I’m not gonna lie. I don’t go to Coconut Grove too much. When I was in high school I used to hang out there all the time. Those were the “Pre-South Beach” days and the Grove was “the” then place to be. But that was 30 years ago and now I live on the beach so needless to say I try to avoid U.S. 1 at all costs! But now there’s a good reason to head South. That reason is Ariete!
Their website says Ariete “offers innovative cuisine in a new-American-meets-New-World way.” That’s website speak for Chef Michael Beltran’s ability to make everything taste soooooo gooooooood! We stopped in for brunch and had Eggs Benedict ($16) on a Gruyere cheese biscuit topped with a Cuban style frita with hollandaise and homemade frita “papitas.” The Carrot Cake Waffles ($12) with cream cheese, cinnamon sugar, and spiced currant syrup were TO DIE and the traditional Bagel & Lox platter ($15) gets a twist with “pastrami” made from salmon and a bagel made with squid ink. Pastry Chef Dallas Wynne takes doughnuts ($7) to the next level with ingredients like sour orange and wood grilled pineapple marmalade. The doughnut offering changes from time to time but just do yourself a flavor and order one.
Ariete is open for dinner and brunch on Saturday AND Sunday. I drive an Audi so when you see me on U.S. 1 headed towards Coconut Grove now you know where I’m headed. Honk your horn and just wave 🙂
