What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

La Goulue was a French bistro located inside Bal Harbour Shops at 9700 Collins Avenue in Bal Harbour, Florida, serving classic brasserie dishes such as steak frites, French onion soup, and salade nicoise in a Parisian-style dining room. The Bal Harbour location operated as a sister restaurant to the original La Goulue on Madison Avenue in New York, extending that restaurant's French bistro concept to South Florida's dining scene. Bal Harbour Shops, where the restaurant operated, is an open-air luxury retail center on Collins Avenue that has long paired high-end fashion boutiques with sit-down restaurants and cafes for shoppers. According to a Yelp business listing updated in March 2026, the restaurant is marked permanently closed after operating at the mall for a number of years. A separate Foursquare business listing for the same address also shows the location as no longer open, consistent with the Yelp listing.
