Pastis in West Palm
Pastis is headed to West Palm Beach this fall
Pastis West Palm Beach is scheduled to open at The Nora Hotel in fall 2026, bringing the celebrated Parisian-brasserie concept to one of the city's fastest-growing districts. The restaurant will occupy the ground floor of the new hotel in the Nora District, giving West Palm Beach a version of Pastis designed around the full rhythm of an all-day French brasserie.
The setting is ambitious. Pastis has been announced for approximately 13,300 square feet within the 201-room Nora Hotel, a property developed with hotelier Sean MacPherson and BD Hotels. The hotel's design pairs Palm Beach architectural character with a moodier downtown sensibility, a fitting backdrop for a restaurant known for making a meal feel polished without becoming overly formal.
French brasserie classics from breakfast through dinner
Pastis describes the West Palm Beach menu through enduring French favorites rather than reinvention for its own sake. Buttery croissants will set the tone at breakfast, while later meals are expected to move through steak frites, coq au vin, French onion soup, and a plateau de fruits de mer. Crème brûlée provides the natural finish.
That range is central to the appeal of a brasserie: coffee and pastry in the morning, a long lunch, cocktails at the bar, or dinner by candlelight can all belong to the same room. Pastis West Palm Beach is being positioned to carry that versatility into The Nora Hotel, serving hotel guests while also operating as a neighborhood destination for the wider Palm Beaches.
From the Meatpacking District to South Florida
Pastis first became closely associated with New York's Meatpacking District, where its lively dining room helped define the modern idea of a downtown French brasserie. STARR Restaurants later brought the concept to Wynwood, establishing its first South Florida counterpart and showing how the restaurant's familiar French menu and convivial atmosphere could adapt to a warmer setting.
West Palm Beach will become the next Florida chapter. The location is distinct from Pastis Wynwood, but the connection gives diners a useful preview: classic cooking, an energetic room, and a restaurant designed for lingering rather than rushing through a meal. Its arrival also expands a South Florida portfolio that already moves comfortably between Japanese dining, French brasserie cooking, and two very different steakhouse experiences.
