While we all breathe a sigh of relief that 2016 is finally almost behind us, there's at least one thing we South Floridians can all look forward to in 2017: Broward and Palm Beach Counties are already shaping up to be a pretty thrilling time for South Florida restaurant openings.

Established chefs are opening new projects. Big names are headed for the area with innovative, fresh ideas. And some of our favorite restaurateurs — a few who haven't debuted a new concept for years — are looking to break back onto the scene in a big way.

Here, a final tally of the most notable restaurant openings and closings to make headlines in South Florida this year, as well as the top 35 establishments (and breweries) we're most looking forward to welcoming in 2017.
