Fine Dining & Local Favorites
While the Loxahatchee Club’s own clubhouse offers elevated dining exclusively for members—think expertly prepared steak, fresh-caught fish, and sweeping fairway views—there’s culinary magic to be found just outside the gates, particularly clustered along Military Trail and Indiantown Road.
- Leftovers Café (Alt A1A & Indiantown Rd)
A true local legend, Leftovers Café (located a short five-minute drive from Loxahatchee Club) is where Jupiter foodies flock for inventive, ultra-fresh Florida seafood and quirky coastal décor. Their dynamite fish tacos, Asian-style poké bowls, and banana nut-crusted mahi have kept the place packed for years. Prices run from $16-$35, with generous portions and an ever-changing specials board. Don't miss the garlicky sweet Blue Cheese Chips—a perfect shareable starter.
- The Parisian (Military Trail & University Blvd)
For a European twist, The Parisian offers sophisticated French cuisine in a warm, brasserie-style setting. The classic duck à l'orange, rich boeuf bourguignon, and decadent desserts like tarte Tatin make it a top spot for date night or a celebratory dinner. Entrees average $28-$45, and their lunch prix-fixe is an underrated deal.
- Food Shack (Alt A1A & Indiantown Rd)
Just across from Leftovers Café (their sister restaurant), Food Shack’s unpretentious exterior belies some of the most creative, market-driven cooking Jupiter has to offer. Expect globally inspired bowls—think Thai, Mediterranean, and Jamaican flavors—alongside fresh fish with crispy “sweet potato crust.” You’ll likely deal with a wait, but the warm, buzzy atmosphere is worth it.
