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
La Dorada Restaurant
Lorenzo Pizza Kitchen
Miss Saigon Bistro

Pasion del Cielo Coffee
Rice Mediterranean Kitchen
Spritz Pizzeria of Coral Gables Restaurant
