I had brunch here this past Sunday with a few friends, and once again Café Noir did not disappoint! While it's a kosher dairy restaurant (no meat is served), they offer an excellent selection of breakfast, lunch, fish, and sushi. Even if you don't keep kosher, it's absolutely worth a visit because the food is delicious and the presentation is beautiful. I ordered the Breakfast for Two (about $38), which was an incredible value. It included cappuccinos, fresh orange juice, three eggs per person, a croissant, your choice of a baguette or multigrain bread, individual salads, and an impressive tower of spreads including tuna salad, feta, olives, pickles, and more. Everything was fresh, plentiful, and beautifully presented. One of my friends ordered the Eggs Benedict. It normally comes with smoked salmon, but the staff was happy to accommodate her request to substitute mushrooms instead, which we really appreciated. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating--we chose to sit inside since it was a hot South Florida morning. One fun touch was that the menu was displayed on an iPad, which made browsing the extensive menu easy and interactive. If you're looking for a wonderful brunch or lunch spot with fresh, high-quality food, generous portions, and excellent service, I highly recommend Café Noir. It's become one of my favorite places, and I'll definitely be back! read more

Looking for an upscale kosher spot, with lounge party vibes. This is that spot! Finally tried this spot out because I've heard great things. We went on a Monday night around 7pm and it was packed. We sat at the bar and got served right away. The ambience is dark light, music and sparkles for birthdays. The waitresses at the bar were friendly and tentative. The menu is unique, especially being a dairy kosher spot. We tried the spicy tuna roll to start which was fresh. My mom got the salmon Asian salad, which came out before my main meal, which was kinda annoying since she had majority of her meal by the time I got mine, but I got the baked ziti and it came steaming hot! I kid you not it was steaming for a good 5-10 minutes but I really love this dish. Highly recommend for pasta lovers. Prices are higher per usual for a kosher spot but definitely worth a visit. Would love to come back to the more dishes. read more

We had a great dining experience here! The food was excellent, and we especially enjoyed the sushi--it was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The restaurant has a very nice ambiance that made the meal even more enjoyable. Service was decent despite how busy the restaurant was. A helpful tip for first-time visitors: the place gets quite busy, but there is additional parking available in the back. Overall, we had a wonderful time and will definitely be back! read more

Really good food, not so great service. Don't even bother coming on a weekend the vibes are there but it's very very busy. I don't know how we got a table on a Saturday night without a reservation, but even so I only catch your waiter once to order, and then won't see them again. Loved the food, as I usually do, but on a crowded night which is usually every Saturday night it's impossible. read more

Ill start this off by saying park in the back. The front area has a lot of "parking for [] only" and is always full anyway. Just park back and walk through the outside pathway to get to the front. That being said, we were lucky for the rain cause last time we tried going to this place even the back was packed. This time we had a spot and got in. I want to start the actual review with the service and odd vibes that happened. The service was very slow and we found ourselves either waiting a long time or doing something ourselves to not have to wait. It started from the moment we were seated. We were left alone not given water or anything for a super long time. When we finally had our waitress arrive we were just ready to order everything at once. The odd vibe thing that happened was that at some point (I think it was before we got our food) someone who worked there with a professional camera asked for a photo. We declined and noticed after the person didnt ask anyone else. We made a joke about how it was probably so we can be a token lgbtq customers, but im thinking maybe its because we were in our running clothes so stood out compared to others (most folks there were either dressed less casual or at least were wearing jeans or something). Either way it was weird mainly because we didnt see her ask anyone else. The food arrived a bit out of order (we got our entrees first) but im assuming its cause they probably have two different kitchens (they have a huge array of food types). We ordered sushi and this is where I became my own server and got up to get the chopsticks near one of the kitchens. We also asked a server for water since through the time of the food arriving (we basically were done with our entrees by the time the sushi and specialty roll showed up) our waitress disappeared. She reappeared with the water after the server told her (though it did take long from the time we asked the server). Once we were done fully, our waitress disappeared again. Most of the time she was at a table with other waitresses talking. I want to note there was another couple seated near us who were seated after us (we had ordered by the time they sat) and they had the same waitress but got food way quicker and I feel the only reason the waitress checked up on us is cause when she checked on them, we flagged her down to ask for boxes to go and the check. My partner ended up having to go to the sushi area to ask for a bigger box since the waitress gave us two small ones and the other half of my baguette caprese didnt fit in it. The guys at the sushi area gave her a odd stare when she asked. The only saving grace to this place is that the food is good. I really liked my sandwich and the rice with avocado. Didn't like the salmon roll cause it was too fishy but thats a personal taste thing as my partner liked it. I would say if you come here order take out and ignore anyone staring at you like you dont belong. But I would definitely not eat in again. read more

