Le Rendez-vous Bakery & Cuisine

Excellent food and fun atmosphere. This place has become our favorite place for weekend’s brunch. The food is always fresh and tasteful. Small family businesses worth of keeping on the eat out places list.

Their bread, homemade jam, food and service was immaculate. My husband stated that their home fries were the best he’s ever tasted, and rest assured- they were mines too. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Terrible place! I definitely do NOT recommend it! Only the bread was tasty, the fries were overcooked, the pasta was inedible with a terrible smell.. very bad and slowly service, although there were no other visitors except us.. wasted time and money

we got to this place by mistake but we were longing a coffee.. started with a coffee, no latte art, no pretensions, but the coffee was good. then we had a couple of croissants that were cold but tasty and not old. asked for Madeleines (as it’s a french cafe) but they didn’t know what it even was, hence they didn’t have. the bathroom was clean then had breakfast, the benedict’s, the crepe, and the scrambled eggs were all really good. service was a bit slow.

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!

The decor is pleasant and welcoming. The croissant sandwich, their namesake menu item, and the potatoes are delicious. The eggs felt lacking in salt, but were fluffy and abundant. The two pork sausages were juicy, and a little sweet, smoky. The latte and cappuccino were both smooth and not too milky, though some might prefer the coffee slightly more prominent. Oh and I enjoyed their pain au chocolate. They see seemed to have a nice selection of other sweet pastries. However, I also tasted the Florentine crepe, and the mushroom gravy lacked a distinct flavor. I can't remember much more about it, as it was my friend's order. The wait staff seemed attentive and patient. My biggest gripe was their service charge, which I don't recall expecting from their menu (maybe I missed it). It's unclear whether that charge serves as a baseline tip. So I get the receipt and am faced with an ethical crisis! Had I expected the service charge, I would have ordered at the counter and been on my way. Perhaps I could have asked, but I was a bit flustered and eager to go onto my next engagement.

The food is absolutely amazing. We had a variety of things but the best two by far were the crepes and the croque madame. Staff was very accommodating and friendly, they made our visit incredible. I wish we could have tried more from the bakery but the almond croissants we had were delicious.

I love this place, the croissant and the bagette Is so yummy, The best French croissant, freshly made. The eggs Benedict are wonderful. The service is quick try the pear tart is delicious.

I recommend this place for the pastries and the coffee. Their bread is delicious. The food on the other hand is a hit or miss and most of the time it's a miss. I like to go there for as I said, the pastries, croissants, bread with butter and jam. The coffee is absolutely delicious but having dinner/lunch there is, best avoided. I'm not sure if it's a matter of taste buds but the cuisine just doesn't fit for me. I haven't been able to find some thing on their menu that I truly enjoy in terms of an entrée. It's like the ingredients are not the best quality or have no cohesiveness with each other on the plates. However, the energy is great and I visit often.

Pastries are really good and freshly made. Have placed a few orders to go here and have never been disappointed, their sweet pastries are delicious and perfect for breakfast or afternoon snack Service has always been great also, always welcoming and kind whenever I've stopped by. Location is clean in spite of always being busy

This is my go to lunch restaurant in the area. It's very simplistic in decor. The service is friendly. The menu is classic French which I enjoy. Very Fresh. I like to bring home some pastries and French bread after my meal.

Came here on separate occasions for breakfast and dinner. Croissant and coffee was good. For dinner the complimentary bread was warm and fresh. Had the spinach soup, pasta, and shrimp which was decent. It's a small cafe with outdoor and indoor seating.

I love the Baquette and Croissants and the apple tarts It is wonderful to have this Place next Door for such a long Time and please more years

Intimate restaurant. Service was good.. Good menu selection. Every meal we have had there has been delicious. Nice size portions .

