Las Vegas Cuban Cuisine

This Fort Lauderdale Cuban restaurant has several locations across Broward County, the first of which has been in operation since the early ’90s. As a result, the menu offers a taste of Cuban fare at its finest. The Cuban sandwich it delivers is thick and meaty, with plenty of cheese, pickles, and mustard to balance […]

Laser Wolf

Located where NE Fourth Avenue meets the train tracks, Laser Wolf fits in an unusual triangular space. The place vibrates with bright-red walls, a mural by pro skateboarder Kris Markovich, and the runaway trendiness of a crowd that gathers between its walls to drink sake and locally crafted microbrews. Tacos and Tex Mex specials are […]

LaSpada’s Original Hoagies

Since 1973, LaSpada’s has been flinging sliced deli meats into waiting hoagie rolls with a deft touch. But meaty acrobatics are just one of the infamous sub shop’s trademarks. The other is its method of sandwich construction. A testament to flawless hoagie engineering, LaSpada’s first preps a giant, fresh-baked roll with mayo and mustard (or […]

Le Patio

Le Patio, a place that bills itself as the “tiniest, cutest restaurant in South Florida,” just might be telling the truth. The inside is no larger than a hallway, with a miniature kitchen to match. Owners Veronique Leroux and Jean Doherty do their cooking off site in the mornings and afternoons and truck the goods […]

Lemon Grass Asian Bistro

Lemon Grass is swank, but the price is right. The menu at this Fort Lauderdale spot verges on gigantic, but it?s easy to navigate, and your bill will be just as easy on your wallet. And unlike other multipage menus, this one hangs together beautifully and never loses focus, effortlessly drawing out Vietnamese, Chinese, Hawaiian, […]

Lester’s Diner

There are diners, and then there’s Lester’s. Everything about this place is a matter of superlatives: It’s one of the oldest dining establishments in the county, dating back to the late ’60s. It’s one of the biggest, with a back dining room that seems to extend to the horizon. And its menu is one of […]

Lips

You don’t go to Fort Lauderdale’s Lips to eat but to be eaten: The drag queens and divas who patrol the crowd have a sharp eye for a sweet little morsel like you to chew on, so wear your thickest skin. Dinner shows, with a full three-course menu, are at 8:15 or 8:30 Tuesday through […]

Living Green Fresh Market

We all want to eat healthy, but Whole Foods-esque prices can keep us hooked on McDonald’s.

Here, you can score delightful produce of all kinds (much of it locally sourced) for prices you have to see to […]

Living Room at the W

Not to be mistaken for the Living Room Night Club formerly on Las Olas Boulevard, Living Room at the W Hotel on Fort Lauderdale Beach offers a chic, loungey alternative to the permanent spring break vibes of most other bars and clubs on the strip. More suitable for a sunset snack and drink or intimate […]

Lobster Bar Sea Grille

Occupying the space that housed Jackson’s Steakhouse on Las Olas for years, this place is filling the void for high-end cuisine that was left in its wake when it closed years ago. With shiny white subway tiles, warm woods, and vintage-inspired light fixtures, the space looks much like the old-school oyster bars from back in […]

Louie Bossi’s Ristorante, Bar & Pizzeria

Since it’s July 2015 opening, the scene at Louie Bossi’s Ristorante Bar and Pizzeria in Fort Lauderdale is fueled by intense energy. On any given evening, every inch of the main dining room is jammed like the Dolphin Expressway at rush hour. Except here, people seem perfectly agreeable with being elbow to elbow. From a […]

Lucky’s Tavern

Crowned home of the three-legged dog, Lucky’s Tavern is the latest addition to the downtown Himmarshee drinking district, replacing Coyote Ugly. The interior structure wasn’t given much of a face-lift, but it has been cleaned up quite a bit. Monstrous flat-screen TVs replace the lingerie collection, the various novelty flags are nowhere to be seen, […]
