Boca has some serious eateries these days.
I’ve been to Florida many times and I thought I’d seen it all, but when I did some Google searches for Boca Raton, the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens came up. None of us had ever been there, so we spent a few hours on the beautiful grounds, learning all about different flora and fauna. We took stunning pictures with lakes in the background, and enjoyed the bonsai trees, some of which were several hundred years old!
Boca has some serious eateries these days. With the community growing ever more quickly, there’s been a veritable kosher food explosion in the area. I managed to eat at several delightful restaurants, which you can enjoy with me virtually.
Carmela’s: With plenty of indoor and outdoor seating at this dairy restaurant, we chose to eat outdoors. We sampled a good portion of the delicious menu, enjoying pasta, pizza, sushi, and fish. I loved the Tuna Tower and Tuna Ahi Nachos, which were layered with spicy tuna, pico de gallo, roasted corn, kimche, and spicy mayo on fried wontons. I’m dreaming about them still.
Roadhouse: I did a cooking demo at Roadhouse, and then was joined by fellow food blogger Esty Wolbe of Cookingwithtantrums and I Don’t Cook But I Give Out Recipes fame. We sat at the outdoor bar and watched the chef whip up some mouth-watering cocktails and appetizers. We tried the Trifecta, a flatbread rubbed with garlic and topped with roasted mushrooms, and the Pico De Carne, layers of meat and avocado topped with pico de gallo. I was in heaven — it’s my favorite kind of food. The fried cauliflower was insane, and I loved the Lemon Pie-Tini, since I’m partial to lemon-flavored anything.
