"You have to hand it to the French—they invented the world’s sexiest kiss. So when it comes to romance, they know what they’re doing. And it doesn’t get more French than Frenchie’s in Coral Gables. It’s casual enough for a first date and charming enough for a desperate couple that found a babysitter and could use a one-night vacation to Paris. This spot does a convincing Parisian impression with its chalkboard menu and seductive red lighting. Between courses, the parchment paper on the table reads like the tea leaves of a successful date—with oily trails of butter from tender escargot and a smattering of tangy steak tartare. Just bring a mint if you’re planning to practice your French with some kissing after dinner. " - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"At this French bistro in Coral Gables, if they don’t know you, they’re good at pretending they do with a convincing, “Good to see you.” Go a couple of times a month and they might start sharing recipes with you. If you’ve eaten enough escargot and steak tartare here, you’ll hopefully get your photo pinned on a corkboard. But the way you know you’ve really made it is when you get your own nameplate at the bar. So keep coming back and eating crackly-skinned duck confit under the gentle red glow of Frenchie’s dining room until that day comes. " - virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer
