LPM Restaurant and Bar
One of Nice's most well-known eateries has relocated to Brickell, bringing with it all of its French flare and well-liked Niçoise food. If you've been to the original, you'll recognize the delicious tomatini cocktail (a must!) and the ripe tomatoes placed on the table, which, for those who are unfamiliar, are there for you to slice into and eat with a piece of baguette brought to you by a lovely server carrying a basket of fresh bread. The next course is a combination of shellfish and fish prepared carpaccio-style, grilling, pan-frying, and en papillote.
Before you get to the heavy potato gratin (worth every calorie it contains) and the french fries, which are possibly the greatest you'll ever eat, the majority of the meals are light and Mediterranean-inspired. Before they get to your table, these time-consuming potatoes undergo a day's worth of soaking, baking, and frying. The cheesecake, which is likewise shockingly light and unlike any other you've tried before, comes in second on the list of menu standouts.
- What is it? This enchanting import from London draws on the Mediterranean for inspiration, serving a medley of seafood plates alongside a smattering of Provençal dishes you might find on the French Riviera.
- Why we love it? Try the escargot, the whole sea bream baked en papillote and the french fries, which are made with as much care as the entrées. In fact, the spuds cook for hours, going from boiling pot to fryer to oven.
- Time Out tip: The fresh tomato and bread service will catch you off guard if it’s your first time dining at LPM, but don’t be afraid grab a knife and slice right in.