Had an amazing experience at Cafe Noir. The malawich and shakshuka were absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The tuna salad was also excellent and definitely worth ordering. The restaurant was very clean, the service was great, and everyone was welcoming and attentive. As someone who lives in Atlanta, I don't get quality kosher food like this very often, so it was such a nice treat to come here and enjoy such a great meal. Definitely a 5-star experience and I'll absolutely be back whenever I'm in South Florida again. read more

Café Noir - Bars Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

We went to Cafe Noir right after landing in Florida and it ended up being such a lovely surprise. We didn't have a reservation and the indoor tables were fully booked, but they sat us outside and immediately brought out heat lamps that made it cozy even though it was pretty chilly. They also brought waters right away, and I loved that the menus were on iPads but some were dead. We started with two salads the sweet potato salad and the Greek salad and the sweet potato salad was definitely the standout. Everything tasted really fresh: romaine, mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, onions, and feta. The crispy sweet potato on top was SO good and honestly a little addictive. For mains, I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was a bit overcooked, but the batter was light and flaky, and it came with thick fries, tartar sauce, and coleslaw, which was classic but tasty. I also tried the pesto gnocchi, which I actually liked even more. The sauce had a rich, nutty flavor, and the Parmesan melted beautifully into it. The stir-fry was more on the average side and the salmon in it wasn't anything special. Dessert good. we tried the Ferrero dessert, the chocolate soufflé, and the panna cotta. The chocolate soufflé was easily the winner: warm, rich, and gooey, with vanilla bean ice cream that balanced it perfectly. The Ferrero dessert tasted like the candy it was good, but not amazing and the panna cotta was nice and creamy. read more

If you wanna overpay for food that was probably microwaved and service that is non existent, oh and you must pay 20% gratuity then this is your type of place. I had the melawach sabich and it was tiny a normal size melawach is much bigger than this sorry sandwich. The food was cold most likely microwaved and the service was horrible no one came by to refill water or see how anything was. read more

Café Noir - Diego Enrique enjoying thr food and the ambiance !!!!!He is the king - Bars Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

This cafe is located in the same plaza as the Florentin bakery I felt like I had to also give it a try. When I entered, the ambiance was steadfast modern with black and gray color scheme with thin lined tables. The full liquor and barista bar was also modern and flowed perfectly with the rest of the restaurant ambiance. Sat at the bar and the staff was attentive and personable. They offer kosher Austrian espresso, which I have never tried until now. The taste was smooth and extremely strong which I cut with sugar and cream. They have a large outside patio which was full of customers. The interior seemed more of a high-end dinner space. The bathroom was ultra modern and spotless with brown wood walls and large gray ceramic tile. read more

Look here, this was place absolutely does not need another review. However, when you from the DMV and you catch a vibe, people eating and celebrating you have to tell folks to go here. Food was good. Service from the hostess to my high table near the serving station was great. Ladies were welcoming. They allowed me to move inside. I didn't know outside was smoking. Who smokes in 2026? But that's whomevers thing. They whisked me through the doors. Also, seen families bringing the kids out. Music was great, loud but great. I got to go to the "club" watch families/friends wave their flag and celebrate birthdays. My only complaint- yall make enough money to change those chairs! Stop playing. Loved it! Cant remember names on menu: Stir fry Fried Cauliflower Truffle fries Cabbage salad with cashews Salmon egg rolls Sushi Sweet Potato fries Avocado egg rolls 2 pizzas Yummy Need a clone location in DC or outside of DC read more

Had a wonderful dinner here! The food was fresh, healthy, and full of flavor. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the service was excellent from start to finish. The whole experience exceeded our expectations, and we'll definitely be back. read more

Not a bad place at all. We ordered pasta, which was good, and the pizza was tasty too. The only thing is the crust could've been a bit firmer--since the center was a little soggy, it was hard to eat without a fork. The Greek salad was flavorful, though one of the olives still had a pit, and my husband almost chipped a tooth. That's likely not the restaurant's fault--they probably use pre-pitted olives and one just slipped through from the supplier. Service was pleasant and friendly. We sat outside, which was a nice shaded area and well-covered in case of rain. The only downside was the number of flies--we had to keep covering our food. Overall, it's in a nice location with light background music, and the food came out quickly. read more

