Best restaurants in Delray Beach
Brule Bistro
200 NE 2nd Ave, FL, 33444
Head to the funky Pineapple Grove Arts District for this gem of a restaurant. Enjoy the relaxed vibe as seasonal dishes come forth from the open kitchen. The fried chicken and waffles from the brunch menu is as good a rendition as you’ll find, while dinner might serve up charcoal octopus, followed by lobster Bolognese.
Dada
52 N Swinton Ave, FL, 33444
As lovely as the building that houses Dada is – it dates from the 1920’s – try and bag an al fresco table here. Lantern lights strung between banyan trees provide the perfect ambience to experience seared tuna, pork belly burnt ends and jalapeno-agave glazed salmon. There’s also live entertainment every night, ranging from open mics to classic movies.
Caffe Luna Rosa
34 S Ocean Blvd, FL, 33483
Another place with lovely outdoor seating, Caffe Luna Rosa is a stone’s throw from the beach and a great lunchtime option. Choose from a range of tempting eggs benedict specials, including jumbo lump crab meat and blackened shrimp. The brunch classics of French toast and pancakes make way for Italian dinner classics as the day progresses.
What to do in Delray Beach
Delray Beach
Delray Beach, FL, 33444
Undoubtedly the city’s main attraction, Delray Beach stretches for two miles and is renowned for its cleanliness, safety and management. Against a backdrop of cafes and bars, the soft sand and inviting waves provide everything you need for a relaxing vacation. If you want somewhere to change or escape from the sun, cabanas are available for rental.
Cornell Art Museum
51 N Swinton Ave, FL, 33444
Sat in Old School Square in a restored 1913 building, the Cornell puts it focus on contemporary art with a local emphasis. Providing a place for local artists to work and display, it has numerous events, pop-ups and exhibits. There are numerous independent galleries all within moments of the Cornell too.
Old School Square Park
96 NE 2nd Avenue, FL, 33444
This park is the hub for many of Delray Beach’s liveliest events. It’s in Pineapple Grove and, while it’s a serene place with a small playground for kids, it really comes into its own on Saturdays when the Green Market arrives. It’s the place to be to shop local crafts and produce – in May, park up the car and join the fundraising fun at the annual Craft Beer Fest.
