Neighborhood Bistro Miami

What a wonderful hidden gem of Coconut Grove! Tucked away next to Flannigans in the grove, I'm surprised I had never taken notice of this small cafe before. They are open only during the week with a simple lunch menu that also comes with their house made daily soup. The day my boyfriend and I ate there we were lucky to have their tomato soup. We both absolutely loved it especially since it tasted so fresh and homemade which is so rare with tomato soup. Next for our entrees I went with what their house favorite is: the creamy mushroom chicken which was served with veggies. Wow oh wow. So simple, but well made----it was delicious and something I could see myself eating all the time if I lived in the area. My boyfriend ordered the curry meatballs which were not at all what we were expecting but just as delicious. I'm surprised to see a review complaining about them since we enjoyed the entree so much. The curry had a wonderful flavor (more of a middle eastern flavor vs. asian). We shared a kale salad per recommendation. I don't even usually like kale and this salad was AMAZING. The mint, peanuts, and asian inspired dressing pulls it all together as a refreshing side dish or meal. I would've loved to try it with their salmon! Overall we loved our meal here and have told other friends that live in the area to definitely check them out since we both felt that their food was filling but so fresh/healthy that we didn't leave feeling overstuffed or bloated. Such a great meal at the right price. Look forward to trying more!
