This place can be a bit on the pricey side, but it never disappoints. The food is consistently high quality, and every visit has been a great experience. The flavors are always on point, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the preparation. Even though it's not the cheapest option, the reliability and quality make it worth it. It's one of those places you can count on for a great meal every time. read more

We took a couple of our friends visiting from California to Bouchon Bistro for brunch, and it absolutely did not disappoint! This place truly caters to all your senses -- from the elegant ambiance to the incredible flavors and presentation. Let's start with the desserts -- not only are they stunning to look at, but they actually taste just as amazing as they appear. The rose-shaped cake we tried was a work of art, and when we cut into it, the cake was perfectly moist and flavorful. Huge kudos to the pastry chef for hitting the mark -- it's rare to find desserts that are both picture-perfect and delicious. My husband and I both ordered the eggs Benedict, and they were cooked to perfection -- rich, flavorful, and beautifully plated. And the coffee? So good that we all ordered an extra one to go! High off an excellent brunch, we left ready to explore Coral Gables and already talking about when we'll be back. Bouchon Bistro is a must for anyone who appreciates exceptional food, service, and presentation. read more

What a beautiful French restaurant! We went to enjoy some traditional French cuisine. The only downfall was it gets quite hot in there, but luckily they were able to pass us out some paper fans. They put a piece of braided bread on our table with french butter (if you know you know) so delicious. The Som recommended a delicious red to have with the food. I forget what it was called, but it tasted like a cab. We did the Miami Spice menu. I started with the escargots de bourgogne. Absolutely delicious snails with a garlic butter and puff pastry. For an entree I had the steak frites, but i subbed mashed potatoes for the fries. WOW these were some of the best mashed potatoes I ever had. Buttery, smooth, decadent, I ate the whole plate. Way better than the fries. For dessert I had the bouchons au chocolat. They were warm and delicious and topped with vanilla ice cream and a chocolate sauce. Our waiter was very nice and prompt. No notes 10/10. Actually, get stronger AC LOL. ;) read more

I came here with a friend. We decided to check out the Miami Spice menu. We made reservations and we were sat immediately. The waiter was very nice and helpful. They brought out a fresh loaf of baked bread and a side of warm pistachios. We both decided on the escargot for our appetizers. They came out very hot. They had little flaky pastries on top of them. The escargot was very small. I've had them several times but they've never been this small before. But they were delicious. As our main entree we both ordered the steak frites. The filet mignon was delicious with a tasty herbed butter on top. The fries were ok. They seemed like previously frozen fries. Not the high quality you would expect at a restaurant of this sort. But, the steak was perfect and that's the most important thing. For our desserts we both ordered the Bouchons au Chocolat. It was yummy, but honestly it just seemed like a cylinder shaped brownie. They were very small, which was perfect because by that point in the meal you're already pretty full. A small amount of dessert is all you need, and even then, we didn't finish them. I usually like to have a glass of wine with dinner, but it was VERY expensive (even by the glass)! The Miami Spice menu was $60 per person and the wines were $30-45 per glass on average. It was pretty busy on a Friday night and it got pretty loud. We could hear each other fine, but I got a call and couldn't hear anything on the phone. They charged us $7 for the flat water and added an 18% tip to the check. Our checks came to $80 pp. So if you're going out to try the MS deal, plan on spending more than the $60 price. We parked in the garage next door and parking was $5. We tipped extra because our waiter was really nice. read more

wow- incredibly romantic date night spot. This place was busy in the dead summer which says a lot for a Miami eatery. The exquisite high quality food, attention to detail, and highly professional servers were a standout. I came for the Miami spice and was NOT disappointed- escargot, fish and dessert I'll be dreaming of for days.... A total treat. read more

We had an exceptional dinner at Bouchon Bistro in Coral Gables. The entire staff was extremely knowledgeable and attentive, and we appreciated that the restaurant was family-friendly, with a few kids present during our early dining experience without any issues. Dinner started with a warm bread service, along with homemade butter and pistachios. The meal itself was exceptional, with dishes like escargots and steak and frites cooked to perfection. The escargot were a group favorite! They were topped with a puff pastry and marinated in the most amazing garlic butter sauce. The truffle potato special, which came with potato dumplings topped with fresh truffle shaved in front of us, was a highlight of the meal. The steak and frites were cooked to perfection, medium, rare, and just melted in our mouths. If we ever came back, we would definitely start with escargot and have the steak and frites again. We also tried the mussels which were so fresh and cooked in this savory and herby butter wine sauce. The wine list was pricey (which made sense for this type of establishment), but we were able to find a more affordable option in the La Fete Du Blanc, which paired perfectly with our food and was just as incredible. The desserts were also incredible, with the citrus tart and crème brûlée being standout options. Overall, we had a fantastic time at Bouchon Bistro and would definitely return. The delicious food, good wine, and excellent service made for a memorable dining experience! read more

