Narbona Coconut Grove

It's like you walked into the most delicious of European bakeries, ready to sit and enjoy life for as long as you would like. It is a bit unexpected as you walk in from the humidity of Miami, and then are presented with such a delightful ambience. It may have become my favorite coffee bar in the city.Everybody was so nice. From the gentleman at the entrance who held the door open for our stroller and then found a spot where we could park it away from the bustle, to the Coffee bartender who was so sweet with our daughter and doted on us as if we were million dollar clients. We only got some sweets and coffee, so we cannot comment too much about the food. But everything looked wonderful. And we were just so happy to relax in this space. We highly recommend it for locals and tourist! This is a wonderful place to come and hang.

My friend and I came in to try the Spice menu but unfortunately it was during that gap between 4 and 6 that the spice menu wasn't available. That's ok. We sampled some dishes from their main menu and they were spectacular. We tried the special of filet mińon and pappardelle pasta in a cream sauce that was not heavy or overpowering and a crab ravioli with shrimp on top in a pink sauce. Very noteworthy dishes. And how can I forget the amazing beet and mandarin with goat cheese topped with micro greens to start. Great flavor combinations, especially the dressing on the side. We tried the grilled octopus but that one dish I've had better. Service was spotty. We had to ask a few times to refill our waters and look for her to ask for a few things here and there instead of her coming to our table but nothing too bad. The only strange thing is there is no bathroom in the restaurant. You literally need to step outside of the restaurant and use the Coconut Grove public restrooms. Not a far walk but just random. They have a really cute market in the restaurant with packaged items to take home and desserts. All in all I'd like to return and try some other things off their menu. The food really was good!

It was a Sunday and Coconut grove was packed for brunch.My friends and I decided to give Narbona a try for brunch.We were quickly seated. The service here is always on point ! I ordered the croissant egg sandwich. Over all it was decent. It wasn't the best though. I think that this spot is more of a spot for pasta.It was a decent brunch. But I wouldn't come back here again for brunch. Only for the pasta or gelato.The coffee was a 6/10.The price was average prices. Overall a classy vibe in coco walk. Good for families . I want to come back for the pasta for dinner !

What an awesome little gem tucked away inside Coco walk. Great menu featuring fusion style dining. There is something for everyone on the menu. My daughter and I were craving Italian so we ordered the gnocchi and and a pastrami and sausage pizza. They had tasty baked goods as well. I purchased the croissant muffin filled with caramel. I just couldn't resist. It tasted as good as it sounds. We did explore the market located inside of the restaurant to the back and found a variety of gelato flavors and tasty Italian treats like salami, prosciutto, pasta, and cookies to take home. We enjoyed our food and our time at Norbana, will definitely recommend and will visit next time I'm in town.

Great great great great eating.I madly adore Narbona Key Biscayne - and I am just as happy at Narbona Coconut Grove.My sister - who is a demanding eater and is fussy about what she will pay for - has Narbona Coconut Grove has one of her regular reliable places.I do not disagree.I am generally a huge Uruguayan food fan ... and have yet to eat in a Uruguayan restaurant I don't like.(I have no doubt that Montevideo is filled with terrible places waiting to ambush me.)But even with my massive pro-Uruguay bias, Narbona is objectively a fine place.* * *We ordered off their Miami Spice menu.Non-Miami-People: This means an off-season specialty menu designed to bring in diners during the slow season. This is usually a prix fixe for a limited number of selections that will be cooked en masse.Generally the price is right, and they pick some of the most popular dishes on the menu.At Narbona, the price is right but they worked up a special set of unique dishes just for the occasion.So you can't have, what I had.Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah.* * *However,a) If you are in Miami, and b) If you are reading this before September 30 2024, THEN get to Narbona Coconut Grove as fast as you possibly can.These dishes disappear in October and you don't want to miss them.* * *Rest of the review for normal conditions.a) A hallmark of a good Argentine or Uruguayan restaurant is a good house vermouth.(Here called rural vermouth for no good reason). Narbona's house vermouth is absolutely first rate.It is much lighter and more citrusy than most other house vermouths I have had.That makes it perkier and more interesting.I personally am of the savory and mellow vermouth school.But I like Narbona's alternative.When it is 98 degrees out with a humidity of 150 percent,I like Narbona's alternative even better.b) My brother in law ordered a complex house salad off the regular menu.He is an even more demanding eater than my sister.He loved his salad.* * *How would I rate the regular menu?Well, the regular menu at Narbona Key Biscayne is delightful.And places that make food to die for on their special menus are usually not too shabby on the everyday stuff.The night we ate at Narbona Coconut GroveEverybody died and went to heaven.* * *So I think a five star rating here is pretty accurate.

I love the setup, lighting, feel and atmosphere of any of the Narbona markets. They really know how to marry the concept of a market and an open kitchen restaurant.All the offerings are excellent...from baked goods to soups to salads, to their grocery items.Their jams and oils are top notch quality.Stop here or at any of the other locations when you get a chance, you will love it.....

Narbona offers a fantastic dining experience with a great ambiance. The decor is beautiful, though it can get a bit loud due to the mostly tile and hard surfaces. The food quality is top-notch; we particularly loved the baked Parmesan, shrimp pasta, and crab ravioli with shrimp. The mojitos were excellent too. Overall, a wonderful place to dine with friends or family. Highly recommended!

Came here for the first time and I must say it was decent .... Prices were somewhat normal and we enjoyed our breakfast here .... Had a mixed drink that as very very good and wine selection is decent and prices aren't crazy ..20% tip added to any size party (this seems to be normal now in Miami) service was decent but not great ...Place is large ... would come back again if in the area !

We stumbled upon this gem in Coconut Grove and were so pleased we returned the next day too! The ambiance is bright and inviting and the service is great also. We came for a quick breakfast before a meeting we had in town and this felt like dining at someone's home. The coffee drinks were fresh - I had a decaf cappuccino and my friend had a latte. We both ordered the croissant sandwich with eggs and bacon and avocado with a fresh salad on the side. What a delicious and healthy meal. Will absolutely return the next time I'm in the Grove.
