The Grind Coffee Project

This low-key coffee shop has espresso drinks, craft brews, and pastries. There’s even a dark-chocolate-and-balsamic-mocha drink to try, as well as one with Nutella and sriracha.

Guatemala Restaurant

Fort Lauderdale’s Guatemala Restaurant is not the first, second, or 19th place that most people would look for Salvadoran pupusas, but the tiny establishment with just five stools gets them right. Take a forkful of pupusa, a bit of peppery curtido, and a splash of the tangy salsa and you’ll be rewarded with a burst […]

Hardy Park Bistro

After years of planning and traveling the world, former yacht chef and Australian native Philip Darmon opened downtown Fort Lauderdale’s Hardy Park Bistro in November 2013. Here, he serves upscale food in a casual neighborhood environment. Though Darmon has an affinity for the Mediterranean and its cuisine because of his travels throughout the region, his […]

Havana Hideout

Surrounded by tiki torches and a canopy of foliage, directly off of the well-trekked Lake Avenue, Havana Hideout feels more like a relaxed backyard party than a stuffy culinary destination. Sit with the sand in your toes in one of several folding chairs and dig into plates of empanadas seasoned with ground beef, shredded cheese, […]

Havana’s Cuban Cuisine

Havana’s Cuban Cuisine should not be mistaken for Havana, the sister West Palm Beach favorite with the walk-up window. Yet this place, and its sibling in Cooper City that opened in 2010, is no less congenial. A sliding door recedes to usher customers into a room framed by espresso wood, corrugated metal accents, and plate-glass […]

Heart Rock Sushi

There’s something surreally Depression Era about finding anything on a menu that costs one buck, or even two bucks seventy-five. At Heart Rock, rock-bottom prices are the norm, not the exception. Skewers of zucchini, chicken, chicken liver, shrimp, or scallops cost less than $5 each; soups like crab-spinach, mussel-miso, or mixed vegetable come in under […]

Hi-Life Cafe

The name makes one think of a roadside diner, or maybe a neon-lit tavern. Instead, the Hi-Life is haute cuisine by candlelight, possibly the most genuinely romantic restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. Chef Carlos Fernandez, a wildly creative guy to be sure, crafts a dynamic menu that’s almost as fun to read as it is to […]

Hickory Sticks BBQ

Don’t get distracted by the sides at this stylish Fort Lauderdale barbecue joint with its faux distressed-wood paneling and new “old” fa

Himmarshee Public House

For quite some time now, downtown Fort Lauderdale has been known more as a place to drink than as an area to find a good meal. The newly opened Himmarshee Public House is attempting to turn that image around. With innovative cocktails and global comfort food ranging from Mexican tacos to root-beer-glazed spicy lamb ribs […]

Historic Downtowner Saloon

Put it this way: if you moved to Fort Lauderdale, and nobody told you about this place, you need new friends. The historic Downtowner is a Fort Lauderdale institution meeting traditionalist, utilitarian needs: Friday’s the fish fry night, Monday is steak night, Tuesdays it’s ribs, etc. The Sunday brunch stays a longtime favorite draw, crammed […]

Hoffman’s Chocolates

Hoffman’s Chocolates is pleased to announce that it is celebrating National Chocolate Milkshake Day on September 12th by offering store patrons free Chocolate Milkshake Shooters from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Stop by any of the eight participating South Florida locations including Palm Beach Gardens, Greenacres, Lake Worth, Shops at Boca Center in Boca Raton, […]

Hoffman’s Chocolates

Check out Hoffman’s Chocolates’ Fort Lauderdale location for truffles, milk & dark chocolate assortments, double-dipped pretzels, ice cream, milkshakes, caramel apples, and custom orders.

Hollywood Grill

The food of Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan is the adopted food of cookouts, vacations, and a wine- and garlic-fueled night throughout much of the former Soviet Union, so anyone who’s been to the Black Sea (or Brighton Beach) will feel at home at this modest outdoor café on the Broadwalk. Kebabs are at their best […]

Hollywood Prime

Whether it’s the 28-ounce prime porterhouse, the 12-ounce Australian Kobe-style cut, or the eight-ounce cold-water lobster tail, size is everything at this chichi Hollywood beachside steakhouse. A read-through of Hollywood Prime’s menu looks like the exact opposite of eating locally, with steak flown in from Greg Norman’s ranch, lobster by way of South Africa, coffee […]
