    Nestled in the Grove, very cozy offering french cuisine that feels very homey! We really liked this place we got the moules and pomme frite! It was delicious and presentation was impeccable. We ordered also a soup and a salad (not pictured) and they were kind enough to split the portion in two for us to share so each got their own plate! Honestly for two main dishes, a salad and a soup we paid around $100 which is not too bad for miami! We re definitely coming back to this place!

    What a great spot! From the moment we sat down and were handed complimentary glasses of champagne, we knew we were in for a great foodie experience. The place is cozy and a little cramped, but it totally works. It's lively, warm, and filled with eclectic French signs and art. Chef Christian has clearly been doing this a long time. He walks around the dining room with confidence, and keeps an eye on things as he sips his mineral water, without hovering. The staff was efficient and friendly. It's busy and the tables are close together, but that's part of the charm. Definitely call ahead for reservations. Chef Christian has been here since the '90s. We started with the escargot, loaded with garlic, butter, and parsley. The foie gras was rich and perfectly done. For main dishes, the duck confit was crispy on the outside and tender inside, and the mussels (served in a big Le Creuset pot) were good, and definitely enough to share. I paired everything with a Sancerre. Finished with their house-made apple tartine in a crème sauce. That was the perfect ending.

    Fantastic food and service. Le Bouchon is a staple of Coconut Grove. I've been going to this place forever. I love the vibe of authentic French food. This is truly a place where the locals dine. The ambience is very rustic and nostalgic.

    I went with my mom and husband and 2 babies, so not a lot of food pics were taken but everything tasted amazing. I had the onion soup, filet mignon and mussels and fries with a cappuccino. The service could have been better as we had to wait a while to receive food and drinks but it was a busy sunday. Def would recommend if you are in the area and want some french authentic food.

    Just a tad disappointed with our overall experience here. After experiencing traditional bouchon lyonnaise in Lyon, we were so excited to dine here. Seating was quick as we came in a slow time but we waited about 45 minutes for appetizer and then another hour after that for food. (It was just me and my husband and we ordered apps and entree at the same time) Our overall lunch was about 2 hours 30 minutes and it wasn't even a busy time. The food was yummy and we were not in a huge rush, but still disappointed in the slow service. Place is super cute and looks authentically like a bouchon in Lyon and we got sat facing the road which made the time there more pleasant than if we had to sit inside and wait. Wish the staff was French for a more authentic experience but that would just be a bonus!

    My husband and I are kicking ourselves after recently eating here for a date night. For years, we would drive or walk by and say "we really need to try that place." Well, when we finally did, we discovered it was exceptional...and now we are sad we could have been enjoying it for years! We both started with the onion soup - probably the best french onion soup I've ever had - the cheese was decadent. We then also tried one of their appetizer specials a tarte with duck and figs. It was light, delicious and so flavorful! For our entree, I tried the sea bass with mushroom risotto - omg. So so delicious. I am sad that it was just a special and that I can't order it everytime! My husband ordered a chicken dish and is already talking about going back to order it again. Service was great - we got a complimentary glass of champagne to start the meal. We are just so sad that we didn't have room to try dessert!

    Le Bouchon du Grove is a Miami staple. I've been here many times before through the years, and this restaurant never disappoints. Chef and owner Christian is always there to make recommendations and for those great daily specials. This time, he recommended that I try the Alligator Blanquette, and it was mind-blowing. The fettuccine was perfectly cooked, and the Blanquette sauce was light, which made this delicate, flavorful Alligator incredibly delicious. Attention to detail and service here is always on point. If you are in the area, definitely give this restaurant a try. You will be pleased. PS: Other great dishes from here to try are moules e frites, coq au vin if avaliable. It is always great coming here.

    Came to this grove staple for dinner on NYE. We were greeted with the lovely glass of champagne and excited to have our last meal of the year. The restaurant is small and it was packed on a busy night - yet the service was still attentive. We ordered the escargots as an app and the steak frites and the chicken fricasse as mains. The star of the show was the filet of the steak frites. At $48, it came out with perfect temperature (medium rare) and beautiful cut of mignon - the cow lover in me was very happy. The sauce was creamy and I think I would opt for it on the side next time. The chicken was decadent, rich and definitely enough for two to share. It was super tasty too but after bite number 5, it gets to be a lot real fast. Would order again with a salad on the side to balance it out. The escargots were underwhelming sadly. Not the vessels of delightful buttery herbs that I was looking forward to, so would likely not order again. Would come back to try out other items on the menu on a more regular night - the spot feels local and the food is authentic and tasty, all while being very very rich!

