Dreamy New Giralda Plaza
Coral Gables' Giralda Plaza is now a pedestrian-only, lighted and paved strip of restaurants and bars, cafés and boutiques. After months of construction and some frustrating delays, this block, known as Restaurant Row, is a welcome experience of outdoor dining, garden areas and charming pavers, and improved lighting, part of the city's ongoing Streetscape Project.
Debuting Oct. 13 with a street party featuring live music from the Spam Allstars, Giralda Plaza's restaurants and bars will celebrate this stylish new addition to downtown Coral Gables. The lineup includes:
Bangkok Bangkok II
Divino Ceviche
Green Life Organic Bistro
Ikura Sushi Lounge

Pasion del Cielo Coffee
Rice Mediterranean Kitchen
