Best Outdoor Dining in Downtown West Palm Beach

The Best Outdoor Dining in Downtown West Palm Beach

There’s something about eating outdoors in South Florida that just feels right.

Whether you’re sipping cocktails beneath swaying palm trees, enjoying dinner under twinkling lights, or watching boats glide along the Intracoastal, outdoor dining is one of the best ways to experience Downtown West Palm Beach.

Thanks to our warm weather nearly year-round, many of the city’s best restaurants offer beautiful patios, rooftop terraces, tropical courtyards, and waterfront seating. These are the places I recommend when friends ask, “Where should we eat outside?”

Where can I find the best outdoor dining in West Palm Beach?

Some of the best outdoor restaurants in Downtown West Palm Beach include Avocado Grill, Hullabaloo, Elisabetta’s, Pistache, The Blind Monk, Fern, Spruzzo and E.R. Bradley’s. Whether you’re looking for a rooftop cocktail, waterfront views, or a cozy courtyard, there’s an outdoor table waiting for you

Best Waterfront Patios

E.R. Bradley’s

A giant tiki hut, a lawn dotted with picnic tables and games…this is the laid back place to relax on the waterfront, enjoy a cocktail and listen to live music.

Elisabetta’s

You’ll love the view of the yachts, the huge covered patio and the food. Everything and I mean everything is house made…the pasta, the bread, the pizza dough.

Pistache

Your choice…a covered patio or an outdoor table with a view of our waterfront park. Wherever you choose to dine, you’ll be overlooking our beautiful waterfront park. My favorites at this French bistro? Truly a menu where you can’t go wrong!

Best Rooftop Bars & Dining

Spruzzo

Rooftop bar? This is it! You’ll step off the glass elevator at The Ben Hotel and into Spruzzo. One look, one taste and you’ll never want to leave West Palm Beach. You’ll impress your friends and family when you take them here for a drink or dinner.

Treehouse

A magical oasis perched atop the Canopy Hotel boasting the highest rooftop bar in town. Need I say more?

Top of the Roxx

Rooftop lounge with a pool and the place to be after dark with a DJ Thursdays thru Sundays.

Best Off-the-Beaten Path Patios

The Blind Monk

Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, this a great place to enjoy a glass of wine or cocktail, delicious small plates and a conversation.

Fern

Off-the-beaten tourist track, you’ll find Fern with a colorful mural filled patio. A ranch-to-table restaurant featuring local produce and meats from their local ranch. If you’re looking for a quiet dinner, this is your spot!

Best Vacation Vibe

Avocado Grill

You’ll get an instant vacation vibe at Avocado Grill with chic tropical decor and options for tent or patio dining. A small plate menu inspired by the sun and the sea and avocados too! My favorites? Grilled Fish Taco, Housemade Chips & Guacamole, Nutella Avocado Mousse.

Best Lively Patio

Hullabaloo

Located in the 500 block of Clematis (aka the locals block), this is the place to be for outdoor dining. Added bonus…Hullabaloo has a colorful back patio with their Airstream Trailer dining room. If you love craft cocktails and great food, you’ve found your place.

Best People Watching on Clematis

Rocco’s Tacos

Always a buzzy place in the lively 200 block Clematis. Expect great people watching, and start with their mango margarita and housemate guacamole and chips.
