Saiko-i Sushi Lounge and Hibachi, Plantationīefore year’s end, this Japanese restaurant and lounge plans to debut inside the city’s Shoppes at Broward plaza on Broward Boulevard, behind Broward Mall. “Delray Beach is a special culinary and hospitality destination that I’m happy to be able to add my vision and concepts.” 233 NE Second Ave., Delray Beach 56 “Coming to The Ray Hotel was something of a no-brainer for us, as the property itself exudes that vibrant, beachy-yet- modern feel, a perfect fit for what Campi is.” In other news at the hotel: Chef Akira Back will, in addition to helming his eponymous eatery, also take over Rosewater Rooftop.“I could not be more excited to be expanding in Delray Beach with Rosewater Rooftop,” Back says. “We’ve found a new culinary home here in Delray Beach, with this being our third restaurant we will open in the downtown area,” Huegel says. Known for Manhattan’s Campagnola, Bill’s Townhouse, American Cut and Scarpetta, Huegel also has Avalon Steak & Seafood as well as Lulu’s Café & Cocktails in Delray Beach’s dining and entertainment enclave. This new concept from restaurateur Curt Huegel is expected to open in The Ray Hotel sometime this fall, taking the space that formerly housed Ember Grill. There are also shrimp coxinha, salmon carpaccio, yakisoba and tilapia bites for appetizers, and Nutella rolls and ice cream cookie sandwiches for dessert. Ceviche, temaki, sashimi, nigiri and sushi are offered in a la carte or all-you-can-eat formats, with buffet prices broken down by age ranges. Kingdom, which takes over a former Tijuana Flats, will feature mostly Japanese cuisine with a splash of Brazilian, including caipisake cocktails (like caipirinhas, but with sake). 2006 NW Executive Circle, Boca Raton 56 /GallaghersBocaīorn in Orlando, this growing buffet sushi mini-chain registered to Cleston Santino Pereira plans to open its third Florida location on Powerline Road in Boca Raton this summer. Along with steak entrees, the restaurant will serve seafood towers, shrimp and lobster dumpling starters, and mashed potatoes and creamed spinach as sides. “I know some of our Boca Raton guests will have visited our New York location already, but I’m just as excited to welcome first-timers who will realize that Gallaghers is so much more than just a steakhouse,” restaurateur Dean Poll says in a news release.

Gallaghers, replacing the former Madisons New York Grill & Bar, ages its steaks within an in-house meat locker for 21 days before firing them on hickory coal grills.

This 96-year-old steakhouse - a midtown Manhattan shrine to Broadway stars, gangsters, gamblers and celebrities dating back to the Prohibition era - will finally bring its white-tablecloth grandeur and dry-aged beef to Boca Raton when it debuts on July 19. There are also sirloin steak strips, calabresa (Brazilian sausage) subs, Brazilian hot dogs (corn, potato sticks, mozzarella, Parmesan, tomato sauce on brioche) and sides of fried yucca and plantains. The result: an over-the-top, leaning tower of hamburger. The burger joint, which opened its first brick-and-mortar in Pompano Beach in 2021, slings Brazilian-style Angus patties loaded with toppings familiar (bacon, sunny-side-up eggs) and unfamiliar, like corn, potato sticks, bananas, shredded chicken, catupiry (a Brazilian cream cheese) and prato (a gouda-like cow’s milk cheese). What began as Marco and Ana Paula’s Brazilian food truck has graduated into a second storefront set to debut this August within the former Rosati’s Pizza in the Turtle Crossing plaza. Here’s what’s coming soon to a city near you.

When it comes to food, South Florida is a great place to be.