Decided to try out this restaurant as part of Miami Spice. Great selections for dinner for this event! Service was courteous and professional. Restaurant is good for any kind of dinning whether family, friends, or date night. All our food selections were fantastic. The filet medium was juice and perfectly cooked. The escargot were very flavorful. The deserts did not disappoint our sweet tooth either. I look forward to coming again to try other menu items. read more

Very nice ambiance inside, great service but food was a bit disappointing. I got the lamb and it turned out to be very traditional French, the beans very very tasty but the lamb itself was underwhelming, I think 3/5 for the food, but 5/5 for the service and decor, so that ended up lifting my overall impression of the evening. read more

Bouchon Bistro - Bistro martini - French Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

I had my first visit to Bouchon Bistro and overall really enjoyed it! The food was delicious -- my steak was cooked perfectly, the oysters and deviled eggs were spot-on, and the service was super friendly. The only thing that kept this from being a 5-star experience was the pacing. We arrived a little after 5 when the restaurant was empty, but everything came out way too fast. Before I could finish a bite of my oysters with my cocktail, the first course was already hitting the table. At one point, we had bread, pistachios, deviled eggs, escargot, and gazpacho all crowding the table at once, and I hadn't even settled on wine yet. It felt rushed, and for a Thomas Keller restaurant, I expected a little more thoughtfulness in timing. That said, the flavors were fantastic, the vibe was great, and I'd definitely come back. Next time, I'll just make a point to ask for a slower pace so I can really relax and enjoy it. read more

I've been to the other Thomas Keller restaurants. This was the first time I've left one disappointed. My experience with the service was altogether positive. The staff were friendly, courteous, and attentive. And while the service was a bit slow, that was a reflection of the precision and care that it's provided. This was consistent with the product I experienced at the other Thomas Keller restaurants. The restaurant itself was also beautiful. Frankly, the interior was better than the Bouchon Bistro in Napa. I loved the natural light and decor. My only feedback would be to soften the walls to reduce the noise in the restaurant (without losing that beautiful natural light of course). The issue we had was in the back of the house. First, my mother was disappointed by the lack of quiche, which we were informed was not to the chef's standard. Fair enough, but then the French Onion Soup we had was also subpar by tasting far too sweet. We asked for a croissant, which was not available. Again, I understand there's no bakery there, but it's still disappointing. As was the presentation of the baguette, which lacked the distinctive ear that was so obvious when we had it in Napa. And finally, the steak served with my steak frites was criminally small. This was mentioned on other reviews I've seen. Pictures from other reviews also show some variance on the size. I understand that it's a filet, but I think disclosure on portion size or consistency is in order. I don't like leaving negative reviews about such relatively minor things. But there are clearly issues in the back of the house that are tarnishing the Keller brand, which was (at least for me) flawless up to this point. read more

I returned with a coworker and I agreed after sharing my previous review (below). Sat at the bar and we ordered to share. I got to say that this visit was a way way better experience and I have to give it to the bartender. Great recommendations, generous service and even took back the french fries as they were just a liiiiiiittle over cooked. Didn't even complain, he just did and he was right! Not salty too. Steak was delicious and so was the fish! Great improvement without reservation, food was not salty, and perfect service. Looks like my previous review made some noise. Thank you chef! read more

Are you ready to be transported to Paris? Bouchon Bistro in the Gables literally feels like you've traveled to Paris, you're just missing the smell of cigarettes. The place is stunning plus I'm a sucker for wine, bread and a good deviled eggs. We started off with their gorgeous onion soup, careful it's hot but it's so hard not to dive in. Their escargot with puff pastries is pure art and it makes me wonder why more restaurants aren't doing this. Each bite is the perfect bite. It's not French unless you get a steak frites and we upgraded ours to a ribeye with an incredible marbling. You can tell the cow was well fed because that meat was tender and buttery. The trout is a gorgeous mix of texture with snappy green beans and crunchy almonds and served with such luscious mashed potatoes. We were lucky enough to try all 3 of their desserts their BOUCHONS AU CHOCOLAT , that brownie was perfectly crispy and the perfect ice cream companion, their creme caramel is the French equivalent of a flan but the part that I was refreshed by was their amazing house made sorbets we got mango and guava and I was in heaven. Take advantage of their Miami Spice menus, it's the perfect date night, for just $60 bucks it's like traveling to Paris. read more

