When Henry Flagler and his friends came south to Palm Beach, they brought along their high standards and demands for the best of everything, including fine dining. That legacy can still still be found for anyone who takes eating seriously. Palm Beach County has many excellent restaurants to choose from. You can eat at the affordable to the very, very expensive. The range of tastes is considerable, from good old Southern style American to European, Mexican, Asian, and more.

Palm Beach

For old world atmosphere and noted for its caviar bar and high ranking with the locals, be sure to patronize Cafe L'Europe. Another continental dining on Worth Avenue is Taboo. Great Italian fare can be enjoyed at Renato's.

Noted for fresh seafood entrees is Charley's Crab. Looking for a more casual atmosphere? For terrific hamburgers since 1945, Hamburger Heaven is the place to go. For the most expensive restaurant in town, but definitely a four-star meal, it’s the Florentine Dining Room at The Breakers Hotel.

West Palm Beach

Here’s a community that can boast the same excellent quality dining establishments as it’s sister city east of the Intracoastal, offering a variety of ethnic and American restaurants. An Old World style Italian restaurant in this historic part of Palm Beach is the Stresa. For French Mediterranean fare, the
Bellagio offers excellent dining in a romantic atmosphere.

On Saturday mornings, you can enjoy an outdoor street breakfast while buying fresh pastries and vegetables at the GreenMarket in West Palm Beach, a popular weekend pastime. If you’re at the Palm Beach Kennel Club, be sure to dine at the well-regarded Paddock Reataurant.

Lake Worth

A short drive south into this celebrated community also offers delicious fare. Inside the historic Glulfstream Hotel on the Intracoastal Waterway, try Daniel's Lake Avenue Grille, or if you’re on the beach and are ready for breakfast or lunch, the John G's is known for friendly service and good food.

Southern Towns

In Delray Beach, Ellie's 50's Diner has every dish on its menu named after a 1950s song. Also on the beach, you’ll find Boston's on the Beach which serves good food all day long. The Two Georges Waterfront Grille in Boynton Beach has been around for a while. With a delightful tropical setting and great food, it’s popular with the locals.

Boca Raton, one of the fastest growing communities that offers excellent dining and attractions, not to mention beautiful retirement developments, Carmen's Restaurant and Lounge features great steaks and fresh seafood, all with a great ocean view. In Lantana, home of the National Observer tabloid on celebrity news, the Ginger Wok offers an intimate atmosphere and delicious Chinese cuisine

Northern Towns

Communities just north of Palm Beach include Jupiter, made famous by actor Burt Reynolds, as well as Palm Beach Gardens and Riviera Beach, noted for its marinas, sport fishing charters and dive shops. Wellington is home to the Palm Beach Polo Club. Many excellent restaurants in these towns offer dining establishments that equal those in the county’s southern towns. In Palm Beach Gardens, the Abbey Road Grill and Sports Emporium, featuring TV screens everywhere for sports programs, offers great steaks and seafood.

Palm Beach and its neighboring cities offer a myriad of great places to eat for any time of the day. Depending on what activity you may be pursuing, whether it’s a day of shopping on Worth Avenue, playing gold at one of the 147 courses in the county, or dressed to kill for a memorable night on the town, you’ll find just the perfect restaurant, café, bistro, or diner to make your day complete. The choices are many and the decision may be a tough one, but no matter which you decide, the atmosphere of Palm Beach and its impeccable taste sets the standard.
