Top 10 Restaurants in Palm Beach

01

Konro

West Palm Beach  |  Michelin 1 Star  |  $$$$

Palm Beach County made culinary history in 2025 when Chef Jacob Bickelhaupt's 10-seat counter became the region's first Michelin-starred restaurant. The format is non-negotiable — a single seating Wednesday through Saturday, $390 per person, 10 to 14 courses of breathtaking invention. Japanese ingredients, old-world French technique, black walnut walls, and Roman clay ceilings create a dining experience that has no peer within 100 miles. Book eight to ten weeks out and consider yourself fortunate to get in.

02

Florie's by Mauro Colagreco

Four Seasons Resort  |  Mediterranean  |  $$$$

The first American outpost of Mauro Colagreco — the Argentine-born chef who transformed Mirazur in Menton into a three-Michelin-starred, World's 50 Best number-one restaurant. Florie's brings his live-fire Mediterranean philosophy to the Four Seasons' oceanfront setting, where sustainably sourced Florida produce meets the flavours of the Ligurian coast. The result is among the most accomplished hotel dining in Florida, with an ocean view that completes the composition.

03

Cafe Boulud Palm Beach

Brazilian Court Hotel  |  French-American  |  $$$$

Since 2003, Cafe Boulud has occupied the most coveted dining position in the Brazilian Court — a lush courtyard where alfresco dinner feels like a private event in someone's extraordinary garden. Daniel Boulud's French-American brasserie formula earns Forbes Travel Guide four stars here, with Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence ensuring the cellar matches the kitchen's ambition. Few restaurants in America have maintained this standard this consistently for this long.

04

Buccan

350 S County Rd  |  New American  |  $$$

James Beard Award-nominated Chef Clay Conley opened Buccan in 2011 and created the island's defining contemporary restaurant. The model is deceptively simple: a rotating parade of small plates built from premium ingredients, executed with the precision of formal fine dining but served in a casually sophisticated room that knows exactly who it is. Sweet Corn Agnolotti, Short Rib Empanadas, Tuna Crisps — the menu changes but the creativity never wavers. Reservations require planning weeks in advance.

05

Renato's

87 Via Mizner, Worth Ave  |  Italian  |  $$$$

The Italian courtyard on Via Mizner has been the most romantic dining address in Palm Beach since 1992. Architect Addison Mizner's Mediterranean Revival design does more for the atmosphere than any interior designer could — stone arches, trailing bougainvillea, candlelit tables tucked into corners that feel designed for secrets. The cuisine is accomplished Northern Italian, but you come for the setting as much as the food. Countless proposals have been made at these tables, and not one has been inappropriate.

06

Flagler Steakhouse at The Breakers

The Breakers Resort  |  American Steakhouse  |  $$$$

Henry Morrison Flagler's resort has always been the physical embodiment of Palm Beach aspiration, and his namesake steakhouse delivers on that promise. The dining room — beamed ceilings, wood furnishings, chandeliers — is one of the most beautiful in Florida. The veranda overlooks the championship golf course. The beef is exceptional. But it is the address itself that carries the most weight at a business dinner.

07

La Goulue

Palm Beach  |  French Bistro  |  $$$

The original La Goulue opened in New York in 1972 and became one of the Upper East Side's defining social institutions. Its Palm Beach reincarnation brings that same bistro-chic energy south, led by executive chef Gwen Le Pape. The soufflé — the classic cheese version from the original menu — remains the signature. The room has the particular energy of a restaurant that knows it is somewhere.

08

Le Bilboquet

Worth Avenue  |  French Bistro  |  $$$

Another New York transplant that arrived in Palm Beach with its pedigree intact. The oak and beechwood bar with its pewter countertop was imported from France; the mid-century mariner aesthetic is pitch-perfect for a barrier island that has always had one eye on the Côte d'Azur. Le Bilboquet is where Palm Beach's social circuit congregates for late drinks and the kind of French classics that have never needed improving.

