Le Boudoir

Sooo I found out about this place because I googled «best places to have breakfast in miami». It was on the list, and close to home, so I decided to give it a try. Turns out the place is closed, huge eviction sign on their front door. Only writing review to let anyone else know.

This place has a lot of potential to be great. The location off Miracle Mile and the numerous parking options (street, metered lot & two parking garages) are a fantastic start.
So why the three stars? Well the service is not great. It isn’t bad. But not attentive.
The waitress very rarely checked on me & my guest, never offered water with my mimosa. Didn’t offer coffee at the beginning or dessert at the end of the meal either. Clearly a restaurant is in the business of selling & capturing as big of a check as you can get. These were missed opportunities.
The last negative point is that my brunch guest had to go find the waitress to get the bill. That’s not good. Food was solid but not exceptional.

Nice, friendly, great food. Quality-​price ratio very good for the gables Miracle Mile.

I am French and THIS IS real french food! Never disappointed !! Wines are good!
Would definitely recommend!

I can’t believe I hadn’t discovered this place before…
I was in the area last Saturday, wedding dress shopping with my best friend and her family. We were walking down to a few more shops but we were hungry. We were walking to Panera but spotted this little joint and popped in.
I had american coffee – so bad! very very bad coffee.
To eat, I ordered an omelette. It had bacon and potatoes inside! It came with a side of toast. This was so delicious. I could have eaten maybe 4 of these! The toast was wheat with the best strawberry jam I have had in a really long time.
One of my friends had the smoked salmon eggs benedict and it was surprisingly good! I was hesitant to try it because I am not a fan of smoked salmon, but it was very tasty!
The prices are a little on the high side. The thing that really threw me off was how expensive their mimosas were! $ 15 for one mimosa with literally the cheapest champagne that exists!
Service was just OK. There were only 2 people serving the entire restaurant of about 25 – 30 people. And only 1 of those 2 spoke english!
Ahhh, well a cute little place to pop into, if you’re into the French flare, but I can cook my own pancakes, with unlimited mimosas!

I’ve lived blocks away from this place for years but just discovered it. I have been missing out! Their french toast was made from baguette and amazing. 100x better than any french toast stick but a very similar concept.
I’m definitely making this my new breakfast spot.

I just got back from eating here and I can say it wasn’t great at all. I ordered the eggs Benedict that are made on top of a croissant instead of an English muffin. The hollandaise sauce was cold and taste-​less and the service was non existent. The entire time we were there, no one asked if our food was satisfactory, or even if we needed a refill on our drinks. They also already add a 15% gratuity to the bill that is always a draw back for me. I will not be returning here, there are a bunch of better places for the same price, cheaper, and with at least mid grade service.

Came here this morning for breakfast and was satisfied. My friend and I got two breakfast entrees and shared them both. The «Croque Mademoiselle» was quite tasty which my friend and I enjoyed the most out the two entrees; we also ordered a side of bacon with our sandwich. Our second entrée was the spinach and brie quiche which was okay in my opinion. My friend liked that the quiche was crustless. Move over, especially to end of our meal, we each ordered and shared two pricey french macaroons but where can you really get cheap french macaroons in miami. I ordered and liked the raspberry macaroon the most and my friend enjoyed the pistachio. We did go in on our dessert and ordered the tiramisu.
Their tiramisu is a must try as it is made in layers. Start ing from the bottom is a hard cookie like cake as a base, layer with what seemed like a moist coffee soaked cake, and topped with nice cream layer. Overall, breakfast was satisfying.
Tip: It’s their off season so their business hours changed and close at 4 pm.

The food is good. Just don’t be expecting Cheesecake Factory size portions. After all this is Le Boudoir, a French café and bistro. I had a good croque madam and the French toast was amazing with ita crunchiness and fresh fruit.
The wifi is free, but ask them for the password. They are happy to provide.
They have nice outdoor seating, service is average to on the slower side, and always pleasant.

We came here on Mother’s Day as it was the only place that didn’t have a crazy long wait. We’ve tried to go to a number of other restaurants but failed until we passed Le Boudoir. As for the food it was mediocre fare.
I had the salmon and goat cheese quiche, which was porous and gelatinous. The crust was mushy and soggy. The salmon was dry and chewy, the only thing that saved the quiche was the creaminess of the goat cheese. I can’t remember what my husband ordered and when I asked him, he couldn’t remember either.
Thankfully, they weren’t busy on Mother’s Day because we were aimlessly wandering around looking for somewhere to eat, but I probably won’t be going back.

Website is wrong, they open at 9am on Sunday, not 8am. And there’s no free wireless even though it states so on their menu.
We waited for them to open and were seated promptly. The waitress took a few orders ahead of ours, even though we were the first to arrive, so I assumed maybe they were regulars. My husband had the eggs benedict which was okay and I had eggs and toast. The service was a little slow and prices kinda high for what you get.

