For a casual meal, try one of the many high-end cafes or bakeries lining the streets, such as Ariete, Le Pain Quotidien, and La Colada Gourmet. For something more substantial, plenty of restaurants serve fresh seafood, international cuisine, and more. This includes Los Felix/Krus Kitchen, Nave, Chug's, and Planta Queen, among others.
Coconut Grove is also home to many renowned restaurants with chef-driven menus. For modern Lebanese food, visit Amal. The hidden gem Level6 is the perfect place to get rooftop cocktails and watch the sunset.
When it’s somewhere as high-end as Mr. C’s, a hotel restaurant and bar is truly unbeatable, and Bellini’s Italian fare and the full cocktail menu are no exception. Sadelle’s is a New York favorite that has found its way to Coconut Grove, offering iconic bagels, high-end brunch, and a great meal any time of the day. Narbona is a market and restaurant with incredibly fresh seasonal ingredients, bespoke catering, and casually elegant dining. The Key Club is a typical American bar and grill but elevated with gorgeous decor and unique takes on classic menu items. The casual atmosphere of Sapore di Mare perfectly complements the coastal Italian menu, and the true star of this spot is its list of over 100 wines. And tucked on a side street, Le Bouchon Du Grove is a romantic nook where you can sample French cooking and dessert.
For shopping, Coconut Grove is home to many boutique shops and new concept stores like Bazaar. Main Street is the perfect place to browse for unique gifts. If you’re looking for a day by the pool or at the spa, visit Mayfair Hotel, or escape the sun in the luxury seats of Cinépolis Cinemas.
