Coconut Grove
The neighborhood of Cocount Grove offers lots of places to eat, happy hour deals, and a beatiful area to walk about close to the bay. Recommended places to grab breakfast or brunch are El Bagel, Calisto Cafe, Greenstreet Cafe, and Chug’s Diner. For dinner, you can try Narbona, Le Bouchon du Grove, Amal, Meraki Greek Bistro, or Jaguar. Those are some of our favorites, but there are a lot of highly rated options!
