Here’s a taste of delicious chicken dishes to explore in Palm Beach. Echo, 230 Sunrise Ave. Sesame chicken with sweet garlic sauce A savory umami and tang, a gentle garlic-and-earthy sesame presence and a sweet finish are among the attributes of Echo’s sesame chicken with sweet garlic sauce ($41).

Thanksgiving at Palm Beach restaurants offers far more than turkey

A notable gatecrasher to the longstanding turkey-and-fixings Thanksgiving tradition is enjoying a colorful presence at the holiday feasts planned by Palm Beach’s restaurants. Talk turkey if you must, but vegetarian dishes are among the specials dining establishments on the island are featuring in addition to the grand ol’ bird on the holdiay, which this year falls on Nov. 26. But rest assured: Turkey has hardly flown the coop, as every restaurant in town that’s open on Thanksgiving will feature organic and other high-quality turkey with stuffing, gravy and other beloved components. But meatless holiday options are growing in popularity. Selections include fish, of course, but in recent years, vegetable-based entrees have joined the Thanksgiving party, because restaurateurs recognize many diners’ appreciation for them. Many restaurants in town also will offer their regular menus on Nov. 26. Making advance reservations is required or highly recommended. Here’s a taste of how chef-prepared golden-skinned roast turkey is just the beginning of what awaits at island restaurants — plus one in nearby Manalapan — on Thanksgiving.

West Palm Beach restaurant lands on 2 prestigious 'best new' lists

Emelina's remarkable first year now includes two more national honors. The 16-seat Cuban tasting counter in West Palm Beach's Flamingo Park neighborhood is one of 15 restaurants named Eater's Best New Restaurants of the Year for 2026. Editors spent months scouting restaurants in 44 cities before choosing winners. Emelina joins restaurants in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and other major foodie capitals. Of note, it's Florida's only restaurant to earm a spot. This year's expanded Eater awards recognize 55 restaurants, bars, chefs, bakeries and dishes in 20 cities. The West Palm Beach restaurant also landed on The Infatuation's 25 Best New Restaurants in America 2026, a list selected after its writers visited more than 2,600 new restaurants during the year. That publication has a notable restaurant-guide pedigree. The Infatuation acquired Zagat from Google in 2018, although the two remained separate brands. In 2021, JPMorgan Chase acquired The Infatuation, including Zagat. Emelina, which opened in February under husband-and-wife chef/partners Osmel González and Camila Salazar, became the first Cuban restaurant in North America to earn a Michelin star earlier this year. “Emelina was built on the belief that Cuban cuisine belongs at the highest level of American dining, and Eater
