Today, Pembroke Pines boasts one of the most diverse, high-quality, and accessible dining scenes in South Florida, drawing food lovers from all over Broward and Miami-Dade counties.

The Shops at Pembroke Gardens: The Dining Epicenter

The majority of Pembroke Pines' top culinary destinations are clustered around the beautiful open-air Shops at Pembroke Gardens. This lifestyle center offers a walkable, beautifully landscaped setting that makes dining out feel like an event. Here are the spots you cannot miss:
