Almond Palm Beach’s outdoor space makes for optimal alfresco dining.
Palm Beach County’s restaurant scene is abuzz. Here are the places we can’t get enough of.
ALMOND
Know your farmer and food at Almond, whose market-driven menu is reaching new rooms in 2023. Rain or shine—with the addition of a retractable roof—its state-of-the-art private area extension hosts up to 180 guests amid luscious greenery, whatever the occasion or celebration. Hot off the heels of the restaurant’s notable New Year’s Eve celebration, guests are invited to drink, sing and dance the night away at Via Sunset, Almond’s vibrant nightlife destination. 207 Royal Poinciana Way, Palm Beach, almondrestaurant.com, @viasunsetpb
The Restaurant at the Norton Museum of Art’s new menu includes a toothsome citrus salad
AMAR BAKERY
A bakery so nice, they opened it twice—Delray Beach looks sweeter than ever with the opening of the second-ever Amar Bakery. The younger and laid-back little sister of Amar Bistro, this Atlantic Avenue sweet shop features Amar’s famous assortment of bread, pastries, sandwiches and flatbreads and sugary confections. Savor and flavor the moment with its famous Lebanese dessert, kanafeh, filled with cheese, drizzled with rosewater syrup and sprinkled with pistachios and dry roses. We’re here for it. 526 E. Atlantic Ave., Delray Beach, amar-bakery.com
Galley provides an intimate wine-tasting experience
BEACON
2023 prompted a flavor makeover at Beacon, whose kitchen has upgraded its American fare game with three additional toothsome menus. Executive chef Jordan Lerman provides diners with a taste of international cuisines, whether ordering the Thai chile crispy shrimp or the Italian-inspired lobster bucatini from the coastal chophouse menu. Good things always come in threes, and the sunset menu provides diners with a trifecta of land- and sea-inspired courses. Save room for dessert—executive pastry chef Jennifer Woo’s decadent tropical creme brulee and Dark Forest mousse satisfy every sugary craving. 1107 Love St, Jupiter, thebeaconjupiter.com