Lovely late morning breakfast. Coffee and orange juice were delicious. We had the oatmeal with fresh fruit and an eggs benedicte. Excellent. The Canadian bacon and English muffin were "toasted" and the hollandaise was delicate, the eggs perfectly poached. The house potato side was delicious (I don't know what the seasoning was) even though they appeared unappetizing. My favorite though was the baguette to go which I enjoyed, very much, later on the beach. I will return, you should try it

Excellent French restaurant! We have been coming here for years! The food and service has always been the best experience. We really enjoy the Lorraine quiche and French toast with fruits. Bust everything is delicious and the owner is fantastic

The fruits and pastries at the French bakery were exceptionally clean and fresh. The fruits were ripe and bursting with flavor, while the pastries had a delightful flakiness and a just-baked aroma. It truly felt like a taste of France. Service is always great I come here all the time never a long wait.

This should be a four star review, but for one thing. The food itself was good. But when we got our check, they'd included a gratuity/service charge on it which we almost didn't catch. On the bottom of the check are suggested percentages and also a blank tip line to add in a tip. That would have been double tipping! Now there were just two of us and there was no notice anywhere -- the menu, a sign, verbally -- that the tip would be automatically added in. In fact, we might have tipped more on our own. This just rankled. There was no separate lunch menu. So if you scroll past all the up scale entrees, you will find the quiches, crepes, and sandwiches, etc., for a lighter meal. I ordered a half sandwich and soup. It is not a combined item on the menu. When they brought the soup it was a much larger portion than I would have liked. The soup of the day was tomato. I had a few spoonfuls but didn't care for it. I did not tell the staff that. Figured I'd just pay for it anyways. On the other hand, the half sandwich I had was very, very good. On half a crusty French baguette, there was prosciutto, mozzarella cheese, tomato slices, and a basil pesto. The bread alone (it is a bakery) would be worth coming. And you can buy it by itself. My girlfriend ordered their Caesar salad which was a bowl of romaine with croutons and even a couple tomato slices. It was prettily presented in a square bowl. She could not decide on which salad dressing, so they nicely gave her a taste of 3 different ones on the side. Her favorite was the balsamic vinaigrette. It was not anything special, but was exactly what she was in the mood for... Btw, we came here thinking they were connected to the Oakland Park (Fort Lauderdale) restaurant of the same name. When we asked about that, we were told there was no connection. It's tiny inside, but we chose a table there for the air conditioning on such a hot day. There are a number of outside tables doubling the restaurant's capacity. There is parking in the lot in front which does get quite busy, but with a little patience you will find a spot.

I have frequented this restaurant several times...it takes one horrendous experience to turn you off and say I'll never return again. A friend I was with decided to pay for another friend's meal that not only showed up an hour late, but ended up on my credit card instead...not the end of the world, but when they try to charge you twice (meaning both my friend and I for the same amounts) and you catch on and say something about it only to have the employee try to blame you...and then when trying to correct the situation screws it up again...ugh, and then overhear the wait person trying to blame you again???! No ,no, no. Will not be back for that craziness, plus the place was really dirty. I'm sad about what has happened to a once beloved restaurant that I really used to like.

This is my place for croissants and, as far as I know, they are famous for them. They are always fresh and delicious. Especially I like chocolate croissants because they are made with real chocolate not Nutella or whatever else paste usually put in. I had breakfast-brunch couple times and was pleased. Truly, everybody seems very nice. Like they are not hovering over you, but always pay attention at the perfect timing. I would recommend the place. And I would recommend the baking goods

This French bakery+cafe continues to bring a little of Parisian culinary culture to South Florida. Tucked in the corner of a small shopping strip, I'd be willing to wager most drive by never having a clue of its existence. The French already have a place on the Mount Rushmore of cuisine. There is nothing ground breaking being done here, but when you do French well, there's no need to reinvent wheel. Traditional French pastries are baked fresh throughout the day. Tasty sandwiches on freshly baked baguettes, and even dinner items like the popular moules frites(mussels and fries). Am I really that old?! Been coming to Rendez-Vous for what seems like forever. After all these years, 3 things remain: 1. Authentic and consistent quality 2. The owner is as friendly as ever 3. The location is still strange Rendez-Vous is certain worth a...well...rendez vous! That's of course if you don't drive by it.

