The art and design inside and out of this place is so awesome. We had a beautiful night Overlooking the water with the full moon shining down. The whole grain bowl without the feta is one of my favorites and is a must try! If you love sweet potato, The organic sweet potato power was also tasty. The seasoning on the kale was citrus and fresh. Overall wonderful experience.
You walk in and its so peaceful and decorated really cute. The staff was so friendly and very helpful. They treated everyone like theyve been coming there for years. They have dining inside, outside and on the river which was stupid cool! I love it. The food was super good and so fresh. The bread was homemade it was yummy.
I love this place.. EVERYTHING IS FRESH, DELICIOUS AND CONSISTENT... plus its one of the only places with outdoor seating on a river.. its a special, magical, healthy spot... and as much as I dont want to share it, I feel I have to. Enjoy... I am here almost every day when Im in Florida. Breakfast, Lunch/dinner and a Sunday brunch!!The photo I took the other day... breakfast... huevos rancheros... delicious!!!
I don’t mind paying extra for quality and experiences but I think this place is OVERRATED.The food is “ok” if you’re looking for healthy, organic, sustainable options but the price ain’t really justified. We paid $45 for 2 breakfast and 2 juices.They have a wide range of options to eat-in or take out, juices and smoothie bowls.
Well thought out renovation, of really cool, wide part of river location. Peaceful property, considering you are right on Federal Highway. Menu is similar to Across from Galleria Mall location, but they are letting the market speak to them, (just a little bit) Access, and parking, could not be easier. Unstress for a few minutes, be yourself, if that is vegetarian, or not. They do not disappoint. Vehicle access and parking is a breeze, in and out.
The best! The manager and employees were SO extremely accommodating to my party of 10 on a Sunday afternoon (yes- I convinced 10 family members to travel 30 mins because I love it!!). The food came out quickly for it being so busy. LOVE the PITAYA BOWL and CHOCOLATE ALMOND smoothies! For savory lovers, get the EGGS BENI or GRILLED CHICKEN ! A meal for two can easily be over $40, but well worth it in my opinion!
Love this place! Healthy, organic, good-for-your- soul (and stomach) food. Mayapapaya is our Fort Lauderdale go-to food jam. Salads, pitas, bison and veggie burgers are all worth a detour.Outdoor seating along the river is wonderful; like stepping back into an vintage Florida scene. Inside, the restaurant is modern, bright and cheerful. Visit once and youll be hooked.
Amazing place for healthy food.Hard to find really good tasting healthy food that is conveniently located.Everything on the menus is house made with love and you can taste it.The cashier brooks is super cute also I may or may not stop in just to see him lol and get some amazing food
I had a late lunch here last week so while I waited for my food I sat on the dock and sun bathed.....but enough about my zen moment.....I ordered their grilled chicken tacos and holy Guacamole! You can taste every single flavor packed into their fresh tortillas. Homemade chips and salsas on the side. People were welcoming and friendly. Ive been a local for 6 years and cant believe Ive never been here before! Will go again and recommend to all! So many amazing and healthy food and smoothie options! Love this place ❤️
If money is of no concern to you, and you don’t mind non-compliance with Covid guidelines for restaurants, this is your go-to place. Very little if any parking (def not enough # of required handicap spaces), tables on River close together, and servers carrying open plates of food through parking lot in between cars, that can’t be legal !! I’m appalled this place hasn’t been shut down. 👎👎
Yummy. Try the grilled chicken sandwich. Fresh made mozzarella delish. Staff is always friendly
...good customer service. There’s a nice lake view if you dine outside. I had a smoothie. It was excellent!
1) parking: limited. Waited about 10 mins for a spot.2) food: was good, however portion was small.3) price: just in the border to consider it expensive.4) drinks: smoothies were delicious, but late to the table.
The restaurant offers nice water views with limited # of tables outdoors. Food quality is very good.
The food was decent.. and that is the last good thing I can say about this restaurant...The outdoor seating is absolutely disgusting. Me and my guest did not even want to eat there it was so filthy. The cushions and pillows are filled with dirt stains and makes you want to disinfect yourself after getting up. After surveiling the patrons there it wasnt hard to figure out why.. everyone looked dirty and unbathed. To top that off they have a musician playing obnoxiously loud and his voice was terrible.We moved to the seating by the water and it was the same... We left.. absolutely disgusting.
