5 Best New Restaurants in West Palm Beach

Looking for a local’s guide to the best new restaurants in West Palm Beach?

 

Look no further, here are some great up-and-coming West Palm Beach restaurants that you’ll want to check out next time you need something new to refresh your palate.

 

Restoration Hardware Rooftop Restaurant

 

Artisanal wines? Check. Craft beer? Check. Casual yet refined dining under a soaring glass atrium with views of Downtown West Palm Beach? Check.

 

The Restoration Hardware Rooftop Restaurant is one of our top picks for a dining experience unique that mirrors the sophistication of the brand itself. 

 

The menu, which includes options for brunch and dinner, features seasonal ingredients that are as exciting as the architecture that surrounds you.

 

We recommend the artisanal prosciutto served with seasonal fruit and a warm baguette to share, the kale caesar salad to start, and appreciate the simplicity of the “simple prep of fish” as a main. It’s the perfect place to impressive a client, or to take your significant other for a taste of downtown West Palm.

 

The Butcher Shop Beer Garden & Grill

 

If USDA certified meats washed down with a craft beer are what you’re after, The Butcher Shop should be on your list of new downtown West Palm Beach restaurants.

 

While you’re there, do a little grocery shopping and take home custom cuts of meat, homemade sausages and burgers, and some of the best kielbasa we’ve ever tasted.

 

If you are a real foodie, you’ll enjoy that all of these meats have no hormones or antibiotics, and are all natural.

 

The Butcher Shop, which also has another, original location in Wynwood, Miami, is on the northern outskirts of downtown West Palm, just west of the north bridge.

 

Our top pick from the menu </a >is the sausage platter washed down with a “Butcher’s Manhattan,” but
you can’t go wrong with the marinated flank steak either.

 

Lynora’s Market & Deli

 

Italian immigrants Raffaele and Maria Abbenante came to Lake Worth in 1974 and began selling pizzas by the slice. Over the next 35 years, the restaurant became something of a staple for not only pizza lovers, but those seeking antipasto, sandwiches, and Italian classics.

 

We’re a sucker for their pizza, but our friends tell us the chicken cacciatore is some of the best they’ve had. Enjoy the classic ambiance of South Dixie Highway in this casual, family setting.

 

Cajun Crab

 

Husband and wife chefs MV Truong and DK Hoang, AKA MKT, started their dining experience at home with a passion for unique, diverse seafood concepts.

 

They have brought that same at-home dining experience — Cajun Crab is a seafood restaurant and sports bar — to West Palm and have created something truly unique.

 

We went in for some blue crabs and went out with a smile. You don’t normally get to eat freshly caught, expertly prepared seafood while also watching March Madness! This is why Cajun Crab is on our list for top new seafood restaurants in West Palm Beach.

 

Got Rice?

 

At the Northwest corner of Okeechobee and Military Trail lies a local’s only Chinese and Vietnamese restaurant soon to be your go-to casual dining or take-out favorite. Known best for its pho (pronounced “fuh,” rhymes with “huh”), the restaurant is known for blowing your taste buds away and providing restaurant goers with food presentation that is second-to-none.

 

Don’t stray too far from the pack here, the pho is on point and is highly recommended. Their self-proclaimed “meal in a bowl,” the pho is comprised of delicious Vietnamese beef noodle soup cooked for over 12 hours, topped with scallions, sliced onion, cilantro and served with a side of fresh sprouts, basil, jalapenos and lime wedges.
