Adil Avunduk is a long way from his birthplace of Istanbul, but he’s been with Palm Beach’s Sant Ambroeus restaurant now for 10 years and loves every part of it. We asked Avunduk to break down a few of his go-to eateries around Palm Beach, and not surprisingly, he is an avid supporter of none other than the legendary Sant Ambroeus.

Where is your food spot favorite spot for a warm meal on a chillier Palm Beach night?

I love the cozy and warm dark feeling of Honor Bar on a chilly evening in PB or Imoto bar to meet with locals over amazing sushi.

What is the best Palm Beach restaurant to impress high-end friends or clients?

I would take them either Renato’s outdoor via to show old classic PB or definitely Sant Ambroeus for a great authentic Italian food

Sant Ambroeus lunch has always been a place sit outside and people watch or Bice restaurant on Worth Avenue for a more private and intimate feeling

Where is the best brunch spot in Palm Beach?

I believe currently Sant Ambroeus is probably hottest Sunday brunch on island, fun and energetic feeling, and also great for families