09

Trevini Ristorante

223 Sunset Ave  |  Italian  |  $$$$

Since opening in 2021, Trevini has set a high standard for white-tablecloth Italian on the island. The kitchen demonstrates a respect for classical technique that newer, trendier establishments rarely achieve — this is Italian cooking that tastes like it emerged from a family kitchen that has been refining the same recipes for three generations. The room is elegant without ostentation, the service professional without formality.

10

Ta-boo

221 Worth Ave  |  American Bistro  |  $$$

Palm Beach's oldest continuously operating restaurant opened in 1941 and has hosted every category of celebrity, socialite, and socialite-adjacent figure the island has produced. The food is accomplished American bistro — not the point. The point is the room, the history, and the particular thrill of dining somewhere that has absorbed 80-plus years of the island's most interesting moments. Some institutions justify their reputation simply by surviving, and some survive because they deserve to.

Dining in Palm Beach — What You Need to Know

Palm Beach is not a city. It is an island of twelve miles by less than a mile, accessible by three causeways and protected by social barriers far more formidable than any gate. The approximately 9,000 people who live here full-time include some of the wealthiest individuals on earth, and the dining scene reflects this concentration of resources with an intensity you find nowhere else in Florida.

The restaurant year follows the social season. From roughly November through April, the island fills with seasonal residents from New York, Boston, and Chicago fleeing winter. During these months, reservations at Buccan, Cafe Boulud, and Renato's require planning two to four weeks in advance. Outside the season — May through October — the same tables become comparatively accessible, though several restaurants close or reduce hours. Plan your visit between December and March for the full Palm Beach experience.

Worth Avenue and the Island Core

The spine of Palm Beach dining runs along Worth Avenue and its radiating vias — the Mediterranean Revival lanes designed by Addison Mizner in the 1920s that give the island its architectural identity. Renato's in Via Mizner, Cafe L'Europe on Worth Avenue itself, Le Bilboquet and La Goulue within steps — the concentration of exceptional restaurants on a stretch of less than half a mile is extraordinary. Walking the avenue before or after dinner is part of the ritual.

The Breakers and Resort Dining

The Breakers Palm Beach, built by Henry Morrison Flagler and opened in 1896, remains the gravitational centre of the island's social life. Its multiple restaurants — Flagler Steakhouse for the power dinner, HMF for cocktails and light bites, Seafood Bar for casual luxury — operate at a standard that smaller establishments struggle to match. A meal at The Breakers is simultaneously a dining experience and a history lesson in American Gilded Age aspiration that somehow still functions perfectly in the present.

Reservations and Practical Intelligence

Book through OpenTable or Resy where available; for Konro, the single seating format means the website is your only option and you must act weeks in advance. Cafe Boulud and Flagler Steakhouse can be reached directly and respond to hotel concierge requests — if you are staying on the island, use this channel. Walk-ins are generally impossible at the top tier during season; possible but not guaranteed at mid-tier restaurants before 6:30pm.

Dress Code and Social Codes

Palm Beach maintains dress standards that have relaxed everywhere else in America but not here. Smart casual is the absolute minimum across the island. Jackets are expected at Flagler Steakhouse and strongly recommended at Cafe Boulud and Renato's. Shorts, flip-flops, and athletic wear are unwelcome at any serious establishment. For Konro, business casual is the expectation and the black-walnut interior will make you glad you dressed appropriately. The island's social codes are relaxed only in the direction of understated elegance — the seasonal residents who set the tone never underdress deliberately.

Tipping and Pricing

Palm Beach operates on standard American tipping customs: 18 to 22 percent is the norm, 25 percent at fine dining establishments for exceptional service. Pre-fixe menus at Konro ($390 per person before beverage pairing) and the wine-led programs at Cafe Boulud and Flagler Steakhouse mean a serious dinner for two will typically run $400 to $700 all-in. Budget accordingly and consider it an investment — the quality of experience at Palm Beach's top tier is among the most accomplished on the Eastern Seaboard.
