My goodness. Let me just start with that. I ordered take out and all I have to say is BRAVO! This review is based on the food. Got the steak frites and a crepe of butter and sugar. Let me start with the steak frites. I can appreciate the fries weren't thick cut or anything. This was a plus and I'll explain why shortly. That steak was SUPER tender and juicy. Those fries quickly absorbed those flavors. Additionally, they served it with some sauces and let me say I don't really like steak sauces or anything but what they had was just icing on what was already a beautiful cake. The cherry on top was the crepe. Super light, flavor bomb, and frankly I thought I was crazy for thinking butter and sugar was gonna be boring, it was DIVINE. 10/5 will come back read more

Great choice!! THE PLACE: Located in a small Hialeah shopping center, some free parking is available. Inside, the restaurant fully transports you out of the 305 with danity, quirky and cute decor, and cozy lighting. Only tables available. seating inside and out by parking lot. THE FOOD: For starters, we had the cheese, bread and honey dish - 4/5 warm, crunchy, gooey goodness. I also had the French onion soup 5/5, probably the best ive ever had! incredible flavor profile perfectly balanced and salted. For entrees, my husband went with a oxtail with mash dish they had on special that day 1000/5, too bad eating with your hands and licking your plate is frowned upon lol - it deserved that! I had the Pan seared branzino 2/5 - now hear me out - it was five out of five in texture, soft and buttery, and presentation BUT it was cook with SO MUCH BUTTER, that the roof of my mouth & tongue were coated in it and I couldnt tastes anything else! It was so much butter that I felt my lips, tongue and throat irritated. Additionally, im not sure why they didn't pair this dish with a mash or a roasted potatoes, instead of only cooked down spinach. THE SERVICE: Reservations are strongly encouraged - so I made mine with Resy. Through Resy, I confirmed my reservation and had it all in text & email. Upon arrival, their system didnt pull it up. However, the manager (?) was kind, gentle and gracious, sat us at a table. Our waiter was fantastic! So charismatic, and was well versed on all the dishes and how they were made. I believe she said she's been with the team a few years now. From what I understand, a sister restaurant was just opened in Miami Beach, so I hope to be able to give that one a try aswell - maybe for my birthday in two weeks? read more

You would not think a French restaurant exists in Hialeah, but it sure does! This place is adorable, but very small inside and small parking lot. It is so small my mom's wheelchair did not fit in the last room of the restaurant. As soon as you enter you see a cute Eiffel tower and the rest of the restaurant is decorated in French decor. The attention to detail is unreal. We started with the baked vacherin and French onion soup. The soup was not bad. The baked vacherin is melted cheese. In my opinion, this was not worth it. It was $28 for what tasted like melted Brie cheese and it took a very long time to come out. We then ordered the steak frites. This steak was delicious. We talked about it for a few days of how good it was Our drinks were always full and for the most part all our food came out quickly. The service was also not bad. This was my first time coming for dinner. I have been here on two separate occasions for Brunch and have always left satisfied. read more

La Fresa Francesa - Wine Bars Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

This is the spot in Hialeah... hands down. If you haven't been yet, what are you even doing?! I've loved this place for years, and it never misses. Came here for dinner with a friend and honestly... it hits just as hard at night as it does for brunch (which is saying a lot). We went for the special... check the pics... but trust me, it tasted even better than it looks. The food? chef's kiss. The conversation? top tier. The whole night just flowed. It's that kind of place. I'll always keep coming back for that feel-good French-inspired food with a little Cuban twist... it just does something to my soul read more

What a treat to eat at this delicious establishment. You would never guess how cute and authentic the food is inside this restaurant located at a plaza. The inside is decorated with cute vintage looking pieces, and feels like you're transported to a restaurant in Europe. I have to start with dessert because it was one of the best crème brûlée I have ever tasted, the tanginess and zest of the orange, elevated the flavor and texture. We order the steak which was paired with crispy rosemary fries, the steak was absolutely tender and flavorful. As an appetizer, we ordered the baked cheese which had the best cheese pull. The cheese itself was not over powered in flavor , but very subtle and paired nicely with the sweet honey on a toasted baguette. If you're looking for some hidden gem in Miami, you have to visit this French place. Not pictured was the delicious chocolate mousse that was given to us by the owner Sandy, she is so nice and really cares about her customers experience . 10/10 read more

