The Treasure Coast restaurant scene in 2026 is different. Not just another seafood spot on the water — the new crop of restaurants actually has range.
Casa Pasta just opened in Downtown Fort Pierce with handmade Italian pasta, a serious wine list, and craft cocktails. The Funky Cuda, also in Fort Pierce, leans into the colorful, open-air, live-music vibe that the Sunrise City does best.
In Stuart, Pez Vela Fusion Kitchen is doing something genuinely new — Spanish-Asian fusion with a cocktail-forward setup. Hudson's on the River brings waterfront dining with nigiri, shareables, and a modern bar scene feel to Martin County.
Over in Vero Beach, Farm & Flame is blending farm-country ambiance with sushi and Thai dishes. Atmosphere at Vero pairs live jazz with upscale dining. Val's Brazilian Grill is going hard on churrasco.
The 772 food scene used to be chains and old-school seafood. It's not that anymore. These new spots are bringing real culinary identity to the coast, and they're worth the drive no matter which town you're in.
