Le Bouchon Du Grove

El lugar super agradable y un buen servicio, nada fuera de lo normal.
Pedí un salmón de entrada como con cebolla en vinagre, delicioso! sin embargo la sangría, sabía demasiado dulce, jamás me había pasado y eso que es mi bebida favorita.

Very disappointing. Omelette was horrible and lacking in service and staff. I wouldn’t recommend this place. A $ 30.00 lunch went into the toilet.

The chicken in the muscles are amazing here very nice and loving the wine is amazing love it

Waited a while thinking it was going to be a very good lunch service slow food tasteless waiters rude, comment was only has two hands

Found this place while staying in Coconut Grove for the boat show. It’s definitely a cramped café that some may find hard to maneuver around in. The wait was long but got free champagne. Definitely order the Chicken Fricasee… actually split it with your dining companion as it’s a big portion. My husband loved his Duck Confit though I found it to be a bit greasy.

Great place for dinner. We ordered a bottle of Sancerre, escargot, the duck confit, the chicken fricassee and finish with the crème brûlée. Total bill around $ 140. Everythings was great. Really, really delicious. The wine matched perfectly the food. The service was awesome. I will definitely return.

Wow wow et RE Wow
Merci au chef Christian Ville et son personnel.
Que du bonheur entre amis avec des plats, des associations succulentes.
J’y reviendrai souvent. …

Had dinner there January 26. We had so looked forward to it.
It turned out to be the biggest mess of a dinner I have ever had. First we ordered wine they were out of. Then asked me he waiter to recommend. They were out of that too. And a 3^rd. So we looked behind the bar where the opened bottles were. Same process ensues when we ordered dinner. Out of 3 or 4 things we wanted. In the case of the main course they didn’t tell us this is nail after we ate the appetizer.
This all turned a 2 hour dinner to a 3 hour.
Now to the quality of the food. The mixed greens were over dressed with too much oil. The chicken fricasee was as great as always. The bread was dry.
The chef owner cam out to see us. This was a mistake on his part as he was arrogant and defensive .
All 5 of us will not return. We have gone year after year and never experienced this. It was a miserable joke.

It’s a very nice small place in the grove. The atmosphere was really nice, (great to go when it’s not hot/​humid out) the staff was nice, and the food was great.
I ordered the chicken and it was done really well. You get what you pay for. A friend of mine got the French onion soup which looked amazing.
My only complaint was that, this is not the best place to go as a group and try to split the bill. There were only 5 of us and the waiter said that they could only split the bill into 3 separate bills (we are in 2016… I don’t get it.). After telling the waiter how to split the bill he came back with it all wrong which was annoying.
At the end I had a nice time and the bill didn’t bother me too much because splitting the bill is annoying anywhere you go.

So, I ordered the croque monsieur, and guess what, it was a pretty sad excuse for a croque monsieur. There was no bechamel sauce or any sauce at all. It was pretty dry. I didn’t finish it. The fries it came with were fine, but not the best I ever had. A boring, dry sandwich should not cost $ 9.50.
Also, the tables are incredibly tight together. If you stretched, and there was someone sitting next to you, you would hit them. This is a problem for the servers too, because they knocked over a very full carafe filled with water (thank goodness it wasn’t wine. My bag got soaked, my shirt got soaked, my shoes were getting soaked in the growing puddle. They tried cleaning up the glass and water while we were still sitting there and didn’t offer to move us, which I thought was really strange and kind of thoughtless? I mean, they would have an easier time mopping up the mess and sweeping up the glass if we weren’t sitting there. Also, the restaurant was FAR from full. There were plenty of spare tables, so moving up s would’ve Benno hard ship. After a few minutes of sitting in a puddle — even after the manager? Owner? came over and offered me napkins — it was pretty clear they weren’t going to offer, so we asked to be moved. When I go to a restaurant, I don’t want to feel like I’m imposing on the waitstaff. Jeez.
The Grove is starting to come back, and there are better restaurants nearby. Go to Harry’s. Go to Lulu’s. Go to Greenstreet. Go a few extra miles and dine at any of the other restaurants in Coral Gables. Go anywhere but here.

Where do i start?
I called ahead to make reservations, which by the way is a must, and i was greeted by such warmth by the host over the phone. Once arrived the host greeted us like he already knew us and told us that he had saved table number 1 which is the only street window table. Our server was awesome as well. The food was to die for ! We had the chicken fricasse and the pan seared snapper which was incredibly prepared! For dessert the crème brûlée was awesome as well. Did I mention that champagne was complimentary? I felt like I had returned to Paris for a night. I totally recommend Le Bouchon for a lovely night out, you wont regret it!