    Wow, I lived in Coconut Grove/ Gables area for years and always wondered about this restaurant. I don't know why I never stopped in to try but it only took three years after I moved to try. I only ordered two things but what I ate was so delicious and it makes me sad that I waited so long to try. I was greeted by the staff in a friendly manner, and with a glass of champagne. The inside is smaller and a little tight, has an old school feel. I ordered the escargots and the mussels. Come hungry, food was so good.

    Cute neighborhood feel,very French everything on the menu is fantastic. Also are very reasonable prices. Only draw back is that it is very busy a can be loud .Paid street parking . Didn't aware 20% tips are included on the bill,we paid double ...Our waiter Paul was attentive and good .We'll be back.

    Complimentary glass of champagne!

    Absolutely amazing amazing food. What a great spot. The service is great - they started us off with a complimentary glass of champagne which as a very nice inviting touch. We ordered a few appetizers and everything was great. The portions were very big! For entrees we ordered the rack of lamb and chicken fricasé. Both entrees were insanely good. The chicken fricasé has been on my mind since!

The service was unbelievably poor from start to finish. My cappuccino arrived after 25 minutes and was completely cold, as if it had been sitting on the counter for a long time. When I took it back inside, the cashier gave me a dirty look and offered only a brief apology. The problems continued. I was charged for soup but waited 45 minutes without receiving it. After I went inside to ask about it, an employee simply said, "Sorry, I forgot." The same thing happened with my crepes and ice cream. The plate had clearly been sitting out for a while, and the ice cream had melted into a puddle around the crepes. The açaí bowl was no better. The fruit, especially the strawberries, appeared old and far from fresh. When I asked to speak with the manager, I was told the manager was not on duty. There seemed to be no supervision, no professionalism, and no concern for customer service. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The food quality and service were unacceptable. This restaurant should be ashamed of the way it treats its customers.

First off, the service really stood out to me. Everyone was so welcoming, attentive and genuinely nice. I especially loved seeing how much the staff helped each other. You could literally see the teamwork throughout the restaurant, and I love that because it makes such a difference in the overall experience. Everything flowed, the food came out in a timely manner, and we always felt taken care of. We originally sat outside because the patio is adorable, but Miami started Miami-ing and it was just a little too hot for us lol, so we moved inside. They were super accommodating about it. Also, a little warning from your Yelp friend: downtown Miami parking is atrocious if you don't know the area. Save yourself the character development and Uber. Nowwww, the food. I ordered the passionfruit smoothie, pain au chocolat and the steak & eggs. When I tell you the steak & eggs is a REAL meal, come hungry! It's tender short ribs over roasted potatoes with two sunny-side-up eggs, cilantro dressing and a delicious sauce on the side. The short ribs were incredibly soft and tender, almost like a brisket situation, and the portion of meat was HUGE. Honestly, it could easily be shared. I ate about half before my stomach politely told me we were finished and the rest came home with me. The potatoes were delicious, the eggs were cooked perfectly, and I really appreciated all the different flavors in the dish. Everything worked so well together. Definitely not your basic little steak-and-eggs brunch situation. The pain au chocolat was approximately the size of my head... and I have a big head, so please understand the measurements here lol. It was really good! I do wish it had been served warm and had a little more chocolate inside, but I'd absolutely order it again. Next time I'd probably get it by itself with a latte or hot chocolate and have myself a cute little pastry moment. And the passionfruit smoothie? Soooo good. Refreshing, flavorful and not overly sweet, which I appreciated because we don't need all that extra sugar. We have figures to watch around here. My mom really enjoyed herself too, which made the experience even better. Between the food, generous portions, cute atmosphere and especially the service, Café Bastille definitely gave us a reason to come back. Until next brunch... mwah! S/O Jeffrey our wonderful server!

Artichoke with Aioli: Good! The aioli had great flavor and was easily the highlight of the savory dishes. New York Strip Steak: Very disappointing. It lacked flavor, felt dry, and was just "whatever." Pastis Burger: Like the steak, it was underwhelming and missed the mark on flavor. Crème Brûlée: Saved the ending it was executed well and tasted great. The Service: Our server was polite enough, but completely disengaged. He didn't offer any suggestions or attempt to sell any specials we had to ask all the questions ourselves. To top it off, after we ordered coffee alongside our dessert, he simply dropped the check on the table and vanished. We felt rushed, like he was just waiting to clock out and go home.

