La Côte is best for lunch, while lounging at the pool at Fontainebleau. Not that hungry? Try the Greek Mezze platter to split with everyone. But don't make the mistake that you need to order anything else. This is my favorite app (and meal) at La Côte. Pretty much everything on the menu is tasty, though. In the cabanas? The good news is that you can order from La Côte's menu and don't have to use the pool menu. It is 10 times better and worth the extra effort of paying one cabana check and one food check. read more

Just arrived into town and chose La Cote for lunch at the Fountainbleu, easy walk from next door at Eden Roc. We sat at the upstairs level and enjoyed the views of the gorgeous ocean and the activity down below at the FB pool. The pear sangria was refreshing! The garlic shrimp was a great starter for two people, very flavorful and even the bread was tasty. The veggie flatbread w chicken was also very good, I mostly ate the veggies and chicken and left the bread out for less calories! Great place to lunch and people watch!! read more

Good music and beach/pool views. Perfect for lunch. Don't worry about changing clothes after the pool/beach swimsuit wear is welcomed. We had Brooke as our server she was very attentive. She recommended the passion fruit caphrina and it's delicious. Hubby had Stella beer which was priced right for $7. Cocktails are $15 plus but your paying for the location. We had the mahi baguette with fries it was so good with sundried tomatoes. Large enough portions to share. Tell them your sharing and they will split it for you. Ketchup comes in a cute little bottle. Water Mist fans to cool you down and umbrellas to keep you in the shade. read more

I booked a treatment at the Lapis spa, so I was looking for a restaurant in the hotel for lunch. The review of this place weren't great, but I saw the prices of the other poolside to-go restaurant (over $10 for a hot dog), and I figured I'd rather spend a little more for nicer food. I had the lobster roll and dill potato chips. I was pleasantly surprised. In fact, this lobster roll was better than the one I had at Joe's stone crab the day before. (I'm on a lobster roll streak, what can I say?). The service was just fine as well. I spent over $30 with tip for the lobster roll, so I felt it was overpriced, but still delicious for something I expected to be mediocre. I would have given 4 stars if the price were a little better or there had been an ocean view. read more

Great experience here. I would have to give the credit to our server Shayla. She was very nice and pleasant. She was very attentive. The place was very busy but Shayla took great care of us and all the other tables around us. The burger I had was delicious!! We requested a drink that wasn't on the the menu and they accommodated us. Big points for that. If you come here ask for Shayla. Great service is everything when eating and or dining out. Cheers I'll be back again soon. read more

This place has a great vibe to it. You are right there poolside at the Fontainebleau. They had a DJ playing the whole time with some awesome music. The service was really good and the food was pretty good as well. There was a group of us and we just split the bruschetta which was super fresh and had the perfect balance of garlic and vinaigrette. We also got the greek mezze which had an array of things on the plate and when you put everything together on the pita, it turned out to be very tasty. The food was pretty good, but you definitely pay for the ambiance and dining at the Fontainebleau. Good place to bring visitors. read more

Came here as part of a pre-fixed lunch menu after spa services at Lapis spa in the Fountainebleau. The view is amazing from the rooftop but the food is just mediocore. I had the standard ceasar salad to start and then the grilled mahi mahi with heirloom tomato, frisée, avocado lemon citronette. I felt the fish was over cooked and the tomatoes were not fresh. I would probably only eat here by default if necessary while staying at the hotel. read more

Great place to watch football and have a great time on a Sunday afternoon. They had a DJ and a guy that played the saxophone. Loved the bartenders they were very entertaining. Order a Mojito!!!!! Fun afternoon!!! read more

Absulute my Favorite spot in Mia! The Best ocean view, Fresh and delicious food, coconuts, DJ and live music - Saxophone,drums. Steps from the beach. Highly recommend. read more

If you are staying on the beach at the FB, the food will come from here. The service was friendly, and a bit slow (full beach), but very convenient. We ordered a bunch of Lobster rolls which were fresh that came alongside with fruit, salad or fries. We also got the grilled chicken sandwich was also good. Overall, I would recommend popping in if you are hanging by the pool or too lazy to move from the beach. Just keep in mind, there is an automatic 18% gratuity included when closing out. Buon Appetito read more

The food was good. We had grilled chicken panini's which were well seasoned and we prepared. The problem was the extremely slow service and the extremely loud techno music. read more

White sangria and good service-when our primary waitress was busy, other knowledgable waiters stepped in and seamlessly met our needs. Pleasant and positive personalities made lunch a wonderful treat. Miami Spice menu was delicious - smoked salmon, Mahi-mahi, and a chocolate profiteroles. We will return! read more

Service was great! Had the burgers and fries nothing fancy. Took two stars off because for $8 for beer it should at least be cold!

