Babette Miami

I first want to mention how much I adore the film *Babette’s Feast*, so the restaurant’s name, Babette, instantly captured my heart. My appreciation for the place really blossomed during a dinner outing with my sister. Our night was truly spectacular! The food was excellent—definitely try the beet tartare as an appetizer; you won’t regret it! The service was outstanding as well. A big thank you to our server from Madrid 😉 for making our evening so enjoyable!

We absolutely loved our dinner at Babette. The restaurant is inviting and full of charm. The staff made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Every dish was delicious and clearly made with care. You can really tell how much love goes into the cooking and presentation. It felt like dining in the chef’s home, but with restaurant-quality food! A wonderful spot in Coral Gables. We will definitely be back.

Charming, romantic French restaurant in Coral Gables. The interior is Baroque and very unique. It felt like dining in a small restaurant in Paris. Food was delicious and the service staff were attentive. They had a good bread course to start with warm, freshly baked bread and whipped/shaved butter. The tartars were delicious, and the steak was a good size and well cooked. Whole meal was delicious. The owners are very nice and gave us a gift as we left. Great hospitality.

We had a wonderful experience at Babette. It’s an elegant, cozy, and intimate restaurant with a French/European flavor. The food was outstanding, and the timing was perfect in all steps. The service was very professional. We especially loved the beef tartar! It’s totally recommended!

In a corner house in the heart of Coral Gables, renowned chef Dani Chavez has opened a small, elegant restaurant. The menu features classic, traditional French dishes and some modern offerings with an Asian touch. The selection includes excellent champagne and wines. Its a great option for dinning in Coral Gables

Had the most wonderful dinner at Babette! The atmosphere was so romantic and intimate, perfect for a special night out. I had the gnocchi, which was absolutely delicious, and every bite was full of flavor. Our server Alejandro was fantastic, super friendly, attentive, and spot on with wine recommendations. The whole experience felt elegant yet welcoming. Can’t wait to come back!

We chose Babette to celebrate our 23rd wedding anniversary and we simply could not have made a better choice. From the intimate and beautifully appointed dining room to the attentive and knowledgeable staff, our experience was memorable. The food was truly delicious - from the French onion soup, hangar steak and pork cutlet to the classically prepared tatin - we enjoyed every morsel. As a bonus we had an opportunity to meet Chef Dani and Alex, the designer and chief experience officer. An incredible addition to our Coral Gables culinary scene. Thank you for a most memorable night! We will be back! Alex and Maria

A coworker brought us here while we were in town for the evening. Let me say — my taste palate danced at Babette! What a divine experience. My mouth is still watering thinking about the cavatelli lamb ragout, black truffle gnocchi and entrecôte. And with the fresh focaccia and fermented butter? Fabulous. I won’t be forgetting that meal! Furthermore, the ambiance is like a warm embrace - so pretty and welcoming. Great service. Great energy. Great music. Highly recommend!

It was my first time visiting this restaurant with my good friend who had chosen it for us. It's inviting from the outside and just as cozy on the inside. We tried many of the items from the menu. We started out with a Spanish bottle of wine which was so smooth. We had their homemade focaccia and butter which was made with absolute love. We then started out with the crab truffle flan (chawanmushi). This was my friends favorite. The broth was delicious and flavorful. My personal favorite appetizer was the Endives salad. I absolutely loved it and will think about it for days to come. So simple but amazing. For our entrees, we were highly recommended the lamb ragu. My friend chose this while I decided the strip sirloin. The lamb for the ragu is cooked for 8 hours and it was truly amazing. I'm more of a beef lover, so I throughly enjoyed my tender sirloin with its touch of crisp. Very texturally pleasing for me lol it is served with a bit of mash potatoes and a very flavorful sauce/reduction. For dessert we had a fondant type lava cake with a vanilla gelato on top. It was perfectly sweet and a great choice to end the meal with. The service from the very beginning was so lovely and warm and professional. The owners are making sure their guests are happy as well. They have created a very inviting and cozy place that I will look forward to revisiting. P.S. the music playlist is another aspect I loved. It leaves you wondering.. what's coming up next? A surprise for the ears. It's a unique touch that we really appreciated. I regret not getting more pictures.

As a local, I was excited when I walked past La Jolla and noticed a restaurant had opened within! The beautiful interior design and romantic setting led me to immediately book a reservation for my birthday. Given that they are new, there are kinks to still work out but so much potential. Be prepared for small serving sizes for the entrees, and I mean very small but beautiful ambiance. The house focaccia and butter were yummy and a nice touch. The lobster was honestly a laughable portion, literally we all chuckled a little when it arrived. My husband ate it in two, maybe three bites. My own steak dish was also smaller than expected. The chef sent out a complimentary salad which was so full of flavor and also topped the tuna tartare with caviar for us on the house. I was very excited about the basque cheesecake remembering how amazing the cheesecakes I had in Basque Country were. Again, disappointed with the portion but wonderful flavor. I wanted so badly to love it but the portions are so small you tend to leave feeling a bit robbed. Lovely experience though. Nice for a date night or small group.

There is a great new restaurant in Coral Gables on Alcazar Avenue in a beautiful old building with a nice cozy inside and a large terrace outside. The food is superb. We had the endive salad, the beet tartare and the cavatelli pasta with lamb ragout. All were creative and delicious. The apple tarte tatin for dessert wasn't too bad either. Bottles of wine were very reasonable. As of this writing we were told the restaurant has only been open for 9 weeks, but the inside was full and there were 4-5 table occupied outside. This will be a great Coral Gables tradition.

Confused service. We sat for 15 minutes without water or menus. Then they brought half the table menus, only after we asked. Food fairly ok. Atmosphere boring. They charge $50 per person in advance as a hold on one credit card, then they deduct it from the total check. But that does not work for a group. The crab flan is a soup. The moules were large but flavorless. Oh well.
