Interested in getting intel on the newest eateries to open in Fort Lauderdale? From a cafe serving healthful fare to a modern saloon, read on for the freshest places to grab a bite near you.
#00 Saloon
A new addition to the Himmarshee Historic District, #00 Saloon is at 301 S.W. Second St. The huge rustic-modern establishment holds six bars, indoor and outdoor performance and dance spaces, and tables for patrons to enjoy a full menu, from brunch to dinner.
Entrees include steak, chicken breast or seafood served with sides like roasted potatoes, creamed corn or sautéed spinach. Listen for country music from two DJ stations and occasional live music.
Press and Grind Cafe
Stroll past 474 N. Federal Highway in Victoria Park and you'll find Press and Grind Cafe, a new juicery and coffee bar featuring fresh baked goods and healthful fare.
Coffee comes from a local roaster, and juices are squeezed on the spot. You can have avocado toast three different ways: with cilantro and pine nuts; tomato and feta; or pomegranate salsa. Salads and açaí bowls are also available, as are various sandwiches and wraps.
Spatch Peri-Peri Grilled Chicken
New to Flagler Village is Spatch Peri-Peri Grilled Chicken, located at 468 N. Federal Highway. It has a second location in Coral Ridge.
Peri-peri chicken is a southern African specialty made with the African bird's-eye chile. The chicken is spatchcocked — split and flattened — then marinated in the peri-peri sauce and grilled over open flames. Spatch offers it up in a range of heats. Round out your meal with sides such as rice and beans, sweet and spicy kale and grilled corn on the cob. Outdoor seating is available.