This spot has been popping on my social medias alot recently When a friend suggested we should go. I was excited ! It truly is hidden in Hialeah. The place is tiny with sophisticated charm. It is a French restaurant. Most of the menu is animal based protein. I do not recommend this place for vegetarians. I struggled to find a dish to order. I went with the salmon. The salmon was okay. Nothing extra ordinary. My friends really enjoyed their dishes. The place is definitely a place that is very aesthetic and cozy. It is a great spot for an intimate dinner or a friends catch up. I want to come back for the brunch. Service was excellent very attentative. read more

A lovely little spot in the unlikeliest of places: Hialeah. French inspired vintage thrifted decor: it's a genius way to make the most bang out of your buck when decorating: quirky sweet antiques. The cups and plates are mismatching, the silverware is antique, paper doilies as the placemats, and it's all reminiscent of playing tea party with grandmas old table setting. Food has many familiar French staples but with a twist: its boasts local flavors. A fusion of the best kind, with a Cuba flair. 1. Guava foi gras: sandwiched between pastelito pastry shells, it's topped with Redland guava jam and pistachio. So good you'll want more than one. 10/10 2. Épinards Galette: creamed spinach on buckwheat crepe with egg and duck fat potatoes. A good choice for those who are gluten intolerant. Buckwheat is GF. Not the most exciting of dishes but it's one that those with gluten issues can eat. 8/10 3. Macchiato: served in a sweet floral demitasse that reminds me of the tea set one has as children. 10/10 4. Crèpes Suzette: lovely. Just the right amount of sweetness. Definitely can be shared between two people. 10/10 5. Crème Brûlée: très délicieuse! It's now my new favorite crème brûlée because it has a hint of Orange, but not overwhelmingly so. It was perfection. The downside is that it's too small. 10/10 6. Cafe bonbon: its espresso with condense milk. Can you go wrong with this? 10/10 7. Dessert special of the day: Banoffee Pie. Bananas, whipped cream and tasted like Dulce de leche (original uses toffee, hence the name(. A fun pie. Not exactly French but it tasted good. Took it to go but it fell apart and cream watered down (melted) through the box. 8/10 Overall great experience. Good service. Nice environment. Gets full quickly! It's very popular, understandably. Deducting one star because they spray Lysol cleaning solution on the table cloths to clean between patrons so the smell is very strong and not great for those of us who are allergic to these. Better to add larger doilies and replace those between visitors instead. read more

It has been a while since my last visit to La Fresa Francesa and nothing has changed : great service and delicious food in cozy and intimate setting. I enjoyed everything, from the wine to the friendly service to the last bite I had. One of the things I like from this place is their by the glass wine selection. It's not an extensive one but definitely of great value and quality. I went with the recommendation, a Rioja Reserve, and it was Spain in a glass, nice balance between fruit and tannins, medium body. I couldn't resist and had a second glass. For the appetizers, the foei gras is a must, after all this is a French restaurant. It was so creamy, like butter. The jam is served with complements it so well. I could have only this dish and bread for dinner. Just delicious! I also had the Gnocchi. What I loved from this dish was the smokiness, love it. For the main dishes, duck leg and steak with fries. The duck was perfectly cooked, soft, coming off the bone so nicely. And with the confetti, what an explosion of flavors. The steak was good too, not the best steak I have had but I would give it a 4 out of 5. It was pretty good overall. Can't wait for my next time at La Fresa Francesa to finally try their rabbit. I always end up getting something else. Bon appetite! read more

La Fresa Francesa is like falling into a Parisian fever dream -- but in Hialeah. I came for the escargot and stayed for everything else. The cheese fondue was rich and unapologetic (as it should be), and the duck confit had that perfect fall-off-the-bone texture with crispy skin that made me slow down and savor every bite. The foie gras? Silky, decadent, with just enough toast to mop it up without shame. Escargot came sizzling in butter and garlic, and I didn't even pretend to share. The vibe is French bistro meets local charm -- romantic, loud, slightly chaotic, and absolutely unforgettable. Service was great as well. read more