I love benedicts eggs and this place did not disappoint. They serve breakfast all day sonis a good option for brunch. They are short staffed (like most places nowadays) so be prepared to wait. Other than that, service was good.

Great French-inspired menu. Delightful staff. Save room for delectable French pastries. Had a delicious cream of asparagus soup and custom turkey panini. Both were delicious!

Disappointed in my quiche with salad. The salad was old and wilted and tomatoes not ripe and the quiche was probably made a while ago and heated up. Sat at the outside tables that needed a good cleaning along with the rest of the place. The tip was added to the check but I did not notice and tipped again. The server was nice so I didn't go back.

Amazing breakfast and wonderful service. Melted Ham and Gruyère on delicious croissant is amazing. Their egg salad is also very yummy and unique.

The first time I visited Rendez-Vous Bakery was a few years ago when my hubby and I visited South Florida. I was so impressed by the food and service that I fell in love with the place. That night our friends invited us out to show us some places in South Florida they thought we would like. We pulled up in the parking lot and noticed they were dining outside. The weather was warm and inviting. The restaurant was quiet with just a few patrons. We joined our friends for a night of endless mussels, fries, and white wine. It was my first time trying mussels and I loved it! (FYI - moules (mussels & fries) marinieres dish is seved all you can eat on Mondays and Fridays.) The texture, taste and the fact that they were endless made this my go-to place for mussels when I moved here. They have two locations, one in Oakland Park and this one. I've never been to the one in Oakland Park but I hear their service and food is really good as well. It's a french bakery cafe that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They offer patio seating at this location. The restaurant is small inside which adds to a cozy dining feel that feels like you're eating at home with your family. It's family owned and operated. The menu and wine list are extensive. I'm sure you'll find a dish or two that'll keep you coming back for more. Hubby and I decided to celebrate our 19th anniversary here with friends just a couple of months ago and we had a great time. We made reservations for a Sunday morning to sit outside. It was beautiful. We started with a bottle of wine, and then another and then another. Before you know it our tables were filled with laughter, great conversations, food, and wine. I knew it would be an excellent choice to celebrate such a meaningful day with people we love.

Onion soup was awful. Other food very, very fair. The sales tax in Miami Dade County is 7%. This restaurant individually taxes each food item 8% in addition to adding an 8% ( it should be 7%) tax at the end. This makes for a 16% sales tax!!! It should be 7%! How are they collecting an extra 9% tax?! When I inquired the answer was I guess it's the computer. There was NO offer to correct the issue. The restaurant also adds an 18% gratuity that they fail to mention.

Poor customer service. The place was empty and it took forever to get a cup of water. The coffee came cold and we have request for cream that the girl brought so late.

There pastry is absolutely amazing. Especially there croissants. I love the feel of the place. Their lunch and dinner menus are excellent especially there French dip sandwich and the onion soup. It is truly a French experience. When in Miami I have breakfast almost every morning at Rendezvous. It's a simple place but real excellent food. I have been coming here for almost five years. The family that own it are lovely people and there staff are wonderful.

The best place to enjoy onion soup. The service excellent. I enjoy like ones a week and I recomendé this place 100% also the ambiance

This is a small spot and you can drive by and miss it, authentic french cusine. The bagette is the real crusty bread that is soft and so good. I had their carrot soup which came in a beautiful bowl and was perfect for a chilly day. I also ordered the prosciutto, mozzarella and pesto on a bagette which came with fresh made potato chips. The dessert I ordered the creme brulee since they had me curious and not to mention it looked bao good which it was. Parking is free just know during lunch time it's does get packed. They follow the covid restrictions so no worries. Will be back and would recommend this place for either breakfast, lunch or dinner. Great staff and friendly,

What a great neighborhood French restaurant! I've been here many many times. The food is delicious. Breakfast - their poached eggs with salmon - so good Lunch - their sandwiches, salads, the soup (made fresh everyday with broth not cream) I even had their all you can eat mussels ! Try their pastries too The service is very good too You don't feel like you're in Aventura neighborhood ;)

