Restaurants in Margate

“Here is a review of the restaurant Pasta And... in Margate, Florida: Pasta And... in Margate, Florida is a hidden gem that serves up an exceptional dining experience. As a first-time visitor, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the attentive service. I had the pleasure of dining at Pasta And... while working as the DJ for a wedding being held in their event space. The room was beautifully decorated, creating a lovely atmosphere for the celebration. While I was there to work, the staff went out of their way to make me feel like a VIP guest. The star of the evening was Chef Luigi, who demonstrated his culinary prowess throughout my time at the restaurant. Though I did not know he was the chef at first, he made sure I was well taken care of, offering me a bottle of Pellegrino and various food tastings. When I finally told him to just bring me whatever he recommended, he delivered an off-menu dish of tender, flavorful lamb chops in a delectable sauce, accompanied by fresh, grilled vegetables. The food was truly exceptional - it melted in my mouth and left me craving more. I was amazed that this restaurant, which I had never heard of before, could produce such a high-caliber meal. What really sets Pasta And... apart, though, is the service. Chef Luigi went above and beyond to ensure I felt valued and appreciated, even though I was there solely in a working capacity. His hospitality and the special treatment he provided made me feel like a VIP rather than just a wedding DJ. I look forward to returning to Pasta And... in the future, this time with my karaoke skills in tow so Chef Luigi and I can put on a show together. Based on my experience, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Margate area looking for exceptional Italian fare and unparalleled customer service.”

“Muy recomendado me gusta mucho el ambiente y muy agradable…”

“The lunch, Beef teriyaki Bento box was delicious and it came with nice portion sushi and sashimi. The tuna was yummy and fresh. The staff was very nice as well. Great atmosphere as well.”

“good food, friendly place best Vietnamese food”

“Jasmine Thai & Sushi does have very good food which I highly recommend. The restaurant is also violating Florida Statute 501.0117 by charging a 4% surcharge for using a credit card to pay your bill. For those of you who are unaware (most people) this is against the law and cannot be done. The business has been notified of their infraction and hopefully your next visit will not include this surcharge. If it does, be sure to dispute the fee. This is a State law and applies to any business which regularly accepts credit cards as payment. Ensure that your local businesses aren’t committing crimes against you.”

“I was going to sit here & ramble about how amazing Adam & Hector are, but I would rather put my toast to him from the wedding instead: We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Adam, our amazing wedding coordinator and the owner of Sidecar Kitchen. Adam, you have been an absolute rock throughout the planning process. You listened to all of my crazy ideas and helped bring them to life. Your patience and dedication never wavered, even when I changed my mind multiple times, just to change it again once more. From the delicious food to ensuring this day was everything I dreamed of, thank you for making our wedding special. The food, the setting—everything is beyond our wildest dreams, and we owe so much of that to you. We cannot wait to eat Sidecar Kitchen food again!!! Adam will be my coordinator for any event I ever put on!”

“Excellent food. It may be a hole in the wall - but the food is amazing and not expensive.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
El Recreo Cuban Bakery in the City of Margate is an absolute gem! It’s a true hole-in-the-wall spot that’s always buzzing with people—and for good reason. The food and coffee here are outstanding! If you don’t mind waiting in line, you’ll be rewarded with some of the best Cuban coffee around, along with their delicious egg sandwiches and perfectly crispy croquetas. The atmosphere is lively, the smells are incredible, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. This place captures the true flavor and spirit of a classic Cuban bakery. 100% worth the wait every time!”

“From the moment I arrived at La Bamba Mexican Spanish Restaurant Margate the experience was pleasant. The staff greeted us with a friendly smile and the service stayed attentive throughout the meal. The atmosphere was lively but relaxed, perfect for a casual dinner. The food was exactly what you expect from great Mexican food – fresh guacamole, tasty tacos that could easily be found when searching “tacos near me”, and generous portions of shrimp fajitas that left us satisfied without breaking the bank. Prices felt fair and the overall value was impressive, especially when pairing a couple of margaritas from the “margaritas near me” selection. I left feeling happy with the tasty meals, warm service, and cozy vibe – a solid choice for anyone craving Mexican grill and Spanish food in the area.”

“Lo mejor de Margate y North Lauderdale 💕 100% recomendable 😋”

“The absolute best of the best. When you are looking for great desserts, look no further. Everything is baked fresh everyday and they make custom cakes as well. The staff is always so nice and pleasant and eager to help. Excellent customer service! I had a chance to meet the owner, she is a very sweet and passionate young lady that prides herself on offering the youth their every first job. She loves what she does, and it shows through her delightful desserts. I will forever tell everyone I know about this place. I LOVE THE SWEET SPOT!”

“Authentic, freshly made West Indian food. This is the place to go in all of South Florida for freshly made roti, curry chicken, doubles, curry goat, and many more island favorites.”

“First time ordering from here and it’s definitely my favorite that I’ve had out of any other Vietnamese restaurants in the area, great prices too and so generous with fresh herbs and veggies which I really appreciate. Tried the beef and flank pho, pork and egg roll vermicelli bowl and the spring rolls. I ordered take out this time but I’ll definitely return to dine in. Everything was outstanding and fresh”

“My first time coming here was back in 2010, I moved away for a while then in 2023 I pop my head in here to see how it was. The same welcoming feeling I felt years back. All the food is superb. Chefs Kayla and Raz are perfectionists. Love the ranch chicken Philly Wrap! The staff is friendly and great to be around. No matter who serves you, you’ll be taken care of. Munson, Jenn, Brittany, Booze, Ally, Matt, Christina etc!”

