Two “Can’t Miss” Michelin-Star Restaurants In Coconut Grove

Looking for somewhere to grab dinner (or even brunch) in the Coconut Grove area? You can’t miss these two restaurants along the Commodore Trail that were recently awarded Michelin Stars in 2022. Los Félix and Ariete are two amazing restaurants with their own delicious cuisines and fun energies that should be included in your next debate about what’s for dinner.

Los Félix
Whether it’s 11:00 AM or 6:00 PM, Los Félix has a variety of delicious Mexican dishes that will satisfy your cravings along with a modern, youthful ambiance complete with music from vinyl records. Located just off the Commodore Trail in the Grove Business District, the authentic Mexican dishes at Los Félix are homemade with top-notch ingredients farmed through a sustainable farming technique commonly used throughout Mexico and South America. Both the brunch and the dinner menu include a variety of small plates that change infrequently.

Can’t Miss Dishes at Los Félix
Although the menu changes occasionally, there are a few dishes that you shouldn’t hesitate to order if you can get your hands on them. The Al Pastor Tacos are one of the most popular dishes at Los Félix. They are a perfectly seasoned combination of marinated pork, onions, cilantro, and pineapple that will live in your dreams for weeks after trying them. Los Félix is also well known for their Pork Cheek Carnitas, which are served with homemade tortillas, as well as their Crudo, which is flavored with blood orange and passionfruit. Another can’t miss dish at Los Félix is their Arepa. While this delicious pork belly dish can be split between two people, we recommend ordering enough so that everybody can have their own, because once you take one bite, you won’t want to share.

Ariete
Another 2022 Michelin-Starred restaurant near the Coconut Grove Business District is Ariete. Masterfully curated by Chef Michael Beltran, Ariete is the perfect combination of New American cuisine shaped by Cuban heritage and French technique – a unique combination for a Coconut Grove restaurant. The menu changes seasonally and is made up of a variety of dishes made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Since the menu is subject to change, you will never get bored of this fantastic Coconut Grove spot. Ariete also offers tasting menus so that diners can experience a variety of the best dishes that the restaurant has to offer.

Can’t Miss Dishes at Los Ariete
One of the most popular dishes at Ariete is the Short Rib, which is a fan favorite among patrons. If you are looking for French cuisine with a Miami twist and are a fan of duck, the Foie Gras is an option that comes highly recommended, and there is also a Rohan Duck that can be split between two people. They also have two options for oysters – bone marrow butter and sea urchin butter – that will certainly not disappoint. After finishing off dinner at Ariete, it is vital to try one of their many dessert options, including flan or sorbet (if you’re looking for a lighter option after being stuffed from delicious entrees).
