Pubbelly cofounder, chef Jose Mendin is opening Habitat at the 1 Hotel South Beach.
The restaurant, set to debut in the old Beachcraft space this November, will offer a new take on health food by using wood-baked cookery and an extensive selection of raw items. “Raw means more than ‘raw bar,'” Mendin says.
The restaurant will offer a salad sommelier who will consult with guests to create a custom experience. The menu will be executed by chef de cuisine Angel Palacios, a Michelin-starred Spanish toque.
New Times will speak with Mendin from the Habitat space live today at 3:30 p.m. The chef will discuss the new restaurant and menu items.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
In addition, Mendin will talk about how Hurricane Maria has affected his native Puerto Rico and his efforts to help friends, family, and co-workers on the island.