Café Noir - Bars Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

This place has a HUGE menu and a TINY parking lot ... and it is 1000% worth the trouble of finding a spot any morning of the week! :) This place knows good kosher food, but you don't need to keep kosher to enjoy their dishes. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to eat in the area; this place is leagues above. Service is welcoming and efficient. There can be quite a crowd, but the staff seem to handle it in stride. The inside is cute and spacious. There's plenty of tables and booths. One note, though, I thought it was quite cold. I will be back again and again. read more

It's a really really nice pumping restaurant. The music is too loud and it's a little bit dark. I hate eating in the dark and it's very very expensive. You wanna go with your kids and your cousins that might not be the best rest unless you're OK with paying $1500 for the table otherwise you can go there with your wife. Enjoy yourself a nice meal to 300 bucks and have a good night service is decent but they get lost they take your order and then come back 25 minutes later no mid. read more

Had a wonderful time here! Ori is a lovely server and went above and beyond. Food was delicious and drinks were great

This review isn't about price, kosher standards, or menu expectations. It's about execution, listening, and what happens when a restaurant operates without meaningful local competition. Café Noir benefits from a unique position: it is one of the only kosher dining options in the area. That status matters, because it shapes expectations on both sides of the table. Diners quietly lower the bar, and the restaurant appears to operate accordingly. The unspoken psychological contract becomes "this is what you get--take it or leave it." People should know that before they sit down. I proactively tipped $10 at the start of the meal, fully aware that a standard 20% gratuity on a ~$100 check would still be expected at the end. The pre-tip was not leverage or entitlement--it was a good-faith signal. I also made a specific, reasonable request: that my food be cooked well done. Nothing off-menu. Nothing outside their stated capabilities. I asked clearly. I received explicit confirmation that they could do it. They did not. The food was sent back twice for the same issue. Not because the dish itself was flawed or the ingredients were poor, but because the kitchen failed to follow a straightforward instruction it had already agreed to. After the second attempt, I declined to eat what was offered. Not out of frustration theatrics, but because at some point repetition stops being corrective and starts being futile. This is where Café Noir's market position becomes relevant. When customers have limited alternatives, mediocrity becomes normalized. Follow-through weakens. Precision slips. The incentive to listen closely erodes. That dynamic was evident here. What's frustrating is that I did everything customers are often criticized for not doing: I was clear and polite. I set expectations upfront. I showed appreciation in advance. I gave the kitchen multiple opportunities to correct the issue. The outcome did not improve. Pre-tipping is often discussed as a way to encourage better service. In this case, it revealed something more structural: when clarity, patience, and goodwill don't move the needle, the problem isn't attitude--it's process, accountability, and a lack of competitive pressure. Café Noir may be acceptable if your priority is simply having a kosher option and you are willing to accept inconsistency as part of the package. But if you value execution, attentiveness, and having confirmed instructions respected, you should calibrate your expectations accordingly. This wasn't about being demanding. It was about being ignored--confidently, repeatedly, and without consequence. And that, more than anything, is what people deserve to know. read more

Cafe noir is my absolute fav! The options here are endless, so I guess I gotta keep coming back to try everything!! I've tried a few brunch options and have never been disappointed. Their limonana and coffee are incredible as well. On the weekends it's pretty packed, so make sure to make a reservation. If you haven't tried out Cafe Noir, be sure to get out there soon. Yum!!! read more

Café Noir - Bars Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

Went to cafe noir yesterday evening and found the management of the restaurant to be overwhelmed and incapable of handling the size of the crowd. I had reservations for a party of 5 for 8:45pm. I was not seated until after 9:30pm and not before several words were exchanged with the manager. The air in the place where i was seated was saturated with very loud music and filled with clouds of cigarette smoke. The lamp on the table must have been powered off a 2-volt battery as I literally could not see the food I was eating. In summary, the quality of the food was very good but everything else is in need of dire improvement. read more

Right when we walked in, we were taken aback with how beautiful the inside was. The food was soooo good. When we first arrived and were seated the service was soo good. No one really came and checked up on us after our food arrived. No one came near us for about 30-40 minutes, which sucked because we were sooo thirsty. read more