Rendez-Vous is an authentic French restaurant located in Aventura. A friend of mine who raves about this place brought me here to pick up some pastries and freshly backed bread. The minute I entered I was greeted by the smell of fresh European bread and an ambiance of everything that is French. While I was waiting for my friends order, she bought me a chocolate croissant, and I treated myself a chocolate eclair. The Eclair was moist, chocolate-ty and delicious. The croissant was airy and mildly sweet. The second time I came, it was with the same friend, this time she coerced me to try their mushroom soup with a freshly made baguette. When I got home I tried the mushroom soup, and I loved it. It was earthy and robust with a clean taste. Dipping the baguette in the soup was divine.

I came with no expectations to Rendez-Vous. Apparently it's thought well of as is the location in Oakland Park. But when we met up with friends for an occasion, I thought it to be just a bakery. It was a lot more than that. They had already served part of the group a bottle of white wine and clams. I tried and enjoyed both. We got our selves glasses of the house Cabernet(they couldn't offer us a bottle at that time for some reason). We ha a great table outside. It was on the sidewalk but was still not intrusive. Quite laid back actually. We talked for a while but finally ordered. I'm keeping carbs to a minimum these days so I got the sautéed shrimp. I subbed out the rice for some green beans. When arrived I was surprised how good it looked. They had spent time doing a presentation that related to the new shared ingredients of the plate. And wow it tasted great as well. I wasn't even that hungry but wolfed down my plate in no time. To my right there was a seafood crepe. I only had a couple bites, but it was fantastic as well. Over all a good experience. We had some delays at the end as we had to note that we would need a split check. I was surprised they hadn't offered actually. When I got my check it was a bit higher than I expected. Even the house wine charge seemed a bit out of the norm. But all in all it was a tasty experience. I think I a good chance I'll be back. And if I do I will try for that relaxing table outside.

Nice and cozy. We have come back several times. We love their Onion Soup and the boeuf bourguignon. The red wine they offer is good. I didn't love the patê though. The creme brûlée was very silky. We have bought from the bakery as well, and some groceries. The croissants are delicious, and the fleur de sel imported from France is very good. last time I went they didn't it, so I hope they bring it back some day. The waitress s very nice and attentive. we really enjoy our time when dining there. I would recommend this restaurant.

I can only speak to their loaves of Baguets "French Bread" by far the closet to NY/NJ Bread as there is here in South Florida. They are always nice and if they are out its fresh in 20 minutes. My go to place for bread truly nothing compares. If I need more than a loaf or 2 I call ahead and they put it on the side. Nice people great bread!

Gave it another chance and it was a lot better. The baguette is amazing, the coffee improved a LOT. If you are in the aventura area, it's definitely worth the stop

Food is great, atmosphere is great, service lacking, stop putting an 18% auto gratuity charge with mediocre service on a table of two.

This outdoor dining spot is wonderful on the weekends and delivers in service, highest quality breakfast. Eggs are perfectly cooked and seasoned. Must spot for Mother's Day

The service was friendly for the most part, but unfortunately inattentive. The staff only attended to us when they took our order and again when we were completely done with our food; disappointingly never once in between which I would have appreciated. We never even got our check brought to our table. After waiting ten minutes after they picked up our plates, we had to go to the counter to ask for our check & to pay our bill. The fresh squeezed orange juice was great along with my husbands' iced latte. The complimentary french bread they brought to our table was delightfully good. The ham and cheese crepe was enjoyable. The croissant was fine. The eggs Benedict was okay.

Over priced! The worse canele ever!It was probably on display for over a week,tasted old and bad. Silly me I order 3 to take home thinking I was going to taste a real French cannele! I will never go back.

French fantastic fare! Render-Vous served up a variety of authentic cuisine in a comfortable setting and with nice pieces. Tucked away into a strip mall in the Aventura area, however away from the hustle and bustle or the mall, is this gem. The mall is right and parking can be interesting, however you soon will be dining with delight. The very friendly staff greeted us and helped us decide on options for both our palates. Plus, we were able to sample their wine and soup options before we committed. I had the salmon and it did not disappoint. Tender and juicy and cooked to perfection. I also enjoyed a cup of their butternut squash soup, and that sure was great as well. To top things off, the Rosé my wife and I had at the table made this French meal complete to the end. There are a few great French spots in our area and now we can add rendezvous to the list of great French go to delights!