We've been to all three Bouchon locations, Napa Valley, Las Vegas, and here in Miami our home! So happy chef Keller brought his restaurant to Coral Gables. Food and service are always excellent. I don't know how they manage to consistently have the best mussels I've ever tasted. Always plump and juicy and no sand! Even the ubiquitous steak frites is brought to another level with such high-quality ingredients, care, and execution. And OMG the crème brûlée is so much better here than anywhere else, it reminds me of the way Jacques Torres served this dessert at the original Le Cirque in New York...Don't miss it! Traditional appetizers including escargot and country pate are truly as good as it gets outside of France (and even better than many bistro's there). Can't recommend Bouchon more highly! read more

We had the most wonderful brunch at Bouchon Bistro. The specials were amazing, and we took a chance on the duck confit in a pastry shell. Fabulous! The wine list complimented our choices throughout. Every dish was just as it should be. The service was attentive and genuinely friendly. Coffee afterward strong, but not bitter. We sat in the outdoor courtyard, and the ambiance was ideal for the weather. Beautiful, leafy green, shady but still bright. Will definitely return. read more

When a Thomas Keller restaurant opened in the Gables I was elated at this fine dining option in the area. While I have not been to dine at the restaurant, I have made several visits to the bar which is absolutely fabulous. Think upscale French Brasierrie with good cocktails and cozy ambiance. At first, I didn't think the bar scene at such a nice resataurant would be particularly easy to snag a seat at, but it is! They have a super friendly and knowledgable bar team (shout out to Ray and co for the delish martinis). I've enjoyed dirty martinis, carajillos, French 75s, and French martinis there on my visits and all were great. They also have a solid wine selection. My go to bar snacks are oysters and beef tartare, with the escargot rounding it out for a solid third choice. I need to make my way to dine at the restaurant, but the bar definitely has a hold on me as of late. They also offer happy hour Tuesday - Sunday at the bar or in the courtyard from 4 - 6 pm with cocktail and food specials. We love a good weekend happy hour! I will most definitely be back. read more

Can not believe the review is not even 4 stars. The foie gras was absolutely delicious! It was perfectly seared, incredibly fragrant, and well-seasoned. It melted in your mouth and paired so well with the thin toast underneath. It was such a treat. Although foie gras can be rich, I had no problem finishing a whole serving here. I also tried foie gras at Hell's Kitchen, but Bouchon really blows it out of the water. The baked escargots with puff pastry were both fragrant and crispy. The escargots paired with the flaky puff pastry were great, though eating more than a couple can get a bit heavy. The garlic butter mussels were tender and juicy. As a signature dish, it was really impressive. The fries served alongside were also delicious--crispy, made from fresh potatoes , and reminded me a bit of In-N-Out's fries. The dishes we tried were a bit greasy, and I started to feel a little overwhelmed . Probably shouldn't have ordered all of these at once, haha . You might want to try the lamb chops or duck leg next time. The custard ice cream puff dessert was fantastic! The ice cream was soft and creamy, almost like a delicate custard, but still ice cream. It was paired with fresh chocolate molten lava, and the combination of cold and warm was perfect. It was so refreshing, and I couldn't resist having two! read more

2nd time here. One of my favorite places to dine. There aren't many places this sophisticated in Miami. I prefer quiet, under-the-radar neighborhood establishments which cater to those diners who can actually distinguish quality of ingredients, skill of execution and what the food is supposed to be like in the first place. You'd be surprised how difficult this is to find in Miami, a town which excels in instagramable moments and forgettable food. Typical of a Thomas Keller property, the dining room is appointed with luxurious details everywhere you look but the star is the food. From the crispy pig's ears, fois gras, steak frites, roasted chicken, gnocchi with shaved black truffles, oysters and frisée aux lardons salad to the tarte au citron, everything was perfect. To be honest the only weakness is that the service seemed slightly overwhelmed and we had to request for our table to be bussed. The music was great, the cocktails spot on. One request, can French restaurants please bring back vichyssoise? All the early 20th century French classics have returned to our tables but this one which is sorely missed. Highly recommended for those who want real French cooking in a polished dining experience read more

