Welcome to the Dockside Reset

Dine Out Lauderdale brings two months of coastal flavor with 100+ exclusive menus, August 1–September 30.

This summer, Greater Fort Lauderdale invites you to experience Dine Out Lauderdale—a two-month celebration of food, flavor, and life by the water. From August 1st through September 30th, more than 100 restaurants across the destination are offering exclusive, limited-time, three-course menus crafted by some of the region’s most creative chefs.

Enjoy specially curated prix-fixe lunches starting at $35 and elevated dinner menus up to $75. From globally inspired flavors and fresh-caught seafood to plant-based dishes that highlight seasonal ingredients, every meal is an invitation to indulge, explore, and reconnect—with food, with community, and with yourself.

Wellness and indulgence go hand in hand. Menus feature vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, all served with flair, color, and bold flavor. Whether you’re craving bright ceviches, grilled local snapper, or creative vegan bowls, you’ll find something fresh and full of flavor.

The best part: all of this comes with a view. Greater Fort Lauderdale boasts over 300 miles of inland waterways, transforming every meal into a true sensory experience. Grab a table on a breezy patio or pull up by boat to dock-and-dine favorites like Shooters Waterfront, Rivertail, Blue Moon Fish Co., and Boathouse at the Riverside—where waterfront views and swaying palms set the scene and you have space to reset and relax.

Beyond lunch and dinner, Dine Out Lauderdale offers brunch specials, wine pairings, happy hour deals, mixology classes, and chef-led events you won’t find any other time of year. From MICHELIN Guide favorites like Evelyn’s and MAASS to under-the-radar gems scattered throughout the region, each bite tells a story, and every stop adds a delicious new chapter to your journey.

Whether you’re a local foodie, a returning visitor, or a first-time explorer, Dine Out Lauderdale is your invitation to taste the season, soak up the vibe, and make unforgettable memories by the water.