Came today after maybe 1 year and what a pleasant surprise... they remodeled the inside of the restaurant and it is much better... simple and good! Service as usual in North Miami average.... Jimmy the owner did take good care of us and recommended some good things... we came for brunch and had very good croissants, crispy, fresh and great flavor!!! Next time will have the pain au Chocolat... looked delicious.... my son had a burger which we were both impressed, the meat was home grounded and cook temp perfect! Thick and juicy! Congrats!! I had a vegetable omelette that was very good and tasty... fresh ingredients used for sure! My wife had the spinach and cheese quiche and it was very good... maybe missing some crispiness but Jimmy told us that it is on purposely so the "hojaldre" or filo would not crack... had fresh fruit ice tea that was very good! My son then had the Nutella crepe that was quite good and tasty... The place does need to remodel the terrace as it does look dated and again Jimmy told us that is in the immediate future drawing board.... The place is clean and the street mall where it is located has plenty of parking spaces.... All in all a great experience... will come back soon!!! Enjoy

Wonderful place - delicious bread and the pasties are to die for! I recommend this place to anyone who loves French desserts. I also tried their Niçoise salad too, but it wasn't too great, just average. However the bread and desserts are the best and very authentic.

Went for lunch today. Outside seating was pleasant. We had the mushroom soup which was good. The bread was good. Chef's salad was good, especially the chicken that came with it and the dressing. Mussels with white wine sauce and French fries were passable. Could have been served warmer and with more sauce. The French fries were good. On the whole, the food was quite decent. The reason for the two stars: Terrible service. And I think they know it, that's why the add a very generous 18% tip to the check.

If you want the best breakfast, pasteries, fresh baked bread and coffee this is the place for you!! I love this place in the morning. I get a custom made croissant with eggs over easy Gruyere cheese and bacon. Soooo Good!! See Valencia for fantastic friendly service and have her make your coffees, lattes, cappuccinos etc. perfect every time. I think Zak the Baker's breads are the best in South Florida but I can tell you this bread is right up their with Zak. So I don't have to go to Wynw I highly recommend you switch your morning routine to this place, you won't be sorry!

I was pleasantly surprised by this small, easily overlooked French cafe on Biscayne Boulevard. It offered breakfast, lunch and dinner with a bakery. Service was prompt and polite. Cuisine was French, healthy and inexpensive. It has a French ambience with indoor and outdoor seating. Its decor was simple, as a neighbor cafe might be in France. I like that I can eat breakfast anytime of the day. It's not a fancy or romantic place, but it has a warm, comfortable feel.

I can't believe this fraud is still in business & selling Groupons through which they overcharge you for mostly poor food & cheap wine priced like a rare vintage. This place is a must to avoid. If you have a coupon be prepared to be taken for a ride.

My experience here was beyond horrific. This is not an exaggeration. I arrived at this restaurant at about 1030 maybe a bit earlier I sat down, and I waited for a waiter. I stepped away for a moment I came back. I use the bathroom and I continue to wait for a waiter. Other people came in and were served some point I try to get someones attention and I did And I placed my order I then waited. Other people came in, and the waiter got served again I found another person place my order to place my order again and waited. I then waited. Some more other people got served, placed my order again and waited. Finally a young lady came over who was a decent person and said to me, sir I apologize your order was never placed And will place it now. It took them 54 minutes to acknowledge that I was there, and to attempt to serve me at this point I have not even gotten water. after that, I told the lady I will not be placing an order and I switch to the manager no one came out so again I waited and I went inside and ask for a manager again no one ever came out so I left this has got to be the worst treatment I've ever got this is 2023 will take this sort of ignorance back push behavior would've gone away decades ago but here today in South Florida and Aventura is sort of behavior still exist outside now I'm black, and the only black person that was in that restaurant at the time completely ignored never served! I will see the young lady that came up last offered to serve me and offered me food, but this is after 54 minutes and I do not feel comfortable eating from that company anymore, considering what they have done to me already. That's my Saturday morning.

