great spot to grab a bite in coral gables! i went here on a friday afternoon around 2PM and there was no wait. they have a large selection of sandwiches, pancakes, french toast, and latin american inspired foods. i got the Zeus ($23) and really enjoyed it. the portion of skirt steak is generous and i really loved all the different flavors going on, from the sweetness of the plantains to the tanginess of the steak sauce. one of the better sandwiches i've had in a while especially for the price! and the service was quick and friendly, i sat at the bar and my bartender was great. food came out in 8 minutes. this is a spot i'm definitely coming back to! their drinks look fantastic, i have my eyes set on that pistachio latte. read more

Bistro Cafe definitely felt a little overpriced at first glance, but the portion sizes and flavor helped justify it. The servings were huge and everything tasted fresh and well made. My husband ordered the Basic Omelette with ham, onions, peppers, tomatoes, and mushrooms, and they absolutely loaded it with veggies. It was packed with flavor and very satisfying! I ordered the churrasco gyro and it was delicious! Generous portions of meat, fresh veggies, and plenty of tzatziki. The salads were also surprisingly good with just the right amount of dressing. A few disappointments: the potatoes are fried rather than roasted, there's no gluten-free bread option, and they don't offer decaf coffee. Overall though, the food was flavorful, filling, and worth trying if you're looking for hearty breakfast/brunch portions! We will be back. read more

I did not sit in to eat, but the place looked cute and like it had a good vibe. Menu had sooo many options Iced latte it was insane came with a cup rimmed with caramel and cookie. Very sweet but good Chicken Caesar wrap was huge. Chicken was very fresh and there was a lot of of it. Love that the wrap was coated in Parmesan cheese. I like when there's a mix of salad dressing and chicken so this was a little more chicken than I'd like but good bang for your buck read more

Stopped by Bistro Café and overall had a good experience. I ordered the crème brûlée latte and a gyro. Both were delicious. Highly recommend the latte if you like something a little indulgent without being overly sweet. Service was a bit slow, but the staff was friendly. Not overly crowded or loud for a weekday. Despite the slight delay, I'd definitely come back again. read more

Brunch again with my favorite person and once again, Bistro Cafe does not disappoint. The menu is almost overwhelming in the best way possible, with so many delicious options ranging from sweet to savory and everything in between. No matter what you order, this place consistently delivers. It does get quite busy, so coming earlier is your best bet if you want to avoid the crowds. This time we were taken care of by Arnaldo, who was excellent and attentive. I started with a cappuccino made with almond milk and ordered the ribeye steak Benedict, requesting the hollandaise sauce on the side. My daughter chose the ham, egg, and cheese sandwich on a croissant, and we shared the crazy French toast. Portions here are massive, so be prepared to share or take food home. The atmosphere is lively, with a scenic view of Coral Gables. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, along with pay to park street parking and a nearby garage. The food comes out quickly and is always fresh and delicious. This is typically our one meal of the day when we come because it is that filling. Bistro Cafe has several locations, but the Gables location is my favorite since it is quieter than the location downtown. It is easy to see why this restaurant is so popular! They truly live up to their reputation. I highly recommend sharing dishes so you can try a variety of items, and definitely check Instagram beforehand to get a sense of the extensive menu. They even have the QR code on their menu! read more

Had a delicious breakfast at Cafe Bistro in Coral Gables. It's a great place at the corner of Altara Ave and Laguna Street, with a really nice outdoor seating area, a friendly atmosphere, and friendly staff. I had the Salmon Egg Benedict, and it was absolutely delicious. Great food, a relaxed vibe, and a perfect spot to enjoy breakfast outside, a little away from the too-crowded area in Coral Gables. read more

A few months back, my daughter and I spontaneously decided to treat ourselves to brunch in Miami. We started with a fun stroll at a nearby outside mall in walking distance while we waited for a table. A plate of smoked salmon avocado toast with burrata was the real star that day and felt more indulgent than it had any right to, and an espresso martini that hit all the right notes. It was a bit busier than what we were looking for as far as atmosphere and service was not necessarily a standout, but I will be back because it has a lot to offer and I need to try more scrumptious items. read more

