KROMA

KROMA art space is an multidisciplinary arts and media center designed to support artists and engage the public. The project will take place in the repurposed and innovatively redesigned Local Development Corporation building on Grand Avenue in Coconut Grove’s Village West sector

Krüs Kitchen

Perched atop Sebastian Vargas’ acclaimed Los Félix Mexican restaurant in Coconut Grove, bright and airy Krüs Kitchen does double duty as a sister restaurant and a wine market. Here Vargas, a veteran of stints at Michelin-starred Osteria Francescana in Italy and Eleven Madison Park in New York, taps into his global travels and local farm […]

Las Culebrinas

Big portions, tasty fare, inexpensive prices — is it any wonder the lines are so long? This Cuban-Spanish café features tapas such as chickpeas sautéed with chorizo, and cold seafood marinated in a vinaigrette dressing. Vaca frita and palomilla are excellent entrées; daily specials tend to be more inventive — fried beef brains, sautéed frog’s […]

The Last Carrot

It ain’t easy being green. Just ask Kermit. But for vegetarians, vegans and the occasional meatless Monday enthusiast, the Last Carrot makes healthy eating a whole lot easier. Those looking for a light, bloat-free lunch option sneak into this little spot, smack in the middle of a Coconut Grove strip mall. All sandwiches come on […]

Le Bouchon du Grove

Le Bouchon Du Grove has been a hidden gem in the Cocowalk area since 1994. In an ever-changing city, this establishment has remained dedicated to challenging the misconceptions of French cuisine. Unfussy and devoid of attitude, this quaint bistro, inspired by the city of Lyon, serves food that’s hearty, authentic, and deeply flavorful. At once […]

Los Félix

The food community makes a lot of noise about heritage and honoring lost Indigenous pathways. Los Félix does something about it. Dedicated to the Mexican-born Milpa agriculture – a system in which heirloom corn is interplanted with other crops, such as squash and beans, in order to share resources – Los Félix uses those ingredients […]

Mary’s Caf

Mary’s Coin Laundry and Cafeteria opened in 1982 as a simple wash house. It was converted from a plant nursery and Bahamian-style wooden shack that had been around 55 years. Owner Victor Sanchez, a construction worker and son-in-law of the Mary for whom the place is named, then noticed that young people prefer to wash […]

Monty’s Raw Bar

You haven’t lived in Miami until you’ve spent an afternoon sucking down a cocktail while gazing at a cotton-candy sunset at Monty’s. The Coconut Grove institution has seen a half-century of Miamians flock to the dockside restaurant for happy hour and tropical vistas. But no trip to Monty’s is complete without a round of “Pain […]

Mr. Moe’s Restaurant and Bar

A 92-foot bar, 32 flat-screen TVs, happy hour drinks for as low as $2.50â?¦ What’s not to like about this rustic wood cabin complete with an 11-foot bear and a mechanical bull? Mr. Moe’s has been serving tipsy college kids and families comfort foods like shepherd’s pie, chili, country fried steak, and barbecued ribs since […]

New York Roma Pizza

When you want a small slice of the Big Apple, check out New York Roma Pizza. The late-night hangout offers a wide variety of pizzas that please all types of palates. Inside there’s an intimate counter that seats about six, but there is plenty of outdoor seating as well. The guys behind the counter seem […]

Red Kiwi

You know that feeling of fat-kid disappointment when you’ve hit the midpoint of your frozen-yogurt takedown only to find you’ve run out of toppings? Well, Red Kiwi offers a fix: bottoming, otherwise known as double toppings. Yes, that’s twice the Fruity Pebbles, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, sprinkles, gummy bears, or whatever spoonful you desire in one […]

Scotty’s Landing

Arriving for your meal by boat only enhances the experience — an option at Scotty’s, where humble plastic tables await, shaded from the sun by an awning. As you drink deeply an ice-cold beer (or, if you’re working, an ice-cold tea), you can watch the boats chug past the outdoor patio. The seafood-slanted fare is […]

Spartico

Spartico is all about the crisp, classic Roman-style pies cooked up in the on-site, Milanese wood-burning oven. Garlic bread comes from the same oven, and it’s a pungent, doughy treat worth the extra calories. Guests to this Coconut Grove outpost can add a whole host of gourmet options to their particular pie, including Porcini mushrooms, […]

Tavern In the Grove

There’s pleasant bumping and grinding as you inch your way to the bar and your next frosty one. There are darts, a pool table, and a couple of videogames, but the entertainment is mostly supplied by a jukebox laden with hard rock. They occasionally slip in a little hip-hop. That’s what they’re listening to at […]
