New Restaurants in Indian River County – January 2024

Welcome to the vibrant culinary scene of Indian River County, Florida, where four new locally-owned restaurants have recently opened their doors, adding unique flavors to our already diverse foodie landscape. Among these newcomers, we have a smash burger haven, a brand new Chop House masterminded by one of Vero’s Top Chefs. In addition, a downtown staple has undergone a total renovation and rebranding, unveiling a fresh new identity. Completing this quartet is a trendy new Boba tea shop that emerged just a few weeks ago. Supporting these mom-and-pop establishments is crucial for our local economy, ensuring that the money we spend dining out stays in our community, supporting families, and enriching our local dining experiences.
