V for Variety

Solid Oak
Oak Craft Bar, 1025 N Federal Hwy., 954.616.5578, oakcraftbar.com
They’ve got Taco Tuesdays and brunch on the weekends, and the new craft bar and restaurant is making a name for itself as a fun, lively option. Favorite dishes include Oak’s Jerk Chicken Pasta and the Oak Burger (lettuce, tomato, onions and bacon with signature oak barbecue sauce), plus salads, desserts and more.
Beach to Beach
Mancora Ceviche Bar, 234 Almond Ave., 954.769.1638, mancoracevichebar.com
This ceviche restaurant brings fresh Peruvian cuisine straight from Mancora, Peru to Fort Lauderdale Beach. There are few better ways to finish off a day on the water than with flavorful seafood and refreshing pisco cocktails. Try the Pescado a la Chorrillana (fried fillet of corvina topped with sauteed onions, cilantro and tomatoes, served with white rice) paired with a Beso de Lucuma (Pisco 1615, lucuma, amaretto and cream).
