    One of my favorite places in Miami. Either you choose the chevre chaud salad, or a crepe madame, french onion soup or their delicious fresh pastries, you can't go wrong. It's like Paris on Espanola.

    I wouldn't say an authentic Parisian bistro but it's pretty dang close and good! Decent prices and nice service. Definitely a good place to escape South Beach for a moment!

    Onion soup, Salad de chevres and sweet crepes are delicious. They also have Lavazza coffee with the real taste of coffee so hard to find in US. Maybe the best lunch I had in Miami.

    Yummy yummy crepes and wine plus theperfect vibe/ambiance with live music. Seemed authentic French as well with waiters leaving you alone for majority of meal 😂. Would go back absolutely!

    Saucisson and homemade potato salad dressed with red onion oil; pan bagnat (sort of a salade niçoise on a crunchy-crusted baguette); and, especially, crepes, both sweet and savory. Read more

    Dodge the crowds at the beginning of Española Way and head straight to this hidden gem. Authentic and healthy French fare!

    If your idea of a good time is having a warm pain au chocolat ($2.50) and a giant cafe au lait ($4), while sitting in a gardenlike setting then A La Folie is your escape in the middle of Miami Beach.

    I had the tartiflette which was big and delicious, and a lemon sugar crêpe for desert! The waiters are french. Great place to have a pure french experience!

    Small, cozy cafe, only a few blocks away from the South Beach. Order the butter and sugar crêpe if you're up for devouring something sweet.

    Delicious food. Very casual and relaxed atmosphere with plenty of sidewalk tables. Definitely has a very euro feel. Get a custom crepe w goat cheese, mushrooms and spinach.

    Outside patio is beautiful. The almond croissant is very fresh and their cafe is super good. I'm coming back if I'm in Miami again.

    Make sure you sit in the back where there is a garden akin to a Monet painting.

    One of my favorite spots for a leisurely meal or a glass of wine. Don't be afraid to try to pronounce the items seen on their very authentic menu. The staff and service are great!

    This feels like an old school Parisian Café. Whether I’m having a bottle of wine or cup of coffee, I feel as though I’m in Paris on the sexiest of days. - Tracy

    One of the few places in Miami where you can eat actual bread and not the american imitation usually served in the States. The baguette rules!

    The atmosphere is good for a nice coffee and a tasty snack, but service is poor and plates do not fill you up.