Nice place for a bite. People are very friendly and nice. Love it.
Feels a tad unorganized. Had the eggs beni and it was okay. Hollandaise was great but my poached eggs was overdone. Also would have loved a knife but was not given one.
Acai bowls were massive, you get more than what you paid for. But wasnt the best acai bowl Ive had, still good though for an out-of-towner like myself.
Have been coming here for years! vegetarian friendly, delicious, decent portion sizes
It was my first time here and just went in for a smoothie. I got the banana kush and it was the best smoothie Ive ever had! Their menu has quite a few vegan options so Ill definitely be returning to try their food. Also, the customer service was excellent.Update- Came back to eat with my family and their falafel pita sandwiches were amazing! Quite possibly the best weve ever had! It was my wifes first time there and she also said the banana kush was the best smoothie shes ever had too! We sat outside and loved that they had a tricycle for our little one. This place is cool vibes all around.
If there was a no star review I would give it. Really bad experience. Not nice stuff, she didn’t even say hi. It took 15 min to make a coffee and we were 2 costumers inside waiting. Just 2. The girls were chitchatting. Like com’on guys. One was doing a smoothie the other one from the register not doing anything just sitting there talking with the other one.I don’t usually leave bad reviews cu I work in the same business but this was disrespectful. Finally i left without the coffee. Thank you for such a bad experience.
Very friendly and good service. Organic food that is excellent!! Party of four all agreed.
We ate here after our pictures at Little’s Photo nearbyIt says ‘good food takes time’ inside but it didn’t take too long for the burger and the falafel plateSteak plate was out quick tooEverything is simple and fresh and tastySmoothie was so simple but so goodPlenty of outdoor covered seating in the front although a lot of people were insideWife loved it
Great coffee drinks! Awesome looking food options too which well have to try next time. Relaxing outdoor area with tables and chairs next to the canal as well. Highly recommended!
Love the selection, quality and Kombucha. Friendly staff, options to sit outside next to the intercoastal. Have gone more that 6 times now.
This restaurant is situated in the heart of the Fort Lauderdale area near an intercostal waterway where you can paddleboard out to sea. It is a favorite hangout for beach lovers and health-nuts.The decor is a stunning mix of boho, luxury, and modernity. Every table provides a clear view of the food being prepared and the beautiful dock next to the intercostal. Diners are invited into a beautifully decorated outdoor pavilion when they first enter the restaurant with comfortable armchairs and thematic artwork.The menu offers a wide variety of delicious and mouthwatering starters and main courses that will appeal to youngsters and adults alike. I had the chicken tacos with chips and three different salsas, as well as a fresh squeezed juice. It was all followed by a savory vegan treat.Everything I ate was fresh and delicious. The chefs use the best quality ingredients to produce dishes that are simply delightful.I highly recommend this restaurant. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is brilliant.
Unique and interesting menu with many options. Fresh juices is some of the best Ive had. Though pricey for lunch, the portions are a good size and the food is high quality. So you get what you pay for. There is seating outback, with a lovely canal view and breeze.
Amazing falafel pita! I could eat it every day! The papaya salad was great on the side too. A calm and inviting atmosphere. The staff was very helpful. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.
Very good, will definitely go back again
Staff provided customer service! Amazing brunch omelette. Outdoor seating is awesome with several tables on the water and indoor seating is so clean and welcoming! Cold pressed juices are delicious as well!
Wish I could give this place ZERO STARS!the staff messed my food up the last 2 times I came. Did NOTHING to fix the situation. The food is OVERPRICED for what you get ESPECIALLY seeing they cant seem to get it even close to correct. My veggie burger was literally ICED cold. This place is awful. For a great healthy place DO NOT waste your money here! Fresh first is great and hummus house is too. Hopefully this place will close down after the way they treat their customers.
The ingredients, you can tell, are all fresh and high quality -- something that is really important for me. Being a vegetarian, I still have lots of options and thats not something I can say about a lot of restaurants. The staff is all very welcoming and accommodating (we were a group of 15). The prices are a little on the higher side for the portion sizes.
