The best restaurants in West Palm Beach, according to the experts: Michelin Guide and James Beard Awards have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Emelina comes out on top.

Rank 1. Emelina
Modern Cuban
A handful of counter seats face an open kitchen where the team is quietly asking what Cuban food could be if it kept its roots and borrowed ideas from everywhere else. The Michelin-starred result is a tasting-counter experience that feels personal rather than performative, with most ingredients coming from South Florida farms and ranches. Expect refined, composed cooking: familiar flavors refracted just enough to stop you mid-bite.
