“Living Green has become a must stop when in Ft. Lauderdale. The food and service is consistently excellent and true to their promises on the walls. This means highest ingredients, no artificial flavors, no seed oils, etc. Kyra is professional and welcoming. She is a breath of fresh air every time we visit. We are always happy to see her. She pays attention to detail.“

“We dined at Village Café on Tuesday, March 14th and we had Liz and Angie as our waitresses, and both were very responsive and made several suggestions on the menu and answered all of our questions. Miguel is the chef at the restaurant and every dish is an artistic adventure! They take reservations which can be made off of their web site, and the brunch can be busy so a reservation is recommended. Our daughter and three of her friends are here for Spring Break and they had breakfast at the café and suggested that we try the restaurant. Here is some background on the restaurant: We are a little cafe one block away from the beach, with a lovely atmosphere, and friendly staff. We like to make customers feel like they are at home. We serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Village Cafe is an American contemporary fusion restaurant, located just one block away Fort Lauderdale Beach, offering an unforgettable experience with a tasty breakfast, lunch and dinner menu, all this in a nice atmosphere and a friendly staff. They have an excellent wine list to make purchases by the bottle and wines by the glass with many choices. The homemade house rolls with two spreads, one cilantro and the other with a kick of spice. We tried the following: Tuna Ceviche: Fresh tuna, mango, toasted peanuts, onions, cucumbers, olive oil, topped with lime juice, cilantro and aji limo Quinoa Tabule $28 Tricolor quinoa, onions, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, lime juice, served with four breaded jumbo shrimp Grilled New York Steak 10 oz Grilled steak marinated with an aromatic and charcoal-flavored oil. Deconstructed Key Lime Pie We ordered dessert because of all the reviews that complimented the key lime pie that we split. Thank you for a wonderful meal! We enjoyed it so much, that we plan to go back to try the brunch!“

“Seriously and hands down my personal favorite empanada's in Fort Lauderdale!! The crust is perfectly flaky but yet chewy, they dont skimp on the filling and oh my the seasoning in the filling is DELICIOUS. Not to mention their home made Chimichuri sauce to pair with the empanadas too.

It is a little difficult to find, its tucked in the building but when you find it trust me you'll be going back. Parking is complementary at the valet if youre going here!

Parking: COMPLEMENTARY VALET IF YOURE GOING TO THE RESTAURANT“

“We landed early afternoon & headed straight to Café Bastille-Fort Lauderdale in Fort Lauderdale for brunch. I'd heard rave reviews about this spot & it exceeded expectations. We kicked off with a passionfruit margarita & a bacon bloody mary, both bursting with flavor. For our meal, we opted to share the truffle croque madame with a side salad & breakfast potatoes. The toast was wonderfully light & fluffy, & the potatoes had the perfect crunch. We couldn't leave without getting a NY pistachio croissant. The entire experience was enchanting. I'm already looking forward to our next visit before leaving Florida.“

“Stop by with my son this morning to pick up breakfast. Everything was absolutely phenomenal! From how delicious everything was to how impeccably clean the whole store is and how incredibly nice the owner and staff is. I cannot wait to go back again. Super happy to finally have a Vicky bakery in Fort Myers.“

“I love Loca Mocha I only go 5days a week lol. Mrs Silvia is the best her hospitality is amazing. Phil sure knows his way around the kitchen he makes everything with love. I look forward to our brief convos while waiting for the best protein shake in the world. And lunch at the cafe is a must great food at affordable prices.“

“This is a hidden gem here in Ft. Lauderdale. My colleagues came across this café about a week ago & we decided to check it out. I have since then been 3 times & every food experience is better than the last. With sky rocket high prices everywhere downtown it's nice to get an amazing quality meal that doesn't cost a minimum of $20. I've had their French toast with fresh blue berries and strawberries, their chicken rice bowl that was absolutely delicious & their turkey sandwich on rye bread. Food is fresh and the staff is super friendly. I will continue coming here. THANK YOU!!!!“

“We went two days in a row and the service was amazing both days. The staff are attentive to all of the customers and made sure that everyone was happy with their drinks/food items. The owner was extremely welcoming as well. The atmosphere was superb and I cannot wait to go back.“

“Been ordering lunch for 16 years now Commercial point cafe has the best food as it is always prepared fresh always hot and delivered fast and has a scrumptious variety on their menu of home favorites to gourmet creations. Try the cajun fries you'll get hooked try everything and you'll be hooked. you wont be sorry.“

“Super impressed! Not many coffee shops know the true definition of a Machiato. It is espresso with a touch of milk (unlike what Starbucks would have you believe). I placed my order online so I could pick it up on my way to work, it was my first time visiting. The gentleman baristo was super thoughtful and made the espresso shots but wanted to confirm my order when I arrived. It came out perfect 👌 Will be back.“

“Chef MN is a hidden gem on the fifth floor of an office building. The quinoa bowls are amazing - packed with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it a must-visit spot for a healthy lunch or snack.“

“This place is great for grabbing a couple of drinks. It has chairs outside, which is an open area.Customer service is great.Rebecca is the bomb ( she goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable) so helpfulEverytime I visit florida. It's the first place to visit to eat and drink something.“

“I visit Mondo's often, and it’s perfect for breakfast and lunch! David and the team make every visit feel welcoming with their warm, friendly service.

The menu is extensive, offering a fantastic variety of fresh salads, wraps, sandwiches, soups, and daily specials. Whether you're in the mood for something light or hearty, there’s always something great to choose from.

Highly recommend giving it a try 10/10!“

“This place offers a truly distinct menu filled with creatively prepared, healthy options. During our mural work nearby, they graciously hosted our artists' group, and their hospitality was beyond description. The food they serve is not only incredibly delicious but also nutritious. The cafe is quiet and cozy. It was inspiring to see many customers working on their computers. Highly recommend to give it a try!“
