This is a working list of restaurants on and just off Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach, Florida. Each one was checked on its own website in October 2026 and appears in the DDA’s downtown directory. We give the address and the hours each restaurant publishes. We do not rank them, copy ratings or quote prices. Where a restaurant states how long it has been open, we say it is the restaurant’s own claim.

City Code Section 113.02 makes it unlawful to drink alcohol or carry an open container on public streets, sidewalks and rights-of-way, on the beach, in public parks and in motor vehicles. Seated patrons of a permitted sidewalk cafe are an exception. So a drink at an outdoor table that belongs to a permitted sidewalk cafe is allowed; walking down Atlantic with it is not.
