The accouterments of a classic brasserie setting are in place: tin ceiling, mosaic-tile floor, wood, mirrors, tightly packed tables topped with white butcher paper, and open French doors leading to a breezy outside patio. The menu mimics that of a real bistro, too, although one with severely limited range. Diners are privy to the standard […]
In a town full of okay Italian restaurants, this handsome Sunny Isles eatery featuring a spacious outdoor patio and cozy dining room with a wood-fired pizza oven is, well, okay. A roasted Portobello mushroom smeared with herbed goat cheese and tricked out with crisp pancetta and balsamic syrup is one of the better dishes. Vitello […]

Cafeteria-style, ready-made fare includes some tasty entrees, such as turkey picadillo, turkey meatballs in tomato sauce, and chicken fricassee. Items change daily; those who live in the neighborhood can have nightly meals planned and delivered every day of the week. Low-fat flan and […]
Hidden in Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades complex, LauderAle is a dog-friendly, kid-friendly and (yes) monkey-friendly brewery with a small-town feel. The beers made here carry Florida-fresh notes of lemon, orange, and pineapple.

Inside a nondescript, squat building, guitar music wafts, political debates sound in Kreyol, and the clink of silverware delving into platters of rich goat and fish stews fills the air. It’s the area’s only […]
Waterside tables, gigantic burgers, and no-BS service make Hollywood’s Le Tub Saloon worthy of repeat visits. Tourists tend to stop by for the GQ– and Oprah-hyped burgers, but they stay for the breezy, open-air bar and the large wooden deck festooned with kitschy South Florida décor and plenty of picnic benches with a view of […]

This cheery homegrown chain filled with pop music and great service isn’t an authentic Mexican border-town taco stand where you can get cow tongue for $2. But it sure is tasty for American Tex-Mex and appropriate for folks who crave a little Southwestern sizzle while counting calories. Try the “Skinny” or “South Beach” burrito ($7.99). […]
You don’t go to Fort Lauderdale’s Lips to eat but to be eaten: The drag queens and divas who patrol the crowd have a sharp eye for a sweet little morsel like you to chew on, so wear your thickest skin. Dinner shows, with a full three-course menu, are at 8:15 or 8:30 Tuesday through […]