I can’t really say much to this place because we didn’t really dine in.
The place was empty, maybe they just opened. So, came here for french macarons 2.25ea, most expensive dessert I’ve ever purchased. There is a total of 12 pieces and they come in a little cute pink packaging (3per bag). Boyfriend and I loved them even when they were crushed they were still enjoyable. So if you’re around Miracle Mile and want some french macarons come here.
FYI: On the Unilocal app for this location it has the wrong time. Came here the night before and they were closed at like 4pm not 10pm.

YUM i went there with my cousin and her best friend to celebrate. Had some mimosas of course, and a croissant with cheddar and ham. The food was amazing and I will definitely go back!

Worst Experience EVER!
I had a brunch date with my 4 year old. I had promised to take him to the bookstore so naturally this was the perfect place to go.
When we arrive the restaurant is a little busy but nevertheless there were at least 4 tables available so its not like they were swamp. I stand around for a couple of minutes and no one acknowledges me. I finally go to the barista who informed me I could sit anywhere.
My table was dirty and still had a coffee cup from the previous customer. My son and I sat there a good 10 minutes ignored. Hungry I decided not to leave. So I call the waitress to our table. She brings me menus and takes our drink order. That’s right it took almost 15 minutes for us to get menus. When she finally brings our drinks, she forgets my coffee. I had to ask her 3 times for my coffee. My food took 30 minutes to arrive. No one came to my table the entire time. No refills, no «your food will be out shortly»… I was just ignored.
The food was alright. I would have enjoyed it more if I had better service.
The bill! $ 40.00 for breakfast for 1 adult and 1 child. The tip is included in the bill although service is horrible.
Le Boudoir will never see me again.

Such a cute «parisian» restaurant. I really felt like I was back in Paris, enjoying my mimosa close to Le Tour Eiffel. Your wallet will feel like its dining in Paris aswell– prices are very «european». At $ 9.50, the mimosas didnt flow as much as I wouldve liked. To eat, I indulged on a ham and cheddar croissant. Oui oui madam! It was perfectly delicious!
Overall, fun place to hang out with the girls and the service was amazing.

Generally fine spot for a breakfast or lunch, this place is small, French-​influenced, and indeed «boudoir-​like.» One feels a bit «squirreled away» in its small «boudoir» of a dining room, and I imagine this could be part of its appeal.
But Le Boudoir makes up for this with nice omelets, croissants, and good baguette sandwiches and soups for lunch.
Miami’s brutal heat makes it hard to sit in the outside café area in the summer months, but I’ve found Le Boudoir a convenient location for business breakfast and lunch meetings.
This is a nice alternative in a convenient Coral Gables location.

Cute café, love the outdoor seating set-​up. Very laid back and that goes for the service as well. Once we took our seat it took a few minutes to get a server. I was about to leave when a waitress brought our menu and took our drink order. After that everything went smoothly.
I had a salad with a French name I can’t remember– but I do know what was in it! Nice fresh lettuce, turkey, tons of yummy goat cheese, fresh avocado slices, tomatoes, and cucumber. I was worried that the salad might be too dainty but it was big! Perfect lunch salad. My husband had a panini with chicken, mozzarella, and pesto. It looked small but it was densely packed. The bite I had was great. Gooey cheese and fresh pesto– mm!
Prices are slightly higher than I think they should be but I would still go back.

Charming little taste of Paris right in Coral Gables.
We had a very nice breakfast here.
Coffee was good and service friendly. Just a bit expensive.

It’s all about customer service. Le Boudoir, c’est tres magnifique.
I discovered this almost decade old restaurant in Coral Gables on a gray and rainy morning. As soon as I walked it I felt like I was in my favorite European café. Maybe it was the music, maybe it was the warm and truly genuine greeting from the manager, Antwon.
I had scrambled eggs, french toast and mimosas for brunch. All were delicious, beautifully presented and served at just the right temperature. The atmosphere was nice to relax and people watch.
They serve a complimentary glass of champagne with dinner every night and on Wednesday’s they have ½ off bottles of wine. I will be brininging my friends and family to brunch, if not dinner.

My petit review.

Perfect location on Miracle Mile. Went their for brunch and its got great outdoor seating.
I ordered a pâté sandwich with cornichon on the side. I’m not a huge fan of cornichon but the pâté was great. My only little tiny issue was the fact that they left a bit of the fat on the pâté but no biggie. Very good overall.
For dessert, I had the macarons which were amazing. Best ever!!!
Next time, I’m going to try the saucisson with butter. You don’t really see saucisson and pâté on many menus. This French place is for real.
