La Fuga at the Shorebreak

A Coastal Italian Escape in Fort Lauderdale Beach

Experience modern, coastal Italian cuisine at Fort Lauderdale’s newest hot spot, La Fuga. Chef Michael Mayer infuses local South Florida flavors with classic Italian staples to create a fusion of crave-worthy, contemporary dishes.

La Fuga, (Italian for “the escape,”) is nestled in the heart of the Kimpton Shorebreak, named in homage to the location’s historic beginnings. The newly renovated Kimpton Shorebreak occupies a unique space in Fort Lauderdale, originally opened as The Escape Hotel in 1949.

La Fuga pays tribute to its origin story in name and also in atmosphere. Featuring mid-century design, and a laid-back vibe, the indoor-outdoor dining room includes views of the hotel’s scenic courtyard and provides access to a rooftop pool overlooking Fort Lauderdale’s intercoastal.