Such a great place for Saturday Brunch! First time visitor with a group of six. We got a table outside, which there were many options and they also had lots of indoor seating. To start we ordered cappuccinos and lattes, which were absolutely delicious the cappuccino's come with whipped cream and cinnamon. for food we ordered the Gaucho omelette which had steak, green peppers, onions, and sweet plantains. Someone also ordered a huge fried chicken and waffle plate, which could easily be shared by two people. The croissant sandwiches were also really good. Our waitress was friendly and attentive even on a busy Saturday. read more

The first time I visited here, I was blown away by the dish I sampled. I left my review as an extremely short version (less is more sometimes) - by saying mike drop, just go! I came again for a quick impromptu lunch pit stop and ordered the same dish. I cannot remember the name of it, but it is under the "stuffed avocado" section and included steak and shrimp. It was still a good dish but it was not as well put together and not as pretty as the previous one. A little slap dash. The flavours were there though. I really enjoyed the guava sauce that they incorporate in their dish, and I had to ask for more. The service was also a little slow. Still it is a great place to visit. read more

The food and mimosas were great! We had two types of the avocado toast and both were delicious. They have a very large menu with a lot of options. It was hard to choose what to eat. The mimosas were buy one get one free. Yelis provided great service and was very helpful with questions we had about the menu. Service was quick. We were seated immediately upon arrival. The atmosphere was relaxing. Would definitely recommend! read more

We ordered the shrimp tacos, huevos vegetarianos, and blueberry pancakes. The restaurant is incredibly generous with both portions and flavor--everything was absolutely delicious. They actually recommend checking out their Instagram for dish photos since not everything is listed on the menu, and it's a great way to know what to expect. The shrimp tacos were a standout--super flavorful. We opted to skip the cheese, which turned out to be a good call, as it might have been a bit much. The huevos vegetarianos came loaded with perfectly crispy fried potatoes, which hit the spot and added just the comfort we were craving. As for the blueberry pancakes (we think they were made with ricotta), they made the perfect dessert to wrap things up. Great service, great vibes--definitely a brunch spot worth coming back to. read more

Curiosity killed the cat--and my appetite. Despite the long weekend waits at this Merrick staple, the food fell flat. The only upside is the portion size, which is huge, but the flavors are confusing. The chicken and waffles lacked texture and tasted more like stuffing than fried chicken, and the burrito had a strange hot-dog-and-egg flavor profile. It's a great spot if you're looking to get full, but a miss if you're looking for a great meal. read more

My birthday behavior this month continued with another brunch here with a couple of friends from high school ie fellow 50 year olds. Located in the heart of the Merrick Plaza mall, this is a cutesy place to enjoy a celebratory brunch. Logistically, it is close to one of the self parking garages as well as a Valet station (though I don't like letting anyone drive "Tiffany" #iykyk. I don't believe the restaurant takes reservations; our group of 3 signed up at the hostess stand and waited around 30 minutes for an outside table facing the street and great for people watching (as well as inspiration from their plates). The inside space looked cozy but the AC was a little cold for our preference. Their social media famous pancakes are worth the hype. One of my friends ordered the savory "Los Nobles" - a 5-stack of fluffiness with ham, eggs, cheese and a hint of sweetness. We also tried the chicken tostones (basically a sandwich of green plantains, eggs and chicken) as well as the cordon blue waffle sandwich (chicken, ham and rich melted cheese). Let's just say the portions were generous enough to share the plates between our group and still have to take home. Their colorful beverages notwithstanding, I stuck to a classic mojito. The win here is that they make their drinks with real ingredients (mint leaves, sugar rim, etc) instead of just a syrup. read more

