“With an eclectic menu ranging from excellent crab cakes to crispy sumac chicken, Dada has been a fixture in the Delray dining scene for as long as I can remember. It’s located in one of the oldest historic homes in the area—the Tarrimore house, built around 1924—so eating here also counts as a cultural experience in my book. I prefer to dine outside underneath the huge banyan trees and string lanterns (sipping a mojito, obviously), but inside you’ll find a comfortable bar and live local music most nights.”
