"Enjoy the Parisian life in Miami at Le Zoo, which serves up claws on ice with classic mustard sauce all season." - Olee Fowler
"This is a special place to see and be seen—by Florida's trés elite. Part of the STARR Restaurant Group, the brasserie sits on a corner of the Bal Harbour Shops and is beautiful from the inside out. An enclosed dining space takes patrons on a quick trip to Paris by way of brass fixtures, frosted glass and dark wood paneling. This is Miami, however, so there's oodles of good weather and the patio is favored at all times.Solid French food and classic sips are on the menu, but recent standouts have included a chilled cucumber soup with green apple and almonds, tailed by meltingly tender tuna tartare. Filet mignon then shows up with a perfect coating of peppercorns and a side of pommes Dauphine; while baba au rhum is a crowning way to clinch the feast." - Michelin Inspector
"This charming French brasserie in the Bal Harbour Shops makes for an ideal stop for lunch, dinner, or weekend brunch during a shopping spree. There’s fine service and even finer people-watching, and the menu — ranging from classic dishes of escargots and onion soup to steak and frites — is like a warm buttery hug." - Juliana Accioly
"With its upscale shops and restaurants, Bal Harbor Shops is a no-brainer for those seeking a chic destination to match this chic drink. Stephen Starr’s French-Mediterranean spot welcomes the hot summer under lush palm trees with a classic French frosé. After drinking a few of these, the sticker shock on that coveted blouse won’t hurt so much." - Alona Martinez
"This French brasserie from Stephen Starr not only offers a charming interior, but also plenty of al fresco seating in a palm tree-covered patio inside the Bal Harbour Shops. The menu is filled with plenty of classic French selections like steak tartare du parc, duck confit, truffle pizza, and the bouillabaisse — all of which can be complimented by the extensive selection of wines." - Stacy A. Moya