I am truly impressed by this place. I came here for brunch with a couple of girl friends. I was expecting a typical brunch experience but I was gladly wrong. Nothing ordinary here. The place had a very nice ambiance. From the neon signs to the full sized mirror that took up a whole wall. The bathrooms were decorated with that classic Miami flare. On to the food: The coffees were over the top with different kind of sugar coated options and designs on the coffee. Absolutely beautiful. I got the Chicken cordon Bleu waffle and it was huge!! One of the best chicken and waffles I've ever had. And the portion size was gigantic!! Only ate half. My friends got the Nutella pancakes that's looks heavenly. If you have a sweet tooth this is the dish for you. Other dishes: the French Toast was also very beautiful and tasty with the berry compote that came with it. My other friend got the salmon sandwich and which unfortunately I didn't get to try cuz that girl ate the whole thing!! So I can imagine it was that good. Our waiter provided excellent service. He came several times to check on us and even was nice enough to take a picture of us. So sweet!! Definitely get a bang for your buck. I don't mind spending $$ for great portions and delicious food. I will be back! read more

One of the best breakfast spots around!! Plenty of seating inside and out! They have fans outside for warmer days. We were sat very quickly on a Saturday morning. Service was quick and our waitress was super sweet and explained everything! Definitely get on their IG and order from there it's easier than the menu plus you can see pictures! The food is amazing! The pancakes were so fluffy and warm! Bacon was thick cut and perfectly cooked. The skirt steak omelette was so flavorful! The coffee drinks were like a meal in themselves!!! 10/10!!!!!! read more

This place hands down has a great menu. I love the avocado with skirt steak. The pancakes are great. They have a QRcode menu as well and an instagram page which illustrates the items on the menu. There is side parking and there is a garage close by that you can pay $4 an hour. Noelia was our server and she provided great customer service. I suggest to arrive early or visit during the week when is not that busy like the weekend. This restaurant does not allow you to make reservations online and is only in person. The place looks very nice. They have a bar. Overall great breakfast spot and lunch spot. FYI look at your bill tip is already included. Make sure to see if there is no up charge for cheese on certain meals. read more

Its been about 4 months since i visited here and how quickly somethings have changed. The staff is friendly, courteous & professional as always trying to serve you quickly & accurately. Plenty of paid parking around. This comment is for management/ownership. Food taste is good as before but portions have been drastically reduced by at least 50% on the oatmeal with fruits it is now about the size of childrens portion for the same price very disappointing when our main reason for coming here was the abundant, generous portion of oatmeal they served before. When asking we got some lie about the previous bowls breaking really? I said you mean bowls were changed to give your long time customers less? unfortunately many restaurants that start doing this dont end well so good luck on that one. Not sure i will return here. I rate this place now about 3.5 stars read more

someone from the thesis hotel actually recommended this place as a popular breakfast spot. I'm always skeptical of recommendations, but the place was packed when we got there, It smelled amazing, the menu was huge and slightly overwhelming, but every single thing that came out of the kitchen looked spectacular. The drink selections were fun and creative and instagrammable if thats your thing. I think that you could pick something blindfolded off this menu and love every bit of it. try their pistachio latte! read more

Came here for the first time middle of the day on Saturday and was seated immediately inside. Loved the ambiance and the service was very good. The food was great they have a bunch of options. I went with the steak cheddar burrito and side of potatoes and they were delicious. There was so much damn steak! The burrito was so big could feed 2 people. My girl loved the egg croissant more than the pancakes, and the coffees were good too. Would definitely come back read more

Regular customers for years, but today's experience was unacceptable. The server was rude, slow, and dismissive, barely checking on our table. We were dining with small children and felt treated as an inconvenience. When we questioned the automatic gratuity, the manager responded rudely, defended the server, and implied the poor service was our fault -- in front of our children. Completely unprofessional. We will not be returning. read more

This was my first time here I must say This place is a must try for breakfast, Sitting is a bit small but they have ample sitting outside , under shade trees. Nice breakfast Menu I started with a regular coffee , but they have many crafted coffees they are an art work of coffee creations. They also do drinks. The vikingo omelette is was amazing huge full of tender churrasco steak, pork among other things it was one of the best I've had in a long time . The toast was crunchy and delicious . My daughters French toast filled with layers of ham cheese and eggs was a work of art of a French toast, they were 3/4 thick it looked so yummy, so was my wife's blueberry cream pancakes were also well done .The food here is a work of art , a must try . service was also great , I was surprised the food came out right away cause this place was packed full of people inside and outside. ! We will be back for sure . To many other items I want to try . read more

