Always a nice experience here. Whether a yummy quick breakfast sandwich, or a healthy lunch! If you're in the building or nearby, it worth the walk. They also have other homemade food items and have daily specials as well!

Super fresh, everything made from scratch gem in downtown. It's definitely worth the walk or parking. Amazing cold-pressed juice, breakfast, soups, lunch and treats! Lunch specials can't be beat! It feels like a lunch you would get at one of the big places on Las Ola's, but fresher and the staff is way more friendly. Definitely give it a try!

I love everything these folks prepare! Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed If you haven’t tried ChefMN, you are missing out on one of the best breakfast and lunch eateries in downtown Fort Lauderdale. It’s GOURMET home cooking!

Chef MN is a hidden gem on the fifth floor of an office building. The quinoa bowls are amazing - packed with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it a must-visit spot for a healthy lunch or snack.

Started going here back in Sept. of 2021. There hasn’t been a meal I haven’t enjoyed. Today I grabbed the Fritos crunch wrap. Absolutely fantastic. Typically go for breakfast and did the lunch today as well. It didn’t disappoint! Thanks for being here! Recommend trying if you work in the building or stop by this building during lunch time.

ChefMN is where I start my work days with good Italian double-espresso. Staff is super friendly, pastry is fresh. SOUPS!! Broccoli and English potato soups are my favorites. Michael is the owner and actually running place and cooking as well. Besides regular lunch favorites - tuna sandwich and salad / quinoa Mediterranean bowl with chicken / meatball Parmesan hot sub- they do have specials every day. Very friendly environment, come for taco Tuesdays! Oh, also they have few tables in the back where you can have a private talks with your crush from work over the lunch
