Brasserie Laurel is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. The food is always amazing and the service is unmatched. On my last visit, my server Augustin took the time to go over all the new additions to the regular menu and walked me through the Miami Spice options as well. He helped me pick the Monkfish Wellington which was absolutely phenomenal, and paired it with a glass of Chateau Carbonnieux. Best dinner I’ve had in a while! Can’t wait to come back with my girlfriends for their amazing happy hour!!

We’ve been here a couple of times now and every visit has been a wonderful experience. The customer service is truly top-notch—attentive, welcoming, and consistent. The ambiance is elegant yet cozy, making it a perfect spot for date nights or enjoying happy hour.
The food is absolutely delicious—authentic French cuisine that’s beautifully prepared and presented. Every dish is well-seasoned and cooked with care, and you can tell the chef is passionate about quality and flavor. From the first bite to the last, everything feels thoughtfully crafted.
Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for an authentic French dining experience with exceptional service and a warm, inviting atmosphere.

I had brunch for a friend’s birthday. We had miami spice brunch. The selection was less but good enough. The escargot was delicious also the avocado soup. They gave us a complimentary guava mimosa for the occasion and treated us very well!

Every. Single. Detail. Was. Perfect. There are so many new trendy restaurants open in Miami, and I've tried them all. It's so rare to find a place that hits it out of the park in every aspect. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but everything was so succulent, well done. Service top notch. Augustine was the best server. Will be back

I’ve been to brasserie laurel 4 times now, and each time it has been too notch. Slightly modern French food, but still grounded to French roots. The service is great and has been consistently wonderful. Highly recommend

The food was absolutely amazing—highly recommend starting with the escargot and tuna tartare, both of which were packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. For mains, the short rib pappardelle and steak frites were divine—rich, perfectly cooked, and so satisfying.
We chose to sit at the bar, which turned out to be a lovely spot, and took full advantage of their generous happy hour from 5–8. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service made the evening even better.
Overall, this is a fantastic restaurant that I’ll definitely be returning to!
My husband and I came to Brasserie Laurel for a quick happy hour for the first time before a show at the Kaseya. What an amazing experience! Coming in, you’re immediately impressed by the beautiful and sophisticated decor - beautiful color combos of navy and gold with marble and wood accents. Yovi warmly greeted us and gave us a great orientation to Brasserie Laurel, including her very helpful recommendations. She was friendly and knowledgeable and helped make our first experience here amazing.
We were pleasantly surprised although we were there for happy hour to receive an amuse bouche and a warm, complimentary biscuit. What a nice touch! Both were absolutely delicious and got us excited about the dishes to come. The biscuit especially was absolutely amazing - warm and rich with incredible flavor.
We started with some oysters, which were served beautifully and had great flavor. Very easy also to remove from the shell. We also had the shrimp cocktail, which you wouldn’t think would be anything special, but really impressed us in the size and quality of the shrimp. The beet and watermelon salad was maybe one of my favorites - tangy, refreshing and great blending of flavors. The tartine and frog legs came out next and were also amazing. You cannot miss the frog legs (unless maybe you really have something against eating frogs) - crispy, flavorful and the green goddess sauce pairing is phenomenal. It was my husband’s first time having frog legs and he loved them. Lastly, we got the short rib pappardelle to share - the pasta was clearly fresh and the sauce was rich and flavorful. A very good portion to share after having a few other apps, as Yovi recommended to us.
Beyond just the amazing food, the service was exceptional - especially again considering we were there for happy hour but even just as a standard. The pacing of service was smart and well-executed. Although we ordered all our dishes together, they brought them out in a very logical order based on temperature and size - smaller cold dishes first and warm and more substantial last. And we never had any come out too quickly or too late. Our table was cleaned in between dishes and new silverware was given when needed without asking. Empty dishes disappeared from the table quickly and efficiently, but always when we were actually finished. My husband and I particularly both noticed one moment of great attention to detail with this that really impressed us. The shared shrimp cocktail plate was empty and someone came to take it away but then had a subtle glance at my plate and saw I had a shrimp on my plate and left it to let me have the sauce with my last remaining shrimp. A small but impressive moment of excellent service.
Yovi of course made up a big part of our great experience - she knew we had a show to catch and was very kind to be mindful of this for us by checking in to see if there were other things we wanted to order (which is good, because my husband and I could have ended up sitting there all night!). She did this in a pleasant and friendly way that did not rush us at all and clearly was for our benefit.
We will definitely need to come back for a full meal experience too, although highly recommend the happy hour as one of the best in Miami and a must-try. I think the cherry on top is that Brasserie Laurel is one of the very few restaurants at Miami World Center of local origin. I understand they are owned by the Ariete group, which also has the Michelin-starred restaurant Ariete in the Grove in its portfolio. So you know you’re in good hands here. Chug’s I understand is also part of the same group so I believe that and Brasserie are the only two restaurants at Miami World Center actually from Miami, all the other places maybe nice but they’re transplants - so please support local!

Cozy place with good food and drinks! They also have a happy hour until 7pm. Very attentive personnel! Very casual attire, we were celebrating anniversaries and I think we overdressed ourselves 😅 But over all it’s a good place and we will go back again.

We arrived just three minutes late to find another group seated at our table — no problem. The team handled it seamlessly. The food was outstanding, with highlights including the canapés, an exceptional sea bream crudo, and a perfectly executed monkfish Wellington, each dish showing real technique and depth of flavor.
