Café des Beaux-Arts

Palm Beach


Housed in the Pavilion alongside Flagler's private railroad car is this period café, built in the style of a 19th-century iron-and-glass railway palace. Here you can daintily dine on finger sandwiches, scones and custom-blended teas looking out over Lake Worth. Pinkies out!
