A Grand Cafe

Nestled in the heart of Pinecrest, sits The Falls, a shopping mall filled with the latest and greatest of stores and dining options. Nestled on the outer rim of The Falls, sits Bice Grand Cafe.

The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor patio seating. The inside dining room is decorated with warm oranges and reds, while the oustide offers a more airy decor with large blue umbrellas that keep you amazingly cool along with chic orange and brown lounge chairs. I chose outside since Springtime in Miami is the only time in Miami to enjoy the outside and since my boyfriend brought his dog, Brewsky ( yes, dogs are welcome :] ).

The food here is perfection. Bice has taken classic recipes like Bruschetta and Burgers and added thier own twist like balsamic vinegarette and French dressing. For lunch, I decided to try their Chicken Avocado Sandwich, which is grilled chicken breast served on brioche bread (oh so soft!), topped with avocado slices, tomato, lettuce, cheddar cheese, bacon, and aioli sauce. This sandwich was extremely refreshing, suprisingly light, and perfectly balanced!

What sets this Cafe apart from the rest is their attentative service. I never had to ask my server for a refill and our table was always being cleared off. Another great perk about eating here is that right after a meal, you can enjoy some outdoor shopping in the mall. Personally, I couldn't ask for more.

Whether it's for lunch, dinner, or even brunch (served Saturday and Sunday until 3 PM), Bice Grand Cafe is a great place to get a great meal.
