How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding a Wine Spectator Restaurant Award or rated as having an exceptional wine program, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.

  • būccan

    Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

    būccan holds a 2025 Michelin Plate on Palm Beach's South County Road, where chef Clay Conley's small-plate American format draws on sourcing discipline and seasonal thinking rather than the resort-dining formulas that dominate the island. With a 4.,200 reviews, it occupies the serious end of Palm Beach's independent restaurant tier.

  • Cafe Boulud

    Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Exceptional wine program

    Cafe Boulud carries the weight of a globally recognized name into Palm Beach's most formal dining tier, where French-rooted technique meets a room accustomed to high expectations. Part of Daniel Boulud's portfolio of properties, the restaurant occupies a distinct position in the island's dining scene — more architecturally serious than its neighbours, with a menu that draws on classical European foundations rather than Florida's more casual coastal register.

  • Cafe L’Europe Palm Beach

    Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

    Cafe L'Europe has anchored Palm Beach's formal dining scene on South County Road for decades, earning a 3-Star Accreditation from the World of Fine Wine awards. The room signals old-guard continental ambitions — a reference point for understanding how European dining traditions took root in Florida's most rarefied zip code. Reserve well in advance during the winter season.

  • Coco's

    Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

    Coco’s sits on Cocoanut Row in Palm Beach, a useful address for reading the town’s dining mood: polished, compact, and shaped by guests who care as much about sourcing and seasonality as room temperature and table spacing. With no public awards, chef, cuisine, or price details attached, the editorial lens belongs on context rather than mythology: where it fits among Palm Beach’s clubby dining habits and ingredient-led expectations.

  • Florie's

    Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

    The signature restaurant at the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, Florie's opened in January 2019 as Mauro Colagreco's first U.S. venture, bringing the live-fire and stone hearth techniques of his three-Michelin-starred Mirazur to Florida's Atlantic coast. The 200-seat dining room blends French and Mediterranean discipline with local seafood and citrus, while the bar draws on an onsite garden to shape a cocktail program that changes with the seasons.

  • HMF at the Breakers

    Wine Spectator Grand Award · Exceptional wine program

    Set inside The Breakers on Palm Beach's South County Road, HMF is the hotel's flagship dining room, built around an American dinner menu and one of Florida's more serious wine programs. Wine Director Virginia Philip oversees a 55,000-bottle cellar of 2,230 selections, with particular depth in California, Burgundy, and Bordeaux. Star Wine List awarded the program a White Star in December 2021.

  • La Goulue Palm Beach

    Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

    La Goulue brings the studied ease of classic French brasserie cooking to Palm Beach's South County Road, a stretch where old-money restraint and seasonal migration set the social tempo. The format favors the kind of menu that rewards regulars — direct bistro fare executed with consistency rather than surprise. It sits comfortably in the upper-casual tier of the island's dining circuit.

  • Meat Market Palm Beach

    Wine Spectator Award of Excellence · Exceptional wine program

    Meat Market Palm Beach brings the Miami steakhouse group's format to the island's Bradley Place address, positioning itself within Palm Beach's mid-to-upper dining tier alongside peers like The Butcher's Club. The menu architecture centers on prime cuts with composed accompaniments, read against a dining room that signals occasion without demanding formality. For visitors planning around the winter season, it registers as one of the island's more reliable protein-forward options.

  • Renato's

    Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Exceptional wine program

    Set on Via Mizner in the heart of Palm Beach, Renato's occupies a position in the island's formal Italian dining tier that few contemporaries have matched for longevity. The setting — a covered terrace and candlelit interior steps from Worth Avenue — draws a clientele that treats dinner here as ceremony rather than convenience. For the Palm Beach dining calendar, it remains a reliable reference point.
