The Modern Rose
This place blows me away every time. The presentation and quality are 100% consistent on a daily basis. The food is amazing and they keep coming up with ways to turn it up a notch. I love their paninis, avocado toast, and nearly every specialty drink.
Al Natour
This place is one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants around. The food is authentic and absolutely amazing. I come here often and am never disappointed. Some of my favorites are the chicken kabob with spicy Basmati rice and their falafel.
Bear's Food Shack
This is a great little local spot with quality food and a great atmosphere. I love their breakfast wraps, which are available all day, as well as their Terri-sun bowl and Mediterranean bowl.
The Pickle Barrel
The Pickle Barrel definitely takes the cake for best NY deli in South Florida. Awesome food, great customer service, and they're always playing good music. Their sandwiches don't skimp on the meat, either. Their pastrami is one of my favorites.
Basilic Vietnamese Grill
This is the place to go for Pho. Quality ingredients, beautifully balanced flavors, and a killer vibe that'll put your mind at ease. I usually go with the steak pho cooked rare
Taj Indian
To me, it is hard to find good Indian food in South Florida, but this place really does it well. Their sauces have just the right amount of heat to keep you coming back for more. The chicken Vindaloo is my favorite.
Maryland Fried Chicken
If you like hole-in-the-wall places, the Maryland Fried Chicken is the place to go. Most people would drive right by, but for me it's all the more reason to stop. There isn't much here, but the fried chicken is amazing.
Ramen Lab Eatery
Ramen Lab Eatery is hands down one of the best noodle places around. I get the beef short rib every time, and the flavors still blow my mind.
Pho Lavie
The Pho at this place is excellent. I also love the spring rolls. Definitely a go-to place when you're craving Pho.
Sweets Sensational Cuisine and Catering
Sweets in Delray Beach is a great place if you're looking for Caribbean influence or Jamaican style jerk chicken. I love the jerk chicken and the curry chicken. Make sure to snag a patty on the way out for the ride home.
The Alchemist
This place is absolutely amazing. It's a small coffee shop tucked away off the beaten path. They have excellent food and their coffee is out of this world. It's also within walking distance of a cool little art market. I come here often and am never disappointed. Some of my usuals include the farmer's breakfast and pepperoni pizza.
Chi-Town
One of the best "true Chicago" places in South Florida. It's a small little hole-in-the-wall that will blow your mind. Definitely one of the biggest cheesesteaks around. I have tried multiple things here and they're all good. The cheesesteak is my absolute favorite. But I also love the Chicago dog, fried salami sandwich, classic chili dog, pulled pork sandwich, and the chicken parm sandwich.
Sweetwater
The atmosphere at Sweetwater is unbeatable, and their food and drinks are amazing. Everything is top-notch with unique flavor combinations to keep you coming back. You gotta try the duck empanadas.
Calypso Restaurant
When it comes to Caribbean style food, this place is one of the best. I love the conch fritters that are filled with conch, and allow the conch to shine through with subtle flavors that compliment one another. The stamp and go fish cakes are also impressive, as well as the smoked fish dip. Other favorites include the jerk chicken cutter and current chicken. This place is amazing.