I had the snapper plate and was blown away by the quality and care that was put into cooking that fish. This was a chef-level dish prepared by Dana and I was so grateful for it. Staff is very appreciative and caring as well. Thank you.
This place is absolutely wonderful. Everything I’ve had there is delicious. Service is great..every server greets you with a smile and goes out of his/her way to accommodate you. It’s a terrific restaurant for Sunday brunch also. I will keep going back even though it’s a bit far for me. Worth the trip...!
Love love love!! Of course like all specialty food locales it’s a bit pricey but when you eat fresh with organic ingredients it’s the name of the game. Staff is always great! I had an order for pick up and once got home realIzed they left out 1 of my entrees. I called and spoke to a manager and was kinda peeved I had to drive back to get it. Once I arrived they offered be complimentary bakery items for the inconvenience and said next time I dine be sure to ask for management and they’ll take care of me for sure! Impressed by the service and will definitely patron here again!
Love this place!!! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Food is amazing and so many options for all different diets. I am only here on vacation but will definitely miss this place a lot and will be returning every time Im in town
Nice outside tables with a great view...but I ordered a plate that included whole wheat pita bread, but they instead served white pita bread. I asked the waitress but he insist that the menu just said pita bread (not true). After 5 minutes he brought 1 slice of whole wheat bread. Did not like his attitude, so Im not sure I will come back again. 2 stars for the nice view.
Great healthy options. This is one of the few places where I enjoy the “healthier” food options because they actually taste pretty good. Also the refrigerator with the fresh pressed juices makes it easy for me to grab items on the go. Just plan accordingly if planning to visit on a weekend - this place is small inside and gets packed.
Friendly staff and amazing food, love this place!
Yes. This is the new obsession! Nicest people ever! My Açaí Bowl was amazing g and the vibe was perfect! Thanks for a lovely breakfast hour.
The menu theories from Mia Papaya off of sunrise by the beach, but the food is just as good Its a smaller menu but its very delicious The food quality does not change is exceptional about par. The people that work there are just amazing and very kind. Its a great experience.
Tried this place before with a friend and I am addicted since then. I loved the great character and flavorful dishes and drinks. 5 stars from me.
We were excited to try this place as they have a fantastic vegan range. First thing we noticed was that the manager working at the time ( older gentleman) was in a horribly foul mood which put the younger staff on edge, despite their efforts to be friendly and professional the managers attitude ruined the atmosphere. Food was also quite underwhelming and what we ordered was fairly oily, perhaps we came on a bad day
Delicious menu with many options. Fresh juices are out if this world. The ordering process is a but odd as you need to go up the counter to place an order before sitting down. Its pricey but portions are large and food is high quality so worth the extra $. Sit out back on the canal for a relaxing view.
Delicious drinks and food. Awesome location. Cool and friendly staff. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Awesome house-made veggie burger on toast. shakshuka also delicious. hard and soft drinks, fresh squeezed juice, friendly staff, and good vibe all-around.
I usually go the the other Myapapaya on Bayview but decided to give this one a try.I like the layout. You can sit inside, outside in front or out in the back by the river. I loved my bison burger - I went for Sunday brunch. My burger was juicy and quite tasty with great flavor. I had a freshly squeezed lemonade to drink and was surprised to find it nicely in the middle where it wasnt overly sweet and not too tart.Overall it was a very pleasant eating experience. Definitely planning on going again.
I was there last week for Sunday Brunch, we ordered the Bison burgers and were offered their homemade ketchup. We came back 5 days later with my granddaughter, ordered 2 Bison burgers again, a childrens meal and take out as well. This time we were told we were only allowed ONE ramekin of the homemade ketchup, approximately 1 tablespoon for the table and had to pay for ketchup if we wanted more. After speaking to the manager we were told we were allowed to have more ketchup. I have no idea why they did this to us and even though I loved the food, I will not go back there again. We spent over $110 in 2 visits and I feel we should not be charged for ketchup when you order a burger.
Hoping they open again!
This place is so beautiful and tranquil water front seating as well the staff is amazing and the food is the best I will continue to visit this place from now on and will recommend this place to everyone I encounter there is so much more I need to try. I love the breakfast here and the jam is to die for.
