"Start a day of business meetings or sightseeing by fueling up at this popular, buzzing cafe located in the bustling neighborhood of Coconut Grove. Whether you're grabbing a bagel, pastry or croissant to go or you're settling into while away the morning with a full meal and the daily news, this is the perfect choice for locals and tourists alike. GreenStreet offers indoor seating but it's the outdoor tables that are always busiest, often with patrons who bring their furry friends to this dog-friendly establishment."
"Coconut Grove is a haven of outdoor dining, with welcoming sidewalk cafes near the CocoWalk outdoor shopping center. Greenstreet Café is a Coconut Grove institution, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Snag a sidewalk table in the shade and enjoy the bohemian ambiance of The Grove, a historic neighborhood founded in the 1870s by artists, intellectuals and adventurers."
"Not for nothing is GreenStreet Café known as one of the best breakfast places in Miami. Nestled in the heart of Coconut Grove, GreenStreet Café offers outdoor seating and fantastic menu items that are sure to satisfy any taste. Their rotating selection of specialty pancakes, such as cinnamon roll pancakes, are always a hit."
"Lauderdale’s original craft beer bars; it offers by far the most extensive selection. Set up like a hipster lounge, it boasts about 500 beers on display. Founded in 2001, Riverside Market is a self-serve bar allowing patrons to make their selections and pay for them all when they’re done."
"Head to Riverside Market with the family to enjoy good food in a casual atmosphere that encourages perfect strangers to get to know each other. The restaurant has toys for the kids to keep them occupied while the food is cooking, and couches and arm chairs to help the adults relax."
"Although it is primarily known as a romantic setting for a beautiful evening out, Casablanca Cafe is equally as enchanting for a luncheon with friends or for business. This Fort Lauderdale Beach treasure is artfully housed in an authentic two-story Spanish home overlooking the always changing beachfront. The lunch menu is certainly as enticing as their dinner options with Calamari Fritters, delicious Steamed Mussels and Clams or perhaps Escargot with Attitude, which just might also serve as a conversation piece."
"Casablanca Cafe is housed in a charming, historic former residence complete with ocean views. This building dates back to 1927 and is the oldest remaining structure on Fort Lauderdale Beach. Both locals and tourists love Casablanca Cafe’s Mediterranean-American dishes, charming atmosphere with live piano music, and friendly staff."
"Looking for some live piano music or other entertainment with a dining experience with American and Mediterranean specialties?. Give Casablanca a call or check the website for more details. Happy Hour prices are available (Bar Only) from 4 PM until 7 PM on Monday through Friday."
"Proclaiming itself as One Happy Restaurant, Aruba Beach Cafe at One East Commercial Boulevard in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea has a great reputation not only as a restaurant, but a great place to enjoy Happy Hour every weekday (at bars only) Monday-Friday starting at 4 p.m. Picture it: Join your friends for a relaxing drink then enjoy seafood, large fresh salads, pastas and burgers then relax and feel the balmy breezes right off the ocean just steps away, and being in the company of those who enjoy a relaxing. Aruba Beach Cafe has been a favorite among the locals for many years, and they have perfected the art of service over the years, and they are the experts."
"Located right on the beach, the view from this waterfront restaurant so mesmerizing you might get distracted from the food. But Aruba’s offers an array of casual nibbles including fish sandwiches, fried shrimp, and french fries. There’s also a selection of desserts inspired by beach flavors, like the coconut rum cheese cake."
"Java & Jam gives you a perfect Fort Lauderdale downtown experience, filling you up with a caffeine boost and wholesome meal before you begin your day. Photo from Java & Jam via Facebook. If you’re in a rush, Java & Jam’s the place for you."
"If you’re feeling ambitious on your townie cruiser, you can ride north to Bal Harbour or Haulover beaches; natives know these as water-sports havens—and for Bal Harbour’s luxury shopping. Otherwise, drop off your bike along Ocean Drive and grab a spot on the beach, Lummus Beach, which runs from around 6th to 14th streets. This is a beach for locals and tourists alike, and the spread of humanity—supermodels, families and even topless tanners—make this a go-to spot for people-watching."
"In the heart of the Design District is KAIDO, a twist on a Japanese restaurant that shines for its plating. For food that's both beautiful and delicious, this is a great spot, sinc. Environment: prod-sc Request ID: 609bce20-26bb-4c3e-a5f3-66d1ae0e7df0 Machine Name: cdfdb214dcca"
"Dune at Auberge Beach is one of my favorite restaurants because of their amazing food and location!. Here you can soak up oceanfront views since you’re located just steps from the beach. Their food is described as coastal-Latin cuisine with some fabulous multicultural fusions dishes and seafood specialties as well."
"This oceanfront restaurant occupies a bright, airy space inside the posh Auberge Beach Residences & Spa. The restaurant boasts great service, a well-chosen wine list, and pretty views of the Atlantic. Dune's offerings are made with fresh, sustainable ingredients accented by intriguing international influences."
"While the breakfast menu is pretty standard (you can’t go wrong with an omelet, pancakes, or eggs benedict), the view is anything but ordinary. Out on the veranda underneath the palms swaying in the beach breeze, this waterfront restaurant in Fort Lauderdale is the best spot for watching the sunrise. Doors open at a bright and early 7 a.m."
