Florida's Gold Coast is full of snowbirds, locals, and everyone in between. Post-pandemic, all South Florida communities are trying to catch up with the new stream of transplants. The roads may be crowded, but no one is complaining about the variety of choices South Floridians now have when dining out. Palm Beach County boasts a culturally diverse culinary scene that, not too long ago, did not exist outside of a few fine dining mainstays. Here are 17 essential restaurants in Palm Beach that are tried-and-trued mainstays within the community.
Featured by Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, chef Tim Lipman and his wife, Jenny, recently combined their wildly popular restaurant Coolinary with their small bites and bar concept, the Parched Pig. Still housed in the same shopping plaza, on the menu, diners can find Parched Pig favorites like the Jenny's Dirty Dip made with sausage, Rotel, and pickled jalapenos alongside Coolinary's popular chicken and jalapeno and cheddar waffles. One of the rare breed of true Florida natives, Lipman brings a much-needed Southern flair to the South Florida dining scene. Peter Tapia and Dahiana Lainfiesta and their father, Pedro Tapia, opened a taco shop in early 2017 in a Palm Beach Gardens shopping plaza. The menu features tacos, burritos, quesadillas, gorditas, and tamales. The barbacoa tacos are a standout while the Mexican street corn served off the cob is a must-try.