The food was absolutely delicious! The service was fair and somewhat French. The atmosphere was cute, very cramped but it did not effect the experience.
I had the French onion soup which was very good. My wife and I split the chicken fricasse which was awesome. Very rich and flavorful, good serving size, good presentation in cast iron pot.
Would definitely come back.

We love Sebastian… We are italian but we love his charme.
Food is really french and the atmosphire like bistro.
We Will coming Back

Our party of three came here after much Unilocaling and debate to see what all the hype was about their brunches. Yes it does feel a little bit like a little parisian bistro doesn’t it? The service is amazing and I particularly enjoyed the complimentary mimosas which were brought out to us as soon as we sat down. Shortly after we were served fresh bread with jam and butter. A much appreciated detail which helped hold us over while we perused the menu.
Our table of three decided to go with the eggs benedict. To be honest, they weren’t mind blowing and our poached eggs were a bit inconsistent around the table. But they did fill us up nicely and delicious nonetheless.
Considering the above, I would like to come back to try their afternoon or dinner fare, but may hesitate to order the eggs benedict again. Perhaps I’l go with an omelette next time.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for quite some time and finally had the opportunity to brunch here the other day. It’s an adorable French café in the Grove. The set-​up is half indoors /​half outdoors but it’s an open indoors so you get plenty of fresh air. I’m giving it four stars because they allow smoking outside and because of this open set-​up and the fact that the place is intimate, you can smell the smoke in the entire inside of the restaurant. Though I typically want the authentic foreign experience at a restaurant, this was too much for me. Otherwise, the place is perfect.
For brunch, I shared the banana pancakes and the eggs Benedict in addition to having a piece of a chocolate croissant. Everything was absolutely delicious. In particular, I thought the banana pancakes were out of this world. How do they make them so good? Why can’t I make them like that at home? The brunch at Le Bouchon Du Grove is extremely affordable. I’ve even heard that they give you free mimosas on Sundays! The dinner looks more expensive but I’m sure it’s also delicious. The service here is great. The place is so small that you’re always near a waiter. I also like that they left a carafe of water on the table so I can refill my water glass to my heart’s delight. Additionally, the décor is adorable French vintage and makes you feel like you’re in a real French café. Definitely check out this place for brunch!

It’s nice to know that after a long night in hospital with a sick nephew, I can walk into a restaurant on thanksgiving that was just about closed and finally get a bite to eat.
The service was great and the food was amazing!!!

Moules-​Frites is amazing. A huge delicious pot full of mussels and an amazing white wine/​butter broth, with french fries of course. The free champagne on arrival is a nice touch :) The lotus salad is also delicious.
My husband and I have probably frequented this place 18 times over the past few years (yep, about 3x a year for the past 6 years!) and it never disappoints! One of our favorite places in Miami.

Get the Roasted Rack Of Lamb
with Provence herbs, white beans and basil pesto. Lamb gravy. Amazing!

I was really excited to try this place after all the great reviews in Unilocal and reviews from friends, but it was not big hit for me.
We got reservations for 4 on a Saturday night. We were first greeted with a free glass of champagne. Nice! (I believe this was because a Jazz Fest event going on in The Grove). We also got a basket of french bread and butter.
The ambiance was nice and somehow romantic but very hot. All windows and doors were open and it was very warm out. Wear something light and refreshing if you are coming here on a warm night. This was in November so I can’t even imagine dining here during summer time.
My husband ordered a bottle of wine (Pinot Noir) and unfortunately it was nothing special and it lacked body.
Our waiter strongly recommended for appetizer the Escargots (snails) and honestly they were OK. The texture is gummy and it lacks flavor. Nothing you really need to taste in life!
For my main entrée I ordered the New York Steak and it came with a red wine sauce that was not tasty at all. I ordered medium well and I definitely got well done. French fries are frozen fries, nothing special. Definitely not a $ 25 plate. Overpriced for the quality of what you get!
My husband ordered the Roasted Snapper filet and it was crispy, salty and just delicious. I didn’t get to try the ratatouille but it looked good. Note: It’s a small dish; thank goodness I didn’t finish my steak and my husband ate half of it.
My friends shared the Mussels and they really liked them. I tried them and they were good and has a nice flavor. It was a big portion good for two people.
For dessert we ordered the Crème Brulee and what a big disappointment. We were expecting something creamy and with some taste of vanilla but it was nothing like that.
Not sure about coming back to this place. Maybe for brunch! Maybe!

