"Dining right on the beach is what you can expect at OCEAN2000 located at the Pelican Grand Beach Resort. This is perfect for a romantic dinner date or special occasion, with its dreamy ocean views from the veranda or tables even closer to the water by the sand. With plenty of space, social distancing while dining is certainly not a problem here."

"Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at the Pelican Grand Hotel, Ocean2000 serves local fresh fish and vegetables cooked with a little Latin flair. Like any hotel restaurant, there are breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner menus. For the morning and early-afternoon crowd, try the cinnamon-challah french toast."

"Spectacular ocean views and coastal cuisine with a Latin flair are on the menu at Dune. The signature restaurant is located inside the Auberge Beach Residences and Spa, but you don’t need to be a club member to dine here. The restaurant has three distinct dining spaces, each of which has panoramic views of the beach."

"Dune at Auberge Beach is one of my favorite restaurants because of their amazing food and location!. Here you can soak up oceanfront views since you’re located just steps from the beach. Their food is described as coastal-Latin cuisine with some fabulous multicultural fusions dishes and seafood specialties as well."

"Frozen cocktails, an oceanfront setting and live music help create a festive atmosphere at this popular beach spot. Cafe del Mar is known as the place that truly stirs the senses. Grab a patio table and cool off with a delicious classic, strawberry or mango margarita, or hop up and dance to the sounds of jazz, the enticing flamenco guitar, reggae, Latin jazz, pop tracks and blues music."

"Café Del Mar, established in 2002, has been a favorite spot on Fort Lauderdale Beach for both locals and tourists alike."

"NiDo believes that food must be made and served the same day to be enjoyed and serves some of the best authentic Italian cuisine in Miami. If eating at NiDo you must try one of the house made fresh mozzerella’s served in a variety of flavor profiles from burratta to Affumicata to Bufala. If wanting to try several of the fresh mozzerella’s order the Tagliere mistro with three cheeses and cold cuts with tomatoes and more."

"Caffé & Mozzarella Bar offers excellent authentic Italian cuisine in a casual setting with mismatched tables and chairs and outdoor seating. Renowned for being the first bar serving homemade fresh mozzarella in Miami, Ni.Do. Caffé serves brunch, lunch, and dinner as well as drinks and cocktails and catering services."

"Famous for its house made mozzarella bar, NiDo also serves up some beloved Italian fare. Sure the burrata is a must order, but it’s lasagna ni do made with beef ragut and a béchamel sauce is also worthy of praise. For those craving something a bit lighter, it also offers branzino, grilled salmon, and tuna tartare."

"Hollywood has a considerable Romanian population, and La Vendetta is an ideal place to sample some of their hearty cuisine, as well as some well-made Italian specialties. The mititei, a type of sausage shaped meatball, is a signature dish served with a side of creamy polenta smothered in sour cream."

"The outdoor dining area is very cute in a parklette type setting with umbrellas and plants. Service was fairly quick."

"Last but certainly not least is one of Fort Lauderdale’s best-kept secrets: The Secret Woods Nature Center. Document your experience as you explore walking paths made from recycled materials. You’ll be able to observe a wide variety of Florida wildlife including reptiles,seabirds, and insects."

"Fort Lauderdale has a rich history which may be overshadowed by the more modern an sophisticated metro area that it has become. Old Fort Lauderdale Village and Museum chronicles the city's history from the early Seminole era to World War II. It also offers information about the city's historic district and a chronology of its development. Other exhibits feature scale models of historic structures, including a recreation of a Seminole village complete with arts and crafts."

"Holiday Park in Fort Lauderdale is one of the city’s most popular public parks!. It consists of over 90 acres of land located just south of Sunrise Boulevard and east of Federal Highway. This large and diverse recreational center offers a variety of activities suitable for all ages."

"This French toast is just as tasty as it is large — and makes for a great shareable dish for the table. The brioche bread stuffed with guava, whipped cream cheese, and dusted with plenty of powdered sugar."
