The taste of France that Coral Gables patrons of Le Boudoir restaurant have come to enjoy can now also be enjoyed in downtown Miami. As of July 14, the company expanded its operations to a second location on Southeast 12th Terrace.
The restaurant, known for the authenticity of its cuisine, strives to bring the best tastes of Paris to its guests. Owner Vincent Benoliel imports artisan breads from renowned Parisian bakery Pain Poilane, with which it has an exclusive relationship, foreign soft drinks, teas, and French coffees, as well as a dinner menu that changes nightly, created by chef Alan Dumas, formerly of the Westin Colonnade Hotel. Additionally, the French newspaper Le Figaro is available, one day late due to shipping for guests to read.
The interior of the 1,000-square-foot space is furnished by the Dutch design company Moooi, and features classic yet modern decor including pink leather banquettes, chocolate brown porcelain floors, as well as bathrooms in Italian mosaic. Le Boudoir is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it offers off-site catering as well as custom menu options, and it is available for buyout.
The downtown eatery is the second of an expected three locations, as Benoliel plans to open another in Aventura in October.
