Florie's
RESTAURANT SUMMARY

Where three-Michelin-starred artistry meets Florida's coastal bounty, Florie's Palm Beach represents chef Mauro Colagreco's singular American debut—a Mediterranean sanctuary where live-fire cooking transforms local ingredients into extraordinary culinary poetry. Overlooking the Atlantic from the Forbes Five-Star Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, this oceanfront destination redefines Palm Beach fine dining through Colagreco's globally acclaimed philosophy.
The culinary journey began in 2019 when Colagreco, the visionary behind Mirazur—crowned World's Best Restaurant in 2019—chose Palm Beach for his first stateside venture. Named for his grandmother, Florie's embodies the chef's deep connection to nature and biodiversity, translating his Argentine roots and French mastery into a distinctly Floridian expression. Under chef de cuisine Diego Soriano's guidance, the restaurant has evolved into one of the best restaurants Palm Beach offers, earning recognition for its innovative approach to Mediterranean cuisine.
The menu celebrates Colagreco's signature live-fire techniques through stone hearth ovens, yakitori grills, and rotisserie preparations that showcase Florida's exceptional seafood and citrus. Signature creations include the Florida red snapper ceviche with leche de tigre and canxa corn, tandoor-roasted lamb shoulder echoing Mirazur classics, and the theatrical lobster à la broche—a Florida interpretation of rotisserie chicken. The wagyu beef from the yakitori station and eggplant with scamorza espuma from the stone hearth demonstrate the kitchen's technical precision, while the tiramisu with lemon biscuit honors the chef's grandmother's recipe. Seasonal discovery menus highlight sustainable sourcing and local partnerships, positioning Florie's among the finest fine dining establishments in Palm Beach.
The 200-seat restaurant captivates through light-filled interiors designed with mint green and bronze accents, white wicker furnishings, and panoramic Atlantic views. The oceanfront terrace provides tropical dining beneath pergolas, while the open kitchen offers theatrical glimpses of live-fire mastery. Florie's Bar elevates the experience with garden-driven cocktails crafted by head mixologist Matthew Dress, featuring botanicals from the resort's onsite garden. Sommelier Jessica Altieri's sustainable wine program and exclusive water sommelier experiences—the only certified program in Four Seasons' global portfolio—complement the Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. Smart casual dress code maintains the refined yet approachable atmosphere.
Reservations at Florie's require advance planning, particularly for the coveted oceanfront terrace and chef's table experiences. The restaurant's Sunday brunch featuring interactive stations and tableside preparations, plus special events like 'Wednesday's Uncorked' wine nights, cement its status as Palm Beach's premier culinary destination where Mediterranean tradition meets Florida innovation.
