LoKal is a hip Coconut Grove restaurant operated by top Miami chef Matthew Kuscher, serving up sustainably-sourced burgers and gastropub fare in an industrial-chic venue. The restaurant, which opened to the public in 2011, is named for the German word for "meeting place" and is the first restaurant within Miami-Dade County to use 100% renewable energy for all of its operations. Locally-sourced and sustainably-produced ingredients are used in all meals, including grass-fed burgers sourced from nearby Fort McCoy Ranch. All of the restaurant's clever burger offerings can be prepared vegan or gluten-free upon request, with many sandwich platters offering inventive beef-free options prepared with chicken, fish, turkey, or vegetarian burgers. A draft beer list highlights unique regional offerings, while a doggie menu allows four-legged friends to dine with their owners.
