This is a list of restaurants and cafes in Coral Gables, Florida, with the address and the hours each one publishes on its own website. It is not a ranking. We did not copy ratings from review sites, and we do not call any place the best. We read every site on October 20, 2026. Where a place does not publish clear hours, we say check hours.
How we chose
- A Coral Gables address on the restaurant’s own site.
- A working official website that we could read, not a directory listing. Some well-known names are missing because their sites would not load, or no longer belong to the restaurant.
- Independent or locally rooted. We left out national and multi-state chains.
Where a card mentions an opening year, it is the restaurant’s own claim, not a fact we checked: Christy’s says 1978, Caffe Abbracci 1989, Havana Harry’s 1995, The Globe 1997 and Threefold Cafe 2014.

Hours change
Restaurant hours on this page are as each restaurant published them when we checked on October 20, 2026. Holidays, private events and the season change them. Call or check the restaurant’s own site before you go.
What we left off, and why
We looked at more restaurants than we list. Several names on older lists lead to websites that no longer belong to the restaurant, so we could not confirm they are open, and we do not link them. Others would not load, or show no address or hours in their pages. Some are national or multi-state chains. If you run a Coral Gables restaurant and publish your address and hours, tell us.
We did not research outdoor seating, reservations or prices. Ask the restaurant.
Parking for dinner
City garages charge $1.00 per 24 minutes, with an $18.00 daily maximum.

On-street meters are enforced 7 days a week from 9 a.m. to midnight, so dinner on the street is paid parking. Restaurants can validate in Garages 1, 2, 4 and 6; ask your server, since the restaurant buys the validation. More on parking.
