I was invited by my friend, who is a regular at this quaint, small French restaurant located in a strip mall with other mom-and-pop spots in North Miami Beach.
They welcomed us with fresh French baguette slices and butter, which set a delightful tone for the evening.
There is only one server, and they do not check on you or refill your water unless you ask.
I decided to try the escargot and French onion soup, dishes I wouldn’t typically make at home.
While waiting, I enjoyed a glass of wine—just needed some olives and cheese to complete the experience!
The place is clean and cozy, seating about 25 people.
It wasn't that busy, there were a few table turnovers during the two hours we were there.
The portions that other guests ordered looked huge.
Their display case was filled with baked goods that were very tempting.
The French onion soup was flavorful, though a bit too salty and topped with more cheese than I preferred, making it hard to get to the broth.
The escargot, however, was a highlight—coated in fresh garlic, butter, and oil, it wasn’t fishy or chewy. It was light and perfect for dipping the fresh bread.
My friend had the seafood pasta, which was a huge portion. Unfortunately, I didn't like the mussels in the dish. The seafood tasted too fishy for my preference.
We finished the meal by sharing a thick and sweet chocolate torte, which was a lovely ending.
While I enjoyed the experience, my ankles swelled up at the end, so next time I’d opt for lighter fare. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu!
