My favorite French restaurant in the area. Always perfect service and the food is prepared expertly. Never had a bad meal here. The manager, small petite lady, is so cute and fashionable and friendly. The Nicoise Salad is my favorite, but everything here is great. Desserts are amazing!

1st visit and probably the last! After being seated I waited 10 minutes before asking a random waiter for service! No acknowledgement whatsoever. I was going to wait five more minutes before walking out. I could easily say it was because I am black. The food was good.

I love this place!
The atmosphere is very romantic, cozy and perfect for a date. I appreciate that they use real candles and not the ones with batteries.
This restaurant is also good for families reunions.
The quality of food is excellent. I had fish (trout). Good flavor and fresh. They put butter on the top, but is not a cheap one, so the flavor is different.
Oysters are fresh, and they come in small sizes.
The “frites”, the meat with french fries and very delicious. Is not the regular french fries that you esta in other places.
The menu has a good variety of food, like: caviar, fish, meat, fish, pizza, burger and pasta. The wine menu is small, but good.
Design and decoration is old school, classic with a french feeling. Chic and warm vibes.
My favorite seat is inside by the french door with windows. I think is a little bit crowded and busy in the outside tables. If this is for a date, definitely I suggest you to take the table inside.

Le Zoo is located on the 1st level at Bal Harbour Shoppes with the main restaurant along the curbside and additional seating in the middle courtyard area. I prefer the inside of the main restaurant because of the ambiance created by the French and retro fusion decor. I always make a reservation, but there are usually tables available, plus there is seating at the bar area (but not much). The service here is usually very good, along with the management checking in to make sure everything is satisfactory. All of the food was fresh and prepared exactly as ordered. One of the things that stands out to me is the Cold Seafood Platter – all fresh and delicious! The only thing I don’t like about this restaurant is the bathroom – it really needs some cleaning and upgrading – but not enough to take a star off. Bon Appétit!

It’s a great option for miami spice. The service was awesome. Outstanding waiters. The onion soup is good, the tagliatelle is magnifique and the desserts delicious!!! A must try!

Fancy place, and the servers were nice. My wife and I went for Miami Spice and tried different things. The escargot were already out of their shells and in a sauce with mushrooms. The onion soup had a lot of cheese which I appreciated. Both appetizers were decent. For entrees we had the chicken paillard, and the tagliolini. The chicken dish had crushed green olives and nuts, which had an interesting flavor, but not my thing. The pasta on the other hand was phenomenal – was creamy with a truffle taste. What really shined were the desserts though. We had the creme brulee and profiteroles – Absolute must try!

We recently dined at Le Zoo, a French brasserie nestled in the upscale locale of Bal Harbour, near Miami. This area is renowned for its high-end shops, designer boutiques, and a variety of restaurants. It’s not uncommon to spot celebrities and other high-profile figures frequenting the Bal Harbour shops.
Over the years, we have had the pleasure of dining at several restaurants in this area. On this occasion, we chose to visit this French-Mediterranean establishment for dinner. We opted to sit on the patio, despite the interior of the restaurant being quite beautiful. The outdoor seating offered a cozy ambiance with views of palm trees.
The restaurant boasted a wide selection of oysters and caviars. However, we decided on sauteed foie gras, and onion soup gratinee for our appetizers. The foie gras, although small in portion, was delectable, especially when paired with marmalade. The french onion soup was also superb.
For our main course, we ordered steak frites, grilled salmon, duck l’orange, and butter noodles for our grandson. The butter noodles, which were essentially spaghetti, were served in a small portion and were quite buttery, which our grandson did not particularly enjoy. The orange duck, on the other hand, was quite flavorful. The steak frites and grilled salmon with citrus tabbouleh were also very tasty.
For dessert, we indulged in vanilla bean creme brulee and profiteroles with ice cream. As someone who is well-acquainted with the authentic taste of creme brulee, I must say, this creme brulee was genuinely true to its original flavor. Profiteroles were also delightful, but they were a bit heavy for me.
Another noteworthy aspect of our dining experience was the availability of mosquito repellent upon request. This thoughtful gesture significantly contributed to our overall satisfaction as customers.

Food was all delicious.
Only issue was the service as it was somewhat busy.
Slight wait.
The atmosphere is something of a “Je ne sais quoi”
In Miami but the interior is a temporary escape.
Very good creme brulee here.
Chicken Paillard was also good, but maybe a slighlty bigger portion and served a little warmer. Flavor was perfect**

Perfect steak with fries. The duck with orange is fantastic.
Escalopes were delicious: really recommend it.
Profiteroles are awesome: the ice cream is a smart addition.
