Located inside Fairchild Botanical Garden, the Glasshouse Cafe is excellent. In most places like…read morethis, one wouldn't expect much better than snack bar food. However, the choices and quality of the food is a pleasant surprise. While not a traditional Cuban sandwich, the flavor of the pork is some of the best I've had. Also tried the chicken club wrap and it was fresh, light, and healthy. Besides the food, the backside of the interior seating has floor to ceiling windows of the butterfly enclosure. It is really nice to get off your feet, enjoy a delicious bite, and still enjoy the butterflies fluttering about.

This is one of my favorite museum/ garden restaurants. We were at Fairchild Tropical Gardens for…read moreSmithsonian Museum Day. Since admission was free a lot of other people had the same idea. To get your food at the Glasshouse you check out the menu and order at the outside window. They give you one of those plastic squares that vibrate when your food is ready and then pick up your order at the inside window. You can then eat inside or out. It was blazing hot out and the line was long but the staff handled it well and kept the line moving forward. They have a nice variety of sandwiches, salads, soups, drinks, and desserts. Prices are a reasonable $8 to $14 for a sandwich. They even had a board with some specials for museum day. I prefer to eat inside because I love their dining room not to mention the air conditioning. The whole back glass wall of the dining area looks onto the Wings of the Tropics butterfly garden and it's beautiful. While we were eating we got to watch numerous butterflies and we even saw the hummingbird flit around the flowers. The ceiling has a gorgeous Chihuly glass sculpture hanging from it. For lunch we shared the croque-monsieur and the La Basque's club sandwich with grilled chicken and bacon. Both were delicious. For dessert we had one of the large chocolate chip cookies that had three kinds of chocolate in it. All of that plus two sodas came to $28. I love eating at the Glasshouse when I come to visit the gardens. The food is of a higher quality than most attractions and the view is one of my favorites.

‍ Post-Golf Brunch at Country Club Diner - Le Parc Café…read more 2420 NW 7th St, Miami, FL 33125 After a refreshing morning walk around the Granada Golf Course, our CRE team ducked into Le Parc Café, a hidden gem just outside Coral Gables that turned out to be the perfect Friday brunch meeting spot. We grabbed a table inside across from the counter -- the space was cool, cozy, and flooded with natural light, a nice contrast to the Miami heat outside. Great energy for casual strategy talk. Order Highlight: I went for the 4-egg omelet loaded with crispy bacon and cheddar cheese, served with a warm buttery croissant on the side. (See pic ). It was comfort food done right -- fluffy eggs, sharp cheddar melt, and real-deal bacon, not that paper-thin stuff. Service was friendly and quick. Coffee refills came without asking. Staff were chill but attentive, which made it easy to talk business without interruptions. Overall, this spot strikes the perfect balance for a laid-back, productive CRE catch-up -- no loud crowds, no fuss, just solid food and clean ambiance. Bonus points for easy parking and a menu that works whether you're here for a breakfast deal huddle or a solo laptop session. Already planning to make this a recurring Friday tradition.

La Boulangerie locations have been popping all over Miami and we decided to have a brunch at their South Miami location. We were seated in a booth and our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable about all the most popular food items. We ordered a Prosciutto and Mozzarella baguette sandwich and their egg omelette with a croissant. The sandwich was delicious with a toasted and crunchy bread and the meats and cheese were very fresh. But the star of the show was the delicate omelette that was stuffed with tomatoes, potatoes, and artichokes. Those combinations gave it a solid flavor, while the croissant was home made and went well with the dish.

The manager came over and asked us if we had ordered, we said yes. Came back 2 minutes later and asked us to move in order to accommodate another party of 10 as he proceeded to move tables around and asking those that were almost done if they were done, as trying to rush them out. Reading other review now, I se that this is a common occurrence here ... they rush you out, move people after they are seated and have ordered in order to move tables around. First and last time we come here ... that is very rude and not what anyone expects at any restaurant. Between that experience and the noise level - it's a PASS for us!
