La Goulue Christian Delouvrier

The accouterments of a classic brasserie setting are in place: tin ceiling, mosaic-tile floor, wood, mirrors, tightly packed tables topped with white butcher paper, and open French doors leading to a breezy outside patio. The menu mimics that of a real bistro, too, although one with severely limited range. Diners are privy to the standard […]

La Paloma

With an eerie ambiance of dark yellow lights and red carpet, La Paloma reminds me of that bar in The Shining, where the bartender is actually a ghost. Try the White Russian.

Lagniappe

This indoor/outdoor hodgepodge of a place is named for a small gift traditionally bestowed upon a customer by a merchant, and the moniker couldn’t be more fitting.

Le Chick Miami

Here, chicken makes up a large part of the menu, along with side dishes such as onion rings and five kinds of fries. In addition to rotisserie chicken, there is a rotating burger of the month and fried chicken. Le Chick’s version is brined overnight for 12 hours and then soaked in buttermilk before being […]

Let’s Make a Daiquiri

Let’s Make a Daiquiri has more than its name suggests. Located in the bustling outdoor Bayside Mall, the bar also offers patrons chilly margaritas and piña coladas for $7.50. That’s a deal for a town that caters to tourists. Children will enjoy tropical smoothies, with or without ice cream, that are priced to be easy […]

Level 6, brought to us by the creative group behind South Florida establishments Akira Back, Amal, and Byblos, is one of the few neighborhood venues […]
