DELRAY RESTAURANTS

One thing is sure: Delray visitors won’t have any problem finding good food. Most people stroll along Atlantic Avenue, which is filled with nice restaurants and outdoor cafés. One of my favorites, Cabana El Rey (105 E. Atlantic Ave.; tel.: 561-274-9090), serves tasty Nuevo Latino food (their plantains are sooo good). They also boast they have the best mojitos in town. Seafood lovers will want to dine at City Oyster (213 E. Atlantic Ave.; tel.: 561-272-0220) for the fresh catch of the day. Closer to the hotel, just across the street Caffé Luna Rosa (34 S. Ocean Blvd.; tel.: 561-274-9404) has delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner. The same goes for Boston’s on the Beach (40 S. Ocean Blvd.; tel.: 561-278-3364) which is next door and has been in business for 28 years. Downstairs is a loud sports bar, but upstairs there’s a quiet balcony with a wide range of dishes, including coconut lobster and stone crabs (in season). A funky place to enjoy local artists and American food is DaDa (52 N. Swinton Ave.; tel.: 561-330-3232). I went to their patio to listen to a local band, and ended up having incredible desserts. I better stop here about the food, because I’m getting hungry. I could go on and on, but let me leave you with this little fact: Stone Crabs are in season from October 15 to May 15, which is just about the opposite of hurricanes (June to November).
