Here are three affordable options that span the city's main drag as well as the globe. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/649222.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/649222.html Thu, 21 Aug 2008 03:01 EDT Fort Lauderdale beach could soon rival Las Olas Boulevard as a dining destination. There's now a sea of upscale restaurants alongside the remaining T-shirt shops and bars at the one-time spring break mecca. Oceanfront H2O Café is the latest to enter the mix, and it offers both a sleek, hip dining room and a sprawling, laid-back patio with a picture postcard view. It's romantic enough for a date but not too stuffy for the kids. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/649233.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/649233.html Thu, 21 Aug 2008 03:01 EDT Q: Where's a good place to take kids for burgers and fries in Fort Lauderdale? A. When we want to pig out, we head to Five Guys (1818 Cordova Rd., Fort Lauderdale; 954-358-5862). Their burgers are never-frozen, hand-shaped beef patties. The fries are even better: The Idaho potatoes are sliced on site and dropped into peanut oil -- the kids may go for ketchup but you should try them with a splash of malt vinegar. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/640224.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/640224.html Thu, 14 Aug 2008 03:01 EDT Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of. When you walk into a place called Sugar n Spice, you can't help but recite the nursery rhyme. But don't try to get life partners and owners Jean Doherty and Vero Leroux to tell you who's sugar and who's spice. Their personalities merge in the cheerful Fort Lauderdale restaurant and wine bar, former home of Herban Kitchen on Oakland Park Boulevard. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/630634.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/630634.html Thu, 07 Aug 2008 03:01 EDT Many Mediterranean restaurants rely on Italian food to bring in business, but at Mazza there are only two pastas and no falling back on pizza. Lebanese and Greek fare dominate the intriguing menu at the Pembroke Pines restaurant west of Interstate 75. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/622560.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/622560.html Thu, 31 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT A lot of restaurants have come and gone in the past 22 years, but Café Seville has survived -- and thrived. The cozy Fort Lauderdale café was cooking up wonderful Spanish-influenced dishes like rabbit in rosemary sauce, seafood-laden paella and tasty tapas long before we had a sea of ethnic eateries from which to choose. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/622571.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/622571.html Thu, 31 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT Q. We're taking the kids to a Florida Marlins game and don't want to spend a bundle at the concession stands. We're looking for an inexpensive restaurant on University Drive to grab a meal first. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/615806.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/615806.html Fri, 25 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT The most delicious pizza in town is actually made by Brazilians, says Lya Alencar, a big fan of Pizzarella in Hollywood. 'It's a small place, the owners are from Brazil and in my opinion it is the best pizza,' says Alencar, above right, with her husband Steve Joiner and her sister Veronica DiMarzo. 'They have everything for all tastes.' Alencar, a native Brazilian, raves about their margarita pizza and a chicken pie topped with mozzarella and catupiry, 'a kind of cream cheese' that's popular... http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/614189.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/614189.html Thu, 24 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT Go ahead, pile on those sweet sausages. Tired of chicken? Savor a slice, or two, of picanha. And grab a rib while you're at it. And so it goes at the new Fuegovivo Churrascaria, a Brazilian steakhouse in Sunrise. Rodizio-style steakhouses have become so popular, even non-Brazilians know the drill by now. Servers dressed gaucho-style, with pantaloons tucked into sturdy black boots, circulate through the room toting swords piercing juicy slabs of meat cooked over an open fire. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/614165.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/614165.html Thu, 24 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT Q. I have friends who will be coming to visit and they've asked me for a suggestion for a really good Indian restaurant. One of them is a vegetarian. Any suggestions, especially in West Broward? http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/607339.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/607339.html Fri, 18 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT For nearly 20 years, Ed and Kathy D'Alesio have been going 'just around the corner' to their fave restaurant, Antonio's Pizza-Rant in Shenandoah Square in Davie. The couple has been such a fixture at the place that 'very friendly' co-owner Anthony Silvestro Jr. has named D'Alesio's favorite thin and crispy pizza 'Ed's Pizza.' Kathy's favorite is the chicken Francese. 'Another favorite is the shrimp scampi, and the eggplant Parmigiana (well done) is great as are all the... http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/606021.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/606021.html Thu, 17 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT Tired of the same old chains that dominate West Broward strip shopping centers, we went on a hunt for new and creative independents. Even in today's tough economy, we found several restaurants trying to carve out niches in the marketplace. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/598552.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/598552.html Thu, 10 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT Hotel restaurants? We usually dismiss them as boring and predictable. But with a tough economy and the high cost of running a restaurant, more talented toques are cooking in hotel settings. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/598533.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/598533.html Thu, 10 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT Q: I want to take my daughter, who's 14, and a few friends out for dinner for her birthday. They eat pretty much anything, but I want something nicer than a hot dog or hamburger joint. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/590734.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/590734.html Thu, 03 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT We're lazily sipping mango mojitos, dreamily watching sleek white yachts glide by under the moonlight. We feel like we're on vacation, but only the tourists are paying big bucks for this view. It's just another night at Pelican Landing, a little restaurant and bar management calls ``Fort Lauderdale's best-kept secret.'' http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/583629.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/583629.html Fri, 27 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT When Evelyn Kraut is looking for a good, 'tasty' meal and a good value, she heads to Hometown Buffet in Hallandale Beach. It may not be fancy, says Kraut, at left with chief chef Delsio Castello and friend Anita Kippelman, but 'the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, the food is fresh and the menu is large, varied and inviting' -- plus it's 'inexpensive.' Kraut doesn't mind having to stand in the buffet line because 'whether here for lunch or dinner,' she's `never disappointed.' http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/582368.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/582368.html Thu, 26 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT It's The Shops at Pembroke Gardens, but you could almost as easily call it The Restaurants at Pembroke Gardens. Seven of them (with more to come) play a starring role at the new, upscale shopping center near Interstate 75. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/582379.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/582379.html Thu, 26 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT Southwest Broward residents had been traveling 45 to 60 minutes for upscale shopping and dining, according to the real estate research done for Shops at Pembroke Gardens. No wonder locals are packing the array of new restaurants there. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/575635.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/575635.html Fri, 20 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT Yolanda Duarte really is crazy about I Love Calle Ocho & Shop -- she'd eat there every day if she could. 'This is a very small restaurant with a unique menu,' says Duarte. 'I actually get cravings for certain things they have on the menu: the best soups ever, made fresh every day in big pots, like the cream of red bean soup (my favorite), cream of malanga, lentil soup. Fridays they have a seafood soup. They are all good.'' http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/574465.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/restaurants/broward-dining/story/574465.html Thu, 19 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT The house music is thumping. Cosmos are flowing. Beautiful people are mingling at a sleek, icy-blue bar, standing on tile floors inscribed with quotes from explorer Marco Polo. It's a typical Saturday night at China Grill -- in Fort Lauderdale, the latest destination in the hip restaurant dynasty.
