About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Le Zoo is a staple establishment with truly great French bistro food, charming ambiance, exceptional service, and a very fairly priced wine list. The bar tender makes the best martini’s and has a perfect dry sense of humor. The fish is super fresh. The steak frite is right out of a brasserie in Paris with the best crispy French fries, and the desserts are sublime. What else would you want after an exhausting day of shopping.

    1st visit and probably the last! After being seated I waited 10 minutes before asking a random waiter for service! No acknowledgement whatsoever. I was going to wait five more minutes before walking out. I could easily say it was because I am a black person.

    Greetings Martha, Thank you for taking your time to submit your recent review. I was the manager on duty while you dined with us this afternoon, please accept my personal apologies for the lack of service. Please know that the service was delay was an accident a result of a server being overwhelmed and ultimately needing assistance and there was no malice or ill intent. I will be personally reaching out to you to discuss the experience and the specifics. I do hope you will allow me the opportunity to discuss your dining experience at Le Zoo. We appreciate the opportunity to learn and grow from our mistakes. Best Regards, Justin Maas