“5 stars for the food and service . Feel like eating Haitian food , you won't regret it , go to Shamama.

Oh they are not stingy , they r generous with the food.

Moun yo Nan cuisine Nan konn fait manger , bon sizonad, kembe la.”

“The spring roll were the best.”

“The authentic Jamaican breakfast was very tasty. The woman at the counter has an attitude. Only had fruit smoothies and it was below average. No other ingredients available. They just took frozen Walmart fruits and water n blended it could have done that myself for 10 dollars.”

“Best pizza I ever ate! I got meatball, eggplant and spinach and they’re so generous with their wonderful sauce and it’s real cheese. Wonderful crust I never eat pizza anywhere else I’m spoiled you will be too! :)”

“My husband, my youngest son and I used to have lunch or dinner here. The stuff is friendly, respectful and helpful. You do not have to expend lot of time waiting.
We really enjoyed the Latin tasting, and the amount of food is more than enough for one person; thus often we can take some to home.
Strongly recommend this restaurant 👌”

“I just stopped by and was delighted. I had never had a ma'amoul date cookie before, but am afraid I might have a new addiction. And the tabouli was freshly made and among the best I've ever had. And the service was friendly and warm. I will definitely be going back!”

“Comida salvadoreña casera, buena, rica y de buen precio.”

“Pizza is amazing. Thin, crispy and with great, flavorful ingredients.
The wings are on the smaller side, but still really good. The crew working on 9/1/25 should get a big raise.
- A new regular”

“A great place to get takeout for teriyaki chicken. The scent of fresh food cooking fills the air and it’s amazing. Prices are reasonable and they are very generous with their serving sizes.”

“Best whole in the wall spot for coconut water. I would drive about 80 miles about every other day when on vacation out there to get coconut water from these people. I’m not sure why you only find the best spots unexpected. It’s not fancy but it’s a great spot for fresh coconut water at a good price.”

“Food is delicious I’ve eaten here for years. Service in their place when dinning in has gone down taking forever but I love to order out. I know it’s probably just other factors. Sucks when I use to love dining in with family. Easily will be an hour there and primarily just waiting… but it’s for a reason. Their horchata is the best EVER and is always sold out!! They make the lengua tacos amazing & I never like eating it anywhere else. It’s home made and authentic. I live in palm beach area and really only eat tacos when I’m near here ❤️”

“Brady's Pub have a beautiful atmosphere beautiful people there and the bartenders are great Michelle Lisa Sabrina Cindy the great women. I am the captain of the pool team there Ron McCloud. it's just a beautiful atmosphere and it's fun 😊”

“Good spot for live music each and every Sunday 3pm-7pm”

“I have been eating at this restaurant with two pregnancy i love the foods those my dad my kids and husband”

“Stopped for a beer at Sharkey’s before going to Flynn’s Arcade - very old simple neighborhood lounge- bar with great friendly customers and bartender. Very welcoming.”

“We went on a Friday night and really enjoyed the atmosphere—the music was good, not too loud, just right. We ordered the Mofongo con Queso Frito and the Bandeja Paisa. Both dishes were delicious and really hit the spot. The service was fast, friendly, and pleasant. Well go back again…”

“I tried here for the first time. I was impressed at how good the sandwich was. This is my new favorite sandwich shop!!”

“This is the best food I've eaten in as long as I can remember. Regardless of what kind. Their staff is amazing. There restaurant is immaculate. There is absolutely not one thing wrong with this place. As a matter of fact, I'm there sometimes three times a day. I'm definitely there everyday.”

“Great prices, service and food! Good old fashioned bagel place!😀”

“The bets”

“Hi this location by far has the freshest pizza and is the cleanest hungry Howie's ever. Cameron is very friendly and great guy. He has great customer service skills and sure runs a clean restaurant. I see him moving up the financial ladder successfully in life.”

“Great friendly customer service, the food is tasty 🙌”

“Been going to this Dunkin for almost 9 years and the staff has always been incredibly friendly and feels just like family there. Definitely one of my favorite local coffee shops .”

“Small Jamaican eatery. What they lack in size is made up in taste, presentation and smiles.
The food is authentically Jamaican. It’s a take out affair served it a heart of love. Fried chicken to die for….. curry chicken is on point. So much to choose from, on the week end look out for Diana service with a smile. The chef is boss!!! Mid Maxine and the crew representing well!!! Careful you miss it , drive slowly after crossing Atlantic, heading south on SR7. Happy eating!!!”

“I loved my wings.... both the crispy and the grilled.... Nathan's fries my fav with the blue cheese and buffalo sauce together. But it's VERY over priced... it can be a wait at the drive thru... but food is good”

“I come to this store just about every every day
for lunch - It’s extremely well maintained very
clean, service is great and the food is always
Very fresh - great sandwiches.”

“Food is good at this location, here again proves which branch you go to counts - the one close by on State Rd 7 is nowhere as good as so many places on State Rd 7 South of Atlantic Blvd. seem to be. As with so many chain restaurants each location gets a different rating.”

“I stopped here on yesterday and asked for a Venti. At the window where I pay she handed me a tall. I said, I asked for a venti politely and they said they can make it for me. I said, I didn't want to hold up the line. another lady yells, you are the line! The guy that took the order incorrectly apologized. It was smiles all around and they gave me the correct size; great job Team! You made my morning.”