My boyfriend and I went here just for lunch and we loved it! This is located at the Fontainebleu hotel which is mind blowing and my absolute favorite place in Miami Beach. La Cote's hostesses were so sweet and friendly. Our table was on the top floor overlooking the ocean as well as the Fontainebleu swimming areas. Our waiter was great and we got our food very quickly. I had the chicken sandwich with avocado and it was delicious! Prices weren't too high considering where it is. Drinks were a bit on the pricier side but it is the Fontainebleu. I recommend coming here for a lunch and drink if you're not staying at the hotel. Self parking was convenient and cheap ($1/hour) just next to the hotel. Love this place! read more

Great bar with strong drinks. Good is great as well. Ordered the burger with onion rings. The portion size was large and was a great way to take away the alcohol effect read more

We are native Floridians and were hosting our friends from the northeast - wanting to give them a taste of Miami. We chose La Cote...and it proved a PERFECT choice! We were seated on the upper level which afforded ocean and pool views. The scene was great - energized house music (it WAS the weekend of ULTRA!) people dancing, awesome for people watching. It was hot and sunny, we were seated in a cabana with a U shaped couch which was perfect for our group of eight. The service was impeccable - the pitchers of creative drinks were refreshing and delicious. I didn't find the menu to be so special, but to be honest, the food was secondary to the experience we hoped to give our visitors - and La Cote delivered! read more

I came here last year and all was good but today was the contrary. We got great ocean view seating and our waitress was very nice and took good care of us. The food is the reason for the two stars. I ordered a chicken panini with a side salad, simple. Well my chicken was cold when I received it, it was also tough, hard as a rock. The salad wasn't any better. It was literally 2 plum tomatoes cut in half on a bed of a baby spring mix. What kind of salad is that?! There was no dressing on it either. Of course I made the waitress aware and she was very nice and offered to bring me a new one or let me pick something else from the menu but I just asked for dressing and kept my stiff chicken. When we got the bill the waitress explained she was sorry about the panini and removed it from the bill for us. That was very nice but I'll definitely be staying away from La Côte from now on. read more

Got a recommendation from the concierge while we were waiting for our room to be ready. The drinks were delicious! Poured with a semi heavy hand but for the price it was great. We ordered the chicken panini with fries. A pretty basic sandwich but it didn't disappoint. Loved that it was almost on the beach and a great setting for being in the hotel read more

Like all the Fontainebleau restaurants, you're going here more for convenience than a culinary experience and everything is fairly overpriced. Came here for lunch one day and shared a Caesar salad and cheeseburger with watermelon margaritas. The salad was decent and the burger was actually cooked to specification (medium rare)....the drinks were decent as well. Located right next to the expansive hotel pool area with seating in little cabana type tables. What I can recommend is trying a can of Miami Weiss (pun intended), a refreshing wheat beer. read more

Our waiter Mohammed was very rude. We sat there for almost 45 minutes without water refill, when we asked for more water he rolled his eyes. When we asked for more sides, he rolled his eyes and gave major attitude. The whole time we dined he pretty much ignored us and avoided eye contact. He also got into an argument with another guest so that just shows he has a major problem with customer service. This place has fell far below expectations. Go to Denny's instead. read more

Amazing food. I got the grilled chicken sandwich and the fries and everything else was great. My friend ordered some steak tips and they we're tender, juicy and very delicious. No complaints on the food here. The atmosphere and the relaxing ambiance make it a great place to stop for lunch. My only complaint was that the food was very overpriced. Delicious, but it will send you to the poor house. read more

I would not recommend this restaurant to anybody. Sure, you're lounging by the pool at the Fountainbleu hotel, you're hungry and maybe you've had some afternoon cocktails... fine, get some greasy food to coat your stomach and get you to your next meal... but be prepared to pay for that cheap slop. But, if like us, you were visiting Miami and are 007 fans (the opening shot of Goldfinger was filmed there), you stopped at this beautiful hotel to see the grandeur- and it truly is a beautiful place. We wanted a more casual dining experience, so we stopped at La Cote. What a disappointment! We had the asparagus entree and a caesar salad with shrimp- the waiter asked me if I wanted anchovies on it... and since it's a caesar salad I said 'of course!'. Salad came- barely dressed at all, cheap croutons and no anchovies. Getting his attention was a 15 minute ordeal. When I did ask for them, I was brought a small ramekin of something that resembled anchovies but which tasted foul. Bill was $85 for the two dishes and one cocktail (the tip was included). Love Fountainbleu, La Cote... not so much read more

Can't complain.. Decent food, great view, great setting etc.. Overpriced food.. Drinks were very well made.. And you paid for that quality (as is typical in Miami Beach). Burrata and Heirloom salad was very good.. Although could have used more balsamic on the arugula. Overall a good experience. read more

If you are willing to deal with some heat, sit upstairs and take advantage of Miami Spice + great service + an unparalleled view. Go in casual clothes and take a walk down the beautiful boardwalk in this area while you are on property. Took advantage of the Miami Spice lunch option ($23 for three courses, plus $15 validated car parking), which is a fantastic deal, given how much the food here usually costs. Although we did not realize that there were no indoor areas to sit, and everything is outdoors right by the pool, it was tolerable given the fans and the mist from the ceiling. On Sunday, they had a live DJ and saxophone player, which were really fun. Do sit upstairs if possible, though, to take advantage of the amazing view. We tried the flatbread (substituted bacon version for vegetarian), chicken with chickpeas and tomatoes, and both desserts (puff pastry with vanilla gelato and hot chocolate sauce + vanilla creme brulee) because they accidentally brought out both, great accident). We also had the hummus ($13, one with peas, one with fava beans, and a generous portion of veggies for dipping). Everything was executed to a T, with generous portions and excellent service. P.S. Carlos, the manager, is incredibly friendly and really willing to do whatever necessary to make your visit an enjoyable one, and he has a wealth of knowledge about the property. read more