Place is great, spacious and well decorated. Service was very good as well. The food was delicious!! All servings were good enough that 2 people can share a plate. Definitely delicious. The only drawback is the extensive menu that was a bit overwhelming, to include the prices. Location, location, location-always important, but prices could be lowered just a tad. Either way, great place for brunch without a need to eat again until dinner time. read more

Bistro Café - Stuffed Avocado with Skirt Steak - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

Outdoor terrace is lovely. Food is good, but not for the price. I ordered the vegetarian eggs, sunny side up. Eggs were light yellow (cheap eggs), no vegetables, a few slices of avocado, a few plantains, but mostly potatoes which weren't bad. I just wasn't expecting a large plate of carbs. I had a hard time returning it. Ended up ordering a granola fruit plate, which was good, if you don't mind spending $20 on non-organic fruit plate with a scoop of yoghurt in the middle. Was worth being able to work on the lovely terrace! read more

Our breakfast was a 7 out of 10, the service as well. The execution of greeting needs improvement. Handing a crowed restaurant is often misaligned in management. Our wait was 35 minutes at prime time 12 noon on Saturday. Unfortunately for this establishment, it appeared that their shift change occurred at precisely the same time, which limited the amount of wait staff to address the flow of business. Many tables were cleared but no one was seated, causing our wait time to increase by 20 minutes. Which was frustrating for more than enough customers. read more

The food and vibe lives up to its instagram worthy pictures. Servings are huge, the pancakes and creativity are amazing, and the drinks we tried were great! We opted for the Viking omelette and the meat was tender and flavorful. We upgraded to the guava pancakes and those were great although be warned, the creamy cheese as a tang to it (intentional) so if a sour cream/yogurt flavor is not your jam, choose something else. My daughter got the eggs, bacon, and Dubai chocolate pancakes...yes please! Bacon thick and perfectly cooked and the pancakes...who can resist! We tried the lavender and also the pistachio lattes. Both good and great presentations, but for the price point, we probably wouldn't do that again. Overall 5 stars for food, but I feel overly pricey and that drops me down to 4 stars. read more

I like this place as the quality is good and it is across the street from where I live but it is very pricey. For example, I just ordered egg whites (probably 3 eggs), toast and coffee and the bill--with tip--came to $29. Ridiculous....I don't care if there's bird flu, Kung fu or whatever. Too much, which is why I can only give 3.5 stars. For perspective, I get 2 egg whites, a bagel with cream cheese, oatmeal and coffee (with free refills, unlike here) for $15 with tip at Bagel Emporium (which will be relocating 2 blocks up the street in a few months). The best bet here is the combination breakfast in which you get 2 eggs, pancakes, and bacon for $14 (not including coffee and tip); except not every day do I want all that food and no way should what I ordered above (eggs only) cost twice as much for less food. Another time I ordered just a croissant (very good and large) with coffee and the bill came to $12-14 with tip. I can get a croissant with coffee and tip for $8 at nearby Nordstrom Ebar. Not questioning the quality of the food here, just the prices/value relationship on a number of items. The prices prevent me from becoming a regular customer; wish they would offer more reasonable options on "smaller portions" for those who do not stuff themselves at breakfast every day. read more

I decided to treat myself by coming to my favorite bistro in Coral Gables. Bistro café is a block or so away from the shops at Merrick Park It was pretty full so I decided to sit at the barrista bar. Joseph, my server was outstanding. From the moment I walked in when he greeted me and while answering all of my questions. He was enthusiastic, he definitely knew the menu well I ordered a cappuccino and the egg white croissant sandwich, but substituted the mozzarella for Manchego cheese. It was quite tasty and a good portion. I ended up taking half home. I really enjoy the vibe here. It's casual yet classy, and very centrally located. This is one of the many reasons it's one of my favorite places in the area. Make sure not to miss it if you are in the Gables area. Buen Provecho read more
