Tinta
About This Spot
Stepping into Tinta feels like discovering a sunlit nook where the gentle ocean breeze mingles effortlessly with the hum of a morning well begun. Situated just a stone’s throw from Fort Lauderdale’s shimmering shoreline, this breakfast spot strikes a balance between tranquil and lively—a place where the energy of the beach meets the unhurried comfort of a favorite local haunt.
The atmosphere here unfolds with a subtle rhythm: mellow conversations drift alongside the clinking of coffee cups and the occasional laughter from neighboring tables. Large windows frame expansive ocean views, inviting daylight to playfully dance across the warm wood tones and softly textured decor. It’s the kind of place where time feels more generous, allowing for quiet moments or lively catch-ups alike.
Breakfast at Tinta is about savoring familiar flavors with a twist—each dish thoughtfully prepared, offering a fresh take on classic morning fare infused with hints of Mexican influence and coastal inspiration. You might find yourself drawn to satisfy a craving for something hearty yet bright, where perfectly poached eggs meet vibrant salsas or where the subtle sweetness of blueberries plays alongside a velvety pancake drizzle. It’s a culinary embrace that feels both nourishing and unexpectedly light, a delicious way to start the day without rushing ahead.
Beyond the food, the service embodies a welcoming warmth that gently uplifts the experience. Friendly faces move with attentive ease, creating a space that invites you to linger a little longer, whether you’re sharing a casual meal or marking a special morning. The occasional hum of upbeat chatter and the steady pulse of breakfast cocktails—sparkling and spirited—add layers of conviviality without overshadowing the peaceful beachfront serenity.
Tinta doesn’t rush you; it invites you to savor the moment, to watch the sunlight shift over the waves, and to enjoy a breakfast that’s as much about connection and atmosphere as it is about the dishes on your plate. It’s a find for those who cherish beginnings made with care, flavor, and a quietly celebratory sense of place.

We just had breakfast at Tinta on our first morning in Ft Lauderdale. Our waiter, Daniel, was 5-star! The food? Light but filling - I had the huevos rancheros - black beans, perfectly poached eggs placed on crispy tortillas and and a flavorful sauce. My partner had the Mexico City omelette, a combination of carne asade, pineapple, onion and cheese with lovely slices. Fresh and not overwhelming. We both agreed the food was excellent, so good that I forgot to take photos! Let me tell you a few things that might give you clarity if you’re looking into having breakfast at Tinta, which is located in the Westin. If you follow Google maps, you won’t find it. What you will see is Lona. This space is Tinta for breakfast and Lona for lunch and dinner. Since we were not staying at the Westin, we were seated inside the restaurant rather than on the patio. The inside is four star but a little dark. I’m sure the patio is a five star experience. Try Tinta - and see if you can get seating outside!

excellent breakfast experience with fantastic views of the ocean and cool breeze blowing through. enjoyed the Yucatan omelet and carnitas hash breakfast entrees. the Mexican spritzer and cafe latte were also spot on. servers were welcoming and hustled. great overall experience, we would go back again if in Ft Lauderdale.

Tinta is a great spot for breakfast. Awesome view and great service. I got the Baja California omelette and a latte, both were delicious. Will definitely be back.

The food was amazing. Coffee was amazing. Our waiter Anna, was kind but a terrible waiter. She only came to the table four times. Once to get our drink/food order, once to apologize for not bringing our coffee out before the food had arrived because she had a talk with her manager, once to deliver coffee, and once to “collect plates” but we asked for bill. She never checked in on us additionally unless she needed to come to table. The fact that we both finished our meal before the coffee had even arrived was frustrating. Anna was also not very personable or friendly. However she did ask if we had any allergies which was thoughtful. The area was very clean. Our food (plain avocado toast and smothered burrito) was delicious and affordable. It was nice eating outdoors where you could watch the water and birds. Also the male host was awesome and very kind. There was another lady with bright pink lipstick who was very quick with serving water once we sat down and that was also very nice

I had breakfast at Tinta Restaurant and it was an excellent experience. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The atmosphere is cozy, modern, and offers a beautiful view that makes the experience even more special. The service was outstanding—attentive, fast, and very friendly. It’s definitely the perfect spot to start the day with a delicious breakfast and top-notch service. Highly recommended, I’ll be coming back soon!

Absolutely delicious meal. The pancakes were so so good. Fabulous portion size for the price. I didn't even need the syrup, the pancakes were plenty sweet on their own. I wasn't even able to finish unfortunately because it was just so much food. Really thick and fluffy pancakes. The service was fantastic! They were very friendly and attentive, more than I would have expected because of how busy they were, I wouldn't have blamed them for doing a bit less, but they stayed on their A+game. View of the beach keeps the atmosphere so interesting or romantic, based on what's going on. I'd definitely come back!

Amazing food right next to the beach. What more can you ask for! The cinnamon pancakes were so good. They taste like Cinnabon pancakes. Then I had the quesadilla. With cheese eggs and bacon in it and guacamole on top.

Enjoyed wonderful breakfasts here every morning while staying at the Westin. Highly recommend Huevos Rancheros and that pop of glorious egg yolk for a delicious and colorful way to start the morning! Bring your shades and enjoy the Florida sunshine and spectacular ocean view as you eat outside. Service is great even in busy moments, with staff working together to ensure everyone is served. The tiny finches provide amusement on the sunny terrace; adorable little birds. Watch out for the aggressive Grackles, they love the food as well! Thank you for wonderful food, service and spectacular mornings!
