New Palm Beach Bistro: the Corner.
There’s only one thing I want from a coastal diner – and it’s not fish’n’chips or a sea view or the ability to eat oysters while sitting in sandy swimmers.
I want all my coastal diners to look like the sort of place Meryl Streep or Diane Keaton would frequent in a Nancy Meyers movie: Something’s Gotta Give, It’s Complicated, you know the vibe. The Corner, The Boathouse Group’s new cafe, bistro, providore hybrid at 1 Beach Road, Palm Beach, nails my wholesome, ultra-specific brief.
The eponymous local team opened its first Boathouse in Palm Beach in 2008. Nearly two decades later, it’s proven readily imitable, with the team copy-pasting its instantly recognisable aesthetic in five more coastal locations. But The Corner, another revamp of the digs, throws that rule book out.
The menu from head chef Sam Kane (ex-Bert’s, Bistro Moncur, Guillaume Brahimi) espouses his “closed loop” philosophy, meaning the produce that’s on shelves at the providore will be on the dining room’s menu, and anything unsold will be pickled then put back onto plates, or jarred and sold.
