À la Folie Café

I wasn’t impressed by the food on Miami Beach in general but this little cafe next to our hotel proved to be my favorite spot for breakfast. 🥞

The pricing is very reasonable ($10-11 for sweet crepes and a bit more for savory ones) and the menus are printed in newspaper format, which I thought was very cute. The tea and coffee are served in bowls. The tea is loose leaf but a bit bland (this is more of a US problem tho).

The atmosphere was very beautiful and unique! It felt very cozy and comfortable, we sat on the garden area. The waitress was nice but the food took good amount of time to arrive and we were starving, we ordered french onion soup and steak sandwich both delicious! Will definitely go back when I visit south beach.

It seems like your experience will depend on the owner’s presence. It’s overall a great place, and the only French restaurant in Miami Beach. It’s located in the very agreeable Española way, and boasts great dishes you won’t find elsewhere. I’d advise you to treat yourself with typical French stuff you can’t find elsewhere, the paté/rillettes, charcuterie, saucisse de morteau,etc.. but the staff seemed pretty inexperienced and uneducated about the French food, last time as they misunderstood the dishes we were asking for, thank God we know all of these or else we would’ve been eating pâté thinking it was rillettes. Also the œufs cocotte, although good, were completely cooked, the yolk is supposed to stay liquid in such dishes.

I can't rave enough about this gorgeous gem. Gnocchi was amazing. Banana Crepe was divine. Felt like we were in a little Parisienne lane way. Please visit.

This is truly a FRENCH French cafe, please do not bring American expectations in. We had lunch dine-in and take away breakfast and both were delightful. We sat next to regulars at lunch who told us it was a special place and it is.
The forestier and Suzette crepes were amazing. Holbox salad yummy. Gnocchi yummy but very rich. Chocolate fondant SO DECADENT and yummy. Fruit salad is a skip.

Nicely tucked away at the end of Espanola way, this french bistro is a little authentic jewel. Excellent home made food, natural wines, friendly service and a cosy vibe both indoors as well as the terrace. We have been back multiple times and never been let down. Highly recommended 👌

I adored this restaurant. First and foremost let’s talk about the fact that their menus are the same size as a newspaper and has stories about crepes so it feels as though you are truly reading a newspaper at a cafe in France. Secondly let’s talk about how much joy their food brought to my stomach, heart, and tastebuds. The gazpacho and gnocchi were beyond good. I finished with a crepe and surprisingly that was my least favorite dish. I think it’s because it was made more traditional than Americanized versions so it was a bit tougher than I expected. Additionally wished I had gotten a wine instead of a cocktail. If you visit Espanola Way and want great food in a homey environment, highly recommend a visit

Prepared to be amazed. Very authentic French food. The crepes are the best we have tried in town. The menu has plates that we haven’t seen at other French places. We will come back to try the others. The service is great too, happy hour ends at 7:00 pm even on Saturday. The location is passed the busy part of española way so is quiet .

Incredible place tucked away provides an intimate and localized experience. Food is so tasty and seasoned perfectly. 10/10 recommend

Great atmosphere and delicious food! Baguette is great, French onion soup is one of the best outside of the France, the croissants are great and the coffee is delicious. I would definitely recommend

Perfect breakfast/lunch place
Two ham and cheese croissants and two coffees were just $36, but delicious. Coming back for crepes for sure!

This is an updated review. I had come here once before and wasnt impressed with the food. HOWEVER, today everything was perfection. I had an amazing mushroom crepe, on a rainy day, and could not be happier. The staff is really friendly and not pushing you out once you finish the meal. Thank you for this experience.

Beautiful French Café. Lovely environment and amazing crêpes! Would recommend.

So lovely! We came here for brunch and ordered a latte, crapes and a salad. The watermelon goat cheese salad was perfect, nice and light. I love that their crêpes are gluten and lactose free, it is really hard to find dairy free crapes and this one was delicious and did not make my stomach hurt! It has such a cute European ambience on Espanola Way. They don’t take reservations so go early if you don’t want to wait!

Nice place, quiet, nice music. Honestly the perfect place to have a date with your significant other and have a good conversation . Cool vibes. Very hospitable and dont get me started with the food. FANTASTIC.

As someone who is on a constany lookout for a 10/10 crepe, I’d say this one is very close to a 10. I did not have any expectations but I actually loved it. Aside from food, it’s at a very nice location and you want to sit there and just enjoy the atmosphere:)

Great little taste of a French cafe in Miami. With the casual vibes, they don’t rush you and as the cafe is not polished, it feels like a real European cafe, especially with the street it is on. Solid French food, pastries & coffee.

Delicious food and inviting ambiance. Had the hit chocolate and milk with rum. Need to return and try more items.

Food is good! Service is a little slow just like if it was in Paris! Escargot is delicious!!!!! French onion soup on point! Cute place perfect for a date! Just be ready to sit outside, not enough indoor seats!

Classic/rustic french cafe ambiance. Solid espresso drinks and friendly staff.
