Fort Lauderdale is one of the best places to eat in all of Broward, especially if waterfront dining is your goal. This city is basically one big canal—and a lovely beach too—which explains why everyone dresses as if they’re ready to go swimming at a moment’s notice.

The options on this guide range from old-school seafood spots to the best Thai restaurants in all of South Florida.
