Menu
Classic French dishes anchor the menu — foie gras, beef tartare, truffle ham and macaroni, sole meunière, and crepes suzette flambée. The kitchen leans into traditional French technique rather than a fusion approach.
Hours
Le Basilic is closed Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, and runs 6:00 PM to 2:00 AM Wednesday through Saturday. That evening-only schedule makes it a place to book first, then build the rest of the night around.
Cocktails and terrace
Signature cocktails and a garden terrace round out the evening, supporting the dinner rather than replacing it. Outdoor seating adds a more relaxed dinner atmosphere for guests who want it.
Location
Le Basilic is at 1801 West Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139, in Sunset Harbor. That’s away from the Ocean Drive rush but still close to the South Beach hotel zone.
Who Le Basilic is best for
Le Basilic suits date nights, celebratory dinners, and anyone who wants a more intimate French-style evening than the bigger Miami Beach dining rooms.
