Normally, you would not think of taking a food tour in a city such as West Palm Beach. But, the city is being rejuvenated and has become a vibrant place after years of decline. As our guide explained, West Palm Beach has become an area catering to a diverse group of people. The walls on the buildings are decorated with artistic scenes (not graffiti) and the center of the city has a grass area overlooking the water where families come to have fun, especially on the weekends when there is a farmers market. We went to seven restaurants, beginning at a Swedish coffee shop. Next came a wine bar which serviced a wonderful cocktail and two small plates. At several of the restaurants, the chef came out and explained each of the dishes. But, perhaps, the food highlight was the very uniquely prepared brussel sprouts. (yes, that is correct and I am hardly a fan of sprouts) The other highlight was the final stop where the owner opened a coconut using a machete and served the milk with a piece of fantastic key lime pie. Everyone agreed it an terrific food tour and all of us had fun.

I'm glad you were pleasantly surprised by the "new & improved" downtown West Palm Beach. We have certainly evolved beyond just bars and bar food, and I appreciate you letting us introduce you to our vibrant city and delicious culinary scene. I had a gentleman on my tour a couple of years ago that told me he had been vacationing here for years, but all he did in West Palm Beach was fly in and out. On his most recent visit, many of his friends in New York had told him about a great restaurants he needed to try, and things he needed to do...everything they were telling him about was in West Palm Beach! So, he signed up for our food tour to get a glimpse of downtown. At the end of the day, he told me, "I'm impressed. This is not the West Palm Beach it used to be. It has become a destination filled with great dining options and plenty to do.." Thanks again for taking the time to leave a delicious play-by-play of our tour!
