Pastis Opens West Palm Beach Restaurant at Nora Hotel
The French brasserie's fifth location occupies the ground floor of the 201-room Nora Hotel.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Hospitality
Pastis opened its West Palm Beach location in October inside The Nora Hotel, marking the restaurant's fifth location. The French brasserie serves classic fare including French onion soup, escargots, mussels, steak frites, and the Cheeseburger à l'américaine.
Why it matters
The opening extends the restaurant's footprint from its New York roots to South Florida, where it joins a growing number of hotel-anchored dining rooms. The move reflects the continued pairing of established restaurant brands with boutique hotel properties.
The restaurant occupies the ground floor of a 201-room property, and its 1999 origin in New York's Meatpacking District makes this its fifth location. Operating details such as seating capacity and hours were not included in the available information.
