Pastis Miami: A Culinary Escape into French Sophistication

Pastis is truly one of my favorite French restaurants in Miami! From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. We ordered escargots, onion soup, and duck, and every dish was absolutely delicious, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The escargots were tender and rich, the onion soup was comforting and full of depth, and the duck was simply succulent. The ambiance of the restaurant makes you feel as if you were dining in Paris, with a warm and elegant atmosphere that adds so much to the experience. The service was attentive and welcoming, which made the evening even more enjoyable. I really hope to come back very soon to try more dishes and enjoy this amazing place again!

A charming French restaurant in Miami with a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The escargot was delicious, the foie gras butter was outstanding, and the pasta was perfectly prepared. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. Highly recommend for a comfortable and elegant dining experience.

UPDATE. Pastis reached out in an unusually personal fashion, and we had a good conversation. This is highly unusual. So, leaving original review, but making a note that management is certainly open to suggestions and trying very hard. Which is both impressive and unusual. It should be emphasized that both service and ambiance was outstanding, and food very good. ORIGINAL REVIEW. We know Pastis from NY. Ambiance is nice. Service was excellent. But. They are stingy and cheap. Had the Pasta Bolognese. Didn't have much grated cheese on it, asked for more. $1 surcharge. Also asked for more sauce $3 surcharge. And ofc. No choice tipping. 20% automatic. And then they ask for even more tip!!!! This biz model will die. Additionally crazy garage opposite restaurant charging $20 parking midday on a week day. I live here in Miami. This place has become a complete tourist trap. It's just sad when you feel ripped off. Surprised we were not charged for seats, fork and knife. But that sure is coming. All in all we ended up spending $120 for a simple basic lunch for two, midweek, no drinks. I can afford it, but is it worth it? Ofc not. It's ridiculous.

Fantastic French restaurant in Wynwood, Miami. It had been highly recommended to me by some hard core foodie friends of mine, and went recently to celebrate a friend’s birthday. It was a hit! Every dish was delicious, the flavors delicate yet so tasty, everything cooked just right. I ordered the Chicken Paillard and it was perfectly done, so exquisite. We also ordered the Tuna carpaccio and… Oh, my! My friends ordered Escargot and loved it. The steak and frittes was perfection. For dessert, we had the chocolate mousse. Just delicious! The service was great even though the place was packed. It is pretty pricey, and they do also add the service charge to the bill… I wish Miami restaurants would stop doing that already! Other than that, the place is definitely a gem. The decor and atmosphere transports you to a very romantic place. Love it! Will be back for sure

Dinner was great from start to finish. We had a difficult group of 12 and the server Ricardo kept up with us with no issues and mess ups on all our customizations, he held up with our table the whole night and did an amazing job. All the food was good with no complaints , would definitely come back

First time here… found this by chance while looking for a nice birthday brunch in Wynwood. We’ve been to France multiple times in the last few years - from Paris to Provence and in between - and this meal was spectacular. The standout dish was the tuna carpaccio - that lemon vinaigrette with shallots, chives and olive oil was glorious. I had been wanting to try leeks vinaigrette for a while, and these were delicious. Although I’m not an avid foie gras fan, this one was delicious and paired with the fig jam and brioche wedges - perfection. The steak sandwich and onion soup were also amazing, wasn’t a big fan of the crispy artichoke, but it wasn’t bad, per se. This sticky toffee pudding was better than what we’ve had in the UK, just saying. To top it off with the mango drink, was perfect. Our waiter Gianni was also great - his recommendations were on point. Will definitely be returning soon.

Pastis Miami delivered an extraordinary dining experience. We went for dinner and every part of the evening felt thoughtful and well executed — from the service to the quality of the food. We enjoyed the grilled branzino, chicken paillard, sardines en conserve, and finished with a beautiful tart au citron. Everything was flavorful, balanced, and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere captures the charm of a classic French bistro while still feeling vibrant and modern. This is definitely a place worth returning to, whether for dinner, drinks, or another occasion at a different time of day. Pastis has quickly become one of those spots in Miami you look forward to visiting again.

Pastis is always a safe bet for any occasion, I’ve been a few times over the past year and I always have a great meal and time. On this opportunity we enjoyed a few appetizers such as the crispy artichokes with the best garlic aioli, the Foie Gras Parfait (words are shot to describe how good it is), the tuna carpaccio (very fresh and tasteful), and the steaming hot escargots (best in town). And for the main course the Skirt Steak Frites, nothing can go wrong when butter and fries come with your steak :)!