I have told this story to a few close friends, and now I will share with the whole world: the chicken fricassee once saved my life. Many, as in 4, years ago I went to dinner with a group of friends here. Right before we went I got very sick off of 2 blue moons (perhaps a small sign of gluten intolerance which I refuse to investigate) and almost canceled on dinner. Well, I soldiered up and didn’t plan to eat, but ordered this just in case. When it arrived, the clouds parted in the sky and the sun shined down upon me. I actually heard God whisper, «it’s alright child, you may eat now.» I happily indulged in the feast before me and felt nothing but wonderful afterwords. Every time I come back here it cures ailments I didn’t even know I had.
Protip: skip their brunch and just do dinner. Service is slow as it is and it’s really nothing special unfortunately.

I love Le Bouchon Du Grove, just saying the name makes me feel fancy! Haha, but I have been here a few times for breakfast and I love it. For some reason the décor reminds me of New York city, it’s so cute. A few dish you should try besides just pancakes and the regular stuff are Egg Benedict (only on the weekend), Cajun Omelette with Shrimp (this dish is awesome if you are a sea food lover), or their Grilled Salmon Salad. Everything tastes great and reasonably priced. If you’re in the mood for some sweetness, get a Chocolate filled croissant, I can guarantee you’ll love it!
Service is a breeze, very attentive and polite! I’d highly recommend it if you are looking for some delicious breakfast with style. ;)

What an unexpectedly good find this place was! I had a friend visiting from out of town, and we attempted to hit Greenstreet for brunch on a recent Sunday; The wait for a table was about an hour, so we decided to stroll. Though I’d passed Le Bouchon Du Grove dozens of times while entering Sandbar Grille next door, I’d never actually checked this restaurant out. We had a look at their menu and decided to stop.
Know that the seating at this restaurant is a bit cramped — the tables for two seem to be tucked into spaces behind doors, in corners, etc. and if you select one of the tables for 4 to sit at, they will put another couple of 2 next to you, seated about 2 or 3 inches away so there’s little privacy. This happened to us, and luckily both our groups had a sense of humor about it and managed to carry on our own conversations, but I’d not been in a seating situation this cramped since I visited New York City.
Once we were seated, a server was there right away with 2 complimentary mimosas for us, a basket of bread and butter and a carafe of ice water. I ordered the ham, mushroom and cheese omelet with roasted potatoes, my friend got the salmon tartare. Both our meals were very good, we were happy and the service remained attentive throughout the meal, but I would note that my potatoes were quite salty, and the omelet was a touch on the salty side as well. That said, I was satisfied with the food overall and would come here again.

I have been here twice for brunch and it’s good.
It does make you feel that you’re in Paris because in Paris the restaurants looks like how Le Bouchon, which is tiny.
I had the eggs benedict both time and it’s worth it.
There are times that the service does take long.
But it’s worth the wait because the food is great and you will not be disappointed.

Walking in, you are immediately attended by a hostess who seats you. She seems nice and sits you within seconds. The restaurant is smaller than the average and the tables are very close to one another. Walking to your table, may be difficult if 2 people are walking in the same aisle. The restaurant has a bunch of doors that face the street and they are all opened. Making it very hot if you go during the day.
We came for brunch on a Sunday for a friends birthday. Once we were seated, each of us received a complimentary mimosa. Great start! I ordered the 2 eggs with canadian bacon and potatoes, as well as the french toast. We didn’t have to wait very long to receive our meals, maybe about 15 – 20 min, and the place was pretty packed. The food itself was very good, and the french toast was fluffy. As of now, I was having a great eperience.
The waiter overheard us talking about my friends birthday, so he told us, «Oh you should’ve told me it was her birthday, I would’ve brought you a dessert as a courtesy. Would you like for me to bring you a dessert with a candle?». We were full by this point, so we politely declined. He asked us again, «Are you sure?». We replied by saying, «Yea its fine». He said, «We always like to give our customers a dessert for their birthday». He had already asked us various times, and since he said it was a courtesy, we decided to accept. He brought the dessert, a chocolate mousse, which was very tasty.
It came time to pay for our meal, and we saw that the dessert was added to our bill. We thought it was an error so we told the waiter about it. He told us that he never said that the dessert was for free. Since the mimosas were for free they cant give us the dessert for free. My mother and I both told him that we understood that he meant it would be for free. He again said, that he never told us it would be for free. By this point, I was frustrated because he clearly told us it was a courtesy. It wasn’t just me who heard him, but everyone else in my party did as well. I honestly felt lied to, because he kept insisting us to get the dessert. If it was up to us, we would have never even gotten the dessert!
Overall, the food was great, there is no denying that. However, the service I received from the waiter towards the end was unacceptable.