Delicious kosher chalavi. Came for breakfast during the week found out they finish serving at 12. We ordered some light lunch options-- the avocado eggrolls, split pea soup, the crunchy salad and a the blackened mahi mahi. Everything was perfect. I added a grouper to the salad which was cooked perfectly. The avocado egg rolls were so flavorful and the sauces they came with paired perfectly together. Service is fast and good. No complaints at all. Definitely recommend!! read more

Forget the food and the service, my concern is the water in the restaurant. When our table asked for water (tap) we were told their filtration system was down and we could have water if we wanted to order a $9 bottle of water. Strange as it seems there was no problem with the water if you wanted ice for your bottled water, if you wanted coffee or tea, they even had water to wash the dishes and the vegetables. When you question the ethics of a kosher restaurant with something so basic as water it brings their adherence kashrut into question. read more

Food good. Service poor. 20% service charge is outrageous for the level and quality of service. Charged $8.95 for 1 liter bottle water - would not serve tap water. read more

.I phoned Cafe Noir early on an afternoon and left all my information for a 5:30 reservation. Despite the message guaranteeing a call back, no one called. I phoned again at 4:45. A person answered and took the reservation. When we were seated, a sever arrived to take our order, and that was the last we saw of her. Tap water was not permitted, so we had to pay $7.95 for a bottle of water. A worker wandered around the section delivering food orders. He had no idea which table the food in his hands were for. He tried to give us food that wasn't ours. I ordered the Asian salmon salad. It arrived about 10 minutes prior to my husband's fish dinner. The atmosphere was chaotic and noisy. This is not a place for a tranquil meal. read more

Café Noir is such a vibe--cozy, chic, and the food always hits perfectly every time!!!

More like 2 to 2 1/2 stars, but the friends from out of town that we were meeting here -- who are kosher and had chosen this restaurant -- asked me to be kind. There are not that many decent kosher restaurants -- especially ones in the area that are "dairy" based and good for vegetarians, too. They even have sushi on their dinner menu. When we arrived at 11:30 am, they were packed and overwhelmed. Luckily, they have a large outside deck on the side of the restaurant as well as tables out front. They didn't have the reservation that our friends had made a few days before, but "fit us in" at an outside table. Parking was full by the restaurant, but they have a lot behind the place that still had some spaces available. Service was not good. It took forever just to get a server to stop by our table even after asking the hostess twice. We were worried that we wouldn't still be able to get breakfast. When she came by, she only wanted to take our drink orders, but I was insistent that she take our food orders as well --everything --as we'd waited such a long time. It was windy and cool outside and it also took quite awhile for someone to turn on the heat lamp next to our table (again we had to ask repeatedly several different people). When they brought the drinks, my husband's black coffee looked like pale brown water. It took awhile to send it back. The second cup was only slightly darker. When we got our food, it came out in piecemeal. Our friend got his toast salad first. Ten minutes later his wife got her shakshuka dish (the eggs were raw so she sent it back). I finally got my food (avocado toast). And finally my husband got his meal (Israeli breakfast). His scrambled eggs were barely one egg let alone three eggs as stated on the menu though. And they forgot his ciabatta bread. After he'd eaten, they finally brought his bread by (after a couple requests), but they never did bring the butter that was supposed to go with it. I did like my avocado toast btw. It came with small salad. As it had no salad dressing on it, I just didn't eat it. I was exhausted by then with trying to get service, get our food, get what we ordered, etc etc. It also took awhile to get our check and by then (2 hours later), we were more than ready to leave. When the gal asked if we wanted dessert, my husband said, "no thanks, we have to be somewhere by 6 pm"! We also had no idea that they would include the tip in the bill upfront. We now know why they charge 20% included because if this is their regular operation, no one would leave a tip at all. And prices are pretty expensive here to begin with (kosher food is not cheap) so be ready for sticker shock. Bottom line, if you're not kosher and can eat anywhere, I'd avoid this place especially in season -- or on a Sunday -- as a minimum. read more

Actually the worst restaurant ever, plus the owner is one of the rudest people. We were there with a large party and an infant and the owner was sitting at a table and was well finished with his meal. He told us he would leave in one minute and it ended up taking him over 30 minutes to leave. He didn't want to accommodate us. The food was sub-par and a big rip-off. The pasta tasted like rubber and the fish was supposed to come with 2 sides, but they forgot to bring the sides until the end of the meal.I wouldn't recommend this place at all. Bad food, horrible service, and a very rude and inconsiderate owner. read more
