Editorial Review for Le Bouchon du Grove – by Lesley Abravanel
In Short
Once a playground for bohemian hippie types, Coconut Grove was seized by capitalists who Disneyfied the quaint village in a big way. People nostalgic for the past haven't written the Grove off entirely, seeking solace in the comforts of Le Bouchon du Grove, an authentic French bistro with doors that open to the outside, providing a perfect view of pedestrian traffic yet keeping diners at a safe enough distance away from the madness.

We had a seat rigth away with reservation (of course) we had the foie gras and the escargots to start.... oh my god was so tasty and delicious..... The waiter told us about the best dish in the house wich is the chicken fricasse and wouah amazing souvenirs The bouchon has been declared the best french restaurant in miami, and i know why....

Hi, As a french citizen and traveler I must say that Le bouchon is a joke to any real French cuisine connaisseur ! Their menu uses fancy descriptions to sell you very mediocre french food that tastes nowhere nearly as good as they want you to think. The decor is so cheesy and is definitely a tourist trap which caters to american stereotypes about France. The staff which was once french is now mostly latino american and the new owner has absolutely no charisma. I have been told it used to be faboulous but the new ownership must be driving this restaurant into the ground. The other french restaurant across the street is much more refined and classy, serving authentic homestyle french cuisine without catering to stereotypes and without the obnoxious attitude of Le Bouchon.
Pros: NONE
Cons: Overpriced, obnoxious owner, carppy food