Inside, the room opens into a sleek, futuristic space defined by dramatic black and red accents, moody lighting, and wood-grained counter seating that puts you front and center to the open kitchen action. At the bar and counter, the experience steps up even further. Cocktail offerings like the Elixir del Sol (Patrón Reposado, Chambord, and bright passion fruit) or citrus-forward creations set a vibrant tone for the meal. Leslie and Principe brings incredible energy and deep knowledge to the table, seamlessly guiding you through every course. The meal kicks off with an indulgent Foie Gras Royale starter featuring rich parmesan foam, leading into an exceptional lineup of entrees: La Pintade: A refined guinea hen terrine elevated by black truffle, chilled consommé, zucchini, and golden beets. Les Poireaux: Tender, wasabi-braised leeks balanced with fresh radish, dill, and egg yolk. For the main course, Le Flétan delivers a pristine, olive oil-poached halibut in a delicate clam-vermouth broth. All of the courses paired with the finest Albariño wine, Carralcola and Rose. The grand finale, Le Chocolat Sensation, pairs rich Guanaja chocolate crémeux with smooth white chocolate ice cream and an oreo crumble. L'Atelier hits every mark, blending world-class culinary technique with vibrant, unforgettable hospitality.

    We sat at the Chef's 34-seat dining counter facing the open kitchen, which I highly recommend.

There are also smaller tables around the restaurant, but you would miss much of the theater of watching the chefs at work. Another advantage of sitting at the counter was the remarkable pacing: as we finished our plates, they were often cleared within seconds and the next course arrived within minutes. In addition to the Miami Spice menu, there was a four-course seasonal Summer Menu, which we ordered, and an eight-course Evolution Menu, all with optional wine pairings. The Miami Spice and Evolution had fixed courses. For each of the four courses on the Summer Menu, we had several choices. There were also additional courses, including bread and butter, a foie gras starter with Parmesan foam, and a cantaloupe sorbet palate cleanser. Since we were celebrating our anniversary, we were also presented with a stunning raspberry and white chocolate heart dessert to share. I normally avoid foie gras out of compassion for the goose, but there wasn't an alternative offered. I have to admit, however, that this one was delicious. The essence of Maury "Vieilles Vignes" gave it a faint caramel-like flavor that paired beautifully with the richness of the foie gras. And the hot cheese bread is not to be missed. One bite with the softened, creamy butter and I was already thinking, "Okay, I'm glad I came." For our first courses, we both chose the Japanese hamachi with toasted almond emulsion and winter citrus. It was beautifully presented and a light, gentle way to begin. For the second course, I ventured further outside my usual comfort zone with the Japanese sea urchin, served with onion custard, asparagus, and coffee essence, while my husband chose the leeks braised in wasabi with radish, dill, and egg yolk. After snorkeling and seeing sea urchins in their natural habitat, I appreciated the opportunity to finally taste a really good one. The leeks were also amazing. I was still a little hungry when we reached the main course, but that was about to change. I chose the olive oil-poached halibut with clam-vermouth broth and a spring vegetable bouquet. My husband had the Mediterranean branzino with lemon balm emulsion, crème fraîche, and a caviar-stuffed tomato. The halibut was an exceptionally delicate fish in a light and genuinely delicious broth. I had been worried the clam-vermouth broth might taste overly fishy, but it didn't at all, and I savored every drop. The signature mashed potatoes served alongside the meal were decadently rich, buttery, and filling. For dessert, we both chose Le Chocolat Sensation -- Guanaja chocolate crémeux with white chocolate ice cream and Oreo cookie crumble. It arrived beneath a beautiful, thin disk of chocolate concealing the chocolate, cookie crumble, and ice cream below. If you had any hunger remaining, it was certainly cured by this point. Our anniversary raspberry and white chocolate heart complemented the flavors beautifully and made for a lovely photograph and memory of the evening. Our waitstaff, including Oriana, was absolutely outstanding. Service was attentive and polished and each dish was carefully introduced as it arrived. Combined with the extraordinary choreography of the open kitchen, the pacing made the entire dinner feel seamless. This was our first two-Michelin-star restaurant in the United States, and I'm glad we experienced it. It wasn't simply dinner; sitting at the Chef's counter gave us a front-row seat to the precision, creativity, and teamwork required to produce food at this level.
