Best Restaurants in South FL

South Florida is home to some of the Sunshine State’s best restaurants. While the area might be famous for seafood, the food landscape here is more diverse than you might expect. Here’s a rundown of the best Florida restaurants out there. 

Cut 432

If you’re looking for a classic steakhouse in the Miami area, Cut 432 might be it. It offers “the best steaks in town” but also caters to diners who want American classics, such as pork chops, ribs, rack of lamb, and chicken. It also has options for vegetarians.

 

As for drinks, you can look forward to a diverse selection of wines and spirits from around the world. Cut 432 prioritizes distillers, brewers, and winemakers who focus on quality ingredients rather than sales volumes. 

 

Tramonti

 

Those looking for a stunning restaurant on Atlantic Avenue, Delray, might want to check out Tramonti. This unique Italian establishment is well-known throughout the community for its luxurious and sophisticated dishes and is well-respected by experienced fine-dining professionals. Chefs at the restaurant regularly develop new signature offerings, inspired by Italy, but with a distinct Floridian twist. The establishment is well worth checking out for its signature cocktails, elegant décor, and extensive wine list. 

 

Meat Market

 

Meat Market in Palm Beach might have a common-as-muck name, but this is one of the most exclusive restaurants in all of Miami. The establishment serves “reserved cuts”, including a 7-ounce wagyu filet mignon and a 30-ounce wagyu beef tomahawk ribeye, as well as house creations, including American-style Kobe meatloaf, and wood-grilled churrasco. 

 

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the restaurant is The Lounge. This exclusive after-dinner experience lets you extend your night instead of having to go hunting for a bar. Reservations include a dedicated cocktail waitress, a private pod, and additional food served throughout the evening. 

 

Malbec Grill

 

For diners looking to eat in Boca Raton, Malbec Grill is a great option. Influenced by Argentine and Latin American passion, this steakhouse offers something a little different from your run-of-the-mill American diner. The setting itself is stunning, thanks to its romantic ambiance, and thanks to management’s focus on sourcing quality ingredients, so is the food. 

 

The standout feature of the eatery, though, is its wine list, “an essential backdrop to [its] menu.” Here, diners can find a selection of fine wines, including the legendary Malbec. Other menu options include authentic pasta, innovative salads, seafood, and handmade empanadas. 

 

Stiltsville Fish Bar

Stiltsville Fish Bar is arguably one of the best restaurants in South Beach. This little gem, located in the bustling heart of Sunset Harbor, offers a classic, relaxed dining experience while simultaneously offering guests delicious food. Lunch, brunch, and dinner menus are all available. Chow down on caviar-deviled eggs, Stiltsville’s very own tackle box (with shrimp cocktail, lobster salad, and tuna ceviche), or indulge in one of its “large plates,” such as its surf n’ turf burger or slightly more adventurous, grilled octopus. 

 

In summary, if you’re looking to move to an area with great places to dine, this is it.
