The Top 24 Restaurants Near PGA National Resort

Rank 1. Coolinary and the Parched Pig
Contemporary
Two restaurants merged into one is either a great idea or a total mess, and here it landed on the right side. This laid-back neighborhood spot runs a menu that genuinely refuses to commit to a single identity, in the best way, with bar snacks, hearty mains, and serious desserts all sharing the same page. The crowd is Palm Beach Gardens locals who've found their regular, and they're right to claim it.
-
Rank 2. Stage Kitchen & Bar
International
A large, lively restaurant in a Palm Beach Gardens shopping center that somehow pulls off a globe-trotting menu without losing the plot. The chef's Indian roots show up throughout, but his travels clearly took him everywhere else too, so expect the menu to zigzag confidently across cuisines. The crowd figures this out fast and keeps coming back, which is why getting a table here is rarely as easy as it looks.

Rank 6. būccan
Contemporary New American
A Palm Beach institution that locals treat like a neighborhood secret, even though everyone's in on it. Būccan is a lively, mid-range spot serving creative contemporary American food, the kind of place where regulars argue over whether to order pasta or go straight to the short rib empanadas. The menu rotates with the seasons, so the room full of tan, well-dressed Palm Beachers never seems to get bored. Neither will you.

Rank 14. Larb Thai-Isan
Isan Thai
Isan Thai in a Fort Lauderdale strip mall sounds like a dare, but this place wins easily. No reservations, always packed, totally worth the wait. The menu goes way beyond the usual curry-and-pad-thai loop, leaning into the punchy, fermented, herbaceous flavors of northeastern Thailand. Tell them you like it spicy and they will believe you. The crowd is a mix of regulars who know exactly what they want and first-timers looking slightly overwhelmed by the menu.
