Avenue 31 Café

Avenue 31 Café brings a Monte Carlo sensibility to the second level of Bal Harbour Shops, pairing an elegant glass pastry display with a full Italian menu that runs from breakfast through dinner. The all-day menu spans kale salad, spicy rigatoni burrata, tuna tartare, filet mignon, and pinsa romana (Roman-style gourmet pizza), alongside a wine list by the glass and bottle.

Two covered terraces total 80 seats, done up with a bronze canopy, white tables, wood chairs, and blue-and-white pillows that extend the same palette indoors and out. The vibe leans upscale yet casual and quiet, making it equally suited to a quick cappuccino and croissant or a leisurely sit-down lunch.

Reviews frequently single out the attentive table service, the pastry case, and dishes like the ham burrata truffle focaccia and branzino. Prices run moderate to upscale for Bal Harbour, and the café draws a mix of locals, shoppers, and tourists exploring the luxury retail complex.

Founded by Stefano Frittella and Alexa Carcelli as an extension of their original Monte Carlo location.
