The Florida
Dispatch.
Florida represents the new wave of the Portuguese diaspora. Unlike the historic whaling and factory communities of the Northeast, Florida's Portuguese population is younger, rapidly growing, and heavily influenced by connections to Brazil and Venezuela as well as mainland Portugal. In Miami and Orlando, modern, upscale Portuguese dining is taking center stage. Meanwhile, the Palm Coast has quietly become a major hub for retirees and families seeking the sun, creating a relaxed, welcoming community atmosphere. Whether you are looking for a high-energy dining experience in Brickell or a quiet bakery in Port St. Lucie, Florida offers a tropical twist on Tuga traditions.