Amazing food from amazing people that care!!! Fresh and delicious!!!! Now more than ever support your local businesses like Myapapaya
This is probably my favorite restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. Me and my friends go here constantly. By far the best quality food in town in my experience. My system is pretty sensitive to food that’s contaminated, old, has any kind of cow’s milk dairy in it, etc. They clearly have a very clean kitchen and serve fresh high quality food. I’ve never had one issue here.
Great food as always. Everything is quality! Always a great spot to grab quality food and sit on the Fort Lauderdale River. This place is a staple for my wife and I.
Food is very high quality and fresh. Staff wasn’t sure how to ring up Vegan substitutes and the price was different when they did by $.50 as stated on the menu. Clean restaurant and a nice outdoor option when weather is nice. Give them a try
Charming and wonderful alternative to the usual processed food. Everything here is organic or alike. I love the vegetarian options. Prices are reasonable, staff is friendly and authentic. Love to come back.
Amazing plates! Super friendly staff, with incredible menu knowledge and great recommendations. Tried the Fruit of the Gods smoothie and was blown away! Best falafel in town too!!
Delicious food prepared with love (can taste it)! Even a simple side salad is loaded with flavor. As a vegetarian, I love the veggie burger! Very reasonably priced compared to other organic restaurants in the area
EXCELLENT Fresh and Delicious Food, Fast and Friendly late night service. I look forward to eating there again! Oh, and the Cucumber Water was so REFRESHING.
This small and trendy spot was one of the best lunches I have had in a while. My coworkers and I dined by the river and noshed on an array of salads, sandwiches and hummus made with extremely fresh ingredients. I will definitely be back!
I hope they never close. Location, Location, Location. My Green Goddess was divine. Really. Allthe food looked great. I always look. Friendly place. You kind of have to take care of yourself. Im down with that. Great place to go especially, well, for any reason. [Partial self serve... should have more signs of the process upon arrival.] I waited on front patio, where the music was, to figure it out for myself. Like an adventure. Listen to music. Sit inside, outsude, or down on the river. #delightful
Cute place. Fresh options of vegetarian and vegan food, but nothing much elaborated. Nice atmosphere.
This place hast creative and delicious vegan dishes and a nice spot along the water to eat. The only downside is that parking is very limited.
If I lived here I would be here at least once a week. Amazing, clean, actually healthy food for a great price and good location. Hell yes, thanks guys
Beautiful casual place with scenic outdoor seating. Service was fantastic. Salad execellent..sandwiches was ok. Still, I will return.
Great food!! I had a pita and you could taste the freshness of the ingredients. Very tasty. I highly recommend.
Good foodFound expensive specially the Caribbean fish plate wich was 23$ the fish portion was extremely small.
My favorite maya papaya hands down!! All of them are amazing and the food will always be tasty but this one is the best of them all
Really good food .... But God forbid you park in one of Dans fan Citys unmarked spaces out back ... The guy spends all his time in back of his store shooing people out of the spaces once theyve parked. So I actually said to the guy, why dont you paint your name on this parking blocks? .... hes like, Its coming, its coming ... Go to this place for the food, just quadruple check where you park.
Theyve done a great job decorating the former BBQ joint. The place was full and it felt a little crowed and noisy (seating is tight + low height ceilings). I ordered the steak & eggs. The eggs were perfectly cooked; the meat rub as well as the sweet potato hash were very salty. The meat was overcooked (I ordered medium). My wife enjoyed her veggie burger with a side of fruit. Well be back when temperature allows to seat outside.
Its hard to find restaurants in the Fort Lauderdale area that offers Great organic meal options! Grass fed meat and wild caught fish. Thankfully there is Mayapapaya where I can get all the above and more! All there meals are not just healthy but taste great as they are so flavorful!
Good food, friendly staff. We will definitely go back.
Very good fresh food but its a bit confusing at first. When I walked in didnt know I had to order at register and then sit. The utensils are in another area. But all in all, nice people and very good food!
Love this place. Great menu, consistent food. GO!
Fresh original recipes. Snapper was served with the tail on it, so you know this place cooks with honesty. Love love!
Bit on the expensive side but it was good and fresh.
This is a great NATURAL FOODS RESTAURANT that caters to all Diet types from Vegan to Paleo.The meals are well planned and very tasty.