Drove all the way from west palm beach to eat here with my mom. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it is such a hidden gem. I love the French cafe feeling you get when you walk inside. They have outside seating as well. I got the Rendezvous croissant breakfast sandwich and it was DELICIOUS. They have a great selection of pastries and cakes. My mom and I had two mini chocolate croissants that were delicious as well. Service was good and the servers were nice. Definitely will be coming back here!

We just came home from trying this restaurant with our groupon, I repeat, do not go to this restaurant. It is a total scam. They say you get Two appetizers two entrées and a bottle of wine. The appetizer cannot be more than $7.99 and on their menu there was nothing under eight dollars their entrées could only be $17.99 of which most of their entrées were over $17.99. the total cost coming to just over $50 so they throw in a eight dollar bottle of wine in charge you $40.00, total rip off. We tried to order three things, of which, they had none, finally ordering steak which came out raw and cold and had to be sent back. Save yourself the headache don't go there. I COPIED THIS REVIEW BECAUSE ITS WHAT I HAD TO DEAL WITH THE SAME THING BUT I ON TOP OF IT I HAD THE COPS SHOW UP BECAUSE I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE WORST DINNER POSSIBLE.

On Mother's day we called in to order our pick up in order to help this small business avoid app fees. The gentleman who picked up the phone was very attentive when taking the order. Food was ready for pick up within 20 minutes and, to my disbelief, no mistakes were made - order was made and packed 100% correctly! The food was very good - I had the Croque Madame, my mom had the Rendevouz Petit breakfast and my brother had the Trio Benedict. The 3 of us were very happy with the experience - 5 stars well deserved!

Very nice bakery caffetteria place in Aventura. The place got renovated recently and it is a good spot to have a tasty French omelette or a croissant. The coffee is good, the service is attentive. Will definitely go back again.

Boring French food. Cafe Creme in N Miami has me spoiled on goodness. As far as service, I asked the waitress "what are your vegetables of the day?" Not a hard question, she tried to blow it iff with " the typical vegetables" I asked if she could be more specific which still wasn't getting anywhere so I asked if she could go find out. 15 min later she came back & told me & took our order which I ordered the vegetables & the endive salad. My salad came, along with my friends horribly withered quiche & overly fried potato chips ( which were extra to change out from a salad). I wasn't impressed with my boring chopped endive salad. I waited for the vegetables which never came or never mentioned & decided, for the best, I'll just have to have an early dinner somewhere else. Not impressed with food but I did it is the bakery part looked good but I didn't try anything because as we all know "looks can be deceiving."

I have always loved this place! The owners are awesome! Always have a great time! They are very gracious! The food is awesome! How can you beat all you can eat mussels!!!

Mediocre food with less than mediocre customer service. Our breakfast (plain croissant and croissant sandwich took an inordinately long time to come to the table. When I asked how long it will be, the waitress said "it was coming," and that they have a lot of people. The 18% service charge was included in on my check for my table of 2 people, which I paid but which should have been my choice to decide. Needless to say I won't be returning here. Especially when overpriced and very average French cafes are a dime a dozen in this area.

Not familiar with the Sunny Isles area, I walked over to this French bakery for a quick breakfast and was greeted by the staff with a smile. Being a small establishment, they cooked a big meal to satisfy my egg/ham needs! I ordered a cappuccino quick start my breakfast adventure, complimented with French bread. I made a mistake to not try the homemade jelly and the staff let me know of my blunder (sorry!) Then came my omelette and... omg. Something so simple never tasted so good! Topped with ham, tomatoes, and onions, I slammed the omelette straight down to my pelvis within seconds. Finishing it off with warm roasted potatoes, I was completely satisfied. Highly recommend this place if you need a quick breakfast fix!
