Squid Lips Overwater Grill
Melbourne
Iconic waterfront spot on the Indian River next to Eau Gallie Pier. Open oak wood-fired grill gives everything a smoky edge. Known for smoked fish dip and bacon-wrapped scallops.
Mangia e Bevi
Downtown Melbourne
Neapolitan-style pizza and charcuterie boards done right — no shortcuts. Consistently high quality for years. A downtown Melbourne staple.
El Mojito
Downtown Melbourne
Cuban flavors in the heart of downtown. The Lechon Asado is "a mountain of porky grandeur" and the Cuban coffee is spot-on. Great cocktails too.
Taco Dive
Downtown Melbourne
Fun, creative taco spot — drunken burritos, BLT tacos, corned beef creations. Casual downtown hang. Opened 2025.
Umami
Melbourne
Some seafood flown in from Japan. Wagyu Ishiyaki (A-5 Wagyu on hot stone, tableside) is a showstopper. One of Brevard's most serious Japanese restaurants.
Saigon Baguette
Melbourne
Authentic Vietnamese sandwiches (banh mi), pho, and more. Quick, affordable, flavorful.
