NIGHT OUT



International Flavor



Send your taste buds around the world without leaving town.

  EASTERN VIBE

For a taste of the Middle East, check out the Mezze Tour at Leila in West Palm Beach. It includes small bites of traditional dishes from hummus and tabouleh to Ma’anak (Armenian spiced sausages) and Yulanji (vegetarian stuffed grape leaves). Stick around for a Turkish coffee while you watch the belly dancers perform. (561-659-7373, leilawpb.com)
 
MAMBO ITALIANO


Those “in the know” understand that for authentic Italian food, it’s hard to beat Amici. The popular Palm Beach gathering place serves up delicious homemade pastas and gourmet pizzas. We love the Burrata, Lasagna Bolognese and Sensuous Callebaut Chocolate Mousse Cake. (561-832-0201, amicipalmbeach.com)






 

SOUTH OF THE BORDER

If you’re planning on having dinner at Amazônia Churrascaria in Palm Beach Gardens, you should probably skip lunch. And breakfast. You’ll need the room for the 16 varieties of Brazilian rodizio (Portuguese for “alternating”) meats, including seared top sirloin, roasted leg of lamb, pork loin and chicken breast, all carved tableside by gauchos. A carnivore’s dream come true. (561-694-9400, amazonia-aruba.com)
