Le Rendez-vous Bakery & Cuisine

Although we were the first people arriving at the restaurant, we were the last to be served. I felt that others got a preferential treatment like a group of French Canadians. We had to ask for water because it was never served to us. The foie gras was bland, and the desserts were stale. I was not impressed by the food either. We had lobster that came with a very small salad and we left the restaurant hungry. The service was horrible and the owner very rude. When my husband asked her to warm up a cold apricot tart, she said no.
There are plenty of good French restaurants in town. No need to repeat the bad experience.

While Le Rendez Bistro may offer French cuisine, the rude behavior of the owner significantly detracted from my overall experience. I hope they/she consider the importance of customer service, as it can make or break a restaurant. Until then, I may be hesitant to return or recommend it to others.

I read the reviews prior. They sounded good, but honestly, there’s absolutely nothing special about this restaurant. Definitely just average and the price is like a high-end restaurant. Late breakfast For two was $82 I asked for the eggs hard they came running like a river, it’s possible they didn’t understand. I ordered one pastry. It felt like just took it out of the fridge. It was apricot tart. I didn’t even finish it. Yeah, honestly, nothing special the potatoes they were so oily and old my wife Made a joke about the potatoes, I can’t even tell you the joke. Yeah, honestly, nothing special

we got to this place by mistake but we were longing a coffee..
started with a coffee, no latte art, no pretensions, but the coffee was good.
then we had a couple of croissants that were cold but tasty and not old.
asked for Madeleines (as it’s a french cafe) but they didn’t know what it even was, hence they didn’t have.
the bathroom was clean
then had breakfast, the benedict’s, the crepe, and the scrambled eggs were all really good.
service was a bit slow.

I was invited by my friend, who is a regular at this quaint, small French restaurant located in a strip mall with other mom-and-pop spots in North Miami Beach.

They welcomed us with fresh French baguette slices and butter, which set a delightful tone for the evening.

There is only one server, and they do not check on you or refill your water unless you ask.

I decided to try the escargot and French onion soup, dishes I wouldn’t typically make at home.

While waiting, I enjoyed a glass of wine—just needed some olives and cheese to complete the experience!

The place is clean and cozy, seating about 25 people.

It wasn't that busy, there were a few table turnovers during the two hours we were there.

The portions that other guests ordered looked huge.

Their display case was filled with baked goods that were very tempting.

The French onion soup was flavorful, though a bit too salty and topped with more cheese than I preferred, making it hard to get to the broth.

The escargot, however, was a highlight—coated in fresh garlic, butter, and oil, it wasn’t fishy or chewy. It was light and perfect for dipping the fresh bread.

My friend had the seafood pasta, which was a huge portion. Unfortunately, I didn't like the mussels in the dish. The seafood tasted too fishy for my preference.

We finished the meal by sharing a thick and sweet chocolate torte, which was a lovely ending.

While I enjoyed the experience, my ankles swelled up at the end, so next time I’d opt for lighter fare. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu!

Seated outside was nice, but I had to ask for a server to take our order. Sitting next to a big group and once they finished, the servers begin to clean before the party was done. At this point they were trying to seat another group, this whole time I'm waiting for my ticket to pay. Had to get up to go on the inside, still no acknowledgement. At this point, I should just leave! Trying to be a good patron but this type of service is either race driven or they only care to cater to who they feel is more important. Sad but true! Will not return but good food

The decor is pleasant and welcoming.

The croissant sandwich, their namesake menu item, and the potatoes are delicious. The eggs felt lacking in salt, but were fluffy and abundant. The two pork sausages were juicy, and a little sweet, smoky. The latte and cappuccino were both smooth and not too milky, though some might prefer the coffee slightly more prominent. Oh and I enjoyed their pain au chocolate. They see seemed to have a nice selection of other sweet pastries.

However, I also tasted the Florentine crepe, and the mushroom gravy lacked a distinct flavor. I can't remember much more about it, as it was my friend's order.

The wait staff seemed attentive and patient.

My biggest gripe was their service charge, which I don't recall expecting from their menu (maybe I missed it). It's unclear whether that charge serves as a baseline tip. So I get the receipt and am faced with an ethical crisis! Had I expected the service charge, I would have ordered at the counter and been on my way. Perhaps I could have asked, but I was a bit flustered and eager to go onto my next engagement.

Had brunch here this morning after tennis was canceled because of the rain, and I’ve found my new favorite breakfast spot! I had an omelette with mushrooms, onions and Gruyère cheese and it was delicious. I’m usually not a fan of home potatoes but these were so fantastic and flavorful, and the French bread on the side with homemade strawberry preserves was dreamy! I didn’t think to take pictures, I should have.

The cafe is popular and it seems like many are regulars. Do set your expectations accordingly before going - the service is authentically French; friendly when taking your order and they’ll check on you once in a while. They don’t rush you for the table, and they’re not checking if you need something every two minutes. It’s perfect for enjoying your food, having a wonderful, relaxed chat with whoever you’re with, and taking it easy.

The inside is cozy with a few tables. There are more tables outside. I’m stuffed now and already looking forward to next time!
