Le Zoo is an energetic celebration of timeless French-Mediterranean flavors. Capturing the coveted common ground between European elegance and effortless South Florida sophistication, the 200-seat restaurant is a special place where gilded Old World decor plays alongside tropical planters and vintage French design touches. The food, drawing deeply from the refined cooking of Provence, is a transporting experience, ranging from the freshest fruits de mer and chic pizzas to pristine carpaccios, tartares and other signatures of Gallic coastal cuisine. Serving lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, Le Zoo brings out Francophile in all of us.

    As long time customers we always enjoy Le Zoo, but the only real negative are the wine prices. I am in the wine business and find it almost offensive to be charged over $100 for Whispering Angel that retails for $22 to $25, and there are other examples of this overpricing on the list.

    Thanks for the review, Lazarus! We're thrilled to hear that you've been with us for many years and continue to enjoy our restaurant. We appreciate your feedback about our wine pricing and we're always looking for ways to improve. We're sorry to hear that our wine list pricing didn't meet your expectations. We'll certainly take your comments into consideration. We hope to welcome you back to Le Zoo soon and provide you with a better experience. Best Regard's, Justin Maas General Manager

    We ordered appetizers and they forgot to bring them. We were 4 people, of the 4 main dishes they only brought 3, my dish arrived when the rest had finished eating. The waitress apologized to us many times, poor organization of the chef. Sad!

    It's sad to know this wonderful place will be closing in March. We had a wonderful lunch; the cucumber soup was divine, and our server incredibly pleasant.

    Excellent food with nice presentation. Service is very good except for one server who reached across me to serve my neighbor. Very much like a real French bistro. Outside was too noisy, more comfortable inside. I would prefer French music like Edith Puaf or Jacques Brel rather than American pop. A bit pricey but very good quality.
