Pistache French Bistro — West Palm Beach

Right on the waterfront near Clematis Street with views of the Intracoastal that make every single meal feel like an event even a random Tuesday lunch. Pistache does classic French fare the way it's supposed to be done, and there's a reason it was named the best French restaurant in Palm Beach and Broward counties. The Sunday brunch locals call it "le frunche" is a whole experience with champagne and pastries that Julie says reminds her of mornings in a Parisian café, except the weather's actually nice. This is the spot you bring someone when you want to impress them without being over the top about it. Order the steak frites, trust the wine list, and sit outside if you can.
