Lake Worth is a little-known gem in southern Florida in between West Palm Beach and Boynton Beach. An idyllic stop-off point on a road trip down Interstate 95, Lake Worth has an abundance of places for good food on the way. Here are our 8 favorites.
Thought to be one of the best Greek restaurants in the state, Chris’ Taverna offers diners excellent, authentic Mediterranean fare in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The dishes are colorful, tasty, and perfectly presented. Popular options include chargrilled baby lamb chops, loukaniko sausage, shrimp salad, and, of course, the go-to gyro wrap. Incredibly popular, Chris’ Taverna fills up fast, so either get there early or be prepared to wait a short while for a table. Luckily, the staff is used to a busy restaurant, and neither the speed of service nor the quality of the cooking ever suffers

One of the more unusual fusion restaurants in the city, The Pelican Restaurant serves traditional American breakfasts daily, but come Friday night it swaps the pancakes for proper Indian curries.

Fans of spicy fare will appreciate the Indian specials that regularly sneak onto the breakfast menu, with eggs Nissa being a particular favorite. Elsewhere on the menu the omelets, pancakes, and even the lunchtime pizza are all said to be some of the best in the state.
