I had the pleasure of working with Discover the Palm Beaches to put together a list of restaurants in North, Central and South Palm Beach County to visit during Food Month – September! Visit thepalmbeaches.com for tons of information on what to eat, see and do in The Palm Beaches!
CENTRAL COUNTY
Palm Beach West Palm Beach Wellington
Central Palm Beach County is home to downtown West Palm Beach and the island of Palm Beach. Clematis Street is the main street of downtown featuring coffee shops, restaurants and nightlight. The 500 Block has seen a rebirth recently with the addition of venues like Kapow and Lost Weekend. The Dixie Corridor has taken off with tenants like Grato, Table 26 and Aoili along with Northwood and Grilled Cheese Gallery and Table 426. The island hosts celebrity names like Daniel of Café Boulud, stunning resort dining like The Breakers, Four Seasons and EAU Palm Beach in Manalapan and is experiencing an infusion of fresh blood like Costa and the newest Sant Ambroeus. To the west are gems like Okeechobee Steakhouse, the oldest steakhouse in the State of Florida.

Ta-boo
Ta-boo, the supposed birthplace of the “Bloody Mary,” is a Worth Avenue icon. The place to see and be seen on the island for decades, Ta-boo was the stomping grounds for the rich and famous and is the home to many scandalous tales. The restaurant features multiple dining rooms, a lively bar and a coveted front room by the window, which typically requires a reservation for the first lunch seating. The salads are beautiful, the pizzas are delicious and the Island Chicken Salad Sandwich holds a special place in my heart.

Bolay
Bolay is a health-conscious fast food concept where you can order along an assembly line. Patrons build a “bol” (pronounced “bowl”) starting with a base of choices like cilantro noodles or black forbidden rice. To that, you can add layers of vegetables like Paleo Brussels, proteins like BBQ Chicken and Ahi Tuna and top it all off with Parmesan Cheese or a selection of flavorful sauces. Quick and family-friendly, Bolay can be enjoyed on location or on the go.
