Aruba Beach Cafe

Fort Lauderdale Food: 6 Meals Not to Miss - AFAR

"A lively oceanside beach bar and restaurant in a small Lauderdale-by-the-Sea community where the ambience—ocean breeze, live music, and a bustling happy hour—is as much an attraction as the Caribbean-American menu. Diehard fans rave about Bimini bread with honey butter, and the spot is ideal for sharing appetizers like blue crab dip or indulging in large plates such as shrimp scampi and baked stuffed shrimp. The raw bar offers peel-and-eat spiced shrimp, chilled lobster, and smoked wahoo dip, making it a quintessential beachfront dining experience." - Amber Love Bond
