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.

    Justin and his team are exceptional! Best spot in BH, food, cocktails and service off the charts. Hope the rumours of it possibly closing aren’t true.

    Had a reservation & was seated right away in a busy Monday night. Our server was attentive & polite. I do however wish they had something special or at least compted the dessert as I noted during the reservation that it was my Wife’s birthday. Only the hostess acknowledged & said happy birthday to my wife.

    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.
    Le ZooResponded on February 17, 2025
    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

    Le Zoo definitely lived up to its name tonight (no pun intended). Upon arriving there was a mass of people waiting to check in and a very poorly managed system. The Maitre D’ did an excellent job triaging given the appearance of limited help, but it was utter chaos and we waited 30 minutes past our booking for the table. The server also seemed frazzled and overloaded, forgetting we existed and not getting water until 20 minutes after being seated. The food is standard French, like you’d find at any comparable spot in Miami. Paired with a poorly sealed take away bag that leaked and spilled on my white linen pants, it was definitely a memorable evening, however for the wrong reasons. On a weekday it’s definitely great, but on a weekend, save your efforts in battling the masses and head to Pastis or Bouchon Bisto for equally excellent food with a phenomenal service experience.

    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!
