Florie's by Mauro Colagreco

The World's Most Decorated Chef Comes to Florida

Mauro Colagreco is not a name that requires qualification. The Argentine-born chef transformed Mirazur, his restaurant in Menton on the French Riviera, into one of the most celebrated restaurants on earth — three Michelin stars and, in 2019, the top position in the World's 50 Best Restaurants. When he opened his first American restaurant at the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, the culinary world took notice.

Florie's occupies the Four Seasons' oceanfront position on South Ocean Boulevard with a confidence earned by its chef's biography. The dining room looks directly at the Atlantic. The kitchen employs live-fire cooking as its central technique. The menu draws on Florida's agricultural abundance and the Mediterranean traditions Colagreco has spent his career refining. The result is cooking of unusual intelligence — dishes that feel both inevitable and surprising in equal measure.

The signature oxtail ravioli arrives with delicate house-made pasta, melt-in-the-mouth braised filling, and a sauce of such precision that it exposes how rarely this technique is executed at this level. The sustainable sourcing philosophy that defines Mirazur is fully present here — Colagreco's kitchen works with Florida farms and the coastal waters with the same seasonal attentiveness he applies in France.

Atmosphere and Setting

The Four Seasons building is one of Palm Beach's most elegant properties, and Florie's interior reflects this context. The room is luminous without being bright, sophisticated without formality, intimate in the way that only a well-proportioned space can be. Service is trained to the Four Seasons standard — warm, knowledgeable, perfectly paced — and the kitchen's relationship with the front of house creates a choreography that supports rather than interrupts the dining experience.

Outside, the terrace faces the ocean directly. On the right evening, the combination of Atlantic horizon, Colagreco's cooking, and Four Seasons service creates an experience that justifies the price without argument. Rated 4.8 out of 5 by nearly 700 OpenTable diners — an unusually consistent score for a restaurant at this price point.

Who This Restaurant Is For

Florie's is the proposal restaurant in Palm Beach. The ocean view, the chef's credentials, the hotel's impeccable service, the overall staging — every element aligns toward making the person across the table feel that this moment was worth crossing the world for. It is equally the first impression restaurant for the executive who wants a client to understand immediately what kind of company they keep. This is how serious people dine when the stakes match the setting.
