Although other Irish bars may stay slightly truer to the Irish Pub image — Waxy O’Connor’s and the Field spring immediately to mind — Maguires, which is owned by an Irish family, still retains a huge helping of mementos and scenery from the Auld Sod. With numerous “Best Of” awards under its belt, this cozy, […]

The Mai-Kai is easy to love. It’s not that its oversized tiki cocktails and Lobster Tahitienne are anything to write home about. It’s just that you can’t set foot in the place without succumbing to a deep enchantment: You’ve entered a waking dreamworld, part Blue Lagoon, part Monkey’s Paw. Maybe because it’s dark as a […]

Sometimes you can’t get to Havana — or even Miami. Sometimes, this five-table, splinter of a café at the western end of Fort Lauderdale
Mancini’s has a voguish-looking interior with a huge, bristling chandelier, like a cluster of giant pods. But it’s on the broad sidewalk outside, where the restaurant has staked out an impressive chunk of Las Olas Boulevard with a couple of dozen linen-swathed tables, that you’ll see the deals being made. All the usual suspects are […]
Having weathered the economic downturn that knocked off some of its neighbors, this Las Olas mainstay is still kicking. Of course, this corner joint comes with some of that boulevard’s highbrow appeal (you can spend $17 on a salad here). It’s popular place for a power-lunch, an interview, or a first date – it smacks […]
You’ll have the time of your life at Mario’s busy, happy Cuban/Spanish restaurant, but don’t fool around: Make a reservation. You don’t want to have to wait a second longer than necessary for that steaming, ground-beef empanada, a hefty corn-scented tamal, or a feather-light ham croquette. The crowd here is lively; tropical flavors redolent of […]

When Market 17 opened in 2010, the goal was to enter the burgeoning farm-to-table, organic, sustainable movement. Using day-boat fish, free-range chicken, grass- and corn-fed (and hormone-free) beef, and organic veggies, it was one of the first restaurants in the area to tout such sourcing. If you’re not dining in the dark (that’s a thing […]
In 2010, co-owners Paula Pace and chef Ernesto Rado closed the 20-year-old Las Olas Cafe and began again with partner Scott Kraft on a new family-style restaurant: the Mason Jar Café. Together, they decided to shed the fine-dining approach of the Las Olas address and set up shop off Federal Highway in Oakland Park. The […]
McSorley’s Beach Pub boasts friendly service and some really cheap drink specials – that’s about as far as its Irish-ness extends. Still, this watering hole is a haven for anyone looking for that perfect blend of bar vibes: beachfront chill, frat-party sloppy, and now, with its recent renovations, upscale lounge. The upstairs patio and sundeck […]
What has four corners, is filled with meat, and can travel anywhere you go? Why, a South African meat pie, of course. These feature flaky/light pastries with meaty fillings like spinach and feta, bobotie (that’s curried beef with dried fruit), or lamb and potato. At only $4.95 a pop, they’re inexpensive, single-serving meals — not […]

Though lamb chops, tenderloin, stone crab, and high-end to-go food is how this Las Olas shop has made its mark, Mediterranean Market offers some of the finest sandwiches you
