Palm Beach County's Best New Restaurants to Celebrate in 2022
Best of South Florida
Coco Sushi Lounge
Whether you're new to South Florida, a returning snowbird, or a longtime local, there's no denying we can all appreciate the region's flourishing dining scene.
In 2021, South Florida welcomed a diverse list of new and noteworthy developments. As one of America top resort destinations comprised of 39 cities and towns from Jupiter, West Palm Beach, and Palm Beach to Delray Beach and Boca Raton, travelers and locals alike now have more ways to enjoy the culinary diversity of The Palm Beaches.
This year, that means foodies can find a number of fresh, fun restaurant concepts alongside the area's flourishing arts, entertainment, and cultural scene as well as a long list of reimagined and renovated resorts.
Here, a list of South Florida's best new restaurants to open in Palm Beach County, worthy of exploring in 2022:
AllyCat Izakaya
AlleyCat Izakaya — Boca Raton
South Florida chef Eric Baker, also chef/owner at longtime Boca Raton haunt, Rebel House, has teamed up with Sushi by Bou Beach Club partner David Bouhadana to deliver their take on a traditional Japanese pub experience in Palm Beach County. The idea: share a few small plates over a drink or two. The menu is split up into cold plates, hot plates, rice and noodles, meat, fish, and sushi. Try the king crab tacos and the shrimp crispy rice paired or sushi like the spicy scallop roll or the surf and turf roll with lobster and seared wagyu, then wash it all down with a cold beer. Love meat? The Japanese-style bacon, wagyu beef dumplings, or grilled short rib with black garlic pair perfectly with a crisp, clean bottle of sake. Or let the chef choose for you with the house omakase sushi option.
Uncle Pinkie's Deli
Uncle Pinkie's Deli — Boca Raton
Anyone craving pastrami-by-the-pound or bagels smothered in smoked fish should head to Uncle Pinkie's Deli, a new Jewish deli concept from South Florida chef Eric Baker. The menu of classics are inspired by Baker's Eastern-European heritage (and childhood spent on Long Island), making Uncle Pinkie's the spot for rroast beef, pastrami, and corned beef that is brined and smoked in-house, served up alongside deli items like open-faced bagels, stacked sandwiches, and smoked fish or deli meats sold by the quarter- or half-pound. Don't miss the noodle kugel, truffle knish with potatoes and leek, rugelach, or smoked trout topped with cucumber and pickled shallots on an open-faced bagel.
Sadelle's
Sadelle's at The Boca Raton – Boca Raton
A Boca Raton outpost of this New York brunch institution stands as the first Palm Beach County location for Major Food Group, which opened its famous Carbone, Sadelle's, and other concepts in Miami in 2021.
