Directed by Jeffrey Chodorow, the Delano Hotel's main restaurant presents modern French cuisine with Brazilian and global influences indoors and alfresco.

Spanish tapas, French entrees and festive cocktails share the stage with live music and an extensive cocktail menu at this cozy South of Fifth hideaway. Entrees include Filet Mignon with cognac pepper sauce and chicken Almondines.

The menu skews French and seafood-heavy at this hotel dining room. Sit outside and enjoy dinner under the stars.

Dig into chic family-style "world cuisine" at this longtime SoBe outpost. Favored dishes include lamb spareribs, lobster pancakes, curry miso black cod and sake marinated "drunken" chicken.

Famed Manhattan-based chef David Bouley oversees this South Beach outpost serving French international cuisine. Tasting menu includes yellowtail with hon shimeji mushrooms, gently smoked wild king salmon and rack of Cooperstown organic lamb.

Emeril Lagasse serves us his signature "'new New Orleans" cuisine in the Loews hotels. Signature dishes include New Orleans barbecue shrimp, Niman Ranch double-cut pork chop and carmelized sweet potatoes.

Charming French treats under the twinkling lights of Espanola Way. Come for the crepes, stay for the cafe au lait.