Food was ok. What upset me is that we ordered more bread for the frau Grau appetizer and they charge $1 for bread. We spent $300 and they charged for bread. Will not be going back. Don't know what the Mayor of Hialeah likes this place so much. Disappointed read more

This is a great restaurant. We've gone several times and it never disappoints. The ambiance is very French! There is soft music playing in the background. Our server, Iris was great! To start we had a guava Bellini and a glass of wine. For our entrees, I ordered the special of the day, which was a short rib with farro risotto and a fried egg-it was outstanding! My husband had the croque madam sandwich with fries and it looked really good. We shared a half French press coffee, a creme brullee and a crepe suzzete- all were delicious! I'd definitely recommend this restaurant. I do suggest that you do make a reservation. read more

Such a wonderful little restaurant. It doesn't look like much from outside - tiny parking lot in a little shopping center in Hialeah. Inside however you will find an adorable restaurant with great service and excellent food. The decor is cozy and feels old timey french. Staff were very welcoming and were helpful and quick when something went wrong with our order. We had a spinach galette and a brie sandwich. Both were excellent, but the galette was a show stopper. Everything down to the potatoes on the side was wonderful. The price was extremely fair, especially for the quality of the experience. I think it was about $40 for two people with tip. A great value for such a cute place and great food. This might be one of my favorite meals I've had in Miami. Do yourself a favor and go enjoy some brunch here! read more

Went on a Sunday afternoon for brunch and had a fantastic brunch experience for a dear friend's birthday. I will preface to say I do not normally venture into Hialeah and the terrible parking lot situation at the restaurant had me to an irritable start but it mostly only got better from there. All the food and drinks we tried were amazing, the service was just a tiny bit lacking. Nothing egregious but our waiter was a bit snappy when we were expressed we wanted separate checks and saw them after that few and far between. The bacon dates were delicious, as was the pear jam and Brie sandwich but the standout was the croque Madame. The pink sangria was good and honestly stronger than it tasted! For dessert we had a few different crepes. Do yourself a favor and get the French butter option. The cafe bonbon was a great choice to finish off the meal. Will definitely be back. read more

La Fresa Francesa is an experience that transports you beyond Hialeah. This authentic restaurant offers a true escape to France. With every dish, from the first bite to the last, I was consistently impressed by the exquisite flavors. My top recommendations are the French onion soup and the chicken vol-au-vent. Each plate strikes the perfect balance of rich, complex flavors without feeling overly complicated. It's an ideal spot for a date night, with a charming, vintage ambiance. The elegant cutlery and tablecloths enhance the French atmosphere, making the dining experience even more memorable. I haven't been this impressed in a long time. You have to check it out read more

What a great find! On a lazy Sunday afternoon, my husband and I found one of our favorite restaurants in Miami or should I say Hialeah. Reservations are helpful but we arrived without one and we were seated quickly. The ambiance was incredible. As you walked through the door, you entered into a world like no other. It felt like you were in a salon in Paris in the 1920s. Our server guided us through the menu. There was so much to pick from and before we knew it, we had ordered the bacon wrapped dates, the ham and cheese complete galette ( it's a buckwheat wrap with ham and cheese with a fried egg) and Le Grand Fresa Burger. The food was amazing! Everything was perfectly seasoned. My husband and I cannot wait to go back. We already know what we want to try on the menu. Maybe we will run into each other. Let's try the Iced Latte again or maybe the Guava Bellini...Yum! read more

This place is 100% a date night, anniversary, or special occasion spot where you want to feel classy. My wife and I shared every plate because we wanted to try as much as possible and we were figuratively fighting for each bite. The baked vacherin was to die for! They serve it with a cute honey dipper, and each bite paired with cheese, honey, and bread is absolute perfection. The French onion soup was also fantastic. I love soups, and this one had a rich, mouthwatering broth, plenty of cheese, and perfectly soaked bread at the bottom. The restaurant itself is super cute, the staff is very friendly, and the experience is absolutely worth it. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends, to make your night even smoother. read more

