    Croissant au Jambon with potatoes
    Mark M.

    Stopped in after the farmers market for a quick bite. We were greeted and was fortunate to have an outdoor seat on a beautiful morning. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant with potatoes. The food came out quick and looked amazing. The croissant was still flaky after being covered in the delicious cheese and over easy egg. Overall, it was a great breakfast to start the day!

    Nice place, French style... too small for the traffic but good food and pastries. Service French way.. not super super but ok. The pate delicious, hogs presentation.. recommended. Just need more eating room..

    Looking for an awesome breakfast/lunch place with some of the best fresh pastries around. Then C' est La Vie is where you want to be. Everything and I mean everything is fresh, cooked perfectly and the service is fantastic. It is a small place inside but they also have a nice patio area with umbrella covered tables. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

    Paris baguette and soup of the day

    Great place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Only been for breakfast and lunch though and imagine dinner is just as good. This place is reasonably priced for French food as well. Their pastries are always on point and the iced capp is good as well. You really can't go wong with anything you order but the croque madame is magic. This place is always busy so these servers are consistently hustling and they're friendly to boot. They have ample seating outdoors and indoors is cozy. Love coming here everytime I'm in town.

    Coffee was great! Pastries were amazing! The crepes were just ok but they're big so you can share with someone... small place but feels homey... the younger staff is nice! There is an older gentleman there that owns the place maybe and he kind of hovers which is a little uncomfortable and when I asked him for napkins he sent someone else which is kind of odd but other than that it's a nice spot.

    Lovely place for breakfast in the area. Lots of good French food options! We ordered a Normandy crepe, ham and Swiss baguette & croissant. Cafe au lait was divine and one of our top 5's. Pastries were all tasty. Croissant could be a bit more on the "crispy" side but delish nonetheless. Give this place a try! Service was decent despite how busy it was.

    I'm bumping my rating up to 5 stars for this place. It's become one of our favorites!! Yes, it gets busy & can be overcrowded at times & the waitresses can be rushed & a bit short but c'mon that's 100% the feel of an authentic French cafe!!! Once you enter you will feel like you've been transported to Paris!! While I haven't been to France in many years, when I eat here I do try brushing up on my French! :) Their pastries are decadent & we can't leave without a couple things to go. We've tried most everything on the menu from the soups to sandwiches, quiche, crepes, salads, paninis, ... everything is delicious. Can't say we have a favorite order but do enjoy their quiches very much as they're not available at many places. Great location. Parking is usually never a problem between the meters & lots.

    Norvegienne salmon crepe ( I cut it open )
    Cheree L.

    Beautiful sunny day to eat brunch outside the restaurant. Staff was very friendly but our waiter wasn't really attentive with us. Didn't ask if we needed anything such as ketchup or water while other tables were serviced with such. Food was on par. My norveigan salmon crepe tasted kinda like a calzone still very good. Everything was cooked to perfection. Potatoes were cooked well also, not oily and very light to eat.

    Pretty authentic French bistro. This was our second visit and our group enjoyed our meal. The savory crepe is light and delicious. The quiche was outstanding. Fluffy and tasty. Don't miss the bakery items- croissants are buttery and so so good- baked fresh daily. Hard to choose between all. Seating outside is enjoyable under the umbrella. If you're there early enough you can just walk up and sit down.

    Lovely outdoor dining

Inside has 3 rooms; bar area, and two dining rooms. Mediterranean tapas inspired menu- we shared some small plates. The grilled octopus, chicken souvlaki, kefta pita( my favorite) and Moroccan hot honey sliders. Everything was delicious and the drinks complimented the entrees. My Spanish gin and tonic was very different (good) and beautifully prepared. My wife had lemon- lavender tequila and Paloma and both were refreshing. Luis was a terrific server who made some recommendations and knew the menus. A worthwhile find that deserves another visit- especially during happy hours.

They allowed us to enjoy our meal- take our time with drinks and dessert. The Dubai martini was delicious. Same with the espresso martini- smooth and SO good. One of my favs around. The small dirty martini salad was shared by three of us-kale, green olives- loved it. Mushroom Bisque was outstanding. Creamy, rich (but not overly)- and so tasty. Sicilian Pomodoro was also such a wonderful plate. 4 shrimp topped with whipped ricotta and pasta - loved! Shared the Tarta de Santiago for dessert. Light, sweet- love an almonds cake.

All the textures and flavors in bowl worked so well together. The only note that would keep me from going back regularly is the price. The bowl was about $25. Granted, anything with sashimi is going to be on the pricey side, but I felt it was a bit expensive. Other than that, it was a lovely experience. The severs were very friendly when we placed our order at the counter, and they brought our meals to the table outside. I would recommend Pura Vida Miami as a great spot to sit and chat with a good meal!
