The serviceSome of the best service I've experienced at a bar/jazz house.Nobody was too busy to help or check on you, despite the place being packed.Sitting at the bar is not my favorite but The bartender was very attentive and sweet and had an elegance to him that made me respect the bar and the overall place. The service and treatment was the same all throughout, whether you were sitting at a table, at the window seat, or at the bar.A truly respectable place.Definitely aligns with the true character of a Jazz House.I will definitely be coming back and recommending this place."

Tablé by Bachour

★★★★☆ 4.3 (53)

"Tablé has such a refreshing ambiance with the option of outdoor seating similar to a sidewalk café moment! The service is incredible and the fried chicken sandwhich was amazing! I love that the bread is made in house along with all of the desserts. The lamb meatballs is a must order for an appetizer. It is so juicy with a great amount of flavor. The Eau D Fleur was the best cocktail! It's sweet and unique. I cannot wait to come back."

La Sandwicherie - Wynwood

★★★★☆ 4.3 (177) • $$

"If you're from Miami you know this place is legendary. This is one place I miss most about living here. Normally we order the tropical sandwich with turkey added. Today we just wanted something veggie since we ordered smoothies too. We shared the avocado baguette with all the veggie toppings for $9. You must use their dressing sauce!!For smoothies we ordered the Rainbow and Deco Beach. The smoothies taste super fresh and perfect for a hot day. All the smoothies and milkshakes are $7. Of the two I preferred the Deco Beach.I absolutely love that the inside dining is dog friendly. Perfect for our pup to cool down with the AC and they also gave me a dog bowl for him to cool down.This place is a Miami staple and they keep their prices reasonable, even though most others have jacked up prices. Fast and friendly service if you're looking for a quick spot to grab a bite!!"

Rendez-Vous Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.6 (190)

"Came here on separate occasions for breakfast and dinner. Croissant and coffee was good. For dinner the complimentary bread was warm and fresh. Had the spinach soup, pasta, and shrimp which was decent. It's a small cafe with outdoor and indoor seating."

L’Boulanger

★★★★★ 4.5 (84) • $

"Small place. Huge croissants. I was very tempted to try one of their massive croissants, but ended up going with their crepes. I had the Nutella Crepe with bananas and strawberries. It was a bit thick with more layers than the typical crepe, but still tasted good."

Yann Couvreur Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (29)

"Decandent is the word that comes to mind when I think about these pastries. It was a rainy Saturday afternoon - we had opted to share a dessert at the cafe after our yummy lunch at another place nearby. The manager was charmed with us and gifted us some extra pastries. What a treat! The Vanilla Caramel one was my favorite! The passion fruit tart was a very close second. We will definitely be back for the table side Mille feuille experience and the bostock pastry that was sold out."

Delices De France

★★★★☆ 4.3 (324) • $$

"The cutest lil French bakery in Miami!Came here early morning Sunday to start the morning with some baked goods and there was already a line outside the door before 8am. Apparently this bakery has been here for years and is a local favorite. The line moved pretty fast and when we came inside, we were welcome by the clean environment. They have menus displayed on their TVs on either side, to the left, an array of sandwiches and what looked to be like lunch options available and to the right was their drink menu. The cases in the front were beautiful and made it hard to choose what baked goods we wanted. The left had dessert items which we had to get an eclair and fruit tart. To the right were their croissants, breads, meat pies, and more! We ended up getting some ham and cheese croissants, turkey and cheese croissants, almond croissants, and a spinach quiche. I also got a decaf mocha iced latte and it was the first latte I've been able to finish in over a year with my extreme caffeine intolerance. I know I got decaf but sometimes decaf still negatively affects me and this one was actually so good and didn't give me any bad effects. I'm excited for my next visit just for their decaf mocha alone because I miss coffee. When all our pastries were ready (we got to-go), we decided to eat some of it outside because there was seating available. There are only a few tables but glad we got to eat them there because the style of seating definitely reminded me of Paris and how close those tables were together in the intimate setting where you could chat with other patrons. The pastries were so good and although not quite the same as Paris, it was close enough. Such a great hidden gem for French baked goods!"

Bonjour French Bakery Café

★★★★☆ 4.2 (606) • $$

"I will go with a low 5 star for this place. I had a Healthy sandwich which has roasted turkey with smoked cheddar mustard and greens. I also had fries and French onion soup. The fries were so tasty and crispy. The French onion was good but not my favorite. The turkey sandwich was really good. I liked the flavor of the turkey a lot.You order at the counter and then take a number and they bring the food to your table. It has a pleasant environment here. I had a Napoleon which was delicious I only tried his dessert and that tasted good. I did not want to sample his meal but he liked it and he also liked his French onion soup.I was surprised with this Symphony cake at my home. Now this is awesome!! It is so light. In fact, there is no actual cake. It is chocolate mousse and I believe canolli cream? If not cannoli cream, then it tastes just like it. It also had some chocolate pieces to it. Really creative and I am not a huge chocolate fan. This cake serves 6 people. May I suggest for just about $7 more you can order the same cake that serves 10 soon to be happy people.This is a great place and they just opened a new location in Pembroke Pines near me. I will be going again."