We came to Bouchon bistro having visited the original location in Napa 3 weeks prior and wow. We were again blown away by the incredible experience we had. The food was mind blowing and the service even better. We were particularly grateful to Jordan a veteran of NYC fine dining who recently moved to Miami to work at Bouchon, he made our experience next level. We will be making another trip back to Miami soon for the bistro! read more

Classic French done right -- just bring your wallet. Bouchon delivers exactly what you expect from a legit French bistro: escargots bubbling in garlic butter, foie gras that melts like velvet, and duck confit so crispy and rich it should come with a warning. The steak frites? Textbook. Perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and paired with fries that are dangerously addictive. It's a quiet, elegant space -- great for a slow dinner or date night -- but don't be shocked when the bill hits. You're paying for precision, ingredients, and that Thomas Keller polish. Worth it if you're in the mood to splurge. read more

What else can we say that hasn't been discussed. Service was impeccable, food came out in a timely manner, and it was cooked perfectly. Ambiance is just perfect. We arrived a little early so that we could sit at the bar and have a few drinks while our table was ready. The bartender recommended a few drinks, and we enjoyed the whole experience. Some people actually ate at the bar, and it seems like a good idea for next time... not so formal. After all, it is a Bistro. It's definitely worth coming here. read more

We were able to score a last minute reservation. We have been to the one in Napa in 2021 and it was really good. I have to say the service here though blew it away. They were very lovely and constantly attending to our table. Food was great too. Photos to follow of course. The building itself is very nice and the bar ambiance is nice too. I would definitely hang out at the bar. The only downside is the difficulty in scoring reservations because of the massive bots that troll these resy and tock websites. Anyway thanks again read more

Service- outstanding and maybe overkill for a bistro. I don't need multiple people serving and cleaning the table. This is not the French Laundry. Food- not up to the hype. French onion soup- I tried this at every French restaurant and this one was too sweet and too thick. Salmon tartar special was delicious. I love steak and pay premium price for premium cuts, but I felt the pricing was egregious for the type of cut. Flat iron is no filet mignon so the price should have been less. Although it was tasty ( didn't take a picture). Oysters- I expect oysters to be cleaned well especially at $6 an oyster. I've eaten plenty of oysters at different restaurants around the world and at different levels of service so I know what to expect at different price points. As a purist that likes my oysters without condiments, I can say the selection of oysters were great ; I just didn't like the random pieces of shell and gritty bite. Ambiance- quaint especially since it's located in the historic La Palma hotel. Bar- great service at the bar. The bar had a great selection of liquor (I'm always happy when I see Chopin). Service is definitely a 5. Food is good but overpriced. I really wanted to love this place especially since I will be eating at French Laundry soon. I could not in good conscience recommend anyone to go here because you'll leave feeling unfulfilled by the dining experience. Try it out for yourself but be warned that you will overpay. read more

Great meal at Thomas Keller's newest Bouchon Bistro in Coral Gables. Started off with excellent home baked bread and butter along with house pistachios. Shared the Bibb Lettuce and Smoked Salmon appetizer--both very good. Enjoyed the pan seared steak frites cooked a perfect medium at the chef's recommendation (more like medium rare, which I prefer) that was topped with butter; quite tasty. Finished the meal off with dessert by sharing profiteroles and an excellent, light crème brûlée. I had a glass of red wine, friends ordered sodas. Total bill, with additional tip on top of the 18% service charge, came to $115 each--quite reasonable given the caliber of food here. Nice ambiance and very attentive wait staff. Will return. read more

3.5 stars, rounding up due to the good and vibe. Miami spice review : definitely a great bang for your buck. We started with the escargot , delicious. The little puff pastries on top were a nice touch. The steak frites was great, the steak was a little small but flavorful and cooked perfectly, I wish the fries had some sort of sauce or dip. Finished with the profiteroles which were kind of hard, the ice cream And chocolate were fine but the cake part was chewy or Maybe just stale. Other notable gems were the French 75 and the deviled eggs. I don't know if I will be back because it is very expensive ($22 for a bowl of French onion soup). But if you can come for Miami spice or happy hour at the bar I would recommend doing that! read more
