Pastis in WPB Nora District
Excitement is bubbling in West Palm Beach as The Nora District, the city’s newest and most vibrant pedestrian-friendly destination, gears up to unveil Pastis, the legendary Parisian-style brasserie by the acclaimed James Beard Award-winning restaurateur Stephen Starr. As the crown jewel of The Nora Hotel’s ground-floor dining, Pastis promises to be a cornerstone of this dynamic new district.
Stephen Starr, the mastermind behind STARR Restaurants, is not only bringing Pastis to The Nora Hotel but is also set to craft the hotel’s rooftop restaurant and lounge, along with operating in-room dining services. This marks Pastis’s fourth location, joining its celebrated outposts in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, Washington D.C., and Miami.
Richard Born, owner of BD Hotels, expressed his enthusiasm: “Nora is all about exceptional hospitality. The Nora Hotel will be the heart of this district, blending world-class service with stellar food and beverage experiences. We’re thrilled to welcome Pastis, one of the country’s most celebrated bistros, as our anchor.”
Pastis West Palm Beach will be a significant addition, taking up 13,300 square feet of The Nora Hotel’s ground floor. This space will include both indoor and outdoor seating, designed to transport diners straight to a classic Parisian brasserie. With its iconic curved zinc bar, crisp white subway tiles, and striking red banquettes, Pastis promises to deliver a taste of Paris right in West Palm Beach.