Come here if your looking for something a little different for breakfast, lunch or weekend brunch! This is one of the best places I’ve been to in Miami for brunch. The portions are perfect and the prices are reasonable for the quality you get. You will love it here if you’re a fan of French food or just love breakfast/​brunch items like me. I loved their raspberry pancakes. They use fresh raspberries, balancing tart and sweet. They cooked over medium eggs perfectly and their breakfast potatoes are standout. Get the French onion soup, especially if you love cheese – they definitely don’t skimp on the good stuff! They also have a huge wine selection.
The décor is pretty rustic and it’s open to the outside, so it’s pretty warm inside during the summer, but not uncomfortable to the point where you are sweating during your meal. They have a bunch of overhead fans which helps. It’s definitely a cozy little place and their bathroom is super cute, but there’s only one stall available. I was happy with the service here, the food was brought out at a reasonable time and our bread basket was refilled.

Cute French spot in the grove. do not put off by the complete lack of service by a host or hostess. I was tempted to leave when I came to Le Bouchon and was not received by anyone, instead standing in the doorway/​front of the restaurant for probably ten minutes and being completely ignored. No one came out or even indicated for us to come in. I’m hoping this was a one off day even though they did not seem busy and had tables ready. We finally got in when a patron after us went inside and almost demanded service for both of our tables.
Now on to the food — I had a tasty red pepper omelette and my boyfriend had a Cajun shrimp omelette. Both were good and we enjoyed the free mimosa as well. The portions of the omelettes were not large, so if you have a bigger appetite, you may need to order a side. French bread was provided with butter and was fresh and soft. We did not order dessert but perhaps would come back for dinner and try on another occasion.

Came here for the first time on Friday (Memorial day weekend 2015) around 8:30pm…
We were thinking of catching a movie but we had some time to kill so we decided to take a walk in the Grove and try a new place for us since we always go to the same places. We were thinking to get a few drinks since we wanted to make it to a movie so nothing really big…
First, we stopped at La Gamba, a Spanish place, and we were not accommodated so with that bad incident in mind we took another chance and went across the street to Le Bouchon. Thank God we did because we found a jewel!!!
They were not only very friendly and accommodating but the food was excellent even though the place was packed!!! In my opinion, that is a sign of a good restaurant with a talented chef.
So, we got a table without any terms or conditions (unlike the previous place) and we were lucky to get am amazing waiter, Sebastián! He was so great that we decided to try some food… It was so delicious food and such a fun atmosphere that we stayed for dinner and forgot about the movie. That’s what I called goooood!
The mussels with fries were delicious (20 $). They have an extensive menu with great seafood and meat selections in addition to the daily specials. They also have a nice French wine menu and great desserts.
Great service, delicious food, great atmosphere and No rules or conditions to get a table. Everyone was friendly and they even spoiled us when we were greeted by our waiter with a glass of an apéritif (I think it was some type of Prosecco) that by the way it was delicious. Great way to stimulate our appetite! The way the tables are arranged in this restaurant makes it very easy to make friends with the people on the table next t you. So, you have an option to be romantic by getting a table right by the two big opened doors (a little more private) or have fun by getting a table inside and make friends with other customers. up to you! Either way you should be able to enjoy this place.
If you are in the Grove and want to experience some French cuisine and wines with some great service this is your place and Sebastian is your guy. The menu is not cheap but the food is delicious and the experience was worth it. I know we will be coming again very soon!
Merci à Le Bouchon! Santé!

Comida muy pobre, papillote marselles con 20 gramitos de salmón, 20 gramitos de otro pescado blanco, 3 almejas que no abren 3 mejillones de los que dos no abrieron y media patata en rodajas, en un caldo de aceite con agua, el camarero devuelve el plato y lo traen igual pero mas caliente!!! responde que venden vino pasado porque es más barato??? 25 dólares el plato mas impuesto y propina, un despropósito, vino rosado pasado, un total despropósito, he puesto una estrella porque si no seria imposible escribir la reseña, una total estafa, no vayan a este sitio, totalmente desilusionada

You know your French restaurant is authentic when the chef has a straight-​up curly ‘stache :) That, and les beaucoups memorambiIia from France, whether street signs, soccer flags or liquor ads. I stopped by for Sunday Brunch on an invite, et j’ai dit qu’il est un tres bien brunch.
The complementary mimosa for both ladies and gents is a great introduction, and it was strong enough that I felt tres bien halfway through it. Baguette pieces and plentiful butter were brought to our table promptly. As far as the main course, the raspberry pancakes were the best! Picture three thin pieces of soft, chewy pancakes warm to the taste and evenly spread with sweet and tart raspberry jam. Garnish it on top with am actual raspberry and you have yourself yummy brunch. The eggs benedict were tasty with a good amount of tang, but the hollandaise was a little runny for me.
It is a small space, so it can become crowded. They also don’t take reservations for brunch. However, the wait staff was attentive and accommodating of our large group and taking the requisite pictures for facebook,
