Top Best French Restaurants in Hibiscus Island

"Set up in a modern penthouse with views of Miami Beach, Juvia is the local’s go-to when it comes to rooftop restaurants. The menu matches the avant-garde décor—offering an eclectic mix of French, Japanese, and Peruvian meals varying from tuna poke to duck confit. Decorated in a lovely lilac and white motif underneath the starry-night sky, this outdoor restaurant checks all the boxes so that you can focus on sealing the deal."

"A contemporary restaurant buzzing atop the 1111 Lincoln Road mixed-use building and parking garage, Juvia is a welcome breather from one of Miami’s most popular tourist destinations. Diners take a separate elevator up to a terrace for French, Japanese, and Peruvian plates, along with specialty cocktails and South Beach sights."

"You’ve surely dined at Juvia in the evening, but have you visited this rooftop restaurant for brunch?. Beyond the unbelievable city views, Juvia serves a pretty affordable bottomless brunch (by Miami Beach standards, at least). Enjoy two hours of all-you-can-drink mimosas, tequila margaritas or bellinis for $30."

"After a hard night of clubbing or bar-hopping, nothing's better than a hefty sandwich from this walk-up counter right off Collins Avenue. Crusty French bread is piled high with your choice of meats (from turkey and prosciutto to pate and smoked salmon), cheeses (fresh mozzarella, swiss, brie) and condiments (never skip the cornichons). If you need a veggie fix, opt for a salad, like the French Riviera (lettuce, tomatos, green and hot peppers, black olives, onions, cucumbers, cornichons, carrots, and egg); all are generous, fresh and tasty."

"This classic sandwich counter in South Beach is open virtually around the clock and functions both as an unrivalled hangover helper and a quick, filling meal before a day at the beach.

Portions are large enough to share."

"La Sandwicherie features daily fresh ingredients, crisp baguettes or soft croissants and the added magic of the infamous vinaigrette that make for a true taste sensation. They’re also open every day from 7am to 5am so whether you’re wanting a lunch or you’re needing an after-bar snack La Sandwicherie has you covered!"

"LPM Restaurant and Bar is Brickell’s answer to fancy French Mediterranean cuisine.

Among its physical attributes are white walls with high ceilings lined with bronze crown moldings, cozy tables with comfortable beige seats, and a small, intimate library with plush couches and superb mood lighting."

"Villa Azur rewrites South Beach’s uncurbed allure in bold, cursive italics, guided by quill feather and inkwell.

"Normandy Isle’s Rouge is an unexpected experience in Moroccan-French cooking. It’s part luxurious garden, part Casablanca (there’s live jazz at the grand piano every Wednesday), and your best bet for an upscale meal in North Beach. Moroccan born chef/owner Nabil Hach Al-luch bought the space in 2012, and created a menu with dishes like Moroccan braised duck and apricot, rabbit stew, and branzino en papillote."

"For a taste of Europe without having to hop on a plane, look no further than Costa Med in Key Biscayne. Since 2003, this local favorite has been the site of many a celebration. This cozy bistro is known for its exquisite cuisine and diverse wine list—two big requirements for any date night."

"Nouvelle French cuisine served in a cozy, unpretentious setting – this is the forte of chef-owner Pascal Oudin's friendly little eatery, where Coral Gables sophisticates scramble to secure one of the handful of tables or, if nothing else, a stool at the small bar area. While decor may not dazzle, the menu sure will, especially when one factors in such delightful dishes as lobster bisque, crispy sea bass in a red wine reduction, veal rib-eye with endive, and steamed salmon with shrimp and scallops. Of course, desserts at such a place are always in order, and Pascal's clafoutis with fresh, dark cherries is nothing short of divine."

"Chef Pascal Udin and his fearless kitchen team honors classic cooking methods. The cozy 55-seater dining room brings strict standards to a wide audience that enjoys terrines, airy souffles, fresh seafood and decadent desserts."

"Pascal’s On Ponce is a highly recommended French restaurant here in the city. This is conveniently located in Coral Gables. The restaurant first opened its doors back in 2000."

"Restaurants Ice cream parlors Flagami. Named for the famous ice cream parlor in Havana, Coppelia serves up traditional ice cream, milkshakes and sundaes just like its namesake did in Cuba more than 50 years ago. With that, this place specializes in nostalgia-tinged dessert, featuring pre-revolutionary Cuban favorites like the Copa Lolita, a caramel flan sundae, and flavors like mamey and mantecado."

"Popsicles and paletas are one of the toughest foods to get delivered, but Paletas Morelia has figured it out.

There is an outdoor eating area for guests to dine al fresco in an area with a tiki hut theme, and there is even an outdoor swimming pool."

"A hidden favorite down the road, Monty’s, is ideal for waterfront afternoon drinking and the occasional local band. Walk along the dock to admire boats of all shapes and sizes."
