One of the best things about travelling to new places and experiencing new things is getting to try all types of food! Fort Lauderdale has a vibrant food scene with plenty of great restaurants to explore for any visitors. Here are a few of our recommendations for the next time you’re visiting South Florida. 

Tinta & Lona

With a fantastic beach view from the wide-open doorway and open-air patio, Tinta is a great breakfast spot for those looking to also enjoy the salty sea air. Tinta serves breakfast with a modern Mexican influence. Chef Pablo Salas has been working to bring the food of his childhood to Fort Lauderdale. You’ll find the breakfast and brunch favorites you know with a masterful latin twist courtesy of Chef Salas. Tinta is located at his Lona restaurant and is served from 7 am to 11 am on the weekdays and 7 am to 11:30 am on the weekends. Make sure you take time for a wonderful breakfast or brunch while gazing out over the Atlantic Ocean. 

If you’re looking for a later meal, you can still enjoy a fantastic lunch or dinner with the same beautiful view. You’ll find delicious Mexican cuisine infused with the creativity of Chef Salas such as their fajitas, tacos, enchiladas, and more. Make sure to look out for their Taco Tuesdays and Happy Hours as well for a great time.