"Absolutely amazing amazing food. What a great spot. The service is great - they started us off with a complimentary glass of champagne which as a very nice inviting touch. We ordered a few appetizers and everything was great. The portions were very big! For entrees we ordered the rack of lamb and chicken fricasé. Both entrees were insanely good. The chicken fricasé has been on my mind since!"

Gourmet Diner

★★★★☆ 4.2 (64)

"We brought our friend here for lunch today. It was not far away from where she lives -- and it was on my list of "to try" places in Dade County. It's in the middle of a shopping strip on the east side of Biscayne Boulevard. And during lunch, it was surprisingly quite busy. Prices are not inexpensive, but as we learned, portions are commensurate. We decided to have their lunch special -- a sandwich with fries or salad or soup of the day. My husband chose their tuna salad and a Caesar salad; I had a brisket sandwich with a Caesar salad; my friend had a brisket sandwich with a house salad. First, we were treated to a basket of warm French bread and some very good hummus dip. This was a nice start -- and helped the hunger pains while waiting for our entrees. The large salads served next filled up the plates. The house salad came with a side pitcher of house made vinaigrette. The Caesar salads were lightly coated with their own dressing (but no anchovies). The sandwiches came on crusty French bread. His white tuna also had lettuce, tomato and onion on it. The brisket sandwiches were filled with very tender sliced meat and melted Swiss cheese. A bowl of tasty au jus was served on the side for dipping. It was very good. We were too full for dessert, but settled on cappuccino and a cortadito. It was a nice surprise to receive three warm (and gooey) chocolate chip cookies compliments of the house! Their menu is large and has many French offerings. You can order full meals instead of sandwiches, if you wish. I imagine that fine of the "ladies that lunch" there do just that and take half of their meals home for dinner. I'm so glad we went and tried it. Now we know!"

La Crepe Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.1 (168) • $$

"When I think back to a trip to Paris, one of the things I miss was an authentic creperie. Not just those crepes with Nutella you can get at the fair (though they have those too and they're far better than the fair variety). I'm talking savory crepes with buckwheat and great fillings. Have you ever had a chicken Caesar crepe? This one was great. Fresh ingredients. They had lots more French food on the menu too which we enjoyed. Topped it off with a nice iced latte. Inside is small but quaint and we were served quickly. All in all, a true hidden gem. Loved it."

Maman - Sunset Harbour

★★★★☆ 4.1 (7)

"This NYC born & bread (haha, see what I did there) bakery, coffee shop, and restaurant has taken Miami by storm and I'm here for it! After visiting the Wynwood location with my work bestie a few months back to remote work, I knew I had to visit this location when I was in the area after seeing it pop up on Yelp! Parking for this location is similar to anywhere in Miami, metered parking right out front if you're lucky -in this case, I was! It's easy to spot and a beautiful space to walk into. I am absolutely enamored by the decor, color scheme, and elegance this place gives off. We were warmly greeted by the staff when walking in and they let us take our time as we perused the pastry case (which had so many goodies to choose from). The two girls up front were so helpful (wish I caught their names) and I could tell one was training the other; she was so helpful and patient with both us and the trainee. Good service is always noted when experiencing a business and it was exceptional here! Now onto what we ordered- pistachio chocolate croissant (my absolute fav ever), nutty chocolate chip cookie, strawberry & cream beachball, kouign maman, and the cheddar scallion scone. If you know me, I also got the iced matcha latte but this time with honey lavender. Everything was 5 stars! I recommend getting the pastries warmed up as it'll add to the experience and was the only note my partner gave when eating here. The inside is spacious and has so many seats to work from or relax at. Overall, a great location and love that they have multiple now in Miami! If only they were closer to Broward!"

LPM Restaurant & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (447) • $$$$

"As a born and raised Miamian, I know it is hard for us as a city to agree on a lot of things. But it makes sense why the vast majority of people in this city will tell you, LPM hits every.single.time.Why? They have great food, an upscale ambiance and wonderful service. They also serve spectacular tomatinis. The team here just understands hospitality, as well as the art of executing simple French dishes with complex flavors especially well.They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Some stand outs include the warm prawns, escargot, and duck a l'orange. It goes without saying you must order a tomatini which is the essence of LPM in a martini glass. I went recently for drinks for a friends birthday and the bar team was amazing. We said we were going to dinner elsewhere and yet they still brought us snacks and even a slice of vanilla cheesecake with a candle as they sang happy birthday. We were so touched by the polaroid photo and hand written note to wish us a great dinner nearby and thank us for our visit. This to me is Unreasonable Hospitality at its finest, and why I will always recommend LPM as a great spot for any occasion. Shout out to Jonathan, Federico and the other bartender who were a total pleasure when we stopped by on Tuesday. Won't soon forget that experience."

