A local guide to the best restaurants in Coral Gables, from Spanish tapas and steakhouses to Italian classics and specialty coffee at GROU.
Coral Gables is one of Miami's best places to eat, a walkable grid of Spanish tapas, Italian classics, steakhouses, and specialty coffee wrapped around Miracle Mile and Giralda Plaza. This local guide rounds up the best restaurants in Coral Gables right now, whether you want a power lunch, a long dinner, or the kind of laid back breakfast that turns into an afternoon of work.
GROU Coffee + Cowork
Start where the neighborhood starts its day. GROU is a specialty coffee shop, brunch spot, and coworking space in the Merrick Park district at 4100 Salzedo St. Come for matcha, cold brew, and a whipped honey oat latte, stay for Healthy Arepas, paninis, and no added sugar acai bowls, then post up with your laptop in the cafe or book a private office. See the full menu, plan a catering order, or reserve a desk at GROU Cowork. Best for: breakfast, brunch, working lunches, and coffee.
Caffe Abbracci
A Coral Gables institution on Aragon Avenue, Caffe Abbracci has served Northern Italian classics to a power crowd for decades. Order the handmade ravioli or the veal chop and settle in for a proper night out.
Eating House
Chef Giorgio Rapicavoli's playful New American room on Giralda Avenue serves up Miami on a plate, from a rotating tasting menu to the cult Cap'n Crunch pancakes. It is one of the most creative kitchens in the Gables.
Bulla Gastrobar
The original Bulla on Ponce de Leon Boulevard is where Coral Gables goes for Spanish tapas, croquetas, and gin tonics. Loud, social, and always busy at happy hour, which we cover in our Coral Gables happy hour guide.
Talavera Cocina Mexicana
Upscale Mexican on Ponce with cherry wood grilled prime meats and a list of more than 300 tequilas and mezcales. Come for a celebration or a long weekday lunch.
Graziano's
An Argentine parrilla on Giralda Plaza built around the wood fired grill. Share a parrillada of churrasco and short rib, start with empanadas, and dig into the deep Argentine wine list.
Fritz and Franz Bierhaus
A 25 year Gables fixture on Merrick Way serving Wiener schnitzel, bratwurst platters, and liter steins of German beer. As fun for a group as it is for a game day.
Threefold Cafe
The Australian cafe that helped put Giralda Plaza on the brunch map, known for Melbourne style flat whites, avocado toast, and ricotta hotcakes. See it again in our best lunch in Coral Gables roundup.
Doc B's Restaurant + Bar
An easy, all day American spot on Miracle Mile with rotisserie chicken, a famous kale crunch salad, and a big brunch. Reliable for families and groups.
Christy's
A clubby Coral Gables steakhouse since 1978 on Ponce de Leon Boulevard, where aged prime rib arrives with the legendary Caesar salad. Old school in the best way.
Pastor at Pascal
The refreshed Ponce classic, formerly Pascal's on Ponce, leans French and Basque, with a Gruyere souffle, duck confit, and now Basque octopus from chef Alberto Pastor.
CVI.CHE 105
Chef Juan Chipoco's Peruvian room on Palermo Avenue turns out bright leche de tigre ceviches and Nikkei plates in a gilded dining room. Great for a lively dinner.
Cafe Demetrio
Coral Gables' original 1997 coffeehouse on Alhambra Circle, with espresso, pastries, and a leafy patio. A quieter, old Gables counterpoint to the busy Mile.