I'm a bit in the middle about la côte, food is pretty good they have an amazing avocado toast. The waiters are pretty nice but the servers at the bar have a bit of an attitude when you ask for absolutely anything. Since we stayed at Fontainebleau we ate every meal for 3 days a la côte and the scenery is pretty nice, calm and a nice place by the pool. Nothing special but if you're at Fontainebleau you might as well stop by read more

Food and drinks were great as expected. I had the tuna sandwich and my sister had the crab cakes. Can't go wrong with either. Will definitely be back again for more. read more

La Côte - White Sangria and a Ginger Mint. Both refreshing and tasty. Good amount of alcohol in it as well - Mediterranean Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Its may be a good vibe place but definately not to have a meal. Me and my family of 4 went there to have a lunch. We were shocked by the quality of food we received .Even simple things like fryes and calamari were discussing ,tasted like plastic .We all left this place hungry and disappointed It's big downside for Fountainbleau resort guest. I hope they will do something to change this situation. The waitress was good and polite and it felt like this was not the first time she got complaints regarding the quality of the food. read more

Walked in by accident and ordered the mussles and heirloom tomato salad with avocado. The mussle broth with bread was the best part.

Besides for 95 degree weather, La Côte was the perfect spot to grab lunch. My sister and I spent the day at the Fontainebleau and we were looking for a quick bite before our spa treatments. The downstairs area was where the action was at, loud with music but very lively. We asked to sit upstairs, where we had breathtaking views of the pool, hotel, and ocean. We were running a little bit late, so we informed our server and he made sure that the chef had our food out fast. My sister had a burger and said it was delicious and I had the crab cake sandwich. It was good and wasn't mostly breading like a lot of places make their crab cakes, but mostly crab. They give you these mini ketchup and mustard bottles, which I was struggling to open. The waiter was very attentive and took note of that and the next time he brought the bottles, he opened them up for us first. My only complaint was there were ants eating up my feet under the table. They should really spray under the tables to avoid that. Otherwise, it was a great experience and a great atmosphere. I would return, but probably in the winter, which is like 2 days long in Florida. read more

Went to Le Côte for drinks and a quick bite at around 6:00 on a Saturday. The views and vibe were definitely the best part. Given that it's a nice restaurant in the iconic fontainebleau, I expected better service. I was disappointed that both sangrias I tried to order were out and while the food was plated extremely well the flavor was a little underwhelming. For two drinks (1 cocktail and 1 glass of prosecco) and a grain salad it ended up being 58$. Recommend for drinks and a nice view read more

Nice place to enjoy by the pool the food is good but price and same goes for the drinks. But staff is friendly and ambiance is nice

Food was good but definitely not 2 dollar signs (more expensive than that. Music was nice but biggest turnoff was the hotel. The security for folks were willing to let us walk through the grounds to get to restaurant (which is near pool) but they wouldn't allow us to exit the same way. They insisted that we had to leave through the boardwalk. And we're quite rude about it. Too bad as we thought the hotel looked like it might be a nice place to stay on our next visit but not after that. I wouldn't go to restaurant unless you are prepared to enter and exit through boardwalk. read more

There are a lot of things to say about this place. First of all, location is great and has nice atmosphere. We stayed in Fontainebleau and they located in pool area of hotel which was really good for us. Their service is always good and kindly. And their food is alpha plus! You can try whatever you want because ever single item is delicious. If you go there, don't forget to try their toast and fava bean hummus. read more

I was very impressed with the food. Service was great. I will come back. Octopus was well presented, great flavor and cooked to perfection. The garoupa, very simple presentation, but delicious. Fish and couscous cooked to perfection. I have to say that I did not have high expectations when I seat down, but I was wrong. I will be back. read more

Place has gone down in service. I waited at the bar for a table and the woman behind the bar was kind of rude, but it's Miami (known for bad service). Got sat and the waitress was a little more pleasant. Food was ok and tasted better when I went a few years ago. Menu should go back to what it was. The remodel was nice but not worth the bad service at the bar. read more

I've been to La Cote a few times. The first time there i fell in love with their grilled chicken avocado sandwich and my stomach refuses to get anything else since! Its just so damn good i just have to have at it again! Oh and if its after noon (cough) try a ginger mojito! They're delish!! Aside from the annoying Ed Hardy jumpsuits the waitresses wear I say it'd get 5 stars if they weren't so darn pricey. But its the FB Hotel so if you're there you're spending regardless!! P.S. Try not to get a table too close to the kitchen door. It can get extremely loud! read more
