We ordered Chicken Paillard and a Margherita Pizza. Le Zoo is located at the Bal Harbour Shops which has the best shopping in the world.

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.Parking: There is standard valet parking available for $10; and as an alternative, there is a ‘luxury’ valet parking option priced at $30. The luxury service includes parking your car in a lot right in front of you.
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.

Thoroughly enjoyed our brunch, menu offered a variety of great options but ended up choosing the Gruyère omelette, leaving room for an indulgent Profiterole dessert! Will most definitely return to try out some of the other delicious yummies. ??
Best restaurant at the Bal Harbour shops!. The food is great and have great selection of different dishes . I'm a regular. I live across the street. Le Zoo is my favourite resto in the neighborhood

My only concern was the lukewarm water we were served in our water glasses. I asked for a glass of ice and the waitperson brought it right away. My friend asked for more water about 3 times before getting some. Otherwise we enjoyed our lunch.
We were seated in the courtyard Waiter took our drink order Never came back to take our food order Another server took our order Original server came back to give us the check Not happy with the service last night

A few hours in Paris! We enjoyed a truly lovely experience, transported to another place....every dish looked and tasted delicious, the ambiance authentic, beautiful floor tiling, the lighting, and the service was responsive and expedient. (Haley). Coming back to enjoy the bar next time!

The place is very nice and wait staff is great. Food was really very ok. We had to return ribeye special, it was all fat, and very little meat was raw. Had to wait for appetizer for a long time, when it finally arrived it was so tiny, literally one bite. Was not worth the money at all.

?? I had made reservation for 5 people so I was not a walk in. I got a table with no table cloth it was so sticky we had to put our napkins on the table to cover itThe waiter had an attitude, no smilles, annoyed when we asked questions.We ordered the followingBronzino filet is was average no French finesse or touchTruffle pizza with egg yolk it was good but not enough to want to try this againWe had truffle pasta again averageDessert was profiterole, where’s the French crème pastissiere it was vanilla ice creamThe chocolate was a regular chocolate siropAnd the chou was not French pâtisserie levelIt was not worthy of a French bistro cuisineThe bathroom where not clean and smellySo it killed our Saturday night.??
