Fort Lauderdale Guide

California Roll at Takato Restaurant

Restaurant and activity recommendations for your next trip to Fort Lauderdale!

If you are in Fort Lauderdale, you have to head to Las Olas- a strip for shopping, art galleries, and incredible restaurants. Some of my favorite restaurants in Las Olas include:

• YOLO Restaurant (American Steakhouse)

• Louie Bossi Restaurant (Italian)

• Big City Tavern Restaurant & Bar (American)

• Casa Sensei (Asian and Mexican Cuisines)

• Sushi Garage (Asian)

• Salt 7 (American Steakhouse)

• The Floridian Restaurant (Diner)

• La Bonne Crepe (French American)

• Java and Jam (Brunch)

• Pura Vida (Healthy Lunch)

• And so much more!

There are also many adorable boutiques for shopping. I would definitely recommend checking out South Moon Under, Quiet Storm Surf Shop, and Envy for many great clothing, bathing suit, and accessories! I also always have a fun time exploring the different art galleries on the Boulevard and the Art Fairs that happen a couple of times a year. Another fun family-friendly activity to do is the Water Taxi Tour of Fort Lauderdale.

You can’t do Fort Lauderdale right without heading to the beach. There is a long strip of restaurants on the beach. Some of my favorites are: Coconuts (seafood), Takato Restaurant (Sushi), and El Vez (Mexican).
