A la Folie serves the kind of old-fashioned French fare that expatriate American artistes of the 1920s ate in the home-away-from-home Parisian cafés they frequented. And today’s starving South Beach artists can eat the same at this tiny, informal, and authentic-feeling French creperie-plus run by expatriates from Toulouse. Try the tasty buckwheat Dijonnaise crepe (chicken […]
French in Miami New Times

This South Beach version of the restaurant’s famous sisters in St. Barts, New York, Saint-Tropez, and Dubai leads with a decadent party atmosphere, but it’s all about the food. Try the truffle gnocchi submerged in a creamy black truffle sauce and served with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. If it’s a unique experience you’re after, […]
This budget-chic bistro in a dreary Kendall strip mall is the kind of restaurant that is the backbone of any serious dining town — a neighborhood place that pays upscale attention to food and service but charges only midscale prices. The menu here is mostly classic bistro; if you want stir-fried butterfly lips, you’ll have […]
At Bistro Cassis in midtown Miami, the focus is on adhering to culinary traditions and offering authentic French fare. From the menu to the decor, New York-based Restar Hospitality Group is trying to mimic a typical French brasserie experience — right down to the massive mural of the Paris Metro. It starts with the scrumptious […]

Midtown’s Brasserie Azur is incredibly good-looking. But rest assured you won’t find any of the pomp associated with its South Beach sister party spot, Villa Azur. Sure, both eateries serve French fare with an Italian twist by executive chef Edwin Mallet, but Brasserie Azur is more casual and affordable. Here, you’ll find plenty of wines […]
If your ideal breakfast involves scrambled eggs, bacon, and Wonder Bread, perhaps it would be best if you did not venture into Buena Vista Deli. But if your perfect first meal of the day involves homemade jelly, fresh breads, madeleines (85 cents), chocolate croissants ($2.50), and chocolate eclairs ($3.95), this neighborhood spot delivers a remarkable […]

Claude Postel and Corentin Finot, who opened Buena Vista Deli in 2010, have returned to the neighborhood with Café Crème. Similar to the flagship in North Miami, the 500-square-foot spot, which opened in May 2018, is stocked with Nutella beignets, chocolate croissants, small cakes, and sandwiches. Items are prepared in North Miami and delivered fresh […]
Café Maurice enjoyed a successful 11-year run in Los Angeles before relocating to South Beach — more specifically, to the spot held by longtime local bistro L’Entrecote de Paris. Owners David Meunier, Jean Michel Collet, and executive chef Maurice Azoulay have left L’Entrecote’s laminated bar and back-room mural and mirrors intact. The rest of the […]
An impossibly tiny kitchen at this modest, unassuming eatery consistently turns out simple, hearty, satisfying French bistro fare at affordable prices. The bistro has been a staple in South Miami for more than two decades, serving delicious French cuisine inside a small yet intimate restaurant in an unassuming, blue awning-lined strip mall on Red Road. […]
The menu boasts a mixture of cuisines (some decidedly Italian, while others have more of a French feel). The Italian influence is undeniable in the perfectly seasoned “bruschetta” ($8.95), and the two caprese options — the traditional salad (tomato, mozzarella, basil, olive oil), or the sandwich version ($8.50). But don’t stop in Italy, or you’ll […]

True Francophiles swoon when the words “Chocolate Fashion” are uttered. Just one look into the lighted pastry case is enough to make them sob. There are glazed super-size fruit tarts, delicate cakes and cookies as big as a baby’s face, and shot glasses of chocolate mousse topped with chocolate macaroons. Had a bad day? Your […]
Claudie is the Brickell showstopper Miami didn’t know it was missing. It’s a glamorous French-Mediterranean spot where every detail, from the design to the cocktails, feels intentional. The service is warm, the vibe is high-energy, and the menu (think escargots, pâtes au caviar, and a seafood tower that merits flexing on Instagram) delivers the Côte […]

The space is small (hidden inside an office building, in a way-off-the-tourist-track, zero-glamour locale), and the food is simple – mostly soups, sandwiches, salads, and crepes, plus a few daily specials and more substantial entrées. Prices are luncheonette-level low, but fine-dining niceties – such as house-made breads and pastries – abound. A solid French technique […]
