AIR MARGARITAVILLE T1 CENTRAL – Restaurant

Terminal 1 at Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International is not where you expect a proper sit-down bar, yet here it is: a full-service island-themed restaurant and bar serving breakfast through dinner between gates, its kitchen drawing on American and Caribbean cooking. Order Coconut Shrimp, Volcano Nachos or spinach and artichoke dip, a Cheeseburger in Paradise dressed with paradise island sauce on a brioche bun, or fish tacos fried in LandShark batter and finished with avocado, cilantro-lime slaw and key lime crema. Drinks run to house-made margaritas, frozen boat cocktails and cold LandShark Lager. Vacation, it turns out, can start well before boarding.