Buena Vista Deli

"5 star service! So friendly! Can't believe I hadn't been here before! There are so many good spots on 2nd ave too but the prices here are really good for lunch! Soup and half sandwich (looked more like a full sandwich portion) for only $11. I couldn't believe it. The soup portion was also a large bowl. Other french fare spots would have charged me double and given me a cup of soup! I will definitely be back for the french onion soup and the other soup specials with a sandwich again. Place is also very quite and good for co-working. Pet-friendly too! :)"

Sérêvène

★★★★★ 4.7 (117)

Lentrecote

★★★★☆ 4.4 (131) • $$$

"This is one of my favorite little spots. They basically don't have a menu, if you come here you will eat a mixed green salad, with candied walnuts, and a mustard vinaigrette. This is served with perfect French bread and real butter cups. For your main dish you will get steak served with their signature sauce and bottomless French fries. The steak is prepared sous vide, which means it is sealed and boiled. This is the only place I have experienced this preparation. Somehow it turns the meat into the most tender cut you will ever experience. You can cut it with your fork. The tables are covered with white butcher paper as the table cloth. One of the coolest things Lenterecote does is come out and stamp the dessert menu on the paper when it is time. There is a Yelp check-in for a free dessert but is only good Mon-Thurs. I had the two traditional French desserts they offer. For my tastes, the Creme brûlée was the one. The Profitaroles were good, especially the melted chocolate, but the pastries that held the ice cream were not fresh. Lentrecote has a solid spot in my rotation of restaurants I revisit. They are unpretentious, and just get down to the few things they serve with excellence. I highly recommend."

La Tartine

★★★★☆ 4.2 (10) • $

"In the former Quiznos spot. They are trying to boost the common sub up to a classier level. The decor is nice and wait staff is friendly.Their vegetarian sub is quite good. The large is pretty big, easily enough to feed even the most hungry.You can get most any veggies you want on it with your choice of cheeses on either a white or whole wheat bun.A great lunchtime find."

Brasserie Laurel

★★★★★ 4.5 (65)

"WOW I really love (not just like) this newish classy French restaurant from the same folks who own Michelin-starred Arite. Service good and atmosphere are about as perfect as it gets.5 star food: simple (mostly) but amazingly good. Their spin on duck ravioli was off da charts papi, and worth the extra minutes of exercise to burn off the cholesterol : ). My partner's sea bass was quite possibly the best I've ever tasted.5 star service: the staffers were a well oiled machine of perfect timing, checking back and cheerfulness. They glide in and out like a silent ballet.5 star ambience: inside it's beautiful and softly mood lit. Outside it's the newest city apartment neighborhood rapidly being built out between Bayside and the Brightline station."

Villa Azur Restaurant & Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.5 (515) • $$$$

"If you come later in the evening, you have to expect to speak very little as the place will be very loud with a club vibe. Also be prepared to spend as this is a pricy place. That being said, we had a nice time a Villa Azur and enjoyed a delicious meal. We have a filet, ravioli, mushrooms, salad and octopus and everything was very good. The wine was overpriced so we opted for cocktails and they were okay. The atmosphere was fun and you definitely want to get up and dance mid-meal sometimes. Service was excellent. This is a nice place to celebrate birthday or some other type of celebration."

Cafe Bonjour

★★★★☆ 4.1 (195) • $$

"I haven't been here in a long time because I always forget their hours and always come when they're closed or on vacation. I was lucky enough to grab a quick lunch before closing this week and I ordered the soup and sandwich combo. The service here is what keeps me coming back to be honest, the staff is so warm and kind. I also ended my lunch perfectly with a nice cappuccino and eclair. I want to come back to buy one of their cakes for an event because they look so good and are so popular! Everyone was picking up/ordering them when I dined."

"10/10 restaurant!!! From start to finish , the waiter was very personable he offered great suggestions & everything was delicious. We started with the flat bread & then had the oysters those were extremely fresh & tasty. The presentation of the drink with the passion fruit lit on fire blew me away but the steak was truly the star of the show & then we got it topped with crab meat. DELICIOUS!! For dessert we had the creme brûlée. We will definitely be back !!"

"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"

The Oasis By L’Edito

"Hidden gem! Found this spot on open table. No Yelp page or google review to be found, I went because of the great reviews on open table and walking proximity. What a find! Inside the building (you go through the front lobby to your right) is an an unassuming restaurant. Quaint, cute, clean, and modern. Service was excellent with Antoine. Bottle of Albariño wine, $41. A steal! It was crispy, tart, refreshing, and delicious. Had the French onion soup, great. The smoked burrata, excellent. The lobster ravioli with shrimp was tasty and just the right amount. The pasta and sea food was so fresh! The chicken tasted delicious in the mustard sauce. The crème brûlée was delectable as well as the chocolate lava cake. The graham cracker crumbs with fresh whipped cream made it! Will definitely be back. Can't beat the prices for the food and service."

"If you're plant based, LeZoo is not for you. They have one option and while it's not a bad one...it's ONE option. I chose the salmon with the pommes puree for myself basically mashed potatoes, an Espresso Martini and a creme brulee to end the night. Martini was good, they add Kahlua to it which was nice but other than that I can't say my meal was too memorable. Grateful for the friends I shared a meal with but I don't think I'd return to LeZoo anytime soon."
