Le Zoo

We came here for an early lunch on a Friday and sat on the patio. Waitress was very attentive and quick with our food. The location is very nice right by the valet stand. Patio is covered and has lots of room.

We had a great brunch at Le Zoo. Inside is terrific. Outdoors is quieter where you can hear each other talk. Nice to have both options. We will be back for sure. I love crème brûlée 🍮

This is one of my fav places to dine when visiting Miami and Bal Harbor.
Fantastic ambiance, amazing cocktails, and wonderful service.

Ask for Sabrina to be your server. She will help you navigate the best dining options on the menu.

This is just an amazing place to eat and enjoy life. Spectacular menu with fresh tasting food in a comfortable outside seating. Our server Diego was just excellent, very knowledgeable of the menu and made great recommendations.

It’s a very likely place located in the mall however, the inside of the restaurant is beautiful. My fish was cooked perfectly and the service was great. I find the carpaccio was a bit bland but it was still good. The scallops, however, were one of the best scallops I’ve had.

The best onion soup and burger in town. Love this place because for some weird reason its never packed so you can normally count on getting a table as a walk in (unlike the other places in Bal Harbor where you’re more likely to spot a UFO than get a table without a reservation on a weekend)

Enjoyed a very nice lunch today had the salmon on brioche bun, tuna tartare and a creme brulee. Very nice service staff was very friendly will definitely be back thank you.

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!

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!

Le Zoo never disappoints. Like it’s sister Le Parc on Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia, this Stephen Starr French bistro never disappoints. The steak tartare is excellent, and I love that they divide the Niçoise salad if you’re sharing it. The burger and steak frites are perfectly prepared. I always have a Martini or Negroni before wine, any the bar men are always on point. Jonathan was on top of his game as our server. Will continue to come back to this Bal Harbour staple.

This restaurant is must for anyone looking forward for a sophisticated dinner with many wonderful options !

Amazing experience! From setting our reservation, our arrival, service, delicious food to departure!
An important family reunion celebration and I wanted everything to be perfect! Taking the Brightline from West Palm Beach to Miami and an Uber to Bal Harbour I called the host several times due on o train delays.. they were always gracious and very accommodating!
A perfect inside table with a high chair for the baby. The atmosphere is a French cafe very trendy.
Karma was our server and she was definitely 5 ⭐ Star!! Professional, extremely attentive, friendly, welcoming service!
The delicious warm bread and butter to start is a throwback to neighborhood bakeries.
Two crisp Rieslings were ordered and a beer.
The Papardele Bolo, the Tagliolini and the Grilled Salmon were exceptional! Cooked perfectly! A good portion for brunch and very affordable for Bal Harbour! We also had a cheeseburger with fries and chicken fingers and fries. Also delicious!
The desserts are exceptional ! The crème brûlée is absolutely delicious! Creamy vanilla custard a rich but delicate dessert! The Profiteroles are enough to share.. ice cream, pastry stuffed with dark chocolate syrup poured Tableside. Sweet and delicate!
Chocolate Pot de cream, a Chantilly- like a mouse … all delicious and easily shared! Two double espresso and one cappuccino! A perfect ending to a perfect day!
The food was outstanding, the service exceptional and the experience fabulous! Thank you so much! I highly recommend!

Really well located and the food wasn’t too pricey. It’s a nice spot.

Upscale French cuisine, great dishes recommended by the server. We definitely enjoyed our dishes, for first timers at Le Zoo this was a great experience! Great customer service and ambience both inside and outside.

Hellooo!! We had lunch while miami spice was still around.

Food was very good. Well presented. Please look at the photos for more info.

Service was excellent. On point and friendly.

We sat in the front patio. Such a nice breeze.

Hope yall doing good.

I made reservations and went for a date night. Food was very delish and nice ambiance!! Every dish was flavorful. Loved it 🫶🏽

I don’t usually put 5 stars reviews but this place deserves it. We made a reservation, we arrived 30min earlier and they were able to seat us. Food was exquisite and fast service. I think that prices are fair enough for Miami. Definitely coming back when I’m in the area.