This little cute and cozy Hialeah restaurant is located in a small strip mall. Parking is limited at times, but there is some street parking too. I've eaten here a few times and the food and service are always very good. Tonight we started with the gnocchi which was like a gnocchi carbonara and was very good. We ordered the scallops with black rice which was excellent and the hanger steak. Unfortunately, the steak was flavorless and was served warm to cool. For dessert we had the salted butter crepe which is simple but delicious. Despite missing the mark with the steak La Fresa Francesa is still a great local spot for French food. read more

Of the 3 desserts I would say the crepe Dulce was the best. read more

La Francesa is a hidden gem in Hialeah. It is located in a shopping center off of okeeckobee road where you would miss it if you didn't intentionally go there. The decor is as French as the name. It is a small place with a lot of character. The food is amazing. No one appetizer or dish we had was better than the other. The service was amazing. I requested a Baileys with dessert and they did not have because they only serve wine and beer and the bartender mixed me a drink that was just what I needed. They were accommodating to our party even though it was busy. I could not recommend this place more. You will be pleasantly surprised. read more

Of all places I have met Owner / Chef Benoit several times in Reno at Belleville. So on a recent pass through Miami I made it a point to stop here to eat. What a great bonus to discover he served brunch on the weekends, so Saturday morning I ventured up to the Hialeah area. I was greeted promptly and offered a seat, which I requested on the small patio out front. It was a gorgeous sunny morning and I wasn't going to was any of it. The brunch menu was fabulous, if I hadn't already had my heart set on a croque madam, it would have been a difficult decision. The fresh bread was layered with thin slices of ham and gruyere cheese and perfectly grilled, then blanketed with a silky gruyere cheese sauce and topped with a farm fresh soft egg. The bonus to sandwich were the duck confit potatoes. Mmmm. Accompanied by a fresh guava mimosa. How much better could the day start than all of this. The staff was fantastic- refilling water, offering another mimosa and clearing the table while I just enjoyed the morning. I can't wait to stop in again on my next pass through Miami. The evening menu looked just as delicious. Great hidden gem read more

My partner and I were looking for a place to eat and really wanted to try something different. To my surprise, we came across La Fresa Francesa which offered what seemed to be a Cuban-French type of menu. When we pulled into the parking lot, we were a bit skeptical, and almost left to go find another place to eat at... however, we were too curious since all the reviews rave about it! So... how bad can it really be? It was amazing and everything we were hoping to taste! We really loved the place! It's very quaint, a truly small restaurant, nothing presumptuous, and we loved it! Everything about it had a very European small mom and pops restaurant feel. The staff seemed to be almost all Cuban, or Spanish, but the flavors were spot on Cuban & French like you wouldn't believe! We appreciated how straight forward the flavors were in each of the dishes we ordered. The presentation was nothing to brag about, just like the location, but the flavors spoke for themselves and made the entire experience really enjoyable. We had a pleasant server who made some great recommendations, and he had the perfect timing with checking in on our tables, just enough to make sure we were attended to, but not too much so we could have our privacy while enjoying our food. I will definitely be coming back! And hoping to check out brunch on the next visit! read more

La Fresa Francesa - Onion Soup - Wine Bars Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

Finding myself cruising L'Arrondisment Okeechobee during petit dejeuner (that's French for brunch) I had a chance to stop by an old favorite, La Fresa Francesa this Sunday morning. It's expanded since that Saturday close to seven years ago, with a cool little patio for outside seating, French art and still some bottles. Sandy and Ben have maintained and grown the first modern restaurant in Hialeah from just a brunch spot to dinner and occasional themed popups such as "PastaLeah" for Italian food (note to self: must stop by for this). Today though, I took a refresher course in their brunch classics. With both their helicopter latte and a Hialeah classic cortadito (in the traditional Cuban coffee cups) providing the caffeine for a busy Sunday of errands, I also savored the guava bellini (with real guava). Packed with fresh arugula, melted brie, a taste of honey and added ham on La Brea bread, the Brie & Pear sandwich is always a must have. The creamy scrambled egg cocotte, with a subtly sharp flavor from cheese and chives is another yummy way to enjoy protein. Do like I did and enjoy a sweet Sunday cheat with their fluffy French Toast (aka torrejas) with blueberries, strawberries and sweet cream. Merci beaucoup for keeping Hialeah yummy!! read more
