Palm Beach is home to legendary resorts, historic landmarks, upscale shopping, and top-notch restaurants. Last month we spent a fantastic weekend at this beautiful place, explored the dining scene, and today we are giving you the top five restaurants in Palm Beach.
1.Cafe Boulud
This upscale French restaurant has a premier location at the Brazilian Court Hotel. It features executive chef Daniel Boulud’s fresh cuisine, a warm atmosphere, and top-notch service. Â
Interesting Fact:Â Each season, the restaurant showcases a different menu inspired by Boulud’s travels worldwide.Â
Dining here was a true delight. Our dinner started with the evening’s special pasta with truffles, which was very masterfully prepared and presented. Then, we followed with the crusted seabass for our entree and concluded with delicious apricot sorbet. During the entire night, we enjoyed old French chansons and sipped on a Chardonnay, feeling like we were in Paris.
This spot offers both indoor and outdoor seating. We recommend brunch under the sun in their beautiful courtyard and dinner in their elegant and cozy dining room.
From our experience, this is one of the best restaurants in Palm Beach and is a must-visit.Â

2.Renato's
Renato’s is a hidden gem at the beautiful Via Mizner, just off the famous Worth Ave. It features continental cuisine (with Italian flair), a lively atmosphere, and distinguished service.Â
Dine under the stars, surrounded by the beautiful bougainvillea in their dreamy courtyard, or choose their low-lighted, romantic dining rooms, enhanced with candles and classical music.Â
Interesting Fact:Â Renato’s is a family-owned restaurant with more than 25 years of history.Â
We indeed had a fantastic time dining here. For our starter, we went with a glass of Chardonnay and a bowl of Insalata Caprese, continued with Pappardelle Vitello e Funghi and finished with delicious Torta di Limoncello and a glass of Brut. Â
Visiting Renato’s gives you proper La Vie en rose vibes and nothing less than that!Â
Visitors Info: The location of Renato’s represents a true architectural gem. Learn more about it by reading our Downtown Palm Beach blog.Â
Due to this restaurant’s fantastic position, after dinner, we got to walk to the historic Via Mizner Steps and the famous Worth Ave, which made our night even more perfect. Renato’s is also a must-visit when in Palm Beach.Â
Visitors Info: You can book your Renato’s experience on Open Table.
3. BiCE Restaurant
What started 90 years ago as a petite Cucina in Tuscany today represents one of the most renowned restaurants in Palm Beach. BiCE restaurant offers traditional Northern Italian cuisine, upscale drinks, and excellent service.Â
Here, you can choose from their elegant indoor dining area, relax at their outside lounge, or grab a drink by their bar. And all of that steps away from Palm Beach’s main street/Worth Ave.Â
Our dining experience there was a blast. We tried the traditional antipasti (prosciutto di parma e melone), continued with their rigatoni ala norma, and “sweetened our dinner” with a couple of scoops of their delicious vanilla and cafe gelato.Â
Visitors Info: BiCE has restaurants in Milan, New York, Palm Beach, Naples, Orlando, and Dubai.Â
We highly recommend visiting this place when in Palm Beach.Â

4. Henry's
This wonderful place is located at the Via Flagler, by the historic Breakers Hotel. Henry’s is an American-inspired lounge that invites you with elevated comfort food, a cozy interior, and excellent service.Â
Having brunch here was great. Upon arrival, we were kindly greeted by the friendly hostess and offered refreshments immediately ( after all, it was super hot that day in Palm Beach). We decided to go for the crabcake Benedict, which was delicious, and we sipped on their Sparkling lemon drop. The atmosphere was very relaxed, yet it carried the elegance of Palm Beach.Â
After our brunch, we roamed off to check out Via Flagler. We decided to stop at Main Streett by The Breakers, at this charming gift shop that also sells coffee and sweets.
Historical Fact: The location of this restaurant, or the Via Flagler, was initially considered the main street of Palm Beach.
Don’t skip Henry’s when in Palm Beach, please; it’s truly a great place.

5. Lola 41
Last but not least, on our list of top five restaurants in Palm Beach is Lola 41. This restaurant is famous for its cuisine from the 41st parallel, and its name hides an exciting story. Lola stands for longitude latitude, and the number 41 is the specific parallel that Lola inhabits.Â
The whole restaurant, from the interior to the cuisine, is influenced by the regions residing on the 41st parallel. Those regions include Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and the Atlantic Ocean.Â
Visitors Info: Lola 41 is located at the beautiful White Elephant Palm Beach Hotel.Â
Because of its unique story, we were intrigued to dine here and had a blast. Before dinner, we decided to grab a cocktail by the bar and check out those famous embedded coins from countries all over the 41st parallel.Â
Then we moved to the dining area and indulged in Hong Kong chicken lettuce wraps, followed by a king crab rangoon and a side of truffle fries. We didn’t have room for dessert because those truffle fries always do the deal :). Overall, it was a lovely night!
You must check out Lola 41 when in Palm Beach.Â
