Coconut Grove | Miami, Florida | Where to Eat | Best Restaurants | Kush | Lulu | Havana Harry's

In February 2021 we spent a long weekend visiting Southern Florida and stayed in Coconut Grove. Coconut Grove is an upscale, bustling neighborhood in South Miami filled with shops and spectacular restaurants. We ate at Kush by Spillover, Lulu, Le Pain Quotidien, Panther Coffee, and Havana Harry's just outside of Coconut Grove. We also ventured a little further from Coconut Grove to grab some authentic Cuban quick-bites that better fit our travel plans and schedule. Those included Breadman and El Palacio de los Jugos. We stayed across from Peacock Park at Hotel Arya. This was a great central location for our weekend dining and adventures.
Coconut Grove, or more simply known as The Grove, is the oldest neighborhood in Miami. Locals take pride in it also being one of the greenest and friendliest neighborhoods. Dogs and their owners can be found roaming the streets. And the area is home to many open air restaurants, streetside cafes, and waterfront diners. In non-pandemic times, the Grove can be a center of nightlife frequented by locals, young professionals, tourists, and students from the nearby universities. Shopping, however, is always abundant with open-air malls, street shops and boutiques. For our long weekend, this was a great choice for a home base as we took excursions to the Everglades and the Keys.

    Thanks for the walk down memory lane y'all. I feel spoiled living in the Grove for many years. Nice to see some of the changes since I moved away.

    We see why it is your favorite. The food. The outdoor activities. The nightlife. We only passed through Coral Gables. Will need to spend more time there in the future. Thanks for your comments...

    I ran into Shaq when he played for Miami Heat. Btw the reddish/orange building (next to hotel Aria)is call the Mutiny. It was in the movie ScarFace, if I’m not mistaken

    Running into Shaq would be surreal. I did not know that about the Mutiny. The area seems like it’s out of a movie, though. I appreciate the comment and insight.

    Grouper is the best fish meat Ever!❤

    Grouper indeed is a great fish, but it can be expensive. The local Red Snapper is great, too, but it can be just as costly. If you splurge, however, there is no question that South Florida is a great place to get these fish - nice and fresh! Love that grouper!

    Kush? Absolutely! I still have dreams about those drinks with the ceviche and grouper. Loved it.

    What place has the big portions? That definitely make it difficult to make a happy plate. ;-)
